creepiest yet coolest solo random dance sequence I have ever seen!! lol

[jandyoshi]

saw this band live last night, it was a great show. They opened with this track and blew me and my friends out of the water with their performance.

Great song, this is one of my new favorite bands! I'm mesmerized by that fantastic mime dance thingy that revs up at 2:37. And I just noticed that all the women are played by the same lady (who, I've learned from another poster here, fronts a cool band called Hecuba). Awesome!!

New favorite video, thanks for posting the songs on your website I like the first 2 remixes they seem to just flow like one song with this version. i love the chick she runs into in the alley! HAHA! The blond wig on the pitchers mound makes her look like Judith Light

[lookwatisee]

Why is this band not bigger than what they are....This song and great video was wired but strangle enchanting....I like the ending this is what music needs now

[DanWallaceMusic]

@stuwatts30 Thanks for the tip! I was wondering who she was, she's great!

[exenstars]

My guess for what the lyrics are...

First the words were blue they helped us understand, but then the sounds were subtle like holograms. X4

I'm so sorry I've forgotten your name, I've forgot my own. Now this story lost its allegory, so we sing this song.

@GiddyGuava i agree! as well as listening to the album as a whole. don't get me wrong, this is easily one of the best songs on the CD but to understand it, people definitely have to listen to the rest of the CD

[nudesweek]

Dag yo, this song gives me goosebumps!


P.S. Sorry for saying "Dag yo."

@exenstars
first the words were good, they helped us understand
but then the sounds would double like holograms

i'm so sorry
i've forgotten your name
i forgot my own

now this story
lost its allegory
so we sing this song

@GiddyGuava will the "letter" help us understand the video at all?

[GiddyGuava]

I think more people would understand the song if you had read the "letter" that comes with the album. If you can find a copy of it, you'll definitely be able to get more enjoyment out of the album as a whole... but, that's just my opinion.

[kiLLacHeEzAy]

LOVE the song! But what is the video tryna say???

[infamousNfamous]

@exenstars right! except the words were "good" not blue, and the sounds were "terrible" =)

[salacker]

the pasadena 'suicide' bridge!

[yourlocalspacewitxch]

@infamousNfamous actually the sounds would double. :)

[maryturnbull]

Sounds like 60 percent of music EVER. Renaissance classical, dubstep, soft pop, alternative acapella... Not sure if that's worthy of recognition, but a "hey, interesting."

[volixian]

I think I can speak for us all, when I ask, whatever they are on, let me hit. xD

[beeman]

I love in ruins so much, but I just can't stand this song.. I don't know why
