My playlist arranged itself so that Behind the Sea (in its many versions) now plays approximately every 4 songs. Usually, though not always, followed by Do You Know What I'm Seeing. Um... Thank you, Laptop? *gives cookies and does not call for an exorcist*
A LOT of journals in this fandom are completely flocked, I don't get it.
I wanna make a .gif out of a youtube vid and youtube is being a wanker and not letting me rip its videos. I will fight it to the death!
I'm dangerous dammit!
ETA: Seagulls make ridiculous noises when mating.

It's kinda disturbing,
Apr. 29th, 2009 02:06 amhow I can't just listen to the whole album and take it all in but instead spend every week analyzing another song to the tiniest detail. I haven't done that since I was 15. Is it a decade thing? Will I do it again when I'm 35? I'm on "From a Mountain In the Middle of the Cabins" now if anyone is curious.

One. also 2 and 3.
Apr. 26th, 2009 02:38 pmThere's one incredible U2 lyrics site where the guy spent years looking for real meanings behind their songs, from interviews, documentaries, books, whatever, he did research and allowed people to post their opinions but read through them and only left the valuable//true ones.
And he pointed out some totally ridiculous ones too. Specifically, someone explained how "One" is a song about blowjobs ("Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth") ...
aaanywaaay, that's what I'm reminded of when I read stuff like this:
4TH & FREEMONT STREET
replace 4th=Fourth
FOURTH & FREEMONT STREET
replace Fourth=F
replace Freemont=F
replace Street=S
FFS
replace F=6 (6th letter of alphabet)
replace F=6 (6th letter of alphabet)
replace S=6 (first letter in six)
666
Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves upon entering

Panic meets Queen
Apr. 21st, 2009 09:11 pmMy friend made a "Mashup of P!ATD music and Queen video (for the song "You don't fool me")" for Lying is the Most Fun; with the video just slightly edited and not only does the overall mood/music fit, there are also some creepy accidental moments where the vid and music click together like whoa. Please to be checking out here.
zackdft: hotel is washing my one set of clothes.why dont they make man size bath robes . spencer just came by and i fear he may be scared for life.
*glee*

Ahh, we meet again Amazon... If I order the Live in Chicago DVD from America... I won't be able to view it on my DVD player without some crafty illegal cracking of regional codes...
If I order from Germany... it's somehow MORE expensive... and I can't figure out if it's one song less and no photos or if the listing is just random in the German one. And while the American version of the CD seems to have 18 songs... the German has 21?
Are you fucking with me, Amazon??

Been listening to the Open Happiness mp3 for days now, it's SO not the music I like but his voice makes me happy so why the hell not :) Not a good music to walk around with though, causes accidental ass swayage. :)
So, I figure if I'm gonna be in spam mode with one-liners I'm gonna Edit existing posts instead of adding more new ones... I think that would be healthier until the life I ordered on Amazon gets here and I stop the massive spamage.
Thus ETA:

Apr. 6th, 2009 06:07 pmWhat is UP with the camera-phobia, Spencer? Lack of your hi res closeups makes kittens cry. I'm just saying. Is it some sort of post traumatic thing that comes from spending too much time with Ryan? 'Cause I could maybe understand that.
Also:
Wut? \o/ Awesome :D

Behind the Sea
Mar. 30th, 2009 02:35 am...is possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard, lyrically.
I know it's also probably the least typical of his lyrics, 'cause if anything on the first album he observed the more gritty side of humanity, and the second one, though happier, is still more... observing? narrative? *headscratch* I dunno; while this song sounds like he's creating a fantasy world of his own. And for me, it's a beautiful world to escape to.
*keysmash of the silent nature* I was looking for stuff about this song because when I listen to it I never get a proper story, like I do with most of their other songs, just fantastic images, and this whole post was supposed to be about that with the omg beautiful pictures by Vladimir Kush and then, 'cause sometimes I'm Sam, I researched my ass off and found a vid of Ryan saying that's exactly what the song is supposed to do and now I'm a bubble of happiness! Yay.
Sometimes I feel uncomfortable talking about the meaning behind other people's art because it's so very subjective and I don't want to come of as either stupid of disrespectful... which is why it was very nice of Ryan Ross to explain this to the world! *happydance*
"That song is supposed to make you forget about everything real and it is basically just all imagery, the whole song. And the sounds around it, I wanted to sound just like the lyric did musically. It's one of those songs where you just kinda lay down and close your eyes and you listen to it as a little story or something. And, you know, somewhere behind the sea... it's kind of an unknown."
So... The first few times I listened to it I was stuck on Dali and possibly Bosh (Garden of Earthy delights specifically) but they are so heavy and dark and riddled with hidden meanings of their own it just felt like too much weight for this song. So I kept on looking for something lighter and a bit more open. And I found this guy. Vladimir Kush. He is a surrealist but he stays true to real life shapes and objects which makes it easier for me to connect and feel. (I could never understand how 3 black lines and 2 red ones represent the suffering of contemporary man in modern consciousness or whatever.)
This is, sort of, what Behind the Sea makes me see. (heh, bad rhyme accidental)

Spencer has twitter! Yay! *claps*
...And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain...
...Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got...
...In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim...
...One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss...
...I can't live
With or without you...
OMG U2 are EMO!
