311 - Boom Shanka

From the album Stereolithic

Transmission beaming out from the sun
Collision no use in running from
My senses picking up the pulse
The silence said a mouthful
Intuition didn't know what I was waiting for

Can't go very far
Gonna notice where you are
I got a love for you so large
Fixed to you like a star
Can't go very far
Gonna notice where you are
I got a love for you so large
Fixed to you like a star

Every time I think I got it figured
Something bigger always jumps in the frame
Something gets in the way

Now I'm ready to turn the page
On yesterdays and forgive them
Now I'm willing to disengage
To seize the day and move on

Wanna swing you higher
Wanna swing you higher

Vibration coming up from the ground
Translation something just more than sound
When I move onto the next world
I'll wait for you over there
Rotation my head the other way around

Every time I think I got it figured
Something bigger always jumps in the frame
Something gets in the way

Now I'm ready to turn the page
On yesterdays and forgive them
Now I'm willing to disengage
To seize the day and move on

If I'm not careful I may
Slip away before I get
One last look at your face
(One last look at your face)
You know I'll see you again
Somewhere in another time and space
Boom box, boom box, boom box, oww

Now I'm ready to turn the page
On yesterdays and forgive them
Now I'm willing to disengage
To seize the day and move on

Love that they mixed a little bit of "Waiting" into the song.

i cant get enough of this song it has to be in rotation everyday especially the morning jam!!! what have you done to me?!!

[shawnwills]

Absolutely love this.... Been a fan off 311 for a long while & they haven't lost their finesse! Love the new album as well!

There was a certain feel hanging around even before this was released. I've been an excitable one sine '93 and I recognize what a different record this is. One embrace of so many styles. A recurring idea through and through. A very relative step for the band.

[marimbalick]

Another sweet jamming driving piece. Makes me excited for the years to come. There have been a couple disappointments in some older albums but there has been an obvious progress in recent years with transistor and grassroots. These guys are becoming more and more captivating. I hope they don't stop for a while.

this is the album that got me to like 311 now I can't stop listening to them

[insanedrummer]

311 should make this song their next single because to me, i know really good songs and this right here is one of them. good melody, good tune, and a good beat to it too.

Lyrics!? The message in this song is relevant still today and beyond.

[mackheadmusic]

translation = "may the seed of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman"

[alexcaminiti]

Instrumental is really dope. Vocals are really weak.
