Shell of Light

i love the last part, "god, can you please hurry up and find me/i wasn't sure if we could be friends.

awesome for posting up the lyrics! (y)

yeah the whole final third of the song is so good.

sample from the last part of the song is Whisper by Passion. amazing fuckin sample, i die when i hear that last minute or so

I hear (you can hear the hissing): Love you so Love you so...

Instead of:

Love you more Love you more...

sorry, Whisper by Ernie Halter i mean.

also though I hear "love osama, love osama" lol

really love, maybe love is someone? but i think the second lyric is, "now that you know"

I only recently discovered Burial, and I'm a total addict now. It's really unlike anything I've ever heard before. Good stuff.

In any case, I was just gonna say that Whisper's lyrics go - "God, could you please whisper into her ear." "I wasn't sure if we could be friends."

• so, I think those are the lines that are sampled and used at the end of the song. I don't think there is anything in the original song that says "hurry up and find me," but I understand how it could be heard like that. Burial has an awesome knack for murking up vocal samples and giving them an entirely new soul, almost to the point of changing the words you hear. For example, in "Distant Lights", I was dead sure for a while that the words were "(they) never let me dream," and that the original vocals were male. Turns out, it's Destiny's Child! The real lyrics go "Now that I need you."

Anyway, cheers to Burial for making a stellar track like this one. Alright, I'll stop blabbing now :P
