I think one of the interesting and energizing things about this song is that it begins by bursting into the chorus at full steam ahead without pittering around something else first.
Daniel Cropp I’m not, I actually am not a very good writer, ha. But I occasionally can identify why a song evokes something for me. Glad it resonated with some others.
its a scary thought, but it's also kind of wonderful. a butterfly flaps its wings and it starts to rain. all these little parts of the machine constantly working, making sure you end up exactly where youre supposed to be there. the right place, at the right time.
I was married to someone I thought was the love of my life, and she left me within weeks of finding out I have cancer. Sometimes being at the right place isn't the thing you want.
I had sort of the opposite reaction to others in the comments. I'm a huge GBV fan and was incredibly and pleasantly surprised to hear this song on How I Met Your Mother. It's a fantastic song and I'm glad it's been exposed to the rest of the world.
Hey, glad girls only want to get you high And they're alright There will be no coronation There will be no flowers flowing In the light that passes though me Hey, glad girls only want to get you high And they're alright There will be no graduation There will be no trumpets blowing In the light that passes through me With the sinking of the sun I've come to greet you Clean your hands and go to sleep Confess the dreams Of good and bad men all around Some are lost And some have found The light that passes though me
How I Met Your Mother Season 4 Episode 22 "Right Place,Right Time" Don't forget kids,things that you think little and tiny can cause big results. Thanks HIMYM :)
Some bands are just too good to achieve mainstream success. There's just no way that the general public can get their heads around something so brilliant as GBV.
ThinLynottFan It took my girlfriend a few tries to get into them. The have a gigantic pool of material to sort through but yeah, not everyone's cup of tea.
This song is a timeless 3 1/2 minute rock opera & the finest kaleidoscope. Blow me away, never saw the video until this morning, what a work of art just like the music, the vocals & the lyrics ! 🍻🌟🍻👍🍻🌈🍻💖🍻🔥🍻💣🍻🎉🍻💥🍻✨
GBV and Robert Pollard brought me here...forget TV show that brought you here..listen to his entire catalog, the man is a pure rock god and best writer
the greatest moments in your life wont necessarily be the things you do, theyll also be the things that happen to you. now im not saying you can't take action to affect the outcome of your life, you have to take action, and you will. but never forget that on any day you can step out the front door and your whole life can change forever. you see, the universe has a plan kids, and that plan is always in motion.
saw them on this tour at The Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon . The dancefloor is on springs. I got Five Feet of Air during the show. There was literally 3 feet deep snow drifts of plastic beer cups at the end of the night.
Like everybody, good music taste got me here. I heard it on How I Met Your Mother, but to pursue it is a result of good music taste. So stfu with the "I came here from good taste not a Tv show", because it doesn't matter where we heard it. It matters if we LIKE it! It doesn't matter how we get introduced to something great, it just matters that it happened.
Never seen How I Met Your Mother, but I love Guided By Voices/Boston Spaceships. For what it's worth, I mostly got into them because of The IT Crowd, so yeah, one form of media can lead you to another. I don't really care, but I think what some people are upset about is all the posting of that show's name when we are on the video for an amazing song. I think the sentiment is that the focus should be the music, which is beautiful.
All these little parts of the machine... constantly working making sure that you end up exactly where you're supposed be, exactly when you're supposed be there. The right place at right time
I always thought this song was a tribute to The Who (I understand, Cheap Trick as well). Hear the Pete Townsend influence? And the background vocals in the bridge, "Whoo ooh ooh"!
I've been thinking about a story for these lyrics for like a year now. The best thing I've come up with is the person who is the focus of this song is a serial killer, we're hearing his internal monologue and his narrating to the girl he's murdering all the things she's going to miss out on, and his reasoning why. "Clean your hands and go to sleep confess the dreams of good and bad men..." sounds like part of his ritual. This says more about me than the lyrics. I probably watched too much Dexter.
