#Listening to What's The Frequency, Kenneth?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZMUNyLmarQ
The big single off the 1994 R.E.M album Monster. I still don't really understand what this song is about, but it has a great use of delay on the fuzz guitar, and some great lyrics;
"You wore our expectations like an armored suit"
"A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth"
In a weird way, What's The Frequency reminds me of Panic in the Shade by Hunters & Collectors. Which came out the same year and also has some great lyrics;
"You been livin' in a golden age
It was the last thing you expected
Ya took ya sanity for granted
Now it lies tragically neglected"
"Trying to erase the silence
Ever since your rhythm got blown away
Crawlin' through the wreckage of your rendering room
To meet your hidden-half way"
A space for Bonfire maintainers and contributors to communicate
