_...and I was thinking how the world should have cried on the day Jack Kirby died..._ Best track off _God Says No_ which by the way is a great fucking album.
It's 2024 and I'm listening to this remembering when I first got the cd back when it came out. I've always wanted to see them live and I hear they are touring this year but overseas. Bummer. They haven't toured in years. Gosh Dave is 67 now!! Unbelievable!!
Hell yes- best with headphones trippin chillin at home, best live outrageous transcendent energy!! Fucking love them- and also, I was reading the John Carter on Mars books, I could hear their cosmic soundtrack snaking through the words. So underrated as a mind blowing
First heard this on Spotify, listened to it a dozen times. I thought "This would be so good live." Seems like I was right. This is a near perfect rock song.
Wakin' up, I watch another sun go down Another day spent underground In my world of pills And I was thinkin' how the world should have cried On the day Jack Kirby died I wonder if I'm ill I'll never trust myself again But I don't care Just set that plastic soul on fire And watch it melt Life is good, a rocket sled utopia A self imposed myopia You gotta love this pace Life is fast, a million winners everyday You tell me, is this work or play I'm never really sure I'll never trust myself again But I don't care Well just set that plastic soul on fire And watch it melt Well I'm alive, now you watch me go A tickle inside my brain Where it comes from I don't know But I'm laughin' in the flames It's just the look in your eyes I feel like I can fly And then sometimes I dig it so much, I could die I'll never make no mortal place 'Cause I don't care Just set that plastic world on fire And watch it melt Well I'm alive, now you watch me go A tickle inside my brain Where it comes from I don't know But I'm laughin' in the flames It's just the look in your eyes I feel like I can fly And then sometimes I dig it so much, I could die
First time i heard this song was when it came out on a crusty demons video when song was released, was an awesome edit with this song. Been blasting it ever since
@Chris Proost - amen, brother I've wept at the tragedy some of my favorites suffer in live performances. This is not one of them. Vocals and sound quality are excellent. So many good tunes from these guys, a shame Space Lord is the only one that seemed to get attention in the states. (please correct me if I'm wrong on this point)
