This song has made me cry many times. It still does. I found it during a very low time in my life and the man speaking about how glad he is about being in the studio and keeping things nice hits me hard as a guy who loves his gear. During that time I wasn't really touching my gear. I was too busy panicking and losing sleep. I am a lot better now and this song is still just as powerful. Boards of Canada has so many emotional songs and I'm so happy to have been able to witness them in this life. If you are reading this. God bless you and don't give up.
avoidantconsumer3 thanks! Nice video by the way. Words can't describe my love for BoC. I live in hope they'll release new material in the coming years.
The guy singing in the video is Ralph Giese. He's known for being one of the best at whistling! He actually has a RU-vid channel on here under his name. Look him up, he's a bit older now as the clip of him in this video was shot in 1984 on the Kelly and Company talk show.
@@breachtones No, not at all. The voice at the start is almost certainly david bigham, from a presumably lost interview. David Koresh had little to no connection with Roy Orbison or any of the other artists mentioned in the starting clip. I don't know why people think that David Koresh is speaking at the start, this song was likely made before the Waco seige even happened.
I know this song for a long time now (before OBAMA became President) - I knew that B.O.C. always takes randomly anything , rather from 70's (or always?) - so I always wondered: "Is this OBAMA speaking?" ...the voice to me just appears so much like him. Now seeing the sinc finally is a little bit like a mystery beeing salved , to me :)
would you mind telling me what the video is and who that man is? i checked BOCpages and theres still no entry on this. is that the actual sample source?
It doesn’t, that’s the thing, it samples a commercial and an interview of someone who worked in a studio that was big back in the day (norman petty studio) the guy being David bigham
@@PaulBenjaminJenkins I don’t know but I’d guess a fast food commercial for somewhere semi-big in the 70-80s, somewhere treat sold chicken fingers (also known as strips)
