Flutes Of Chi Lyrics
That you'd like to be
Will come in three, my friend
The flutes of the chi
Will sound again, my friend
The fruits of the old
Are ripe to be told, my friend
How you've come to be
All this will end and begin again
That you'd like to be
Will come in three, my friend
The flutes of the chi
Will sound again, my friend
This song is like a George Harrison song (beatles). Eastern spiritual optimism and the general positive vibe...
Old old Ween tune. This song was available for a long time on the internet in Demo form before it finally made an appearance on an album. A good version to get is the Rutgers College Live Show they did back in 1994. I believe it can still be tracked down. For a long time this song was an unreleased fan fave. Thank goodness the boys finally put it out, unlike alot of their other really good stuff.
What an amazing song! I love it. White Pepper is such a good album, I hate that it's so often overlooked.
I think it's inspired by David Carradine's old Tai-Chi videos he used to hawk back in the 90's...
I'm still discovering all of Ween's hidden gems and this one qualifies for me. It's right next to Transdermal Celebration and Tried and True for me. It's so euphoric and positive.
I'd argue this is the most Beatle-esque song on White Pepper. Very reminiscent of Magical Mystery Tour/Yellow Submarine.
Mickey and I were renting a house in New Hope and I started learning about Feng Shiu. I hung 2 flutes on the ceiling for improved chi.
For some reason I think this song is about mental depression. Seeing that everything is going to repeat itself so there's no point in even trying in life...maybe im thinking way to hard on the subject..
