Song Share: Banged and Blown Through

By Alex Madrigal

Saul Williams (or as he is known on this album… Niggy Tardust) is a poet/rapper/actor who collaborated with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails on this album (The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!). I first heard this song at a Nine Inch Nails concert where Trent covered it. I love the idea of the character in the song being a “broken instrument” begging the conductor to “bring out the song” in them. It also reminds me of Trent always referring to NIN as being a “Broken Machine.” I hope you all like the song.

Song: Banged and Blown Through

Artist: Saul Williams

Lyrics:

We are broken

Instruments.

Bust wide open

Smashed and bent.

Not what you’d expect

From these city streets.

Who serves to protect

The orchestra in me?

Conductor, conductor,

I feel electricity

Conductor, conductor,

Can you bring out the song in me?

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

We are broken

Instruments.

Bust wide open

Smashed and bent.

Not what you’d expect

From these city streets.

Who serves to protect

The orchestra in me?

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Banged and blown through

(instruments, instruments…)

Conductor, conductor!

Conductor, conductor,

Can you bring out the song in me?

Song Share: Kathy's Song

By Martin Gonzalez

So originally I wanted to give you a VNV Nation song, but this remix cannot be denied. I know I've already shared a song by Apop but I can't help myself.
I have spent countless hours slaving away to this song it just makes work so much easier when you have a good beat.
I hope you enjoy.

PS: I will bring forth a pure VNV Nation song, I just have to find the right one to share.

Kathy's Song (Victoria Mix By VNV Nation)by Apoptygma Berzerk



Lyrics:
In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form and void.
And darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And God said: 'Let there be light'
And there was light.
And God saw the light that it was good.
And God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night.
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold... it was good.
And God created man.
And man created machine,
And machine,
Machine created music.
And machine saw everything it had made and said: 'Behold'

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
You know me better than I do
I lost again, my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You knew it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me here...

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
And know me better than I do
I'm lost again my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You've known it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me here...

And machine saw everything it had made and said: 'Behold'

Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

(Please) Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one...

Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

(You know I'm not a saint...)

You know I'm not a saint...
You know I'm not a saint...

And on the seventh day, the Machine pressed stop...
