i Recently had a drunken break, and Fucked something good up again with my black ex, i made love to her after a BLM protest the other week(the one in Philly..), the line "we fell into it, like a daydream, or a fever.." was playing in my head on n off, while Fucking her. After she told me to "have a nice life" the other night(after my drunken bullshit over the phone.. she lives 1.5 hours away..), i told her "I have Greatly Appreciated having you in my life. Stay Safe." I want to Fucking CRY!!.
"We fell into it; like a daydream, or a fever". These words will haunt me until my last day. I've fallen many times, and gotten back up once more each time. But since the first time, I have been different. It truly is like a daydream, or a fever. I don't know who I'm writing this to, maybe no one. I am drunk now. I feel as though I've been watching the world crumble around me in slow motion. What bothers me most is the beauty. Our lives are the balance of beauty and tragedy. Godspeed, friends.
I am right here within this duality. I see The Duality. Life is so horrendous and divine; Vile and Benevolent. Beautiful storms erase memories.. Calm waters can smother those who do not belong.. Child birth is wondrous pain. Losing something can help you gain another. Our egos have us trying to contort our surroundings around our comfort. That only creates stress, because you can't change everything. Instead, we need to start understanding that life may not *look* how we thought and conform to Find your comfort. We can't avoid The Duality, but we can ride it like a wave.
it feels like a bad dream. i want it to all end. i want things to get better. i keep falling down but i don’t know how much left i have in me to go. i love you. so much.
Haha that’s funny. I read Blood Merdian my second time around listening to GYBE! back around the mid 2000’s. It was a surreal experience to say the least.
The song is dark, but everyone seems to forget the unbridled light and joy past 14:30 The world is flawed, but there will always be happiness and love in the human condition
The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine And the machine is bleeding to death The sun has fallen down And the billboards are all leering And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves Mothers clutching babies Picked through the rubble And pulled out their hair The skyline was beautiful on fire All twisted metal stretching upwards Everything washed in a thin orange haze I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful - These are truly the last days" You grabbed my hand And we fell into it Like a daydream Or a fever We woke up one morning and fell a little further down For sure it's the valley of death I open up my wallet And it's full of blood
You made a typo, it's actually: The car is on fire, (distant bark) and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows
Thanks to 28 Days Later for introducing me to GSYBE back in middle school. Great memories of flying over the Rockies from Texas to Tacoma with my Dad in the AM hours as the sun started to rise. I started to see, clearly, the snowtopped mountains below, passing by quickly yet slowly. I'll never forget that flight or trip.
Are YOU feeling that though? The seemingly soulless world has lead me even deeper into different artforms, where soul and passion are VERY alive and well
I was addicted to this song years ago. So sad, alone and nowhere to go. Now I am married, accepted many things as they are, they were. There is still something burning, thanks to Allah, it does not hurt anymore but giving me to strength walk through dark winters almost effortlessly. Being sad is ok. It will come...
Glass Jar this picture feels like winter in any 1st world country. Isolation, freedom and technology. It's an existential pain, not based in reality, but caused by the malaise of day to day life in an effortless world.
Back in '97 it just seemed like artsy fluff. Now every new moment it seems to get more real. It's getting harder and harder to not pay attention. Things are not as solid as they once seemed. Old monsters are rising again.
People keep comparing this to covid or things we are seeing now. What we are living through now is nothing compared to what will come. What this song can really represent.
It's some kind of magical feeling while listening to This. Kind of darkness going through the whole body, nearly physical feeling of saddnes. I can't even describe IT fully, but that was really one of a kind experience. Music with soul, really dark one
People talking about this aging like a wine, don't you get it? We always have been suffering. Nothing has change since this album dropped 20+ years ago. That's the real tragedy. Even when we try so hard, the machine always wins
14:30 and onward feel's like a small moment of reprise and joy once all the dust has settled after the apocalypse. I always picture and dance and a huge bonfire in the middle of an airport landing strip with a fiddle player fueling the party. Godspeed are always good for evoking strong imagery.
One time i was flying interstate. And there was a beautiful sunset happening right outside of the window. As corny as it sounds, i quickly grabbed my phone and queued up what does the fox say minions remix. I watched the orange light slowly fade into darkness over the curvature of the earth, All while listening to what does the fox say minions remix It was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. Great guys, Killer track.
Can see people wanted to depress themselves with the recent events just as much as I did, by constantly having that song on loop in their heads. It is a beautiful song, timeless.
Onw off thoae rare, and amazing albums that invokes the past, the future, and also where you are exactly right now. And it does it effortlessly and beautifully.
I use to listen to this back in highschool, I never understood why I was drawn to this and I still don't. I just know that a lot of times I just want to listen to how I feel instead of blasting music.

Post modernism or capitalist realism either way works. The hyper progression of capitalism in the western world will lead to the collapse of itself. Natural disasters are more rampant then ever. The earth is fighting back with the same fire we burn. the skyline was beautiful on fire
I felt like we were in a post-apocalyptic world and some great leader spoke to us in a way reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin from that 1940 political satire film The Great Dictator.
A video about the First Chechen War brought me here. It was a montage of graphic combat footage from the First Chechen War and this was playing in the background. Pretty brilliant.

For an anthem of 2020 check out Titus Andronicus “I Blame Society” it was written at the end of 2018. “While they refine the virus that makes us obsolete” “I'm not sick, it's the world that is, they're hiding their disease Behind a giant sign that's twice the Size of life as we perceive it to be. This sign I describe, it reads: "In silence, you are free" That's how they try to tie and Tightly bind us, reclined in our seats, oh my They think that we are spineless, I think they are all cheats It seems the Earth is speeding swiftly towards a grave catastrophe“
Saw them do this live in a tiny bar in New Orleans. Unforgettable. Guess it was 98 or 99? I came back today because someone asked for a doom anthem. This is it.
The lyrics to this song are frighteningly relevant right now. It's February 23rd, 2022 and we might be on the brink of another world war. Gods have mercy on us. EDIT: Shortly after I made this post the news came out that Russia is already bombing Ukraine.
This song reminds of the quote
"art is meant to comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable."

That 'wallet full of blood' bit hurts every time.
Jesus fuck, what a perfect track.
Never heard a band whose songs offer so much despair and hope at the same time.
Reading Blood Meridian while listening to GYBE! is one of the most unholy, hellish experiences ever.
No other book has given me more nihilistic dread than that book; and paired with GYBE!? Jesus.
Jesus. This is like the fiction equivalent of reading a People's History of the United States...while listening to GYBE!. Getting a little dark there!

The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood
***** pretty cool, they are a really neat group.
Sad cowboys hold all the secrets to a broken heart.

“I'm not sick, it's the world that is, they're hiding their disease
Behind a giant sign that's twice the Size of life as we perceive it to be. This sign I describe, it reads: "In silence, you are free"
That's how they try to tie and
Tightly bind us, reclined in our seats, oh my
