Mogwai - Travel Is Dangerous

Travel Is Dangerous

[@jornvallis8051]

One of the most beautifully haunting songs I've heard in my life.

[@toddf.packer9394]

Absolutely. Knowing the story behind it after researching the lyrics got my blood boiling to an extent. Those poor men dependent upon egotistical sociopaths RIP

[@dannesz]

Unrathed song of my life ❤️

Beautiful song, albeit brings tears to the eyes when you are focusing on the lyrics.

[@toddf.packer9394]

For real. Always a shite way to learn one of your favorite tunes is morbid as it comes. Faith in govt agency who cares not for the life of the cog in the machine

[@Xreaperification]

this song was written about the sinking of the Russian submarine, K-141 Kursk in the Barents Sea on August 12, 2000
Who might know of this?
The notes we left
Our final thoughts
And we knew they'd get us out
Sink, sink
Drowned by her country
Old, and she
Is cursed and forgotten
Never to surface again
The air runs out
The captain's first
So we take to memories
And layers of clothes
Up there the family waits
Outside we heard hammers
Noises sound like the end
And we will never see them
Sink, sink
Drowned by our country
Dead, and she
Is cursed, old and rotten
Never to surface again

I think I'm going to die when this song comes on been a fear f mine for 6years. I look around waiting for it to appear, not out of fear but understanding.

This song is about the sinking of the Russian K-141 Kursk submarine in 2001.

[@dannesz]

The best unrathed song ever of my life ❤️

[@anna-sleeps]

This masterpiece sometimes reminds me of Toxicity, is it just me?

[@strafeist3545]

I hear it now you've mentioned it
as always with mogwai the harmonization's far more complex but there's certainly a similarity in the intro guitar

[@Dihuda]

thanks a lot man! really good song!
