Atlas-Sound - Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel
"River Card" That Was Simply Based On-- I Don't Do This That Often But I Had Read This Collection Of Kind Of Modernist Puerto Rican Short Stories And There Was This Story Called "There's A Little Colored Boy At The Bottom Of The River". It Was About This Boy Whose Parents Lived On Some Kind Of Boat Like A Sharecropping Farm That Was On The Edge Of The Water. The Mother I Believe She Goes Off And Runs Away Leaving The Father Alone Who I Believe Kills Himself Leaving The Boy Just Living Alone In His House. He Keeps Looking Out Into The River And He Sees A Boy At The Bottom Of The River Which Is Obviously His Reflection. It's You Know The Age-Old Tale Of Narcissus. And He Falls In Love With This Other Boy. I Liked The Way That It Was Dealt With In The Story-- It Just Said He Fell In Love With The Other Boy. It Didn't Say He Wanted To Be Friends With The Other Boy Or He Was Lonely And Wanted A Buddy. It's Like He Fell In Love With The Other Boy You Know? It's Almost Like This Childhood Homoerotic Energy Which I Remember Experiencing And Relating To. Eventually Of Course The Boy Jumps In To Join His Reflection And Drowns. And So It's A Song About A Dead Child. - Bradford Cox

"River Card", that was simply based on-- I don't do this that often, but I had read this collection of kind of modernist Puerto Rican short stories, and there was this story called "There's a Little Colored Boy at the Bottom of the River". It was about this boy whose parents lived on some kind of boat, like a sharecropping farm that was on the edge of the water. The mother, I believe she goes off and runs away, leaving the father alone, who I believe kills himself, leaving the boy just living alone in his house. He keeps looking out into the river and he sees a boy at the bottom of the river, which is obviously his reflection. It's, you know, the age-old tale of Narcissus. And he falls in love with this other boy. I liked the way that it was dealt with in the story-- it just said he fell in love with the other boy. It didn't say he wanted to be friends with the other boy or he was lonely and wanted a buddy. It's like, he fell in love with the other boy, you know? It's almost like this childhood homoerotic energy, which I remember experiencing and relating to. Eventually, of course, the boy jumps in to join his reflection and drowns. And so it's a song about a dead child. - Bradford Cox Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
