| Burial – Shell of Light Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I only recently discovered Burial, and I'm a total addict now. It's really unlike anything I've ever heard before. Good stuff. In any case, I was just gonna say that Whisper's lyrics go - "God, could you please whisper into her ear." "I wasn't sure if we could be friends." - so, I think those are the lines that are sampled and used at the end of the song. I don't think there is anything in the original song that says "hurry up and find me," but I understand how it could be heard like that. Burial has an awesome knack for murking up vocal samples and giving them an entirely new soul, almost to the point of changing the words you hear. For example, in "Distant Lights", I was dead sure for a while that the words were "(they) never let me dream," and that the original vocals were male. Turns out, it's Destiny's Child! The real lyrics go "Now that I need you." Anyway, cheers to Burial for making a stellar track like this one. Alright, I'll stop blabbing now :P |
