BBS song off You forgot it in people.

Anyone else think this song is utterly beautiful. the distorted vocals the violin, the way the lyrics are simple, and repeated ad naseum, yet they are mindblowing in their significance.

hell of a song

    Amazing tune.

    I get to see BSS live in a few weeks, can't wait!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Great, great song, unlike anything else on the album but it manages to fit in so nicely.

    They seriously need to record another album, YFIIP and the self-titled are both great albums.

    This was the first song that really caught my attention for BSS. "Looks Just Like the Sun" is pretty beautiful and my favorite of theirs.

    I like these guys but I still think Do Make Say Think is much more my cup of tea (2 members of BSS's other/original band). Check out You, You're a History in Rust for their album that sounds most like BSS.

    When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was another thread about Cornell's "Scream"

    I got Kevin Drew's album, but I wasn't too impressed. It was good at times, but it is never anywhere near as good as YFIIP or BSS. I have passed on Canning's album so far, I heard it is about the same as Drew's, maybe slightly better, but still nowhere near the BSS albums.

    I'll stick my hat in the ring ... You forgot it in People is one of the top 5 albums of this decade ... no doubt about it ...
