Makes the song even more creepy. J. and Pijotr, thanks a bunch for adding those songs! Didn't know either of them. It's so strange indeed to hear such personal lyrics in the Assemblage 23 song to be locked up in such a mechanical sound.

It's very depressing and dark and it actually made an impression. The song is about a son who speaks with his father right after he killed himself. The son desperately looks for the reasons that his dad did this, and through the 'conversation' seeks closure. It is weird that such a theme would be in harmony with music that is essentialy made for dancefloors, but it happens often in the electro world. The music actually blends pretty well with the lyrics. The song is called 'Disappoint' by a band called Assemblage 23: Just one more time For the sake of sanity Tell me why Explain the gravity That drove you to this That brought you to this place That pushed you down Into the soil's embrace Give me the chance I was denied To sit and talk with you For one last time Did I disappoint you? Did I let you down? Did I stand on the shore And watch you as you drowned? Can you forgive me? I never knew The pain you carried Deep inside of you. I can't forget Having to see The words that knocked the wind Right out of me It's not enough I've come undone Trying to find sense Where there is none Just give me peace You owe me that To help ward off the fears I must combat And so I ask For one more chance To understand This senseless circumstance Help me to see This through your eyes The reasons I've been trying To surmise Though you are gone I am still your son And Though your pain is over Mine has just begun Did I disappoint you? Did I let you down? Did I stand on the shore And watch you as you drowned? Can you forgive me? I never knew The pain you carried Deep inside of you. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DFrcuiIrdOE This is one of the mixes. I realize that it's not really your aesthetic, but I think you can appreciate many different genres. A great selection, Bubbachups. I especially enjoyed the Waits song. This one really struck me.

Just one more time
For the sake of sanity
Tell me why
Explain the gravity
That drove you to this
That brought you to this place
That pushed you down
Into the soil’s embrace

Give me the chance
I was denied
To sit and talk with you
For one last time

Did I disappoint you?
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore
And watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew
The pain you carried
Deep inside of you.

I can’t forget
Having to see
The words that knocked the wind
Right out of me
It’s not enough
I’ve come undone
Trying to find sense
Where there is none

Just give me peace
You owe me that
To help ward off the fears
I must combat
And so I ask
For one more chance
To understand
This senseless circumstance
Help me to see
This through your eyes
The reasons I’ve been trying
To surmise

Though you are gone
I am still your son
And Though your pain is over
Mine has just begun

Did I disappoint you?
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore
And watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew
The pain you carried
Deep inside of you.

Here is a video for his song "Calling You Out" which he stands up against bosses, people, and death. As one reviewer put it,"There's something so freeing about the sentiment of this song; calling out those things that have held us prisoners." I hope you enjoy it.

6. calling you out

ol’ boss, you’ve got nothing on me now
and i’m standing up and calling you out
i gave you my time
for your peace of mind
but boss you ain’t taking mine now

ol’ world, you’ve got nothing on me now
and i’m standing up and calling you out
you tried constantly
to make a fool out of me
but world you ain’t breaking me now

ol’ death, you’ve got nothing on me now
and i’m standing up and calling you out
you may take my friends
to their early ends
but death you ain’t taking me now

Anyone that still thinks there was no reason to liberate Iraq, doesn’t understand that Saddam DID have WMD, or that the world has been safer due to the WOT - they are morons that irrationally Hate GWB more than they care about our country.”
==================

Don’t repeat that again.
