He describes Steven's and Michaels accidents, and sings "I'm glad that it didn't destroy you. In this track, Wayne describes the turmoil the band has to go through before the recording of "Soft Bulletin". The 04 track can be either of the following depending on the version you have got: Awesome.anything less than 5/5 wouldn't do this track justice. Suddenly the song becomes more uplifting and uptempo, with a great bassline and and nifty guitar work.and very subtlely sinks back into the music and lyrics from the intro. It eventually goes into the amazing part in 3/4 with great backing vocals. I love the lyric "I stood up and I said 'YEAH'!" it just catches the mood very well. Then this majestic part comes in.very epic, almost middle eastern melodies, heavy percussion, violins, vibraphones and piano chords.until the uplifting chorus comes to change the mood again. It's just amazing when the backing vocals come in. A very mighty horn and organ come in halfway the intro.instantly changing the mood of the song to a more depressing level. For how long I didn't know" it's just really touching. When Wayne sings "I accidently touched my head and noticed that I have been bleeding. It starts with a nice melancholic atmosphere.some subtle guitar work and a synthesized hi-hat. This songs just one big epic tale of hope and despair. The song ends just as gorgeously as it began. At one point, Wayne sings the intro lyrics onto a very cheesey beat you would find on a cheap keyboard.along with some great piano work. Steven really likes to pound his skins hard in this one. Wayne will never be a great singer, but there is something about his voice that I just like. It sort of continues the theme of "Race For The Prize", about finding hope within your own personal struggles. Such an uplifting starts with a very uplifting melody with piano's, flutes, harps, clarinets, choirs and strings.just fabulous. Hope against hope." just signifies the whole feel of the song. Wayne sings "Upwards to vanguard where the pressure is too high, under the microscope. Every note and every word is perfect about this song. It basically tells the tale about two scientists that lay their life on the line, to save humankind, regardless of their own humanity. The song is so immediately gorgeous, with soaring melodies, Stevens signature huge drums and Wayne's unique expressive vocals. The music is adventurous, moving yet still has the playful and earnest nature of the bands previous records. This album shies away from The Lips' signature guitar pop weirdness, and paves way to beautifully arranged, pop music that only the same band can make.
