Rousseau

your username makes me want to kill myself.

I'll tell you one thing about this song -- Cleophus is Rob's cat.

Yeah it totally is about a character on Lost, crazy how Pinback wrote a song about that character 6 years before the show first aired. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

Also, Hurley came out in: 1998 And Penelope in: 2002 Lost first aired: 2004

Get a better theory.

Anyway, really cool song, I was wondering where the samples are from and after some research found out it's from Dark Star, also apparently where they got their name from.

They've said in an interview that they threw darts at a map of Europe to come up with the song titles for the first album.

swell stuff.

lol, my last name is Rousseau, that is so rad a song with my last name in it. lol, but i don't really get the song. can anyone tell me what itz about, i'm not good with metaphores or figuring out songs, unless they just right off the bat tell u what the songs about. i'd also have to hear the song.

the line. "but i can sense a faint dis interest, although my levels are all fucked up.." so good.

They are pretty soulful. Something about the rolling line, 'something wrong with my soul' sort of disproves itself by reminding me of Marvin Gaye.

I hate to ruin it for you lost fans but this song is Not about lost. There are many clues that prove against that point. First, Cleophus is the name of a serial killer from California. Cleophus Prince Jr. He was arrested and moved to a state prison in San Diego, where the band is from. It is my personal belief that the band was around the trials and therefor were influenced in a strange way by it. Lyric such as 'Roomsick Man is easy now Arrested day. Awake in grey Bedsick Man I read somehow Once he was full. He's empty now'... indicate the capturing of Cleophus.

About Dark Star, yes it is where the band got its name. If you listen to other pinback songs you wil hear different samples of that same movie. Not to mention the lead in the 1973 space thriller goes by the name of Pinback.

in history class, we're studying Europe from back in the 1500's and so on, and Rousseau, Seville, and Versailles, they're all places and people. Seville was where Christopher Columbus pretty much killed/enslaved all the Native Americans. Versailles, King Lous XIV built it, and it's this big elaborate castle that nearly put Europe in debt. And Roussaeu is a political philosopher from the Enlightenment of Europe.

crazy.
