Katie, your dad is one of my biggest influences as a player, especially on this song and Heroes. Please tell him I said thanks for all the life-changing music!
Nearly 25 years later and who knows how many listenings, I still haven't tired of Thunder and Consolation. What an incredibly raw, powerful album by an amazing band....
Lyrcs: "Well, we know what makes the flowers grow, but we don't know why And we all have the knowledge of DNA, but we still die We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand So we rush towards the Judgement Day, when she reclaims A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off How do we tell the people in the white coats Enough is enough? Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone You and I we made no suicide pact, we didn't want to die But we watch the wall, little darling, while the chemical trucks go by This desperate imitation, now, of innocence Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come Hey, hey, she will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone Now beneath the fitted carpets, beyond the padded cells Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth she dwells And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part Desire is just a part, the cracking ice, the splitting rock." In Portugueese: "Bem, sabemos o que faz as flores crescerem, mas não sabemos por quê E todos nós temos o conhecimento do DNA, mas ainda assim morremos Estamos tão magros e frágeis aqui na terra E a terra que se move abaixo de nós, não entendemos Então corremos para o Dia do Julgamento, quando ela recuperar Um brinde aos mártires luditas que morreram em vão No laboratório eles ainda estão trabalhando, terminando Como podemos dizer às pessoas de jaleco branco Já é suficiente? Ei, ei, eu ouço você orar como se alguma ajuda viesse Ei, ei, ela vai dançar em nossos túmulos quando estivermos mortos e desaparecidos Você e eu não fizemos nenhum pacto suicida, não queríamos morrer Mas observamos o muro, querido, enquanto os caminhões químicos passam Esta imitação desesperada, agora, da inocência Aqueles últimos dias em Jonestown não têm nada a ver com isso Ei, ei, eu ouço você orar como se alguma ajuda viesse Ei, ei, ela vai dançar em nossos túmulos quando estivermos mortos e desaparecidos Agora, sob os tapetes, além das celas acolchoadas Dentro desses crimes passionais, a verdade nua e crua que ela habita E essa fúria é apenas uma parte e esse trovão é apenas uma parte O desejo é apenas uma parte, o gelo quebrando, a rocha quebrada.'

The greatest and most criminally underrated band ever

Lyrcs:
"Well, we know what makes the flowers grow, but we don't know why
And we all have the knowledge of DNA, but we still die
We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land
And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand
So we rush towards the Judgement Day, when she reclaims
A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain
Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off
How do we tell the people in the white coats
Enough is enough?
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
You and I we made no suicide pact, we didn't want to die
But we watch the wall, little darling, while the chemical trucks go by
This desperate imitation, now, of innocence
Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
Hey, hey, she will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Now beneath the fitted carpets, beyond the padded cells
Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth she dwells
And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part
Desire is just a part, the cracking ice, the splitting rock."
In Portugueese:
"Bem, sabemos o que faz as flores crescerem, mas não sabemos por quê
E todos nós temos o conhecimento do DNA, mas ainda assim morremos
Estamos tão magros e frágeis aqui na terra
E a terra que se move abaixo de nós, não entendemos
Então corremos para o Dia do Julgamento, quando ela recuperar
Um brinde aos mártires luditas que morreram em vão
No laboratório eles ainda estão trabalhando, terminando
Como podemos dizer às pessoas de jaleco branco
Já é suficiente?
Ei, ei, eu ouço você orar como se alguma ajuda viesse
Ei, ei, ela vai dançar em nossos túmulos quando estivermos mortos e desaparecidos
Você e eu não fizemos nenhum pacto suicida, não queríamos morrer
Mas observamos o muro, querido, enquanto os caminhões químicos passam
Esta imitação desesperada, agora, da inocência
Aqueles últimos dias em Jonestown não têm nada a ver com isso
Ei, ei, eu ouço você orar como se alguma ajuda viesse
Ei, ei, ela vai dançar em nossos túmulos quando estivermos mortos e desaparecidos
Agora, sob os tapetes, além das celas acolchoadas
Dentro desses crimes passionais, a verdade nua e crua que ela habita
E essa fúria é apenas uma parte e esse trovão é apenas uma parte
O desejo é apenas uma parte, o gelo quebrando, a rocha quebrada.'
Still the business - after all this years since I first heard this masterpiece!
"Thunder and Consolation" is an absolute masterpiece.
My first one...1988...16 years...London....from Bremen...
Can we go back..please
Still as relevant I wish it wasn't and my God what a song x
Clássico do rock alternativo
How’d I even get here. But man. This is rad.
You should listen to more. They definitely have something to say.
Try ‘The Hunt’ or any of another hundred... 🤘🏻 amazing band
That’s how I found this band, I listened to a lot of Sepultura and finally learned that song was a cover.
so beautiful.
Kicking song.
Robert Heaton's drumming was superb.
How the _hell_ am I only now discovering NMA??
Maybe your a "looser".....🤔🙄😜😜😜😜😜
How do we tell the people in the white coats enough is enough, is enough, is enough.....
Lyrics are now more important than ever. Climate change is going to eliminate every social structure.
I listened to NMA a week ago. I can’t listen to anything else
