a little friday night music...
Amazing! Do people really still make music like this? The Mars Volta are incredible. This reminds of the glory days of Genesis and Rush when you just had to read the lyrics while you listened to the song. Here [beware it's nearly 13 minutes long and weighs in at more than 12Mbs] is the third track from the five, multi-part, track album Frances the Mute and here are the lyrics to one of the most interesting songs. Before you ask, I have no idea what the Spanish stuff is about. In fact, I'm struggling to make sense of any of the lyrics. It's apparently based on a found diary left behind by someone who killed themselves. Great stuff. Listen to it all and LISTEN TO IT LOUD.
L'Via L'Viaquez
L’ Via
Hija de Miranda
Tu Apellido se cambió
L’ Via
Sin Ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Solo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Solo se quedo el vestido
Le lave la sangre
L’ Via
No dejes de descansar
En la calle caminas
Quien te va a perseguir
L’ Via
Te quieren matar
Dientes de Machete
Cabezas de gallo
L’ Via
Durmiendo en paz
Abre los ojos
Todo cambiará
L’ Via
Soñado de venganza
Y yo te lo juro
Lo van a pagar
Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with everybody that I find
And with every clamor that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for
L ‘ Via
Hija de Miranda
Tu apellido se cambió
L’ Via
Sin ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Solo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Solo se quedo el vestido
Le lave la sangre
Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with everybody that I find
And with every clamor that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for
Solo tengo
Una hora
Y me duermo
Terminado
Por veinte y cinco
Años pasaron
Siguen los cuerpos
Aqui temblando
Tome la sangre
Comi el cuerpo
Mis lagrimas
Quiebra el espejo
When all the worms come
Crawlin out of your head
Telling you
Don’t you be afraid
When all the worms come
Crawlin out of your head
Telling you
Don’t you be afraid
Blackmailed she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
Shark kites got tangled in the moleskin
Urgent plea of escape
A mouth to mouth on the chalkboard
Written in fingernail distaste
And with everybody that I find
And with every clamor that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for
Blackmailed she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with everybody that I find
And with every clamor that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for

The lyrica re as bad as my post title 'poetry' and it doesn't sound that good either. Ha! put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Well, I must say. At first I thought this song was just incredibly weird. But I've listened to it ten times now (not a gross exaggeration). The music, though seemingly random and...odd, is strangely melodic and really does sound good. I dunno, this song has really grown on me and become one of my favorites. It's bitchin'.

Here's a translation of the "Spanish stuff":
Elvia,
daughter of Miranda,
your last name changed
Elvia,
without eyes you want
to give me a story without my mother
I only have to tell you
The pain of night says
All that was left was the dress
I cleaned the blood
Elvia,
you don't stop resting
In the street you walk
Who will persecute you?
Elvia,
they want to murder you
Teeth of machete
Heads of roosters
Elvia,
sleeping in peace,
open your eyes,
everything's changed
Elvia,
dreaming of vengence,
I swear to you,
they're going to pay
I only have
1 hour
and I fall asleep
finished
for 25
years passed
the bodies are still
here trembling
I drank the blood
I ate the body
My tears
break the mirror
