Hands down ? I love your emotions for this album. It's been in my cd player for many days/nights straight. It's so trippy and hypnotic.. I've had this debate with myself countless times. Name a band with more killer albums. They only had 1 clunker, Villians. At the end of the day, IMO the 1st one is still atop the mountain. Regular John, Mexicola.... Now, here's the real debate: Lullabies or Rated R ? I've gone back and forth so many times. I love them both. I really can't decide. So, those are my top 3. And then I put Like Clockwork in 4th. And I love it so. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Makes me think of my 1st love of 30 years ago that I still think of everyday and is married now. And, dare I say Songs for the Deaf in 5th place ? Yup, I said it. And I love that one too. Anyway, it's a great debate. And that's how I rank my top 5 QOTSA albums
@@meatazzsandwich dude, I thought the same thing about Villians when it came out. I didn’t even bother buying it till late last year, just for “The way you used to do”. A couple of months ago on a whim, I put it on in my workshop just on a repeat while I built a bass guitar. By the time I finished that bass I gotta say, Villians might just be some of their finest work! Is it different? Absolutely, but it’s a fantastic album.
Come on man. One of the best songs musically and lyrically of the 21st century??? Look, it's a pleasant song, but I think your inner fan boy has just purged himself into the margins of vision.
Josh is such a great fucking singer...so underrated.The most personal and sentimental Queens album to date...a fucking masterpiece, sometimes my favorite of the band, I saw them on this tour, unforgettable...Real music, for real people.
I'm so heartbroken right now.....this song makes complete sense cause I've never been so heartbroken and so in love at the same time in my life. And this song makes uncertainty make sense
Its incredibly healing music. I played the album alot when a close friend of mine died. I would weep while driving in the car. Josh homme just gets it. His music is deep to the core.
Everyone it seems Has somewhere to go And the faster the world spins The shorter the lights will glow And I'm swimming in the night Chasing down the moon The deeper in the water The more I long for you Most of what you see my dear is purely for show Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know Holding on too long is just a fear of letting go Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know One thing that is clear it's all down hill from here My love in your hand cleverly disguised All the promises of stone, crumble in the light Most of what you see my dear Is worth letting go Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know Holding on too long is just A fear of want to show Because not everything that goes around, comes back around you know Not everything that goes around, comes back around you know One thing that is clear It's all down hill from here
I saw them do this live last night. A definate goosebumps moment. They are such amazing musicians and Josh is one hell of a talented guy. I bloody love him.
Its hard to put to words what art means. You have to see it. Its like a dual reality, virtual in essence. To me, its as simple as the sea. As hard as the harshest hardship. Eternal in my mind. Eternal as the abyss in the sea. Art is deep, its etched through time, as a man. As only I can. I must say, this song is deep as any thing abysmal and artisanal I have ever seen. And to me, its rings of a song, the way it should be. Full of emotion full of the sea, that I see. Something you can only imagine with the right touch. Something called our time. And time is of the essence, before you know it, you evanescence... And that is what clockwork truly means, to the right eye, and even better when it comes from the right arm. ;)
I feel in love with this song and this album around the same time I fell in love with this person, and we broke up recently and this songs; Kalopsia, I Appear Missing, Like Clockwork, they might not exactly talk about what I feel or what happened, but the feeling they convey to me it´s just, so beautiful and sad simultaneously
The guitar player is playing a green Burns 12 string...I had one too until my ex-wife smashed it up with a hammer and left it in the front yard...I found it when I got back from a gig at 6 am...bizarre...
Lol nothing like Pink Floyd or Led Zepplin. If you have to compare QOTSA to another form of music, compare it to Polka. Josh Homme grew up playing Polka and you can hear it in his music.
