| Jets to Brazil – ******* Lyrics | 18 years ago |

this song is directly tied to midday anonymous, the chord progression is exactly the same and the switch from the one song to the other is immediate on the cd and of course the whole *******, seven stars connection. to me midday anonymous follows a deranged assassin a la Charles Whitman as he prepares to fulfil his destiny. this song hits right when the cops appear at the end of midday anonymous, perhaps the killers last dillusions before he is gunned down by the police, perhaps he's found his redemption and was right all along. who knows. |

| Jets to Brazil – The Frequency Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Throughout the album there's a pretty steady stream of references to the writing process. I've always really enjoyed two particular lines in this song: "And the city kids, the angry with-it kids, hate everything the first time" I always took that as a bit of an f-you to the snobby indie music scene either not being willing to admit enjoyment of something until other people validate it or perhaps just the constant refrain of "The album becomes enjoyable upon multiple listenings," as if something worth enjoying has to be difficult to take. I also love the line "The frequency is fine." I take that line as affirming the songwriters own concerns about his product, saying it doesn't matter what other people think, he's producing what he is meant to produce. |
