An angelic song. It deserves to be sung by these angels.

So haunting, made the hair on my neck stand up

[@jeffersonpanora3177]

"It's core is a complete mystery to me. I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve - 'Street Spirit' has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end.
"I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it. I'd crack. I'd break down on stage. That's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together. That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion. I'd crack.
"Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the f--king devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh.
"The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack.
"It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell everytime I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart."
"I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much... I didn't write that song." lol

Funny he feels that ... the last 8 words redeem the sorrow for me every time ...

This was absolutely beautiful

[@SantiagoPerez03]

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Fade out again
Fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

[@florianroder2217]

Verdammt, das geht echt ans Herz, das ist verdammt gut arrangiert, die Akustik ist großartig und die Sopranstimmen, die zwischendurch anschwellen machen es emotional heftig und intensiv! Wird dem Song und dem Gefühl sehr gerecht.
Aber bitte warum wegen ca 7-8 Zeilen Text aus Gesangsbüchern lesen?? Bitte lasst das doch. Erst wenn der Text sitzt kann die Kunst lernen zu laufen....
