lyrics
Little box that translates air
You speak to us from everywhere
In Mama's kitchen, Daddy's car
You painted stories, brought us stars
to light our way
We never had to read it in a magazine
Didn't have to see it on our mtv
We heard it on the radio
Of all the things we learned at school
The things you taught us always ruled
So many minds that you control
Dear box, where will you lead our souls
Never had to read it in a magazine
Never had to see it on our mtv
We heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Lift us up when we're down
in the cities and towns
help us flow
You're mainstream, you're underground
Turn a life unprofound into a show
But do you come from God
or don't you know ?
Never had to read it in a magazine
Didn't have to see it on our mtv
We heard it on the radio
Little box that translates air
You speak to us from everywhere
You speak to us from everywhere
In Mama's kitchen, Daddy's car
You painted stories, brought us stars
to light our way
We never had to read it in a magazine
Didn't have to see it on our mtv
We heard it on the radio
Of all the things we learned at school
The things you taught us always ruled
So many minds that you control
Dear box, where will you lead our souls
Never had to read it in a magazine
Never had to see it on our mtv
We heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Lift us up when we're down
in the cities and towns
help us flow
You're mainstream, you're underground
Turn a life unprofound into a show
But do you come from God
or don't you know ?
Never had to read it in a magazine
Didn't have to see it on our mtv
We heard it on the radio
Little box that translates air
You speak to us from everywhere

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

A Love That Leads To War
by Aquarian BloodOn their latest for the great Goner Records, Memphis group Aquarian Blood reinvent themselves, delivering a batch of spectral dark folk.

Out on the line
by The Blue HighwaysThe slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse.

South African punk legends Ivan Kadey (National Wake) and Warrick Sony (Kalahari Surfers) team up for an album of rousing folk-rock.

Disheveled Cuss
by Disheveled CussBig, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums.
