| Steely Dan – Peg Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I can listen to both all day--and I just did. . . really. This has to be one of the tightest songs around -- everything is perfect. Every instrument, note, etc. I cant wait til I can plug wires into my head and bypass my chumpy earphones so I can hear it as crisp as it can be. You heard that Fagen was going to kick the bassist cause he kept slapping it. Finally he did a take without slapping and Fagen calmed down. Then when the did this one he snuck in a couple but the everything else was so tight Fagen let it slide. They say Fagen didn't notice but he's so neurotic theres no way he missed it. | |
| David Bowie – Loving the Alien Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Yeah know. What's amazing is I've been listening to, and loving, this song for over 20 years and I can't say I've spent more than 30 minutes trying to figure it out. Reading these lyrics now I cant help but see the dichotomy of the two major faiths. But, you can't back away from the idea that either God is the Alien. The unknown thing that we all must rationally and irrationally say exists. And our belief in that thing can move us to "rip the sky in two." I take that to mean that when we decide exactly what that unknown is we separate ourselves from others, come into conflict with them because of our distinction, and blow them up with a-bombs. His extension from the Templers/Saracins to the mid-east takes me from the "simple" conflicts of the past (arrows/swords) to our capacity for conflict now (nukes 80's, cyber/biological now). But then I remember that this album was very romantic, very fun--it was the 80's. And I stop thinking about what it means. I enjoy the imagery, the passion in his voice, the swoonie rhythms and I imagine I'm in Brazil loving the beautiful alien that can dance in the streets, near naked, without self-doubt as if she's ripping the sky in two. |
