The fact that this was turned down for other albums just says all you need to know about Robert Pollard. He must right hits (in a perfect world) in his sleep. Two minutes of pure, perfect, pop.
Guided By Voices/Bob Pollard > The Beatles all the way could you imagine how great they would’ve been in the 60’s and 70’s and if they weren’t an underground band? Bob would’ve been the biggest hit maker in rock history
## Trust Them Now How can I trust you I'll help you if you're off the stuff Such energy you're fountain and are all good things not just enough for When I (call out to you? I will?/are well worth??) Nothing else to measure Your attic trash from buried treasure Horizontal monsters Arising up for selfish pleasure Hearts are not alone, they're to be found(??) So how do you trust me The ultimatum never flies Discussions are inadequate How do you know the wind has eyes Like so many God's creatures and like All balloon animals Deflated, slowly losing speed Like all the worlds around them Like kings and kingdoms still not seen (Their) filthy toxic visions be destroyed It's Every expectation for a boy to find happiness, but not joy Trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them now How do you trust them The hourglass or the fisted glove (??) Sent through the fingers emptying For loved ones that you did not love (/know?) and Do not trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them Trust them now Trust them now
That hourglass line has bugged me since the song came out. I believe it's "the hourglass or the fistic glove". Fistic is an adjective meaning "related to boxing". Gotta love how Bob's lyrics enhance our vocabulary!
Robert pollard is the greatest living song writer. A true genius
Best band in the world
GBV’s nonstop output during Covid has helped me survive this awful time.
Me 1000

Aye brother, aye
Both Bobs ( Mould and Pollard) are peaking in front of our very eyes (in their early 60's ) !
Fucking crazy to see both a Bob Mould and Robert Pollard fan
"...and like all balloon animals, deflated, slowly losing speed..."
GBV FOREVER!
This makes me want to run as fast as I can
To the record store?

This song surpasses everything that we know as rock and roll. Thank you Robert.
Great song.
Guided By Voices/Bob Pollard > The Beatles all the way could you imagine how great they would’ve been in the 60’s and 70’s and if they weren’t an underground band? Bob would’ve been the biggest hit maker in rock history

To Bob be the glory
## Trust Them Now
How can I trust you
I'll help you if you're off the stuff
Such energy you're fountain
and are all good things not just enough for
When I (call out to you? I will?/are well worth??)
Nothing else to measure
Your attic trash from buried treasure
Horizontal monsters
Arising up for selfish pleasure
Hearts are not alone, they're to be found(??)
So how do you trust me
The ultimatum never flies
Discussions are inadequate
How do you know the wind has eyes
Like so many God's creatures and like
All balloon animals
Deflated, slowly losing speed
Like all the worlds around them
Like kings and kingdoms still not seen
(Their) filthy toxic visions be destroyed
It's Every expectation for a boy to find happiness, but not joy
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them now
How do you trust them
The hourglass or the fisted glove (??)
Sent through the fingers emptying
For loved ones that you did not love (/know?) and
Do not trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them
Trust them now
Trust them now
From attic trash to buried treasure
Discussions are inadequate
(I think that's what I hear)
That hourglass line has bugged me since the song came out. I believe it's "the hourglass or the fistic glove". Fistic is an adjective meaning "related to boxing". Gotta love how Bob's lyrics enhance our vocabulary!
@@Jeremy-th5pt From Attic trash to buried treasure makes so much more since. But, can we Trust Them?
Well it kinda sounds like Your attic trash from buried treasure... almost like you stored buried treasure and now it's just trash
@@mercmcguirk Absolutely, all those coquets with their echolalia.
When I listen to Bob, I am inspired. Yeah, inspired to keep my day job.
💓💓💓💓

GBV's nonstop output during this fake pandemic has help me survive this awful time.
