Throwin' Shapes Lyrics

no, Stupendous Man, the last verse is correct the way it is.

and i kind of think that this song is about how an ex-girlfriend is taken to the beach by a new dude who is trying to woo her and being poetic about taking her to the beach while its raining. and i think the very last verse backs up this claim.

i think the guy refers to "her" as the storm, "Would you go in? She'd have us soaked wet."

but to the girl, the storm reminds her of his touch. "Her fingers touching bare skin, makes you miss him."

that's my take on this song. guy trying to impress a girl only reminds her of "his" touch.

i can't see how any Minus the Bear fans dislike this album. or Menos El Oso for that matter. i have all their songs and i can listen to all them through and through and not be sick of it by any means. this band is seriously amazing.

i know this next comment may get some negative feedback, but i like to think sometimes (especially after listening to Planet of Ice) that Minus the Bear is a modern Pink Floyd. seriously, listen to Lotus and tell me that it doesn't sound like a take on some Pink Floyd, it's absolutely amazing and these guys are geniuses and absolutely amazing musicians.

I felt the same way when hearing "Lotus" for the first time. Very Floyd-ish.

WORD! you took the words out of my mouth in many a sense.
