Superconnected

here's what happened last night:

he asked the audience how many had been in love. he said, raise your hands if you've been in love once. then he said, raise your hands if you've been in love more than once. raise your hands if you've been in love more than twice. raise your hands if you've been in love more than three times. raise your hands if you've never been in love.

then he said, this is a love song. we can help you if you've never been in love.

From the BSS Official Site:

does it come in cages, does it come in threes i'm tripping on all my time i'm tripping like i am seized. never the car ride and never the key always been failing minding my means and they wanna believe it and they wanna conceive theirs a difference in texture i know that about me and they want fuck this right between the knees get a little bit bloody what is that have to do with me but i really don't want to think about those things anymore really don't want to think about those things. i really don't want to think about those things anymore i die when i think about those things...... was it sectional babies, was it making believe they get you like creatures cocks they get you like creature creed. i've never been sailing not unless it's the sea a typical lazy eye a stare off for you and me and they want to connect it and they wanna concieve get it all connected with you and you and me and i love the body/darkness/forgiveness whoops what's happen to me i was talking about something i can't believe i really don't want to think about those things anymore i die when i think about those things if your superconnected...................... time to leave

Amazing song. My god... fucking glorious.

"This next song is about divorce. Watch out kids, it happens." Kevin Drew's intro to this song when played live at The Corner 28th Feb 2006 Melbourne, Australia. This certainly makes more sense when applied to BoxOfEpilepsy's lyrics, which I also hear.

An amazing song. Even more awe inspiring when you think about being superconnected with something that is falling apart/leaving.

and then, of course, he played "superconnected."

Rated 0 BEEN in love (dammit....ouw!) got it) i don't wanna think about those talismans, those totems, those triggers that open my heart chakra, anahata, and blow me wide open........4.5 years of massive love....then....you do the math....math entered his life as a 'creative remedy' and we fell, slowly, insidiously , to bits and pieces. when you ARE superconnected, it TRULY is like, time to evolve or disengage or ascend to your own 'bardot' (sp) it's spelled differently in so many bowie bewlay brothers parses....i don''t mean to condone or support suicide but somehow, probably painfully moving on somehow could be part of why he says when you're superconnected...it's time to leave.....

I suffer from being "superconnected" to a man that's gone... two tiny kittens... don't get what's goin' down... or maybe they do... and that's why i'm still alive... music makes all the difference... maybe i won't die...

'but i DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT THOSE THINGS ANYMORE (DAMMIT)

the echoed vocals and complete chaos of this song are completely awesome.

these lyrics are a bit off. here's a slightly closer transcription:

Does it come in cages Does it come in threes Trippin all over town Trippin like I’m seized Never the Car ride Never the key I’ve always been failing Minding my me And they wanna believe it And they wanna conceive There’s a difference in texture I know it about me

And they wanna love this Right between the knees Get a little bit bloody What does that have to do with me

(the “those things” part)

Was I searchin for maybe’s Was I makin believe Get you a preacher’s car Get you a preacher’s creed I’ve never been sailing Never messed with the sea How typical is that It’s there for you and me And they wanna connect it And they wanna conceive Get it all connected With you and you and me

Now I’ve no forgiveness Oops, what’s happened to me I was talking about something I can’t believe

(Those thing)

I really shoulda thought those things a little more And I didn’t think about those things

Is it superconnected Time to leave

I'm positive it's "And you wanna fuck us right between the knees". They sometimes say "love" in other versions though (ie: the kcrw sessions). I actually have rather different lyrics to this song, but I'm not positive they're all that accurate. Only bss knows, and they won't tell us. lol.

this song is fucking flawless.

this song leaves me in awe.
