Music for exceptionals! I love this band! Haven't got much left to say... people who know them will probably know what i'm talking about!

Edit: Also check out the band "Explosions in the sky" if you like GY!BE , it are some sort of less complex and more to the face GY!BE like songs.

Yeah they're really good listening music, loads of stuff going on to place your attention on, plus it's full of lovely rich emotion. I find them very much like classical music in a way. Check out Mahler's 9th & 5th symphonies. Anyone with a heart for tragedy and a head for interweaving melody should enjoy those.

Heh.

 

I was listening to Yanqui U.X.O when I found this topic.

 

Small world indeed

 

Love this band, haunting and beautiful music. Like a soundtrack to some film that never was:) Have you listened to their side projects, 1 speed bike and A silver mt.zion memorial orchestra?

There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind

It's not state of the art, it's a serious state of the mind

The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite

A menace to society, a social disease

To brainwash the mind is a social disorder

The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order

Watching beginnings of social decay

Gloating and sneering at life's disarray

Eating away at your own self esteem

Pouncing on every word that you might be saying

To attack someone's mind is a social disorder

The constitution, the government, martial law order

Superficially smiling a shake of the hand

As soon as your back is turned treason is planned

When every good thing's laid to rest

By the governments hate, by the constitution and their lies

And every time you think you're safe

And when you go to turn away

You know they're sharpening all their knives

All in your mind

All in your head

Try to relate it

All in your mind

All in your head

Try to escape it

Without a conscience they destroy

And that's a thing that they enjoy

They're a sickness that's in all of our minds

They want to sink the ship and leave

The way they laugh at you and me

You know it happens all the time

But it only happens in your mind

The rats in the cellar you know who you are...

Or do you?

Watching beginnings of social decay...
