A Kiss to Send Us Off

A song by Incubus, one of my most favorite bands, ever. Ever. I've been listening to this song for a long time now and one day, finally, it struck me what this song meant. And not just the lyrics, but the music as well. This made me a true believer of how AWESOME Incubus really is. Anyway, the lyrics first:

Meet me here
On November 11th, come alone
Bring your mouth
And selective irreverence
We'll both see stars, just

ONE!
MORE!
Tongue!
Kiss before the sky falls
Out
From
This cloud we're hovering on
To send us off

A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!

Kill your doubt
With the coldest of weapons
Confidence
No more words, OOooooooooo
Just the sound of resplendent
Tongues colliding

ONE!
MORE!
Tongue!
Kiss before the sky falls
Out
From
This cloud we're hovering on
To send us off

A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!

Here I am, there you are
On a wire connecting our hearts
Theres a string, and it's tied, to a kite
Theres a storm, in the sky
Now the clouds become electric
There you are, here I am
Could I
Have!

A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!

When I listen to music, I try not to watch the music video or look at the lyrics (Actually, I don't try, I just don't).I believe that the music a band makes should connect to its audience by pure music alone, without the help of a video or a cheat sheet containing the lyrics. That's what this song did =) It connected. Meaning, melody, rhythm... I'm progressing to literaturetopia! Haha.

Here's the video. Although I don't think it's the official video. I don't think there's one. I'd love to include a live video from a concert but the audio is not perfect. Here it is:

I'ts gonna sound perverted but what the hell. This is not just about the thing but about the music and how it integrates with the lyrics! Pure awesomeness.

It's about going-away sex. If you haven't got that impression from the lyrics alone, then I am telling you! I don't want to explain much so you'd have your own way of interpreting it but just listen to the music, the instruments, the ups and downs, the effects, EVERYTHING. After that you'll be damned! DAMN! WHAT A GREAT SONG! LOL. I would have used a different concept in the video (army soldier going away leaving behind a lover is too typical) but anyway, like what I said, interpret in your own way! That's how it was interpreted by the one who made it.

Let me just say it again. Freakin awesome. WTF.

Which reminds me, the season ender of Chuck was freakin awesome! WTF! Season 2. No spoilers here no worries. And it's been renewed! Woohoo! It was in danger of being cancelled before because of low ratings (I cannot fathom why) but it's been renewed. Awesome.

There bloggy. This is what happens when I'm not a bummer anymore. I've got another one, from Incubus (surprise, surpise) as well, but i'll save it for another day. Legendary!
