| Gorillaz – 5/4 Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
or because 5/4 is an actual time signature. the drums don't have to start on a downbeat (i.e. kick) at the start of each bar. it gives it a cool rhythm that throws one off at first, but after 2 bars of 5, the drums come back around, when they're playing on quarter notes. for example,
|• downbeat | upbeat •|
| kick snare kick snare kick | snare kick snare kick snare |
|• 1 2 3 4 5 | 1 2 3 4 5 •|
after which it repeats, and the snare again plays on the offbeat (as usual) |

| Opeth – Dirge For November Lyrics

this song, along with the entirety of Still Life really really helped the first time my heart got truly broken. not many bands have connected with me on such a personal level. for that reason i'll always fuckin' love opeth, even if/when they go off the deep end of masturbatory prog metal. |

okay, i don't know if anyone else has ever noticed this, but the intro to this song is almost EXACTLY like the opening song in Battletanx for N64. both in 5/4, very similar notes, exact same rhythm. give it a listen. i think karl sanders played some battletanx back in the day. |

| Between the Buried and Me – White Walls Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
no doubt they're talented as hell, but i still don't think they've matured that much. it's a lot of the same harmonizing in thirds and constant sweep picking (goddamn paul waggoner), then lots of chromatics and switching up time signatures by an eighth note or two for the heavy parts. sweep picking is impressive but generally lacks soul or emotion -- necrophagist, anyone?
that being said, i'll take BTBAM over anything on MTV, any day, ever. they're just a little overrated, is all. |

well, aside from poetic meaning, 'seven' also refers to the intro/main riff which is in 7/8. |

there's really only three reactions one can have to lyrics such as these: 1) shock and repulsion, 2) fits of laughter 3) arousal. i, for one, had #2. funny stuff, especially "prenatal fluids i adore." maybe it's the poetic and somewhat antiquated phrasing, but that's hilarious. necrophagist \m/ |

i love the part with the math references, "so I guess life is mean, and death is the median, and purgatory is the mode that we settle in." i wish more rap was intelligently written like this, and less concerned with consumerism. |

It seems to be from the viewpoint of a guy who had his heart broken by some girl, and despite all the pain the thought of her hurting later on as much as he is now brings him comfort. At least that's how I see it, since I can relate heavily. |
