Hey buddies..
Today's song is No One Knows by Queens Of The Stone Age.
This song has an almost hypnotic feel... God, I love this band. They kick major ass! The whole album is pretty awsome, but this song stands out, I think.
Theres a part of the song that really reminds me of The Beatles "A Day In The Life" just before the bass solo, the way the music seems to crash in an explosion of different sounds very similar. Know what I'm saying?
What about Josh's voice? Makes me meeeeeelt. And Dave's drumming? Absolutely wicked, he just goes mental on the drums.
Anyway, I also like the music video. Though I'm kinda dissapointed how Dave didn't play a bigger part in the video. How come you don't get to see Dave get whacked by the psyco deer or get his head hung on the deer's wall? Baaah. Plus, you get to see a mental deer sleeping with a plastic model and yard gnomes, everything you could want from a video!
As for the lyrics meaning, I admite I had to do some research, 'cause I had no fucking clue what this lyrics were about. And after reading some opinions, I got to know that Josh Homme said in a live performance the following: "This is a song about Devil worship". I guess that after knowing this it acctually makes sense.. E.g. the first verse could be reffering to how stupid he thinks organised religion is.
To conclude... Dave and Josh are mmmmmmm, so hot *faint*. Don't you think Josh looks like Elvis Presley? (but slightly better) LOL
Lyrics:
We get some rules to follow
That and this, these and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick in your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
I journey through the desert
Of the mind with no hope
I found low
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
Come undone
Pleasantly caving in
I come undone
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift can be love
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
No one knows
P.S: Josh and Nick are the only permanent members of Qeens Of The Stone Age, everyone else plays as guests, usually for an album or tour. The band has very much a revolving door policy.
