Walrus

This song is awesome. UL is a damn good band. This song is a collage of beatles songs which is pretty cool. The song meaning is somed up by 'Everything gets old, everyone is dumb' so so true! This album should be great, Music From High Places is going to be tough to follow. I can't believe allmusic.com only gace that album 2 and half stars! I mean outdoors acoustic getting that good of a sound (they problem have taylor guitars and stuff but still)!! Anyway, definitely looking forward to hear the new album!

music from high places got shitted on by ppl it seems. i dont think people got it. its brillliant acoustic set, love it

This is written from the perspective of a cynical person. I believe we are supposed to take this person to be wrong about "everything" and "everyone" in the sense that logically it is impossible for these absolutes to exist. But, I think the person represents a large segment of the youthful population and how they see the world. In a world where tragedy is apparent, and knowledge is deep, it is easy to become disillusioned and feel isolated. As a cynical person, the person is aware of the aspects of culture he adopts from certain groups, and then he rejects them when he sees others acting the same way because he realizes it is all a charade. He wants to "keep changing" to prove he isn't vulnerable to the attacks on his independence made by his society's norms and views on culture. This might be far too deep an idea for just some rock band (I don't know whether or not the band is intelligent), but the ending lines emphasize everyone gets old and everyone is dumb, which would include the speaker. The irony is thus that while speaker is aware of the flaws of everyone, he spends all his time trying to avoid these flaws, when the flaws will inevitably touch him assuming they haven't already because by isolating himself he learns nothing and simply will become old and dumb.

Has anyone else listened to the secret track? it starts at 7 minutes.

oh yeah, this is my fav song off of heres to the mourning

OnlyHeren4DICK has it all wrong!!! He is among those of which are in fact gay. If you don't think a majority of the population (American population that is) is gay, tool bags, or absolutely freaking stupid then you don't get this song. On the other hand, it is SOOOOOO Beatles!

this is a really good song, but I really love the secret track, I'm pritty sure it's called machine. it starts at 7 minuets as TBOSM wrote

Music in high places is hard to follow not to many bands can pull off acoustic like UL and this is a good follow up to MiHP.

i love this song... good to listen to at night... nice simple guitars and simple meaning. the chorus says it all people... its a simple song, with a simple meaning, but its a good song period.

oooo... and beatles my ass!
