| Frank Black – White Noise Maker Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Have you ever heard voices? Not just in your head but people on the street.. talking about you; sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle. Ever wonder if they can read your mind? If they can, then why not deafen them? This song, in my opinion, is about a defense mechanism. "Like harvest moon o'er my head... That Billboard prose shines on me... It's been so long since my Telstar" Harvest moons are bright, orange, and sometimes associated with occult/strange happenings. Perhaps FB is feeling a bit tormented; his demons or angels are bothering him because it's been so long since his first and or last big hit. Just my interpretation. |

| Frank Black – Men In Black Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Indeed. Charles' lyrics have been riddled with riddles, clever wordplay and mythology since he first started writing. This song is one of his more straightforward. Because of the lame Hollywood movie Men in Black, a lot of people have never been interested in the true mythology. Men In Black were first written about by Gray Barker in "They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers" (1956) and a little later by John Keel in several of his books like "UFO's: Operation Trojan Horse" (1970) and "The Mothman Prophecies" (1975). Charles had likely read some of this old classic UFO lore (which is much more interesting than the aforementioned retarded Hollywood film). I highly recommend the latter two books. | |
