Can someone please tell me what the hell this song is about?
Alone Down There by Modest Mouse.
How do, how do you do?
My name is you
Flies, they all gather around me and you too
You can't see anything well
You ask me what size it is, not what I sell
The flies, they all gather around me and you too
I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
The Devil's apprentice he gave me some credit
He fed me a line and I'll probably regret it
I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
Ah.
I don't want you to be alone down there
To be alone down there, to be alone
Listen to it if you can. It sort of reminded me of The Lord of the Flies. What do you guys think?

Bonus points to people who can PM with proof they know of some of the more obscure bands on there. (What these points are good for and how to redeem them . . . I have no idea smile )
The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies. I shat you not. The only song by them that I have is called "Boogie King".

I forgot to add Kraftwerk and The Clash to my list of favorite bands. Kraftwerk is a German synth pop band that influenced musicians like Depeche Mode and even David Bowie during his Berlin era. The Clash is a punk band that I'm sure most of you have heard of.

Blasphemize I forgot to add Kraftwerk and The Clash to my list of favorite bands. Kraftwerk is a German synth pop band that influenced musicians like Depeche Mode and even David Bowie during his Berlin era. The Clash is a punk band that I'm sure most of you have heard of. You can't not like David Bowie. He's just so sparkley! ANYWAY...I like a lot of different kinds of music. My favourite bands tend to change with my moods, but I'm currently loving: Blondie Garbage Ok Go Franz Ferdinand No Doubt(pre-Rock Steady) AC/DC Snow Patrol Pat Benetar Daniel Powter Nine Black Alps Rilo Kiley Bright Eyes There are a lot more bands I love(music=life), but I'm too lazy to type any more names.

Well, probably about two people that died. Y'know, flies gather around dead stuff a lot. And then there is the down there, and the devil part.

That's funny, 'cus someone else told me that it's about prostitution. Did you listen to the song? The person who's singing doesn't sound human...

I'm something of a Coheed & Cambria nerd.
*coughCLAUDIOFANBOYcough*
Really, I'm just wowed by the emotion with which Claudio and those who write these songs along side him are able to endow their music. At that, it all tends to be about a single on-going story, which is a work of genius in and of its self.
At the moment, I'm listening to Time Consumer, from their first album, Second Stage Turbine Blade. It's rather slow, and entails the plot which drags up the past for Coheed and Cambria Killganon, husband and wife in a sci-fi universe, who are pulled into their darkened past by a mysterious man. He informs Coheed that he is infected with a virus that, by some means, would transform him into a creature known as the Monstar if a certain condition was met, and drain the nearby Star of Sirus(which is, to say, a giant battery for the keywork. Or... something like that. >.>)
He then tells him that his four children: Josephine, Claudio, Matthew, and Maria, are infected with a mutated strain known as the Sinstar, which would do the same on their 21st birthdays reguardless of condition. He then hands Coheed a bottle of poison, and tells him that if they are not dead by two the next morning, then they would die by his men's hands.
"Maria my star, Matthew goodnight... You know, my lord, when you'll be forgiven!"
Each of their songs holds to a part of the story like this. It's a LOT to wrap your mind around at first, but I would reccomend them to anybody, if not for the plot, then simply for the fact that Claudio is perhaps the demi-god of vocalists.
