Pinback - Loro

And the Ripped Ones say goodbye
While the others meet,
Attached somewhere
At least they're shared

And the Ripped Ones never collide,
While the others
While the others

Four
(And the Ripped Ones say goodbye) Nine
Five
(While the others meet) Three
(attached somewhere) One
(At least they're shared)

Four
(And the Ripped Ones never collide) Nine
Five
(While the others) Three
(While the others) One
(While the others)

Four, nine, five, three, one
Four, nine, five, three, one
Four, nine, five, three, one

People may be curious about the use of "D-I-E-C-A" in the video. I, when making the video, was under the assumption that "49531" corresponded with the letters of the alphabet, but have recently read that this may not be the case. I have read things ranging from "the numbers correspond to letters" to "the number is significant because it's prime" to "Pinback's lyrics don't mean anything, they are just meant to blend well with the music". Whatever the case may be, I kind of regret putting it in, but it is what it is.

Thanks for watching.

@Breatheandfeel where can i find the orange and purple milk drop photo at 0:29?

[Breatheandfeel]

@eamonious Thanks for watching. That image (along with a few of the other high speed water images in the video) was taken by Vladimir Nefedov. Just do a google image search for his name and you will find that picture in a few different sizes.

I loved the song and really liked all the pictures...until it said DIE

[Breatheandfeel]

@lnr08f I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures up to that point. When I made the video, I was under the impression that the numbers that he sings (4, 9, 5, 3, 1) corresponded to letters (d, i, e, c, a). I read of that correlation on several websites and believed it to be true. I have since learned that this might be incorrect and wish that I hadn't included it. But yeah, that's why it's in there.

1:14 was so impacting

[sgalley22]

slideshow is better than the song

[swede6666]

@Breatheandfeel could it be a bible reference? He made theological references in his old band Thingy at times

Where's the love button?

[theangryintern]

This is my favorite of all the Pinback songs.

[LosersIncorporated]

I had sex to this song once. I would say it was beautiful, if it had been with someone else.

[turbosprint]

@Breateandfeel If you're interested, Pinback just tweeted: "4, 9, 5, 3, 1" from Loro off the debut album means what you want it to... when written, it had no correlation to anything.
