| so awesome |
 by Fëanor |
Listening to ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead's latest album to get myself ready for the show. The second song on there is called "Will You Smile Again For Me." It's seriously one of the most awesomest songs that's ever been awesome. If I could rate it higher than five stars in iTunes, I would. Woo hoo!
[UPDATE: Turns out the following story and quotes are probably all fake. Those lying bastards!]
Btw, if you're curious about where their incredibly long name comes from, check out this page on their website. Basically it's from a Mayan ceremony for summoning the spirit of the corn gods:
Sever for us all ties between the now and what is to be
We will act as your sword, oh Great Itzamna
And you will know us by the trail of dead.
For extra coolness/creepiness, a similar line also shows up in the Egyptian Book of the Dead:
O you who bring, you who run
You who are in the booth of the Great God...
...If the bringing of my soul to me from anywhere is delayed
You will find the Eye of Horus standing us thus against you
And you will know it by a Trail of the Dead
Dude. |
