My Favourite Song (In This Moment)


I like very bands and very songs, but my favourite song in this moment is "Goliath" by The Mars Volta... Well, is may favourite band... I can't deny it... I heard it the first time in January when I downloaded the album "The Bedlam in Goliath" I waited the album for 3 months. To understand the album lyrics of the album, have to read the story of the band before the album... The guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez gave a present to his friend, the vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala. The present was like an ouija. This ouija showed different characters (one of this characters was Goliath) that forced the members of the band to do things that led to bad luck, like the loss of tracks recorded, the Flood of the recording room, etc. So they decided to bury the ouija to never know it.


They play different kind of music, like free-jazz, post hardcore, hard rock or progressive, very psychedelic, with great complexity in their execution. But this song sounds like funk. The sound of the guitar reminds me like the guitar of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine). the sound of the drums is the best of the song, a powerful sound. The album have 11 songs more. This album had the participation of John Frusciante of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's one of the best albums that I heard.


The lyrics have great complexity but are sometimes a little vague and I doesn't understand, I like most is their music.


Listen it! It's a very good album...


Here is the lyrics


Goliath - The Mars Volta

That night I remember what you slipped in my glass
We came rewinding when
I foamed at the mouth while the lights winked at me
And now my shape is kept
The rain it can't hide, wash the pain from this hex
Is it so permanent?
Did she catch a left eye when it blinks three times
Or once just to seal you in?
In your drunken breath did it stain like us
In place of poison heat?
I gotta rid this world of your intention
Swap the corpse in the casket

Give me that corpse please
The one that tore nightly
I really want it now
Fold the arms slowly
Don't want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove
Does he make you feel alright?

When I seep inside your truth through suspicious little coughs
You sank your nails inside a key while the door you shut closed up
The black stockings you kept smell of wet cigarette
Torn of lust that you could not keep
I have slept inside your fault to have you keep me here on this leash
For the rest of your pets I will feed to this theft
As we consummate the vows of defeat
And when you pray for an end to this I do believe this is eternity

Give me that corpse please
The one that tore nightly
I really want it now
Fold the arms slowly
Don't want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove
Your closet is bulging
White marrow withholding
Does he make you feel alright?

Give me that corpse please
The one that tore nightly
I really want it now
Fold the arms slowly
Don't want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove
Your closet is bulging
White marrow withholding
Does he make you feel alright?

Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before
Watch me now

Say it, say it, say it loud
Say it, say it, say it loud
Hold your heavy burden
In a pocket full of drink that I have drunk
Spit the remnants in your direction
This is the closest to any kingdom that you will come

I'm starting to feel a miscarriage coming on
It's numbing a stump clearing in my throat
And I just can't lose grip of it
She fumigated my mental hygiene
I'm all out of pulse but I know you can resuscitate me

Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before

Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before
Watch me now
