Red Mosquito

this song is fucking TRIUMPHANT.

But...but those lyrics...

I haven't looked that closely yet, and yes they are a bit tree huggery, but there's some nice imagery in there, especially in the chorus, bridge, and outro. And the swallowed whole metaphor is a good one.

I think that because the lyrics borrow so heavily from panentheism / paganism, they're going to sound neo-religious and off-putting to some. But I quite like the irony in the fact that they sound so HAPPY but really aren't.

yes - good catch on the pagan shit.

Diggin Mike's solo. Nothing crazy, but fits the song well. The tone is tops, too. Bights and pinches without being abrasive.

I like this song a lot. Again, don't care about the lyrics.

The down down down has melted into the background for me now. This is a quality song.

Maybe you'd care about lyrics if you were actually a good writer which you are not

If I lived with three girls, this would be one of my tamer posts. I'm here for you, stip.

Do bullies ever apologize?

Usually 10 or 15 years after the bullying takes place.

I'll be waiting, Stip.

Start the clock, and pick a place.

And would you like flowers, a bottle of wine, or message board apology sex?

Oh okay fine, so I'm the only one who's life is so terrible he can't relate to these hippy dippy bullshit lyrics.

These lyrics would be perfectly fitting to your terrible life, BurtReynolds.

This may grow on me because im had entered a hippie state the past couple years and I foresee that to grow exponentially.

namaste, mother fuckers.

I don't know if it's just the seduction of the jingle-jangle REM vibe, but this is up there with MFS and Pendulum for me
