In Particular Lyrics
I heard music,
Felt unsure and catastrophic,
Had to tell myself it's only music,
It blows my mind,
But it's like that.
What could you tell me ?
Afraid of what ?
Would you ever know ?
Everyone else is really boring,
Anyone else wouldn't be good enough.
Someone new would be so cruel,
Incurable paranoiac,
Hysterical depression.
Alex I'm your only friend.
x xx
Alex your love will sing for you.
Love the song...
Coincidently, I was completely infatuated with a woman named "Alex" when I heard this song for the first time.
I was over at a friend's house and he told me to listen to this band called "Blonde Redhead" and he thought that maybe I'll like it because it's "different". So the first song he played for me was "In Particular" and as soon as I heard the initial beats, I immediately loved the song. Then the chorus came and I thought: 'Oh my God, is she saying 'Alex'??' and then BAM .. best song ever .. fit so perfectly with what I was feeling, it was insane.
I also recently saw Blonde Redhead live in concert for the first time, and they played In Particular.. it was so very amazing. can't wait to see them live again
Does anybody want the French verision lyrics??
En Particulier:
Je suis sur le dos J'écoute la musique Sans confiance et catastrophique J'ai dû me dire c'est juste de la musique Ca m'épate Mais c'est comme ça
Y'a quelqu'un? Peux-tu me répondre? Peur de quoi? Jamais tu ne sauras Tout le monde est vraiment très chiant Personne ne sera jamais assez bon
Un endroit sûr, je peux imaginer Un nouveau type serait trop cruel Incurable paranoiac Hystérique dépression
x xx Alex I'm your only friend.
x xx Alex your love will sing for you.
LeadMeOn- shakes head It must be some kind of universal thing. And is it just me, or are most Blonde Redhead songs about being unrequited? Or, to be more specific, being completely in the dark about whether you're requited or not? Might just be me and my circumstance, but I could swear that every one of their songs has those kind of connotations...
This song is sick! I really wish Blonde Redhead would tour in my area. No good bands ever come to Mass.
"And is it just me, or are most Blonde Redhead songs about being unrequited? Or, to be more specific, being completely in the dark about whether you're requited or not?"
Agreed. And that is what makes them all rather perfect.
ok when i saw them live the first time, she was wearing a really small dress and she DROPPED her PICK.....the security guy had to come pick it up for her so it disruped the song a little bit :( but since then it was great live.
The lyrics are a reference to "A Clockwork Orange" which has a main character, Alex, who has a love for classical music, which turns to euphoria when he listens to it.
gobby89, how do you know?
If you've read (or watched) ACO then it's pretty obvious I think.
