This song is one of my favorite ever, it is very close to my heart. It has very a deep meaning to people who know a real-life "Architect", the rare and strange kind of person this song talks about. People who are capable of great things, but don't always achieve their potential, who think alone a lot, but also put themselves and their interests aside for the sake of others. Being an Architect is having the gift of a uniquely complex yet human thinking, but it is also always feeling like you must use this gift, for good.
As an expat living in 'hartje Vlaanderen' I don't often have good things to say about Belgium, but my God you have some phenomenal musicians. And Deus is just one of them!
I didn't know Admiral Freebee was Belgian, but I have been listening to his songs for a couple of years now, so it's a pleasant surprise :)@@heftyordinanceindividual4015
[Intro: Richard Buckminster Fuller] Ah, nevermind that space stuff, let’s get down to earth! [Verse 1: Mauro Pawlowski & Tom Barman] What is the architect doing? He is by the riverside What is he thinking out there? He is committing egocide Now isn't that a strange thing? Well to him it feels just Well, we guess a person's gotta do What a person feels he must [Chorus: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller] He said: I won't throw myself from the pier I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year And when the year is over I'll reappear And have a solution I've reason to believe that what I find Is gonna change the face of humankind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion 'Cause I'm the architect (I think it’s touch and go) 'Cause I'm the architect (I think it’s touch and go) 'Cause I'm the architect [Verse 2: Mauro Pawlowski & Tom Barman] Now the man has understood That outer space is overrated and too About all the problems on this earth we should Worry now to solve them later And so he's brooding and alluding on a perfect design He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime He flushes out by the water, a view so divine He's the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime [Chorus: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller] He said: I won't throw myself from the pier I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year And when the year is over I'll reappear And have a solution I've reason to believe that what I find Is gonna change the face of humankind And all these years before well I was blind That's my conclusion 'Cause I'm the architect (I think it’s touch and go) 'Cause I'm the architect (I think it’s touch and go) 'Cause I'm the architect [Bridge: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller] I think it’s touch and go, and I think we’re going to make it Don’t let up Don’t let up, or we won‘t make it Don’t let up Don’t let up, or we won‘t make it And so he drew himself a pentagon Thinking it through a geodesic dome From the coast of Tahiti, to the hills of Rome Step aside, ‘cause the man will take the Nobel prize home [Chorus: dEUS & Richard Buckminster Fuller] He said: I won't throw myself from the pier I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year And when the year is over I'll reappear And have a solution Now, if these aspirations bother you Well you are just you, you don't have a clue I'm sticking to the plan; I will see it through Let there be no confusion 'Cause I'm the architect (I think it’s touch and go) 'Cause I'm the architect (I think it’s touch and go) 'Cause I'm the architect
Humanity, is more than ego, creativiteit, begint, altijd bij jezelf zeggen ze! Als iedereen je kapot gemaakt ge heeft, dan is er nog altijd hoop, goeie voorbeelden! Sam LOUYWIJK, moet een Nobelprijs winnen!
The lyrics are hysterically genius.I'll soon get arrhythmia because my heart will try to match the rhythm of the song. That's how great of a song this is.
they've got to be the nicest band ever. mauro and Klaas bought us drinks and the whole band was around the town chatting with everyone, oh and yes they're also great live.
On powiedział: Nie rzucę się z pomostu Wrócę do domu i zamknę się na rok A kiedy minie rok znowu się pojawię I będę miał rozwiązanie Mam powody by myśleć że to co odkryję Zmieni oblicze ludzkości A przez wszystkie lata do tej pory byłem ślepy To moja konkluzja Bo jestem architektem
Cause Im the architect (I feel it's touch and go) Cause Im the architect (I feel it's touch and go) Cause Im the architect (I feel it's touch and go) (Thats it, were going to make it) (Dont let up) (Dont let up or we wont make it) (Dont let up) (Dont let up or we wont make it) And so he drew himself a pentagon Thinking it through a geodesic dome From the coast of Tahiti to the hills of Rome Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home
i saw them live last night (a perfect day festival, opening for sigur ros) and believe me when i say that they were amazing. tom was totally wasted and we like him that way.
