LUOMO-TESSIO-THE MOST DEPRESSING SONG EVER?????

i shall have to listen again because i didn't really notice that with his stuff. it still irks me a bit that a 14 minute long track can't be a 7 minute long track in this case - we're talking minimal dance music in spite of whatever number of subtle nuances lurk deep within the track.

The tracks on The Present Lover are much shorter than those on Vocalcity - mostly between about five and nine minutes?

And the really long tracks on Vocalcity really *do* change quite substantially over the course of their length. Even something ultra-minimal like "The Right Wing" has all sorts of stuff going on. Now I couldn't imagine them being any shorter.

It's ok! We'll make it better!

I guess you make me warm
when you do the harm,
making everybody calm,
getting creative with your charm.
I'm trying to be all yours;
although I ain't answering your calls.
Don't say it's false;
I'm only following my thoughts.

Baby it's ok,
we'll make it better.
Baby, I, I'll survive,
without these women in my life.

The Present Lover seems to do this to people, doesn't it? You either find it completely flat and hookless or...well, the best thing ever.

Vintage Tim Finney here :)

i sing the lyrics slightly different to how Michael transcribed them there and i'm not entirely sure that he's right and i'm wrong. ha! did you just transcribe them from a close listen, Michael?

also what's the muffled movie dialogue at the beginning of the track from? i have an idea it might be from Hal Hartley's "Trust" and might possibly be the same excerpt Pilote used on his fantastic track "The Dialogue".

anyway i'm not so sure anymore but have a listen and tell me what you think.

i like:

"...making everybody come
getting creative with your charm..."

melancholy hedonism. or something.

"I'm the Present, true lover. Could you be mine? MOST MOMENT!"

MOST MOMENT

"Baby, I, I'll survive,
without these women in my life."

to be:

"Baby, I, I'll survive,
without THIS RHYTHM in my life."

without this rhythm, rh-rh-rhythm, r-r-r-rhythm, etc.

so maybe it originally is rhythm? I can't tell for sure.

"Making everybody come / Getting creative with your tongue" makes the song sound so much more lustful!

Maybe in "The Present Lover" the guy was originally talking about being the "Most Momus"???

Ten for you, ten for you.
A ten for you, a ten for you.
Ten for you, ten for you.

Why did you do me like this? Content for you.
Why did you do me like this? Content for you.
This, and this, ten for you.
This and for you.
This and for you.

or how about "Honey, 10-4 you."

When I talk in danger to you,
I imagine us not talking,
And everything starts moving like that,
And then I know I could make it
I could make it in stereo, stereovision
And all I can hear is low self mate audio, in audio
Trying to fit in radio, stereo, stereovision
And all I can hear
The radio keeps silent
Silently walking
I never saw it moving like that
The clock was stuck
But it was about fires in spite of us
Could it be silent? Could silence protect us?
Could silence be silence? Could silence protect us?
Trying to protect you even more, give you better features
My native force, to be the true, to be the true creator
That's why I just stay naked and eat you but
The radio keep silent
Can you explain what will make me safe, me safe?

I ain't here to disappoint you, girl.
I ain't here to disappoint you.
I ain't here to disappoint you, girl.
You, you.

When I arrive, I expect you to come up with better features.
That's why I talk in danger to you.
That's why I talk, that's why I talk in danger to you.
That's why I talk, that's why I talk in danger to you.
