![]() The Information (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
The information is laughing at us
The ticker tape feeds the night
Looking for a lost transmission
A heaven that we left behind
When the information comes
We'll know what we're made from
And the skyline rising
Highrise eyes see through you
Say hello to a mannequin
The ghost of an automaton
The witching hour is summoning up
Armies where they don't belong
When the information comes
We'll know what we're made from
And the skyline rising
Highrise eyes see through you
She's the sister of avarice
The wife of a poisonous tide
She's the eye of a battle of storms
That sees where the atoms collide
When the information comes
We'll know what we're made from
And the skyline rising
Highrise eyes see through you

| DrCyKosis (~Galveston~) | Posted: Dec 03, 2008 - 12:39 Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of SNL. The one where Horatio Saenz, Jimmy Fallon, and the rest do that cheezy Christmas song. |

| xkolibuul (Pacific Rim, salmon, big trees) | Posted: Sep 19, 2007 - 16:22 This is where my Beck-o-meter swings from "I like" right pass "tolerate" all the way to "no thanks". |

| MatClarke (Stonehenge, England) | Posted: Mar 15, 2007 - 06:58 What terribly dull song. No effort from the writer, even the singer sounds bored. |

Give it time. Your brain needs a few listens to untangle this treasure trove of sounds to make sense of it. |

I try to at least respect Beck from a creative standpoint, but I hear way more machine than instrument in most of his stuff. YUP, I agree! |
| Alexandra (The American Riviera) | Posted: Nov 14, 2006 - 09:14 I love the subtle nuances of the female voices sliding around, almost sounding like instruments/electronics. It's especially effective in a car stereo/on headphones ...Beck is a musical genius. |
| fuh2 (I think I'm in the USA) | Posted: Nov 10, 2006 - 16:13 I'm starting to like this song with its strong beat and discordance. |

yes. |
| Xeric (404 Not Found) | Posted: Oct 28, 2006 - 14:44 This is a relief. I've heard several Beck cuts here that I rather liked. I was afraid I was going to have to reconsider my position that he's basically over-rated at best and really, really irritating at worst. Nope. He still is. |
