Fucking Gira, just drop the full song already
What song are you most excited about?
>The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black
Mainly because we haven't heard anything from this one, and it uses lyrics Gira wrote back in the no wave days.

I better cover all my stuff in plastic because I'm gonna cum hard senpai

Am I imagining things or did I read something about some potential Sonic Youth lyrics? The no wave thing you mentioned reminded me of that.
>>63925636
I wonder if we will see more USE YOUR HANDS TO BUILD THINGS. USE YOUR HANDS TO BREAK THINGS. type of lyrics
>>63925636
im pumped for Finally, Peace, if its their final song i assume gira worked hard on it
>>63926847
>Finally Peace
>If I have my way this will be a quite "pretty" pop song that will dissolve into a narcotic cloud of sound I forsee a sizeable cast of players on this one.
This is what he wrote about it in the liner notes for "The Gate" I'm really excited for it as well.

Yeah, it's one of their songs that he wrote for them. Titled The World Looks Red
>The song ‘The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black’ uses some words I wrote in 1982 or so that Sonic Youth used for their song ‘The World Looks Red’, back in the day. The music and melody used here in the current version are completely different. While working up material for this new album, I had a basic acoustic guitar version of the song and was stumped for words. For reasons unknown to me, the lyric I’d so long ago left in my typewriter in plain view at my living and rehearsal space (the latter of which Sonic Youth shared at the time) and which Thurston plucked for use with my happy permission, popped into my head and I thought “Why not?” The person that wrote those words well over three decades ago bears little resemblance to who I am now, but I believe it remains a useful text, so “Why not?”. Maybe, in a way, it closes the circle.
>Push it away
>The world looks red
>People with fish eyes
>The ground sucks
>Walk on my fingertips
>Displacing the fog
>The weight of my body
>Is too mush to bear
>The memory drained
>The life from the dull
>An ocean of insects
>Worked like a sheet
>The immovable fact
>Buried my mind
>In a horsehair coat
>In a pile
>On the floor
>Push it away
>The world looks red
>People with fish eyes
>The ground sucks
>Walk on my fingertips
>Displacing the fog
>The weight of my body
>Is too much to bear
>The memory drained
>The life from the dull
>The ocean of insects
>Moved like a sheet
>The immovable fact
>Buried my mind
>In a horsehair coat
>In a pile
>On the floor

Very neat, thanks!

I'm pumped for The Glowing Man. I expect the build up to the signature riff will be incredible.
