    I've been a fan of Blonde Redhead for coming up to 20 years now.
    It really makes me happy to see people, years younger than me, discovering them for the first time at roughly the same age I was.
    They helped me get through some tough times and hope they do you too.

    Saw them live when they opened for Tool the other night. First time hearing their music and I see why Tool chose them. They have a unique sound and her voice is absolutely enchanting. It was so cool hearing their music for the first time live like that. I wish I knew the songs they played I want to hear them. And they sound better live all the sounds and nuances are not detected as well on this version.

    Found this video a few months ago, after searching for the Rick and morty meme. This was suggested, and Blonde Redhead have been one of my favourite bands since. I love everything about this video, I love the camera, the art of it, the way it fits the haunting, beautiful eeriness of the song so well. It saddens me I’d not discovered them sooner, to be honest.

Now back to Elephant Woman to really bring me back to being 17 and heartbroken again. Weird af jumping off point for this kind of binge, and tbh I'm not even sure I wanted to revisit the majority of the songs I've sought out now... But hey, it's 2019 and here I am!

      This album is themed around the accident Kazu Makino (the singer) had the year before the album was released. She's a huge horse person and her horse threw her off and trampeled over her. She had huge parts of her face destroyed and had suffered brain damage. She had to relearn singing and had cosmetic surgery to restore her face, but she afterwards suffered from derealization and depersonalization.
      My guess is that this song is about her trying to start horseriding again and redeveloping trust into the animals.

    • @thebusinesswoman23
      @thebusinesswoman23 4 года назад +5

      I think, in my opinion, that she's trying to move on after getting burned by a love of some kind. She learned the lesson that love can be truly hurtful and traumatizing. She can't trust as easily and feels like it has become a complete foreign language to her. She knows the beautiful feelings that can come from love , maybe like she has felt in the past, but it feels so distant and she cannot seem to bridge the gap anymore due to her fear of getting hurt.
      Eventhough Blonde Redhead mostly talk about different facets of love (romantically) , there are definitely also many,many connections between this song's/album's theme and her horse accident.
      Additionally, to me, this song specifically utilizes the old adage, "if you fall of the horse, get back on and try again" . She has been scarred terribly by the "betrayal" by her horse and is trying to reignite her passion and the feelings she used to get from that close relationship and bond.
      I remember hearing how awful that whole accident was like 15years ago. So intense. Thank god she survived.
