lyrics
Seven years to the day
You found me in the ordinary way
Seven years to the day
You chose me and beckoned me your way
I was just a slave when they sold me away
But you cherished me as your steed
And for you I'd bleed willingly
Oh how I used to sing the anthems of my home country
Like a fish beneath the waves I knew liberty
Until those traitors came and I was led away silently
And in the grove and in the field
You broke me with an ancient skill
The rolling hills lead to quiet dells
Always
In the whispering mountain stream
You have spoken to me
Oh how I used to sing the anthems of my home country
Like a fish beneath the waves I knew liberty
Until those traitors came and I was led away silently
You stabled me
And harnessed me to a chariot of the king
The rolling hills lead to quiet dells
Always
You found me in the ordinary way
Seven years to the day
You chose me and beckoned me your way
I was just a slave when they sold me away
But you cherished me as your steed
And for you I'd bleed willingly
Oh how I used to sing the anthems of my home country
Like a fish beneath the waves I knew liberty
Until those traitors came and I was led away silently
And in the grove and in the field
You broke me with an ancient skill
The rolling hills lead to quiet dells
Always
In the whispering mountain stream
You have spoken to me
Oh how I used to sing the anthems of my home country
Like a fish beneath the waves I knew liberty
Until those traitors came and I was led away silently
You stabled me
And harnessed me to a chariot of the king
The rolling hills lead to quiet dells
Always

These guys are like Frank Zappa, Deerhoof, and Queen all smashed together into something fresh and citrusy.

Place Of Our Residence
by Cathedral PearlsStraight-to-the-point, perfectly crafted pop music. Also, shared past members (Max Harnishfeger).
go to album -
For all of its abstractions and math formulas Quaternions is pleasantly sprinkled with wry humor, general cleverness, reverence, and the magic vocal potion from Kid A (see Outside of Time).
