I wonder what synth he's using to achieve this sound.

Could be a Mini-Moog.

A

smiley doesn't do this justice.

Out on a bicycle a reflection left behind
The desires of your daughters they will never be defined

Wild pedal wild energized by the stolen vodka and triple-sec
Wheels spurting up the flecks of mud on your blue jeans and your turtleneck

I’m out on a bicycle feeling god is on my side
My mother didn’t believe in discipline or the unconscious mind

Ooh when you finally realize our love is found between the waking and the dreaming
Ooh we fight one another in the afternoon we bathe we bathe each other in the evening

Pick up pickup your tiny arm and put it round put it round the shoulder of your mother
Pick up pickup your tiny arm and put it round put it round the shoulder of your mother

Somewhere between the road and the ever-darkening sky
Ooh the greediness of our hearts will not be satisfied
As it is said by the occupants who rally round the outer steps of parliament
So it is said confidentially by the men and women working in the government

Pick up pick up the bayonet and run it through run it through the stomach of your brother
Pick up pick up the bayonet and run it through run it through the stomach of your brother

Pick up pick up your bloody arm and put it round put it round the shoulder of your lover
Pick up pick up your bloody arm and put it round put it round the shoulder of your lover

Last track - → (2).

A proper, actual coda.

by Nightjar Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:55 pm

A final Wagnerian couple of notes.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:55 pm

It is over.

It felt very bland and went on for a very long time.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:55 pm

I will give it 3 stars.

by Nightjar Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:57 pm

That was way way better than I remembered.

An incredible, singular and fascinating work of art.

Owen Pallett is ultimately the superior of every one of the more celebrated and unit-shifting groups he assists and elevates.
