I've always thought it said "sweet little meth" not myth lmao I mean YEARS I've thought this. It fit so well in my lifestyle at that time and I think I'll keep it as it resides in my head
This may sound weird, but this band is almost unheard of in the UK. It's only through a housemate who often worked in the US and introduced me to them that I do tbh. But I love this album so much. I'm particularly stoked by the fact that both 'Psych' and 'Castle' used Super Bon Bon in their episodes... Let the man go through, let the man go through...
2:14 I love this moment so much when the track gets more layered but its done in such a subtle way that doesnt draw attention to itself. Just amplifies the melancholic, roadtrip to nowhere kind of vibe this song has.
@@mandymacdonald5094 Most of my early exposure to music was through movies, so now I always have an image or scene in my head when I listen to a song I like. Listening to your favourite music and conjuring up an image in your head is a really good practice if you are into any creative arts, I highly reccomend.
This song found me while I was in absolute hell grieving my fiance who died 11 months ago. Ironically, she was born in Wichita. Was the first time I'd listened to music because every song reminded me of her and traveling all over America together.
Did you grip her love like a driver's license? Have you seen Babylon? Do you dream of where you've never been? Take to the road, son. Let the airwaves pull your eyes towards heaven.
The closest thing to a perfect song there is out there if they could escape the tempo change towards the end it would be a perfect song in my book. I skip or rewind as soon as that tempo change nonsense takes place. Discipline, gentlemen!!!
Such an incredible song! When I was in 5th grade (I'm 32 now) we played a game in school where we all wrote down what artist(s) was our favorite. Then we had to pick out of a hat and guess who wrote what and I wrote soul coughing. Nobody got it lol.
I just was talking to a friendly stranger who thought I said Soul Coffin was my fav band.. typical! 😄 Feels good to get got though, even from the comments of yt
Ahh the 90s, when you could be just as weird as you fucking wanted. Soul Coughing- didnt doesnt wont sound like any other band. Not everything needed to be fit in a box back then.
Lyrics: Signal got lost to the satellite Got lost in the Rideup to the Plungedown Man sends the ray of the electric light Sends the impulse Through the air Down to home And you can stand On the arms of the Williamsburg Bridge Crying Hey man, well this is Babylon And you can fire out on a bus To the outside world Down to Louisiana You can take her with you I've seen the Rains of the real world Come forward on the plain I've seen the Kansas of your sweet little myth You've never seen it, no I'm half sick on the drinks you mixed Through your True dreams Of Wichita True dreams Of Wichita Brooklyn like a sea in the asphalt stalks Push out dead air from a parking garage Where you stand with the keys and your cool head of silence While you grip her love like a driver's license I've seen you Fire up the gas in the engine valves I've seen your hand turn saintly on the radio dial I've seen the airwaves Pull your eyes towards heaven Outside Topeka in the phone lines Her good teeth smile was winding down Engine sputters ghosts out of gasoline fumes They say you had it, but you sold it You didn't want it, no I'm half drunk on babble you transmit Through your True dreams Of Wichita True dreams Of Wichita Punch it I got, uh, fed I got, uh, too much things on bounce, uh, my head I got to burn 'em up I got to burn 'em uptown I got to go uptown, uptown I got a thing I got a little bit pushed Got to stand on the corner and bellow for mush I got a bomb I got a baby bomb bomb Got to stand on the corner and bellow for my friend Tom I got a thing, I got to thing it I got to thing Team I got to run my side True dreams True dreams True dreams Of Wichita True dreams True dreams True dreams Of Wichita <3
I lay on a bed with a few friends in a room on holiday stoned and freestyled on this song with a guitar and returning to the chorus from time to time, softer and softer til everybody was asleep. They all loved going to sleep that way they told me.
This whole album is so good. Do I want people to be addicted to heroin? No. But all those artists that we enjoy, they use drugs. Lots. It's their choice and they channel the experience to positive ends. I guess its OK, as long as they don't suffer.
This song just makes me picture sitting in a field, some time in fall or winter, where the air is just warm enough you can bear it, just before the sun truly comes up, the entire skyline a beautiful greyish blue.
I'm from a little town right outside of Wichita...eldorado. This song resonates with me so much now. Just moved back to my small town after living in Wichita 3 years (biggest city in Kansas) even tho it's small it was my first taste of city life. I've been beat the fuck up from that shit but I want more.
Lived in Wichita, KS for almost a year. Made some life-long friends there, met some of the most genuine, honest, kind people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. Wichita will always have a special place in my heart.
70k bought this album, but over 300k have enjoyed this song on RUclips

If you like soul coughing you should listen to Mike Doughty's solo stuff. The song Fort Hood is really good
I love Wichita
I saw them play this in 1997 - 17 years old and hooked for life

I was so confused about your description, I'd never heard anyone speak about a song like that. I listened where you mentioned, and I get it now.

And you can stand on the arms of the Williamsburg bridge crying hey man this is Babylon describes America perfectly huh
0:14 Start here
The bass and the voice would have sufficed.
j'adore
That's crazy 🙏♥️🤘
God help me .
🙏
@@MelonHead1848 thank you
@@sarahdueybanks hope all is well.
This song is what it feels like when you smoke way too many cigarettes and go to work early in the morning to be stuck in traffic.
Proud KC native here. This man is an underrated icon to the city. Why he hasn’t collaborated with Tech at this point is beyond my grasp
Oh wait I forgot about Angel Of Death
Does anybody know where the recording comes from at the beginning? The "I don't even know where the fuck I am."?
Such a beautiful song..
To live and die in wichita I guess

That was her, she sent it to you ❤

have to agree. maybe i just don't get it but it takes away from the rest

I'm feeling nostalgic and kind of crybaby about this song. Literally every word makes me weep.
Hahaha I love that guy saying in the song "where the fuck i am"

love this beat <3
Thank you!
Second only to Janine.
Can't argue that
@@MelonHead1848 M. Doughty, the greatest 90s era poet. Been listening to them since 92. I see you have good taste in music.

You are an awesome fellow!

Couldn't say it better myself.
I think they end up suffering tho

I’ve been getting this song randomly caught in my head while trying to fall asleep lately
Not a bad song to have stuck in your head.

Just moved back to my small town after living in Wichita 3 years (biggest city in Kansas) even tho it's small it was my first taste of city life.

I just drove through Wichita about 6 hours ago. Wish I got to look around. I listen to this song every time I pass through
Nada mal esto me gusta
Saw them live in a tiny club in Richmond in the mid 90s. Life hasn’t been the same since.
That girl on the cover is my aunt
So good.
Classy voice to such a vulgar, lewd story with gross details and an annoyingly loud trumpet... gotta love it 👍🏼
Love these old school vibes
melonhead please come back
Still working on it man! Hopefully by September I'll be out of the mountains and making beats again! Thanks for the support
It was like travel across the univers

Your beats are so sick I've heard every single one in one day you need to comeback
