Fun with music
So I'm listening to Broken Social Scene. Their songs have quite a distinctive quality to them. First of all, in many cases, you know they are singing, but you cannot understand what. Broken Social Scene does something that Led Zepplin was prone to do on occasion: entitle their songs with verbage that makes no appearance in the lyrics. * Well, there's the Lemon song, but we all know it really wasn't about Lemons. Or lemon juice.
*With the exception of "the".
So, consider this song:
Broken Social Scene
Now, this song has an infectious, mellow, yet upbeat sound to it. But in listening to it, you will not know what they are talking about. I live in mock fear of giving someone pure of heart and mind a ride in my car sometime, this song will come on, and he or she will ask, "Oh, this sounds nice, what is it?"
Perhaps this song is an obtuse homage to Spinal Tap and Nigel Tufnel's composition of "Lick my Love Pump".
Of course I could make up a song title, but what fun would that be?
*With the exception of "the".
So, consider this song:
Broken Social Scene
Handjobs for the Holidays Lyrics
Let me take you on, we'll get high just a little
Try to surface the calm, we don't come inside
Has it brought you closer to this?
Yeah, has it brought you closer to this?
And is it coming alive? Try to believe it
Was the question a point? I don't want your love
Has it brought you closer to this?
Yeah, has it brought you closer to this?
We've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see
We've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see
Let me take you on, we'll get high just a little
It kinda takes the joy away, we don't come at all
Try to surface the calm, we don't come inside
Has it brought you closer to this?
Yeah, has it brought you closer to this?
And is it coming alive? Try to believe it
Was the question a point? I don't want your love
Has it brought you closer to this?
Yeah, has it brought you closer to this?
We've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see
We've got eyes that leave us in places we don't see
Let me take you on, we'll get high just a little
It kinda takes the joy away, we don't come at all
