MintSauce Posted January 26, 2009 Share Anyone here listen to A Perfect Circle....? Loving the 'Emotive' album at the moment. This track is one of my current favs....'Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums' Don't know if this is the official video, but if it is, it sure as hell is a fine piece of commentary on good old G.W.Bush.

[/quote']It's an interesting album, with the track you mentioned and only 1 other being original on the album. The rest are all covers by well know artists including John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin.... It's not bad, just "not my bag" Much prefer Mer de Noms, but even that is not heavy enough...

narra Posted January 26, 2009 Share The Distance by CakeReluctantly crouched at the starting lineEngines pumping and thumping in timeThe green light flashes; the flags go upChurning and burning, they yearn for the cupThey deftly maneuver and muscle for rankFuel burning fast on an empty tankReckless and wild, they pour through the turnsTheir prowess is potent and secretly sternAs they speed through the finish, the flags go downThe fans get up, and they get out of townThe arena is empty, except for one manStill driving and striving as fast as he canThe sun has gone down and the moon has come upAnd long ago somebody left with the cupBut he's driving and striving and hugging the turnsAnd thinking of someone for whom he still burnsHe's going the distanceHe's going for speedShe's all alone (All alone)All alone in her time of needBecause he's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseHe's going the distanceAhh, ahhYah! Oh!No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no lineHe's haunted by something he cannot defineBowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorseAssail him, impale him with monster truck forceIn his mind, he's still driving, still making the gradeShe's hoping in time that her memories will fade'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseThe sun has gone down and the moon has come upAnd long ago somebody left with the cupBut he's striving and driving and hugging the turnsAnd thinking of someone for whom he still burns'Cause he's going the distanceHe's going for speedShe's all alone (All alone)All alone in her time of needBecause he's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseHe's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseHe's going the distanceHe's going for speedHe's going the distanceAhh, ahh, hey!Hey!Additional Info: url: http://lyricwiki.org/Cake:The_Distance narra2009-01-26 19:07:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the fact that most of the tracks on Emotive are covers that really caught my attention. I think every one of their versions is a brilliant interpretation of the original. It's not easy taking a well-known song with an established history and an established sound in an audience's mind and then re-working it to still sound flippen brilliant....which is what I feel they've achieved. I mean really....how many hard rock bands can take Joni Mitchell's 'Fiddle And The Drum' and do an a capella version of it....? Joni's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOJLqdcJZJ0 Perfect Circle's THAT'S the best song on the album! I have to be honest, I don't really bother spending money on death metal. When I'm in the mood for it I just switch on my radio, turn the volume up and tune it so it doesn't pick up any signal....to each his own, eh!

"Roberta" Flack' date=' a she , her song[/quote'] No....sorry....but she(Roberta) is singing about a he Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever Embarassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there And he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song [break] Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me He was strumming my pain Yeah, he was singing my life Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly With his song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
