Black Helicopter (demo)- Merry Xmas Everyone

[icantremember1989]

has anyone heard this on mg's site on the audio player. its really good.

[geek]

wee! it sounds slightly odd, the extra background noises are a tad distracting, and as for the words, um... all i can make out it is "you're gonna get what you deserve" and "black helicopter", and this he slurs. to me. first time listening.

but wee!

[worldofnoise]

What more do you expect from a demo?

I imagine Mr.Good did this on Garageband, *e-props* because it's hard enough to get it to sound like this!

[MarketTomato]

Holy crap...I'm SO EXCITED FOR A NEW ALBUM!!

It may be a little soon, but this new stuff is pretty awesome.

Edit: Lol, I love when he says XBox. ^^ Oh wow. I'm liking this.

[Mr.Domino]

word, thats a neat little guitar lick he does in there.

[MarketTomato]

Yep, sure is. I like the chorus quite a bit. ;)

[sodamntired]

oh my god....so good.

 

if thats the demo, i can't wait to hear the final product.

[MarketTomato]

Mmmmhmmm.....I wonder if the new album whenever it comes out, will surpass Avalanche. That would be kickass.

[radio_bomb]

Absolutely stunning.

[Crusader]

Will try to get a copy of the demo here asap. Someone get lyrics please.

[HoboFactory]

Awesome song, enjoyed it greatly.

[Crusader]

Check NF store in a couple of minutes. Need help with lyrics still.

[BaconFacedWilson]

That is quite awsome!

[CaptainRocket]

I think I 've got most of the lyrics figured out if you still need them Anton. They are definitely not 100% though.

[Crusader]

Up on NF store.

 

Lyrics so far: http://www.nearfantastica.com/lyrics/song/148.html

[CaptainRocket]

I think it's "concrete, the natural absurd" if that makes sense...

 

and I think it's "Absolution for your head"

"and not a bullet less"

Thanks, still some foggy parts.

[CaptainRocket]

Your ?????? sounds to me like "Sammy ain't ya heard", Anton.

Complete speculation of course.

[Shiri]

You people work so fast. This is definitely a nice little surprise, I like what I'm hearing.

[Crusader]

Good ole insomnia.

[CaptainRocket]

I hear you, Anton.

[uglyredhonda]

You're gonna take what you can get

Food and rock and roll

Absolution for your head

For X-Box COINTELPRO

You're gonna get what you deserve

And not a bullet less

They said it, ain't you heard

Only killers call killing progress

Fixed but I swear X-box's do use Intel chipsets though ;). Anyone else have their own interpretations?

[GravityDave]

Im pretty sure Matt said new album for spring time didnt he?

 

Correct me if im wrong, but im sure he mentioned it in a post a couple months back, when he was saying he had one contracted album release left with Universal.

 

Cant Get Shot In The Back he has kind of confirmed for it on that Cfox show he did. If Black Helicopter is going to be on it too, then....god dammit I cant wait!! woooo!

[uglyredhonda]

Fixed but I swear X-box's do use Intel chipsets though :angry:. Anyone else have their own interpretations?

The first-gen's did (Intel Celerons). The X-Box 360 has PowerPC (IBM). ;)

 

I was thinking "For X-Box COINTELPRO" as an allusion to people being wiped of caring about political action in favor of the X-Box. At first blush, the lyrics kinda read like a critique of people ignoring government actions in favor of simpler things like music and video games.

 

The first verse almost sounds like: "Weeding to the west / Live the high way in your home"

 

There's something weird about how he pronounces the first line of the chorus - it almost sounds like "For long, eh". (And I think it's "Are all I see".)
