Well I like it, that\'s why I posted the rather empty lyrics page for it. The guitar part is so relaxing but then the track drifts off into a sort of Twilight Zone. Then there\'s that one sudden piano key, it almost announces your departure from the world you knew, showing you into a new, much stranger reality. The guitar part comes back trying to break through a wall of sound. It\'s a tough track to get into but there\'s plenty about it to love. I\'d like to figure out what all the samples are saying. Probably the only one I can fully decipher is what sounds like a little boy saying \"A rough time, a real rough time\". I am absolutely certain this is a sample from Roger & Me, the first film by Michael Moore. There\'s a scene where a guy is getting evicted from his house and a neighborhood boy says this quote exactly, in the same pitch, with the same accent to it. Points to the Appleseed Cast for making this song before the Michael Moore rennaissance spurred by Bowling for Columbine even happened. Plus they would have had to sample from a VHS copy or some other format, as it wasn\'t on DVD until a couple years after Low Level Owl was made. Now to the headphones...
i really like this song, i feel like no one else does.
I loved this the first time I heard it :p Always will.
@SpooktheHerd is absolutely right that the vocals are sampled from "Roger & Me." Thank you very much for sharing that! In fact, it's just one, uninterrupted clip from roughly the 1:08:11 mark, beginning with "Where should I go?" and ending with "I got kicked out of my house once." Additionally, the phrase "Got tired of the system" can be heard repeatedly in the latter half of the song.
