    "This song started from a dream and I stayed at the Drake Hotel in New York with a girl named Randi N --- I had a dream about her and a group of other girls (Randi and the Pyramids) and the kids singing. He was a kind of astronaut, but with all the psychological aspects of a sailor. There are two interesting things about this song. The first is that it was made in a circular fashion: the main part of the song is a sequence of three chords that moves around a pattern of four meters something like this: 1231, 2312, 3123, 1231, 2312, 3123 etc. This means that the song is always pushed in a peculiar way. There are two hidden guitar phrases at the beginning of the track that give the game. The guitar solo at the end is also circular, but in another sense there is a special treatment on the guitar that makes it rotate in and out of phase. If you listen to it in monophony you will find that the guitar continues to disappear. The circular effect is louder on the headphones.
    ... The other weird thing about this song is its involuntary relationship with Cabala. I discovered long after I wrote the song that the number 801 means "Alpha and Omega" or "the first and the last" in Cabala and that this entity is a circular idea (beginning and end are identical) It also means 'dove' which I like ... The number 801 (which with all the rest of the chorus was taken unaltered from my dream) has another meaning that I find interesting. In Cabala the twenty-two Tarot cards are arranged so that they rest on the paths between the Tree of Life. Each of the paths has a number and each of the numbers corresponds to one of the cards in the Tarot Grand Arcana. Paths 801 describe a pyramid whose individual sides are the STRENGTH, FOOL and the MAGICIAN .
    "... Obviously the reputation in America is that 801 comes from Eight, Nought, One [Eight, Zero, One] whose initials mean .... I thought very ingenious , although it had never happened to me '' From Brian Eno's notes

    • @maddomeep2905
      @maddomeep2905 2 года назад

      I think Eno's track Energy Fools The Magician may be referring to this same 801 sequence of tarot cards... Strength, The Fool, The Magician

    I have loved this song for a long time. But it wasn't until about a year ago when listening to it after a particularly memorable late night for me that I decided it was THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME. BY ANYONE. EVER. And I still feel that way. It has so many great "parts" to it... so many ideas in one song and they work so well into a cohesive, concise masterpiece. And the guitar work and percussion from about 3:09 until the end is just incredible. I just wish it would keep going and am always a little disappointed when it fades and ends. That being said, it is still the greatest. There, that's my two cents. Nice video, by the way. Thank you.

      evan, i heard(and loved) this when it first came out. and i agree that it is, in fact, the single greatest song that has ever been conceived. i have kept all 4 of "those" albums in constant rotation for 40 + years now. hasn't grown old yet!

      When Rykodisc released Hardcore Devo Vol. 1 & 2 in the early 90’s, my boss at a flower shop in New Orleans saw how exited I was to finally own clean versions of those Devo gems, and figured right in introducing to Taking Tiger Mountain. The True Wheel has been my absolute favorite song ever since. Every single time I hear the two guitars building up to the final verse I get goosebumps ! Best song ever.

    We are the 801
    We are the central shaft
    And we are here to let you take advantage
    Of our lack of craft
    Certain streets have certain corners
    Sooner or later we'll turn your.
    We are the 801
    We are the central shaft
    And thus throughout two years we've crossed the ocean
    In our little craft
    (row, row, row)
    Now we're on the telephone
    Making final arrangements (ding, ding)
    We are the 801
    We are the central shaft
    ...
    Looking for a certain ratio
    Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
    Looking up and down the radio
    Oh, oh, nothing there this time
    Looking for a certain ratio
    Someone said they saw it parking in a car lot
    Looking up and down the radio
    Oh, oh, nothing there this time
    Going back down to the rodeo
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, here we go!
    ...
    We are the table the captain's table let's get it understood
    Let's get it understood
    ~
    We are the losers we are the cruisers let's get it understood
    Let's get it understood
    ~
    We are the diners the final diners let's get it understood
    Let's get it understood
    ~
    Most of us are tinkers, some of us tailors
    And we've got candlesticks and lots of cocktail sticks
    ~
    We saw the lovers the modern lovers and they looked very good
    They looked as if they could
    ~
    We are the neighbors the nosy neighbors we think just like you would
    We think just like you should.
    Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh...

I have an LP credited to 801 (apparently a name Manzanera used for his touring band). It's live. It's got Eno as a band member. They play some Eno, some other stuff...some covers.

    I confess to being unaware of Eno's "pop" works until seeing, in an early collection of Roxy Music video and other footage, film from when "Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch" was being recorded. That led to HCTWJ, and later TTM(BS), and 801. Marvelous stuff.

    One thing I can't help but noticing is the WA State Hwy sign of 801 (the black & white sign with a silhouette of Geo. Washington and the highway number in it). I've lived in WA State almost my whole life, but I've never seen or heard of Hwy 801 anywhere in the state. It might be an old road whose name was changed or something when I was too young to remember.
