the suffer my desire (4 u) outro is thoroughly poignant.

I agree. I would put "Once Upon a Time" in the same category too. The whole song, and the "I went faaaaaaalliiiiiiiiiing" s towards the end.

[LaBelle]

show me in the culture where the pumpkins touched you

This part is also quite touching.

Great call on that one. Interesting lack of BC footage at that part.

But one thing I've never noticed: what in the sam hell is that footage from one of the Arising shows where we see D'Arcy walk off the stage?!?!? That means that there's a tape out there somewhere of an entire Arising show. Mind is reeling currently.

True. "Try Try Try" gets to me as well.

"Farewell and Goodnight" is touching for me. The song, the melody, and the fact that they all sang on it (also associated with my memory of seeing them perform it). Also, you know which song ? We heard it so much it's not fresh for most of us..."Disarm". The lyrics, the strings, the bells...What a breathtaking, and heartfelt piece of music.

I knew it. I can't remember which (and if it's just one show or more than one) but yep, there's at least one unsurfaced pro-shot show of the Arising tour...

[Ram27]

It deeply irritates me thinking about how much unreleased footage there is of shows

[FoolofaTook]

"one day we'll wave hello, and wish we'd never waved goodbye"

[FoolofaTook]

"if you're giving in, then you're giving up" holy mother of jeebus!

and the middle eight (or bridge or whatever) of galopogos, when the guitars get overdriven and b0lly sings:

"too late to turn back now...
...is here with you"

i SWOON

[reprise85]

too late to turn back now... i'm running out of sound, and i am changing

good lord.

[reprise85]

in my body is, im convinced, a song about child abuse

hold silent
you were my violence stuck
in my life
just for the moment
and let me under you
so you can die

i was alive
i was alive

in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me out
in my body
the lonely creatures
the lonely creatures scream

june's offcast
left hiding, i form the screams
burned alive
wasted sunsets
haunting my torment
right through my clothes

in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me out

i was alive
i was alive

in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me out
in my body
the lonely creatures
the lonely creatures scream

in my body
in my body
in my body, yeah

[FoolofaTook]

yeah its a chilly song, if you know what i mean. the whole album feels like a windy chicago winter.

[reprise85]

yeah man.

the whole hiding in my body part really reminds me of how i dealt with abuse... you just kinda disappear, they get your body but you have your essence hidden in there where they cant reach it. plus other things which induce derealization... etc
