Frightened Rabbit - Nitrous Gas

Artist: Frightened Rabbit

Song: Nitrous Gas

Album: Pedestrian Verse

Year: 2013

"I'm dying to tell you that I'm dying here..."

"And if happiness won't come to me, hand me the nitrous gas... Leave the acute warm heartedness, go where the joyless bastard is, he's dying to bring you down with him... Suck in the bright red major key, spit out the blue minor misery, I'm dying to bring you down with me..."

*A GREETING: Well, first of all I would like to say hi and then list a few things I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for being healthy, for having my parents, for my having my grandparents, with their ailments but still rocking, for being able to run, for being able to listen and play music,  which is my greatest passion. 

And in general, I'm grateful for a bunch of things and even though sometimes I don't acknowledge that, I am. It often comes to perspective. However, I'm not even close to being, what you can call, truly happy. Sure, today is all glitter and best wishes, but tomorrow it's likely to be just like yesterday, or like 5, 7, 9 years ago and I can't seem to solve that equation, time won't stop and I'm older now.

Again, it all comes down to perspective, that's why I like the idea of this song and the nitrous gas. Who knows, maybe tomorrow my perspective will have changed,  if not, there must be a "nitrous gas-ish" solution.

Anyhow, THANK YOU ALL!

Frightened Rabbit - The Woodpile

Artist: Frightened Rabbit

Song: The Woodpile

Album: Pedestrian Verse

Year: 2013

"Far from the electric floor, removed from the red meat market, I looked for a fire door, unescaped from the drums and barking, but after all social charms, I’m struck down by the hand of fear, I've fallen to the corner’s arms, seem weird I, I’m done for years, I’m trapped in a collapsing building, come find me now, we’ll hide out, we’ll speak in our secret tongues, we come back to my corner..."

*A COMMENT: This should be coming out on February 4th (UK) and February 5th (US)... I really liked the quote above or at least the interpretation I've made of it. I think it is about this socially awkward guy that is in this club/party/whatever-social-event-you-want. I would say a club due to the 'electric floor', but it could also refer to any dance floor anywhere else (ie. a wedding, you name it) and it being electric as everyone is moving as if the were being electrified... The 'red meat market' is another reference I liked a lot, as in these environments everyone is a hunting dog, men going after women and vice versa or whatever combination you want, the thing  is everyone is going after someone...

Anyhow, he/she feels uncomfortable in this kind of atmosphere, so after all the "mandatory" social codes are done, he ends up frozen with this shyness, hence fear of interacting, alone in a corner wishing the one he/she fancies was there with him/her so an escaped could be made...
