i think most of you have heard me talk about the concert in person this weekend... and you saw the pics too, but i will give a small review of the show here.
It was the best concert i've ever been too. sounded perfect. met the band. left happy, stayed happy... still happy. odds are now less likely that i will want to go to any future concerts... beside tool of course.
that's my review.
i leave you with "Eighteen People Living In Harmony" and "Same Ol' Road" (if you must skip these, then just read the bolded portions below... please and thank you). pics soon for those interested, tonight or tomorrow.
Eighteen People Living In Harmony"
The opera is over
Singers have all gone home
Seats are empty
The kitchen is closed
The sidewalks are sprayed down
The blinds are pulled down
The foundation's unstable
The wrecking ball is back
Quiet business vacancy
Quiet business vacancy
Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Symphony's concluded
The instruments are all cased up
The notes are silent
The music's still apparent
Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Spirits are jaded
Art is dying
Is art dead?
Art is dying
Is it dead?
Believe it
We need it to move on
A one track mind in a one way town
Let's go ahead and gentrify
We let art die with robot minds
Steal the brush and paint boundary lines
A stale kind the people we'll find
Walking in single file line
I think its time to finally rewind
Lets go ahead we might as well
Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Spirits are jaded
Same Ol' Road
Here we go down that same old road again
Sympathy unfolds the shell that holds all the beauty within
Here we go down that same old road again
A memory, a regret, a hope
Here we go down that same old road again
Empathy controls the wind that blows and tickles our skin
A memory, a regret, a hope, a stimulant
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on
All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
Richest soil that is drenched with the freshest rain
Then you should sit in your backyard
Watch clouds peak over the tallest mountain tops
Cuz they unveil honest opinions about the stars
We must push on, we must push on
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
