"the sky is glass the sea is brown"
"when your troubled and you can't relax
close your eyes and think on this"
(2nd one is really first in the song)
what does maudlin mean? Anyway, they're abit wierd, and have tendencies towards 15th Century Retro...you know...they're Welsh and live in the mountains and everyone turns out a bit wierd when you do that kind of thing...anyway, Poodle Rockin' is undoubtedly their finest hour (sample lyric - 'When oxygen runs out you know we just wont care, we'll be like "throw that stick one more time over there"'...ooh it's a classic...anyway if you only likee loud music then go elsewhere, if you like Gregorian chant and 'experimental' whimsy and all that then Gorky's are for you...they are a good suplement to a heavier record collection, but if all you listen to is Travis etc then buy something worse...I had never heard of them until I did a google search on the line you asked about. I listened to a couple of their clips and they have an interesting sound, but it seems a little maudlin to me. Do you have an recommendations as to an album or song set I should listen to that you consider their best?

You can stand all night
At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing maries left and right
But none of them slow down
I seen the best of men go past
I don't want to be the last
Gimme something fast
Well, I had no clue about this one, so I resorted to that infamous tool of the "supposed" trivia whiz - Google. Handsome Family, Cathedrals. Apparently. I feel however that this thread has turned into a more quizzy topic than was originally intended...you knew those ones really, didn't you?Originally posted by VoodooDali

The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship, like the hand of God falling from the sky. 1,000 stone- carved saints hang like icicles, but icicles don't take 1,000 years to die. And everyone who ever worked on this cathedral or even spent a moment walking by, everyone of us is swept away like breadcrumbs. What comfort does it bring, soaring towers left behind? There's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin where kids race go-karts around a moat. Once we went up there in December when every waterslide and fudge shop was closed. Hoping to feel love under the icicles. All we did was drink in an empty bar. But, stumbling drunk we crawled back to our motel room and I fell against you and felt your beating heart. Snow was slowly falling on the ice machine and the moon shone hazy through the pines. But, there were lounge chairs thrown into the empty pool and a dog chained to a tree barking at the sky.
You are correct, sir! Or rather, Google is. Pretty amazing how easy it is to find info on the web.Originally posted by Kameleon
