"News, beliefs, religion"

"And it's apparently as hard to get into prison as it is to get out"

I wasn't there when God created the Earth
I wasn't there when Jesus got buried
I wasn't there when Santa climbed down the chimney
I wasn't there when The Eagle landed
"Don't be fooled"

Everything's flying by me
Everything's flying by me
Everywhere, everywhere
Every sign
Everything
Everywhere, everywhere

I wasn't there when JFK got shot
I wasn't there when MLK got shot

I wasn't there for the ? back in '76
I wasn't there for the for the acid test

Everything's flying by me
Everything's flying by me
Everything, everywhere
Everything's flying by me
Everything's flying by me
Everything, everything

I wasn't there in the hanging gardens of Babylon
I was there when the wall came down

I wasn't there at the Jonestown massacre
I wasn't there when the towers collapsed
The levee broke, the camel got a hump
And the people where I live got a visit from the Pope

This is fine by me
This is fine by me
This is fine by me
This is fine by me...

"The most important thing to realize is that they are all one and the same"

"Hellfire and brimstone"

It is flying by me
It is flying by me
Everything, everything
Every sign
It is flying by me
Everything, everything
Everywhere, everywhere...

"And you will understand perfectly how they have been able to infiltrate all of our society"

JFK, BFA, ?, MPLA, ?, JFK

This is fine by me
This is fine by me
This is fine by me
This is fine by me

This is fine by me
This is fine by me
This is fine by me
This is fine by...

Everythings' fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine...

"And I could go on and on and on and on. That song will have a clearer meaning to you as we progress in your education into the mystery religion."

    feel free to let me know if you have any corrections and I'll add them in! I'm not even sure if he's saying "fine by me" but that's what I heard listening to this.

    I was playing pixeljunk shooter and wasnt really listening to the music, but as soon as I registered the "I wasn't there for the Jonestown massacre... this is fine by me..." I realized the soundtrack was worth paying attention to :P

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
