    9. k49 - 'Whisper To Your Flinch'
    - Length: 3:32
    - Early mixdown track (TMV)
    - Offcut from/intended for Bedlam or Octahedron
    - Presumably recorded in Bedlam or Octa sessions, 2007-09
    Personnel: Cedric, Omar, Juan, Pridgen
    - Seems to not have all parts fully recorded, or effects added yet (in a similar way to the Deloused Summer Sessions), but pretty complete
    - The 'When it calls me' line was apparently sung in a pre-Tetra jam at an Australian gig in 2008
    - There is some debate as to whether this track is from the Bedlam or Octahedron eras, or of it was possibly associated with the scrapped TMV album that became Xenophanes.
    - Confirmed to be Pridgen
    Lyrics:
    I forgot (sounds like pitrone?)
    Has brought you all this grief
    The function in my retina
    Keeps staring on
    And when it calls me
    Im always never here
    To dust for prints in case I die
    A whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
    Vanish into air and leave an empty throne
    Whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
    Vanish into air and leave an empty throne
    Find the missing poles
    Electricity
    Even with bolts you throw
    When it keeps staring on
    Weapons in the attic keep stumbling patiently waiting for the bolt to fry
    But none of your kin are answering the telephone lost inside the wrinkling vine
    And when it calls me
    Im always never here
    To dust for prints in case I die
    A whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
    Vanish into air and leave an empty throne
    Whisper to your flinch can make it all better when
    Vanish into air and leave an empty throne
    (Have it/habit?) be lies you never told
    Have it be ones you can reap
    A hesitant pause in the smirk they give
    Is reason enough to believe
    The face I heal is peeling off
    And underneath is no one

    1:27 - 1:38 lyrical line is so smooth it's so damn funky. Makes me upset that they didn't release this song at least.

    I like the fact that these unreleased tracks are named what seem to be random typing. It's a very Mars Volta thing to do. It reminds me of how some stars are named numbers and letters or how Bach's compositions are cataloged as, for example, BWV-153 BWV-1084.

    • @iroveashe
      @iroveashe 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In concert music it was the norm to just catalogue works by the composer and they were usually named after the form of the piece, sonata, fugue, symphony, they're all just structured differently, and it wasn't about having a unique name in words about the piece. It's cool in a way cause it doesn't force you to associate any piece with a given title, it's like "piece of music n3"

      Dozo yes,
      Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV; lit. Bach works catalogue; German: [̍ˈbax ˈvɛrkɛ fɛrˈtsaɪçnɪs]) is a catalogue of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was first published in 1950, edited by Wolfgang Schmieder. The catalogue's second edition appeared in 1990. An abbreviated version of that second edition, known as BWV2a, was published in 1998.

      iroveashe yes! I play classical guitar so I know exactly what you mean. Bach wrote so many works that it’s easier to catalogue all his music by numbers and abbreviations. Kind of how stars are catalogued by type and coordinates. Simply because there are so many stars it’s difficult to name every single one.

    I was thinking the same thing. He said then the movie wouldn't be finished till Volta was no more. Well I guess now he can put it together. It would be awesome if their was a live show from every album on that movie.

  • @ZanAzoth

    I still can't hear this as an Octohedron track. That album was legitimately too... calm for this to fit.
    And vocally Cedric doesn't match it at all.
    If anything, Vocally, it sounds more Noct, and the aggressiveness of the instrumentals sound more Beldam...
    The only thing I can think is this was slated -maybe- for Octo, before they decided it would be a calm album.

    • @shauner8754
      @shauner8754 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zan Azoth there are plenty of songs on Octahedron that aren’t calm

    • @gabe6182
      @gabe6182 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have to respectfully disagree. Bedlam and Octahedron were not recorded simultaneously. Bedlam was recorded in 2006 and 2007 in Ocean Studios in Hollywood and released in 2008. Octahedron was recorded in Mexico at Omar’s house in August 2008. As to where this song was recorded or what album it may have been intended for is always going to be up for debate unless someone from the band ways in on it.

      @@gabe6182 yes but remember that you are speaking about Omar and Cedric this duo has music for days so who's to say the albums weren't already made from recordings of songs that didnt make it to albums before those you know what I'm saying? Just cuz the albums were recorded in and released in different years doesnt mean that the songs or versions of them before rerecorded and mastered for the album didn't already exist.

    This to me, sounds like it was intended for Octahedron, just because of the lyrics that kinda speak about bad things done to someone or being very straight frwrd with someone making mistakes or something, and the music feel Octahedron as well. (just my perception)
