Building Steam with a Grain of Salt Lyrics
Producing
From listening to records i just knew what to do
I mainly taught myself
And, you know, i did pretty well
Except there were a few mistakes
But um, that i made, uh
That i've just recently cleared up
And i'd like to just continue to be able to express myself
As best as i can with this instrument
And i feel like i have a lot of work to do
Still, i'm a student - of the drums
And i'm also a teacher of the drums too
What makes cancer tenacious?
The moon rules the fluids
Including the inner juices of human beings
That which assimilates and feeds the body
So the crab feeds his astral plane
Assimilating and distributing all he receives
Slowly, until it becomes apart of you
I fly to the strangest lands
And i would like to able to continue
To let what is inside of me
Which is, which comes from all the music that i hear
I would like for that to come out
And it's like, it's not really me that's coming
The music's coming through me
The music's coming through me
I mainly taught myself
And, you know, i did pretty well
Except there were a few mistakes
But um, that i made, uh
That i've just recently cleared up
As best as i can with this instrument
And i feel like i have a lot of work to do
Still, i'm a student - of the drums
And i'm also a teacher of the drums too
Including the inner juices of human beings
That which assimilates and feeds the body
So the crab feeds his astral plane
Assimilating and distributing all he receives
Slowly, until it becomes apart of you
To let what is inside of me
Which is, which comes from all the music that i hear
I would like for that to come out
And it's like, it's not really me that's coming
The music's coming through me

I put this on at a club... got the biggest cheer of the night
I like the bass part, when I hear it I'm like "time to get funky!". that bass line is pretty funky
also I like the part when the girl is talking about how the moon rules fluids, during a full moon, it's been measured, that the chemical inside the brain and body fluxuate slightly producing subtle changes in personallity and behavior. this is where the term "lunatic" comes from. in Acient Greece it was beleived that the moonlight of a full moon could drive certain people insane.
How does he do it? All the parts existed, but along come DJ Shadow and puts them together in the right order to make it seem incredulous that they were ever recorded seperately.
This song is so great
amazing, especially that little scratch right before the cancer part
this song features on a Gundam Wing advert on Toonami.
Shadow is the man...period
When the piano comes back near the end of the song, but before the woman sings about flying through the strangest lands. That Bum Bum! part of the song. That is absolutely increadible. It feels like the entire song leads up to that one part. Abslolutely amazing song.
yeah ... i heard this on that gundam wing ad a long time ago on toonami...
weird how time goes by, you forget something, and then in a new place around new people your reminded of a song and have the urge to find it. didnt realize Shadow was behind this song ... didnt realize hes awesome till about 2 days ago.
Couldn't find the GW promo on http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/ anyone know where its at?
