Small groove thing invades my veins
Soul deserts and leaves this chain
Here she's coming to me
Revolver excludes this community

Small groove thing take off my chains
Hoover will soften my pain
Here she's coming to you
Floating on a white caribou

Small groove thing invades my veins
Soul deserts and leaves this chain
Small groove thing take off my chains
Hoover will soften my pain

Here she's coming to me
Revolver excludes this community
Here she's coming to you
Floating on a white caribou

    hmm, no one seems to be posting on the songs from Stereophonic Sound Spectacular... which is a shame because I think it was Hooverphonic's best. Also a shame because I was hoping someone would know wtf the guy talking about "smokeys" was supposed to mean! I LOVE the synths at the very end of this song. So trippy in that awesome, oldskool, early-Autechre sort of way.

    I did a little research and it seems the guys are truck drivers talking on a citizen band (CB) radio. When the guy says "Breaker one niner..." he is initiating a new conversation on the CB. The smokies he's talking about refers to the police (also called bears), and when someone has their "ears on" it means they have their CB radio on. So when the guy asks if there are any "smokies with ears on" he's asking if there's a police officer listening in on the CB radio. Truckers originally started using CB radio in the 70s after the US government lowered interstate speed limits from 70 mph to 55 mph. Truckers, however, weren't happy with the reduction in trip time so they began using CB to find out where police traps were. Anyways, I don't really know how this contributes to the part of the song in which Liesje Sadonius is singing, but I've always wondered what they were talking about anyway.

@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
