    I'm imagining an android robot girl trying to comprehend emotion.

    this is a sample from one of those 'reading rainbow' type shows, i can't remember exactly which one.

    the girl is writing with a pencil, trying to phonetically sound out 'love' so she can spell it correctly. each time she says 'no', you can hear an erasing noise as she erases the word and tries again.

    This is another BoC sample of a Sesame Street vignette. I also remember this one, but not very well, which makes me think that they ran it quite a bit in the early- to mid-80's. I have to skip this track when I listen to it on headphones in a quiet environment. It may be that there are some subliminal things going on. How come no one's sampled "Penny" from Pee-Wee's Playhouse? Now that was some freaky stuff: a talking chair with huge teeth, a convicted sex offender as a host, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. in a full-on cowboy outfit.

    I believe it was the mighty Morpheus(lawrence fishburne), who was the always positive and silly "Cowboy Curtis". :)

    im also like bocmaxima. listening to this song by yourself with headphones is intense. It's not just because of the whole horror movie cliche (little girl=scary) its beyond that.... the delay used on the voice is captivating.

    I listened to this song a in complete darkness/silence in my bedroom a few days ago and found myself terrified. I find this very odd considering cichon123 and bocmaxima feel the same way. There's something to this song.

    there is something to this song. notice the girl makes sequentially rising sounds (and so does the music) after each successful attempt. but this is not whats interesting whats interesting is the content, the change in psychological meanings of the same phrase used with different operators. the shift in consciousness between: i love mum (implying specifics), i love you (imply the possibility that love can be felt for others as well), and then the most important I LOVE. if you have understood my meaning in that then well done.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
