Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Will Wanna Be	#1 by Will Hay at Sep 26, 2007 at 11:45 PM EST
	i think that verse "Your heart felt good, it was drippin' pitch and made of wood. And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me." is written in 1st person, the earth saying how it felt to have the first animals leave the water and start living on the land... theres so much good writing in this song, its hard to break it all down into one main idea...

No Picture St. Jimmy Wanna Be	#2 by St. Jimmy at Oct 1, 2007 at 10:22 PM EST
	"your heart fealt good, it was drippin pitch and made of wood." well when he says pitch he means black and wood maybe is hard. so maybe he means that it felt good to be an asshole or tell someone off or something along those lines.......just a guess.

No Picture bobby Rhythm Player	#3 by bobby volm at Oct 5, 2007 at 7:44 PM EST
	I always figured it was "Baby, 'cause angels fly around you.." Perhaps it's just me, but the slang word "cum" seems a bit perverse compared to the rest of the lyrical content. I could be wrong.

No Picture Thomas Average	#4 by Thomas Buckman at Oct 9, 2007 at 4:42 PM EST
	Isaac Brock is pretty big on psychotropic drugs. I wonder... to have this kind of understanding of creation, beautiful as it is, must have taken some kind of mind expansion.

No Picture Jay the Hellrac Average	#5 by Jay the Hellracer... at Oct 13, 2007 at 5:17 PM EST
	this is just one of those amazing songs that you look at and realize you had the exact same thoughts. those very thoughts that you had thought made you different from everyone else. nice to see someone else put them in song form. i think what he's saying is that we are infinitely small and inifinitely large at the same time. one blood cell of ours could be an entire universe to bililions by billions of creatures too small for us to comprehend, and at the same time our entire universe could be just one cell in a massive creature also beyond our comprehension. this thought seems to stem from the loss of an unborn child leading to religion and then this.

No Picture Thomas Average	#6 by Thomas Buckman at Oct 14, 2007 at 8:31 PM EST
	i love this song. lyrically is is amazing, it captures an emotion i didn't even realize i had. And it does it so perfectly. musically, like all Modest Mouse, it is amazing, also.

No Picture Jesse Professional	#7 by Jesse Garcia at Oct 15, 2007 at 9:33 PM EST
	I wanna know what " it was dripping of pitch and made of wood" means.. I really really do.... then I can die happy.

No Picture Daniel Average	#8 by Daniel Johnson at Oct 16, 2007 at 8:11 PM EST
	such a good song

No Picture Steil Wanna Be	#10 by Steil Lionhart at Oct 17, 2007 at 8:13 PM EST
	a very good song.... "Everything that keeps me together is falling apart I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over." The foundations that keep things stable are crumbling, and the only thing you feel good at is causing trouble for others. This song has a lot to do with the illusions and faith that we have that keeps us stable. The boss is looking for blind spots.... The 3rd planet's "watcher".... Scientific truths (our blood is just like the atlantic....the universe is shaped exactly like the earth) The part of the song that I think is hinted at is the couple (in the baby come angels stanza) is that they lost a child. Three becomes two.....the world began, and the world will end without their child.

No Picture Turd Fergeson Lead Player	#11 by Turd Fergeson Fergeson at Oct 18, 2007 at 7:12 PM EST
	"Well, outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon. Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two. And that's how the world began. And that's how the world will end." just thought id point out.. cold sun light reflected off the moon is moonlight.. get it? and baby cum angels are baby angels reminding you that someone must have died..
