Sleepytime Gorilla Museum – The Salt Crown Lyrics 16 years ago
i believe this song is an homage to Nyls' brother Per in the respect of aging after death. When a Stone progresses (or ages) it grows an anionic polymerization of oxiranes and cyclic siloxanes initiated with Potassium Salt-Crowns, from what i gather it's kind of like the same way you can tell how old a Tree is by counting it's rings. Per Committed suicide a while back (i think 2000 or 2001)and they actually still use some of his artwork, to this day, i love the line

"keep watch with the faces that you made with your hands"

you can really tell that this song is one of the more emotionally driven tracks on the album, which is really saying something cause this CD is the most emotional CD they have put out in their ever extending catalog.

keep up the good work.
