Hervatski.com – A little bit of everything. And Unicorn.

There’s the fucking video.  Let me start by saying that the lead singer is oddly ugly.  Like he looks normal, then you see his face real close, you get scared.

I know the video is from the Smother’s Brothers show, but who cares.  It adds to the creepiness of the song.  yes, the song is scary, listen.

First you got some very dreary sound with a guy singing in a very mellow, almost magical way, like a siren call into an island filled with weird looking dudes.

Then it gets all peppy and shit!  Nope, now we got that weird 60′s musical instrument and it’s 1/2 cheery and 1/2 dreary.  That drum beat sounds like the drums of death coming to take you back to work because you escaped and your work actually HIRED a grim reaper to get you back to work.  Listen you don’t fuck with WalMart, ok?  Then it’s happy again.  The same drum turns all up beat, the song is FUCKING with you.  It’s luring you in.  It’s confusion is your downfall!

The guy keeps singing about how no matter what, you and him are together.  He’s singing about DEATH.  Seriously!  Listen!  What’s the one thing you cannot avoid?  Is it love?  Is it romance?  No, it’s dying.  He’s actually upbeat that you’re scared of your own demise!  He’s singing about how beautiful it will be to be reunited with you!  “The only one for me is you, and you for me.” that’s creepy.  Then he just starts singing random sounds, that’s what a CRAZY man does!  Just random noises!

Then he just says “How is the weather?”  Imagine a very depressing scene, the end is nigh, and here’s this scary man looking back at you saying he’s so happy to be with you over and over again and then he gets closer and says “How is the weather?” as you go off into the distance!  SPRAY HIM WITH HOLY WATER!!!

Man, it really is a very dreary song.  It makes you sad and depressed, then happy, then the whole weather line comes along and you finally buy into the whole thing and you’re not scared anymore.  Death basically tells you that dying is no big deal with the interjection of the weather line.  Like, “What?  You’re worried about…huh?  Don’t be afraid, oh, how is the weather?” and you’re not scared anymore but you do have to wonder why the singer has a weird discombobulated face that you want to love, but also don’t want to stare at.

God bless.
