Lemon Demon - I've Got Some Falling to Do
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2009
- In an airplane, I was flying.
Just a flight attendant guy.
I can be clumsy, and I stumbled
Out the door into the sky.
Now I am falling through the air.
Wind and regret flow through my hair.
All I can do right now is stare down at the ocean.
Suddenly, theres a ring in my cell phone. I pick it up.
Its the Angel of Death, and he says Wazzup?
I say, What is it this time?
And hes like, Well, hello, goodbye, Ill see you in hell.
He can be like that sometimes, hes such a nut.
So I snicker and say, Id love to, but
Gravitys calling, Ive got some falling to do.
Im in a state of shock, but its something new.
I guess it all depends on your point of view. Its true.
This is boring. Yes Im falling,
But its taking quite a while.
My destination is impending.
Might as well go out in style.
I put my arms out to the skies,
Whistle a tune and close my eyes,
Trying to briefly realize perpetual motion.
Suddenly, giant tentacles rise from the open sea,
And with total precision they lasso me.
Its a monstrous squid and he saved my life,
But I am too freaked out to be nice.
So I tell him the truth, that Id rather fall.
No offense but at least its predictable.
Gotta stop stalling, Ive got some falling to do.
Im probably gonna die, but its something new.
I guess it all depends on your point of view. Its true.
shampoo bottles be like
And then a deafening splash.
Oh God, my shampoo bottles have a cellphone and have the contact to the angel of death?

I did the math and you could listen to this song in its entirety on your way down if you fell out of a plane at the higher end of cruising altitude

I like how Neil's character in the song is literally on a first-name basis with the angel of death
wait you mean you aren't having daily conversations with the reaper? huh, weird.
@@snow-ld8yx lol
He can be clumsy.
Well the character never says their name, they just say “the angel of death”
He's a good guy, a little dead inside, and he seems like he sees ghosts, but he's a chill as bones guy.

sorry to break the chain but what is this comment supposed to mean?
I tried to save him guys I promise he just told me he wanted to die
*relatable*
Damn it's alright bro at least you tried 👍
You know what you tried
ok lol
Understandable
I really like how this song goes through the stages of grief so thoroughly. I mean, you've got:
1. Acceptance
2. Angel of Death
3. Shock
4: Acceptance
5: squid
6: Acceptance
and
7: Acceptance
8: Guitar Solo
*s q u i d*
And one more acceptance.
Squip
whoa man you forgot acceptance
A person, assured of the existence of the afterlife from a friendship with Death, takes their demise in stride.
only have death denied to him by a giant squid
He wants to go to hell?

People are talking about the guys comment to Death himself and the massive squid but what about that door that was just casually left open on a moving plane?
I agree, who just *does that*
_dont worry guys, he's just clumsy_
Yeah, it’s perfectly fine!
He was so clumsy, he ended up opening the door and falling out.
He just bumped into the door and it opened
i love how he says "im in a state of shock" in a completely monotone voice
This song is about this guy's thoughts after falling out of a plane, I hope it makes more sense like that
But it's something new!! ^^
@@Not_Tails ik but he just sounds pretty calm for a guy falling out of an airplane tbh. even if its just his internal monologue
@@n30ngvtzz77 I guess it all depends on your point of view! :D
@@Not_Tails its truee
I feel like the “I’m clumsy” part was a lie. Considering how chill he was with The Reaper on the phone and that he asked The Squid to let him fall, he probably jumped.
also since he said ''wind and R e g r e t flow threw my hair''
Nah his entire body just slipped
@@paw9122 Nah he was like "oops" then wrote out his last will opened the door and jumped
Yeah probably
Oh no...

can we appreciate how the majority of the songs in this album bleed into eachother
how
Pop opera
It's the ultimate "what if we combine this song and that song and change the lyrics" (for example this song is awfully similar to The Cures "Lovesong" just as modify is almost identical to Lene Lovichs "Lucky Number") (DISCLAIMER: I actuall love both of the songs very much and even if they are heavily inspired or some kind of mashup from the other 2 that I mentioned changes no fact that they are still awesome to hear)

@@superoriginalusername. then I’d think you’d have some falling to do
holy shit the solo at the end is a palindrome i never noticed
if you dont want to download and reverse it's really obvious at around 2:50, midway through one of the guitars cuts out and the other reverses the melody
it's really cleverly masked too, because it overlaps by two beats, which even if it was being played forwards would be felt very differently
thats freaking cooL!
Someone explain please
@@genericprotaganist5042 it means it sounds the same normally as well as reversed.

2:12 when he said *ˢᵗᴀʟling*
i felt that
deeper than the ocean he was falling into
i accidentally clicked on your profile when i was supposed to click on the timestamp and _y e a h_
Oh hi
knowing how he had death's contact number saved on his phone and that death greats him with "whatsup?" i am lead to assume that this isn't the first time they've met...
or they're just dating. who knows?
Neil x the grim reaper???
Flirting with death?
Neil is also taako
I mean, dunno why there was an or. Them dating also implies they've met before.
@@BalrogQuote yup. That's why Niel says "what is it this time?"
My favorite thing about this song is that if you played it while falling out a plane, there's a high chance you'll actually hit the ground when the song finishes based on the average distance commercial airplanes are off the ground (between 30-40k feet) and how many units you travel down per second (200 feet per second).

this song fits too well i love it
Do I sniff a magnus archives reference?
hell yeah
omg yes
I have been scrolling forever looking for this comment
The riff at 0:05 and 1:17 is sick af actually, like one of those bits that sounds so so good that it almost seems unfair to be from a comedy song. I feel like ive heard it somewhere before tho
wait this is comedy?
NutritionDNCE “it’s the angel of death, he says wazzup” seems like comedy
also the by about the giant squid
You guys think this is comedy? I always fall out of a plane say wazzup to the angel of death and see a giant squid save me but don’t care so I die but I don’t die and avoid death once again instead of going to hell
Tabitha Baird it can be easily taken as a metaphor, squid guy = someone trying to help (therapist or something) , death guy = well, death. And it’s about someone who’s falling downhill
TrashcanMan that’s cool but it’s probably not what they intended it to be, remember this is the same guy who made a song about trucks having sex and another about where’s Waldo
Why to love Lemon Demon:
1. He is funny
2. He is epic
3. He is Neil
4. He is Lemon Demon
5. You can blast his music throughout your house
6. This song exists

If Neil wasn't extremely stoned while writing the songs for this album you can color me surprised
Count me as well, this song feels like what it must be like to take every class A drug and then have a piano comedically fall onto you.
You realize that some people are just creative, right? Experimental art has nothing to do with drugs, lol
I love that he's OK with everything happening right up until the squid saves him THEN he freaks out, once he's obviously safe.
That's a vibe right there tbh.

i listened to this on loop for 6 HOURS DURING A CAR TRIP.
i consider this one of neils best
this is the song that got me into lemon demon as a whole.
its just so good. the lyrics are so good and the instrumental is FUNKY.
10/10. theres nothing else i could rate this masterpiece of a song.
this is actually what got me hooked on him a few months ago lol i was travelling to vermont and between this and aimkids animations i played LD nonstop the whole trip, even in the hotel lol
how.
you listened to it 104 times on that car trip
Okay but can we just appreciate the line “wind and regret flow through my hair”
tragic events in history: neils death
when jumping out of an airplane, he forgot his parachute and fuckIGN DIED
True story btw
i understood that reference
this is weirdly nostalgic to me even though i literally only heard this just a few months ago
reminds me of neil's other music from around that time, like the ultimate showdown
Pathetic. I got nostalgic for Mario Odyssey before it even released.
Me when I fall of a plane but realize it's a lemon demon reference
Ok so basically
a flight attendant with a friendship with the grim reaper falls out of a plane and awkwardly denies someone saving his life

I bet the angel of death has a lot of nut
this is such a silly song why does it instill such a sense of existential fear in me
bro if this guy was able to sing for 3 minutes and 26 seconds then that plane was probably REALLY high up.
The squid catched him, didn't it?
Now is the most appropriate time to say "I'm probably going to die but it's something new"
Ahhh 2020
Ok but what if the guy’s in an endless loop after falling out of the airplane, like he talks to death, gets bored, gets saved by the squid then the squid chucks him back up to start over again
what if he chucks him back into the airplane
and that's why the solo at the end is a palindrome O_O
Nice musical palindrome, Neil.
elaborate? o:

You are an unending spring of human creativity... I don't think I've ever heard music that was more up my alley than whatever all of this is
Fun fact: To sing this entire song while falling you would have to be 865868ft in the air!
that's a shame, since most commercial airlines go just above 30,000 feet-
Did you account for the time Neil spent talking to the squid though?
@@chloefoundpie6013 also depends how high the squid threw him up in the air though (i am assuming that's what happened)
@@blueleoz I always imagined the squid just harmlessly dropped Neil into the ocean and he just floated there reevaluating his life.
I think your math is wrong. It should be around 40,000 feet. You might have forgotten air resistance. Terminal velocity with air resistance is around 1,000 feet every 5 seconds.
adding this to my “songs to skydive to” playlist
This song is so...bizarre???
Like:
1. why the heck was an airplane door open?? Or did he just phase through it???
2. He just casually talks to the Angel of Death over the phone and the way he talks to him implies they're just. good friends? somehow???
3. The way he says "What is it this time?" could imply so many different things, all of them weird and nonsensical
4. why did a giant squid save him
5. How does the squid UNDERSTAND him
6. Somehow he wasn't scared by the fact that he's falling to his death but a giant squid? Terrifying.
7. The lyrics are so wacky but it's such a good song
8. For some reason it has a strange feeling of nostalgia even though I've never heard anything like this song until recently. Why
I do not understand
This is what makes this song so special.
Welcome to the world of Neil Cicierega songs lol
I used to listen to this song on loop a few years ago and I forgot how good this song is. It brings back so many memories I didn’t know I had

@@Matthew-sj2kp hell yeah dude
@@IcyNewbs not just a different mix, it's a completely different version recorded in a studio with the Lemon Demon live members (neil + alora and some others)
a commercial airliner will fly at around 36000ft
the terminal velocity of a human body in a spread out belly to ground position is around 120mph
the first 1500ft are covered in 12 seconds since that's the distance it takes to reach terminal velocity
120mph converted to feet per second comes to 176
(36000-1500)/176=196*
196+12=208 seconds
the length of this video os 3 minutes and 26 seconds (but the first second is silence so we don't care about that)
this converted to seconds is 206 seconds (edit:205, I forgot I didn't care about the first second)
