♪unplugged♪

More snagged from afterxbirth :

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. (House rule: Skip instrumentals.)
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and song title correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google is cheating!

See, no matter how many times I listen to "She's a Handsome Woman" and read people discuss it, I can't get over the way it's written. And Brendon does a really nice job of mushing it all together but I will just always think it's a song about/with the scraped album stories/bits.
Which doesn't take away from the progress of the song itself, Innocence to Bombed reverie, because from what Ryan Ross said that album was supposed to be a musical - with a start, a middle and an ending - anyway. But he couldn't finish it.

He also said he didn't wanna make an album about becoming famous and being disillusioned by it, but instead of being swayed by that, I'm taking it as "When I got pass the middle I realized the ending is not true and we made this new totally positive album 'cause you didn't beat us down with your bullshit."

Innocence. Sunk the glow and drowned in covers, send for all your absent lover's things.
Sheepish Wolves. Looking lived in eating buttons, Wink, just don't put your teeth on me.
Accidents. Let the evening in the backdoor, filled the room ceiling to the floor.
Beat backbones. Grazed the poem and made it strange, I wasn't born to be a skeleton.
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera. Go on, film the world before it happens.
Jealous orchard. The sky is falling off the ceiling while I'm tucking fibs into a cookie jar.
Bombed reverie. It's useless searching in the cupboard when everything you have is on your back.

Not that I need to but I'll rant explain anyway.

...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)
