lyrics
We went out on the road today
And the sky was full of tears
And each small town looked so blue
And they seemed to ache for better years
Then my cell phone started ringin' wild
Like a fire alarm from hell
And when I picked it up a sad voice said,
"It's time to ring that golden bell"
And I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
Yeah I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I've been causin' all this rain
He said meet me at Joe's diner
Where Route 6 meets 88
Well I arrived at the appointed time
But Buddha said, "you're runnin' late"
We both ordered an espresso
From the owner's new machine
And as the jukebox played Nirvana
He said, " ignorance is mean"
And I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
Yeah I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Buddha said the twelve gates wait for you
And creation's in travail
Waiting for us all to see the light
And restore what we have failed
The waitress said, "hey you want a refill?"
But Buddha said, "there is no time"
"There's three seconds left to zero"
Then that white light stole my mind
And I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Help me stop the rain...
We've been talkin' to the Buddha
And the sky was full of tears
And each small town looked so blue
And they seemed to ache for better years
Then my cell phone started ringin' wild
Like a fire alarm from hell
And when I picked it up a sad voice said,
"It's time to ring that golden bell"
And I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
Yeah I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I've been causin' all this rain
He said meet me at Joe's diner
Where Route 6 meets 88
Well I arrived at the appointed time
But Buddha said, "you're runnin' late"
We both ordered an espresso
From the owner's new machine
And as the jukebox played Nirvana
He said, " ignorance is mean"
And I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
Yeah I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Buddha said the twelve gates wait for you
And creation's in travail
Waiting for us all to see the light
And restore what we have failed
The waitress said, "hey you want a refill?"
But Buddha said, "there is no time"
"There's three seconds left to zero"
Then that white light stole my mind
And I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
I was talkin' to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Help me stop the rain...
We've been talkin' to the Buddha

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.

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.
