    I actually really enjoy that TGSP3 was added to this. You have all these songs that are collectively about death, especially Theories, which symbolizes that death can happen at any moment and life will go on without you, and to follow that up, we have a song that screams "Live life while you can". Very nice tie up.

    • @Beem0b0t
      @Beem0b0t 7 лет назад +10

      Especially with that jarring ending to Theories that lines up perfectly with the start to TGSP3? Gives me chills every time. I want to hear him ensure his dad's memory that he'll do right by his own kid, but... it never gets said.

    I like how clicking the album brings you to the album on iTunes, it was a nice add. With all the pop-up links people put on their videos telling people to subscribe or like or whatever it's nice to see you just support the artist.

    • @aperture102
      @aperture102  7 лет назад +6

      Well that's why I made the video. I tried to add more stuff that lead to his pages but there were certain restraints which wouldn't let me.

    • @aperture102
      @aperture102  7 лет назад +4

      One of the restraints being myself, because if something doesn't look appealing to the eye then I just delete it (i.e. a white box around Watsky that leads to his website. I should have done that but it wouldn't look good).

    • @brianhause367
      @brianhause367 7 лет назад +6

      Yeah I gotcha. Well, I think it's awesome what you did.

    • @aperture102
      @aperture102  7 лет назад +6

      Well I didn't even really do anything. I just put them back to back. That's why I don't take credit for it or ask for subs. Besides, I couldn't care less if a million people watched it and I didn't gain a single subscriber, I'm just happy people are watching it.

    • @brianhause367
      @brianhause367 7 лет назад +3

      Thanks for that though. Like there's so many people who did less work then you but are so self righteous that they think they need millions of subs. Like a breath of fresh air

  • @PatrickOliveras
    @PatrickOliveras 7 лет назад +25

    I think Theories is a story about how we shouldn't sweat too much about life, that not having a very tight grip on it ain't so bad, as illustrated by the story arc of George's dad.
    Enjoy it's flow, despite the intense desire to control it.

    I still remember hearing these songs live in 2016 in Boston with my dad and just crying the whole way through and him looking at me with concern and having to explain it was happy tears.
    6 years later I keep coming back. sometimes the tears are happy. sometimes it's sad. I'm just glad this exists.

    Theories
    Arthur stepped off, yeah he stepped offa the chair
    Couldn't weigh a hundred forty pounds
    And the rope snapped yeah the rope snapped
    And then Arthur found himself looking up from the ground
    Looking up, looking up, found things looking up
    Looking up, looking not so down, no not so down
    No knots don't have to stay that way
    No, not so tightly wound
    What a lovely thing it is to fail
    To release those grasping fingernails
    Arthur thought the end was near
    Then Arthur played for fifty years
    And then my father walked down 8th and 57th street to
    Carnegie Hall, yeah it was Carnegie Hill
    The show was past sold out for weeks
    But they said "if you don't mind, if you don't mind sitting on stage
    Sometimes we release a couple seats"
    Twenty feet, twenty feet, yeah my dad's twenty three
    Tweet feet 
from the hands on the keys
    Yeah, the hands on the keys of a man with the hands that almost didn't exist
    That almost didn't exist to see
    Back in 97 when Dad was my chauffeur
    He'd play radio and I'd try to guess the composer
    Chopin sprinkled over the hum of the motor
    When I was young never I'd doubt my composure
    Everything's kosher, man I was so sure
    I'd say that I'm good
    Don't want no adulthood
    I never understood
    Couldn't get how anyone would ever want to end to their life
    Until the day that I could
    I've heard it said we're alone in the ether
    That we're the only intelligent creatures
    So you don't need to adjust your receivers
    If they were out there they'd be texting us, hitting our beepers
    Invading us on some alien Julius Caesar
    Or begging "take me to your leader"
    But I got a theory it's neither
    That there's a billion brilliant alien planets at leisure
    Smoking alien reefer
    The evolution of the mind's not the hunger to conquer
    Or to want or to seek or to wander
    Or even wonder, but to simply to be
    Until we cease to be any longer
    There's nothing wrong with heavy eyelids
    I hope you enjoyed my twenties as much as I did
    You'll never know how much that all of you provided
    And I'm gonna try to do the same for

    Roses
    Don't let my ghost drag you down
    If you don't see me around
    It doesn't mean that I fell
    Yeah I'm doing well
    I got some roses to smell
    I hope you smile when I'm gone
    It means I had the strength to move on
    To find another story to tell
    To answer the bell
    I got some roses to smell
    When magic's happening my habit's been coiling up a memory and trappin it right
    In the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cabinet might
    But you won't hold onto a shadow just by grabbing it tight
    Set it free and let it back in the light
    Never out of my heart, even when out of my sight
    Leaving is sposed to be hard
    Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love to keep falling out of my life
    But now I know
    No I don't take it personal
    If you got a really lovely place to go
    I will chase my goals yeah, to make me whole
    Cause it's urgent we love and be loved
    I've begun to scrub up with detergent to shine up my soul
    Don't let my ghost drag you down
    If you don't see me around
    It doesn't mean that I fell
    Yeah I'm doing well
    I got some roses to smell
    I hope you smile when I'm gone
    It means I had the strength to move on
    To find another story to tell
    To answer the bell
    I got some roses to smell
    Cause every screen the we tap is screaming that bigger is better
    Better is how you make yourself matter
    But matter is fleeting
    Am I living to feed a machine that I'm blind to see?
    No point in hiding my pride if there's no privacy
    I've already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get my followers up
    And crying out for attention
    And sleeping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me
    Knowing well that it don't mean shit
    Going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit
    I'm done being a bitch to ambition
    I'm already rich
    I got a head that's full of million dollar questions
    And the length of it
    Is I don't need the courage to work
    I want the strength to quit
    Don't let my ghost drag you down
    If you don't see me around
    It doesn't mean that I fell
    Yeah I'm doing well
    I got some roses to smell
    I hope you smile when I'm gone
    It means I had the strength to move on
    To find another story to tell
    To answer the bell
    I got some roses to smell

    Conversations
    I remember vividly
    My tears dropping on the grey carpet on
the top step
    Pops giving me his best guess
    Me confessing the burning question stressing 
and concerning me and
    Turning me to
a wet mess
    It's probably nothing
    I get it, I'm aware
    I know it's probably stupid to be scared
    But these days are flying past us and nobody seems to care
    It's like we're sprinting towards a brick wall we're pretending isn't there
    What happens when we hit it?
    Do we split into a million bits
    Or do we come back as a bullfrog and talk in ribbits?
    What is it? 
What is it? What is it?
    You got the answer so give it, so give it, so give it
    Don't lie, what happens when we die?
    Dad says, Georgie I'm just guessing from what I've been told
    Probably thinking, "How'd I raise this emo fucking nine-year old?"
    Since I'm sorta really not religious it's a crapshoot
    I roll a pair of dice
    Although the thought of paradise is very nice
    In my heart I know I don't believe in magic
    So I'm thinking maybe death is like eternal TV static
    Or returning to the state before your birth
    Absorbed into the earth
    The fewer hours left the more they're worth
    I admit that it's difficult to think about
    I think everybody got a little bit of doubt
    You don't get to hide from it even if you shout
    Not a soul on the planet gets to wiggle out
    And he said that I know that's it's tough to take in son but it's so early
    I can see you're in a hurry but don't worry cause
    That isn't for a long, long time
    That isn't for a long, long time
    That isn't for a long, long time
    That isn't for a long, long, long, long time
    Life moves fast
    Made the mistake of blinking, twenty years passed
    Now I'm sitting in my living room in Brooklyn with father
    We don't bother doing Christmas in the Bay any longer
    It's first time that we've had this conversation
    He says "It's tough to take in
    I know we're not quite ancient
    But we've reached age where we should probably talk arrangements
    We could take it several routes
    We could sell the house
    We can't work forever, eventually money will run out
    That's a spot taking a loan would help
 us cover
    Which would make it tougher to leave something for you and your brother"
    Stop, can't you see?
    Every meal that you paid for me
    All this power to chase a dream
    All this privilege not to crave riches
    But it's plain to me the key
fact is it's easy to act like cash means jack shit if
    You never lacked it
    And the greatest honor I could have is to make a buck 
and pass back a
    Fraction of all the happiness you gave to me
    And I will never make you live where you don't aim to be
    Age is just data
    We paint our story A to Z then dip out
    R.I.P. rip out, we tear out the pages
    Tear up the stage and we take a seat
    Making a vacancy
    Famous or not, we fade from the plot
    Every day when a new night falls
    I ride around the sun on this big blue ball
    I get a bit further from the kid called Paul
    And I get a bit closer to the big brick wall
    But since inching up to that fence
    I can run my fingers against
all the bricks and mortar and sense
    That it's not so cold and so dense
    And although I'm mournful I've known that I'm not immortal
    I'm not banging into stone but I'm more heading through this portal
    We're born to return to home we're all born to be mincemeat
    Everything dies except for Papaya King hotdogs on 86th St
    Dad hands me a napkin tells me it's been the same since the fifties
    He didn't always love the city but dammit he'll miss me
    How can you miss something after you leave, I agree that it's sad 
but please
    Don't dwell on it Dad, because
    That isn't for a long, long time
    That isn't for a long, long time
    That isn't for a long, long time
    That isn't for a long, long, long, long time

    Tiny Glowing Screens Part 3
    Nothing matters... so it doesn’t matter if nothing matters
    And while you be, be true. And if you won’t fuck you.
    Burn your clothes open the wine, close your eyes freeze time.
    You're officially welcome to grab your crotches
    Synchronize your watches and pour us a couple scotches
    People still as statues can't catch you, turn pockets empty
    If they're packed with plenty move some to ones lacking any
    while I take a crack at hacking the bank to jack em to cover high debts
    You're screening floating bullets with a butterfly net, if there's any screaming
    pause it and cut out sound, deposit the slugs underground
    I'm positive that we don't fuck around
    no we go scooping up the diesel that's leaking a sinking tanker
    forever stuck at anchor like beetles get stuck in amber
    halted like the thaw of the iceberg that shoulda sank her
    halted right beside the temperature spike and the spread of cancer
    and all my peoples' engagements and babies my friends are making
    We quit getting lamer, days quit getting later, life quits being labor, quick-
    you should come through to our party, dude bring your crew bring your an army
    youth is inside of the heart, the future can never harm me
    We're never tardy (freeze, freeze, freeze)
    Late or early don't worry we'll wait cause we're in no hurry to see the pearly gates
    I sit outside and watch the pigeon shit and tiny airplanes hanging in the sky and then I
    hit a McCartney show and trip off how his arm is superglued to his guitar and then I
    enjoy the lovely view and stand there for a month or two, my headphones looping Love Me Do on repeat
    Paul might not die if we try to wall off this diorama, we'll buy all the time we want and then spend it all to
    Move this crowd-to join as converts to the church of blessed concerts and then conjure up some conversation
    Yes, I'm proud-my country is my heart and so in every combination we all rep a common nation
    That is how-I know that all we lepers and we shepherds join together now in holy congregation, everybody
    Stop right now!
    I want to hear the church bells ring
    I want to see the fog roll in
    I don't mind the muddy water
    I don't mind the ocean wind
    Show me I'm alive right now
    Even if you gotta prick this skin
    Open up your eyes [x4]
    Some days I throw my hands up like this shit right here is hopeless
    but today I throw my hands up like this shit right here's the dopest
    I'll never sew my family's holes up saying hocus pocus
    So I focus love on what is whole and chase my magnum opus
    There's so much more life before I leave this skin behind me
    Right now I'm feeling finer than Aaliyah in the 90s
    Yeah, today I'm feeling firmly like my faith could never burn me
    like I'm apt to move that mountain just by glaring at it sternly
    Then San Francisco used to seem bigger than Jupiter
    From the view of an atom, the human body's a universe
    how impossibly big it be this symmetry
    this brutality and beauty and synergy
    and beyond what we'll live to see, I know nothing limit me
    just take everything ever, and we are that times infinity

      @aperture102  8 лет назад +83

      Well, Lovely Thing Suite is collectively about death. It ends abruptly because death can come at any moment, whether you choose to or not. The subway track plays after it cuts off, which symbolizes that the world goes on with or without you. It is also the same track used at the beginning of Tiny Glowing Screens, Pt. 3 to make the whole album loop times infinity.

    First time I listened to "Conversations", I though he said "Or do we come back as a bullfrog and fuckin' ribbit" instead of "talk in ribbits"

    Not sure what you did to the audio, but this doesn't sound right. Something's off. Like the bass is too high or something.

      Yea, I really can't figure it out. Playing the track on xInfinity and then this, it just sounds off. Not sure why. Made sure my PC wasn't doing any weird equalizer crap, but it's all set to basic. I could just be crazy. Definitely wouldn't be news to me.

      Cody Werklund Ableton Live may have warped it at some points. Not quite sure.
