I walk in a forest inhabited by fairies, trees with strange distorted shapes, and paths increasingly intertwined in ever more unnatural backgrounds.
I have decided to fully get to know this forest even though the sun is setting, to understand where to find a way out of this strange land, I need to find a place to sleep, I see in the distance a small house from which a "grunge sound created with cellos" comes, interesting.
After knocking on the door, I am invited to enter the humble abode by three girls who seem to have stepped out of a Victorian and rocking era at the same time. I am surrounded by all the little animals that wander through the house, and I realize I have interrupted a small home concert.
"Please... continue playing your instruments... It sounded like pleasant music..."
"Alright, stranger. Anyway, we are Melora, Julie, and Agnieszka."
"Nice to meet you, Saturnina."
I sit down in the moss-green chair with a curious air, in the hope that it's truly pleasant music.
Melora delights me with her voice, Julie and Agnieszka with their cellos are no less impressive... Here come various increasingly gritty passages, purely grunge music followed violently by these almost animated cellos.
After finishing their mini-show, they invite me to dine with them, artistically gifted and also kind!
I sit at this carved table with a small purple ivy plant in the center, and I'm offered a truly exquisite dish: cellos introducing a sensual and sweet voice, sautéed in the course of the song until developing into a truly interesting chorus.
"What's the name of this dish?"
"Rose K... If you like the recipe, there are plenty of other dishes we could offer you like You Don't Own Me, Sign of The Zodiac, and Christian Soldier... Clearly, each one has a unique flavor, but, a basic recipe like what you've just tasted."
"I prefer to try all the flavors you have available..."
Here comes the second: a dish less sweet and melodic than the first, full of decadent effects and loaded with a rhythm that starts from the moment I touch this unusual recipe with my lips until the moment this whole adventure ends, an unforgettable aroma.
"This is The Olde HeadBoard, a good dish as interesting as TrenchMouth... A very good combination..."
Melora has cooked everything to perfection, the other two properly season the little masterpieces they've served me until now, reserving the dessert with jealousy.
A giant key-shaped cookie topped with an incredibly compelling melody, perhaps the best thing that's been offered to me.
"This is the key, How We Quit The Forest. It is one of the last recipes we have created..."
I have time to get up from the chair and find myself in my bed.
The key to leaving the forest has been found.
It was only a magnificent dream, too bad those three magnificent musical cooks weren't real.
I look in the mirror: why is my lower lip still smeared with chocolate?
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 The Olde Headboard (02:51)
What becomes a legend most?
I'll let you think about it,
Space Ghost coast-to-coast
While I give thanks today
For all the things I stole
And all the things I gave away.
You make experiment, you try to
Teach a lesson and then take a stand.
A fake handshake don't make no man.
I don't know about a year ago or so
I must have made you up in my head.
What did I base you on?
Was it a Broadway show I saw?
A hot new book I read?
Half-baked you come at me
You know I told you not to call here no more.
The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.
Yo no comprendo, mi amour.
Oh no, yo no comprendo.
The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.
Where'd you get the dumb idea
For all the secretive platonic dating?
I have experience
In the love and the lives
Of Man and Machine.
Yo no comprendo, mi amour.
Oh no, yo no comprendo.
The New Best Friend, The Olde Headboard.
What becomes a legend most?
The love and the lives of Man and Machine.
Olde Headboard.
The love and the lives of Man and Machine.
Olde Headboard.
03 You Don't Own Me (02:24)
You don't own me, no
I'm not one of your little toys
You don't own me, no
You can't keep me from those other boys
Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display
You don't own me, no
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, no
Don't tie me down, 'cause I'd never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
You don't own me, no
I'm not one of your little toys
You don't own me, no
You can't keep me from those other boys
Don't tell me what to do and
Don't tell me what to say
When I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
Just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young
I love to be free
I'm young
Yeah, I love to be young
I'm free
Yeah, I love to be free
Free to do whatever I want
To live my life the way that I please
04 The New Zero (03:40)
he's agreed
to take me
to the ice hotel from the magazine
what we will need
is a gleaming key
made of ice as well
by the finest ice machine
its there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers
its the past when the passerbys laughed
at your strange way of speaking
your batteries leaking
oh no
oh god no
they dont know
the new zero
oh god no
they dont know
the new zero
uniforms worn,
so leisurely
the reindeer skins
the privacy
how was he born?
he's asking me
flapping his fins
very impressively
its there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers
its the past when the passerbys laughed
at your strange way of speaking
your batteries leaking
oh no
oh god no (he has agreed)
they dont know (to take me)
the new zero (to the ice hotel)
i really dont care and neither does he
if this hotel melts into the sea
polished and so rarer, this way that we see
the coldness helps, its our favorite remedy
it is there that no one will stare
at your jaws and your long fur
the claws in your fingers
its the past when the passerbys laughed
at your strange way of speaking
your batteries leaking, oh no!
oh god no (he has agreed)
they dont know (to take me)
the new zero (the ice hotel)
05 Rose K. (02:48)
She doesn't know the man
Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand.
She just looks out to sea.
He's talking endlessly.
Oh, why won't he shutup?
I take my medicine
I crush the paper cup.
Oh, maybe he's my son
And he's come to set me free.
She knows that she forgot
That there's a story and she
Can't recall the plot.
Of course her family fought
Over the furniture.
Oh, I don't know why they
Have taken all my favorite things away
But one thing is for sure
I don't know what they were.
They say a stone is a marker
And that it has weight.
The say it's solid
But it can deteriorate.
The air is like a hand
Reminding her of all the things she's
planned.
Like air the thought is gone
never to come again.
We came out to the beach
To find the mind I've lost and cannot reach.
I used to keep it here.
It was much cleaner then.
They say a rose is a flower
and that it is red.
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
And then it is dead.
They say a stone is a marker
and that it has weight.
They say it's solid
But it can deteriorate.
They say a rose is a flower
and that it is red.
It blooms, it grows,
And then it is dead.
Oh, Rose Kennedy.
07 Sign of the Zodiac (03:47)
Do you believe in the Signs of the Zodiac?
Haven't you found that the systems for
Planning always fail?
Can you avoid what gave Daddy
his heart attack?
Have you tried everything, anything,
All to no avail?
I know what you need.
This will really work.
In ancient times, if you were sick,
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.
Look all around you and notice
you're not alone.
We want to give you the courage to
Go a different way.
Think of the love and attention
we all have shown.
What did we do when we heard, well, we
All came right away.
I know what you need.
This will really work.
In ancient times, if you were sick
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.
Do you believe in the Signs of the Zodiac?
I know what you need.
This will really work.
In ancient times, if you were sick
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.
Do you believe in the Signs of the Zodiac?
12 Things I'm Gonna Do (03:13)
Things I'm Gonna Do:
AGAINST THE LAW TO TALK ABOUT THE
ROCKET IN THE PARK I SEND IT
OFF TO BE EXAMINED BY A
SCIENTIFIC TEAM
ON THE MOON, ON THE MOON
ON THE MOON, ON THE MOON
I ORGANIZE A COUNCIL WHERE THE
PRIZE GOES UNANNOUNCED UNTIL THERE'S
IN THE TREES A CITY, JUST SOME
LEAVES WE LEFT IT PRETTY
LONG AGO, LONG AGO
LONG AGO, OH SO LONG AGO
I HAVE HALF A MIND, IT'S CRACKED AND BREAKING
IT'S RECOMMENDED AS GREAT FOR TASTING
SPIT IN THE FACE OF A TRIED, AND TRUE ONE
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DO
MY CAVE IS LIT WITH TINY LIGHTS
I CLIMB THE STAIRS AND CATCH THE SIGHTS
OF OTHER PEOPLE FAR BELOW
I'VE HEARD OF THEM, THEY THINK THEY KNOW
I MAKE NO FRIENDS, I'VE GOT NO SPARK
IN MY DEFENSE, I TAKE APART
WHATS' PUT TOGETHER EASILY
THIS IS ALL TRUE
I'LL MAKE IT BE
EVERYDAY, LIKE JESUS HE'S NOT
UP THERE HE CAN'T SEE US MAYBE
EYES UPLIFTED SLOWLY FOR AFFECT
THE LAND BELOW ME
FAR AWAY, FAR AWAY
FAR AWAY, OH SO FAR AWAY
I HAVE HALF A MIND, IT'S CRACKED AND BREAKING
IT'S RECOMMENDED AS GREAT FOR TASTING
SPIT IN THE FACE OF A TRIED, AND TRUE ONE
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DO
I MAKE NO FRIENDS, I'VE GOT NO SPARK
IN MY DEFENSE, I TAKE APART
WHATS' PUT TOGETHER EASILY
THIS IS ALL TRUE
I'LL MAKE IT BE
I HAVE HALF A MIND, IT'S CRACKED AND BREAKING
IT'S RECOMMENDED AS GREAT FOR TASTING
SPIT IN THE FACE OF A TRIED, AND TRUE ONE
THESE ARE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO DO
13 Diamond Mind (01:11)
I want a diamond, I really do I think that you should give me one Then you can prove your love is true And that the gift giving has just begun I want that diamond, I want that thing A tennis bracelet, a ring It better shine, it better cut I know it is expensive but... What other way can you make four months of your measely salary last a lifetime And what other thing have I ever asked you for Besides... The ability to read my mind And I didn't get that either, Yet I want that diamond, I want it so All of my irritating friends will know That I have worth, not only that But that you love me even though I'm fat I want that thing, I want it now I'll say it once, I don't care how you get it You can rob a store, There just is nothing I want more Than diamond jewelry for me And I'll talk louder so you see how very much it means to me! Even some little stud earrings Give me the goddamned diamond!
15 Watch T.V. (05:39)
I'm the lucky one
Always having fun.
I tie back my hair.
I sit and watch T. V.
I see only me,
Though I look for you there.
Oh, where have you gone?
Were you canceled?
I change to channel 2.
You were the one
Who gave me all my answers.
I changed
So did you.
Try another show.
With the volume low.
I make up what they say.
Where it used to be your face
Is an empty space
Your co-stars look away.
Oh, where have you gone
And do you miss me
And what we used to do?
You were the one
Who'd talk and smile for half an hour
Always new.
I'm the lucky one.
I watch a re-run.
It looks a lot like you.
One star lost a family
One family lost a star.
That's why I wait and watch
To find out where you are.
One family lost a star.
One star, they lost their family.
That's why I sit at home alone
And Watch T. V.
I can watch forever
I can watch for hours
It just get better
It gives me power
I can watch for hours
I can watch forever
It gives me pleasure
It makes me better
I'm the lucky one.
Always having fun.
