What sort of pressure and what kind of force
must there have been to drive you here?
Was it uplifting or was it deformed?
Faulting and rifting, you folded.

What does it feel like to fall
in slow motion despite it all?
There's no time to think it through
when we're connected over the blue.

Everything is moving so fast.
I am unlimited.
Everything is moving so fast.
I am unlimited.

What sort of wisdom and what kind of thought
must here have been to scatter you?
So far and random, your heavenly bodies
still see the faint light in your eyes.

What does it feel like to fall
in slow motion despite it all?
There's no time to think it through
when we're connected over the blue.

Everything is moving so fast.
I am unlimited.
Everything is moving so fast.
I am unlimited.
Everything is moving so fast.
I am unlimited.
Everything is moving so fast.
I am unlimited.

Exactly how I heard it in Sunday School! 😄

Presumably the country is Iceland?
My personal "Mondegreen" is when I hear K D Lang sing "Constant craving", I hear "Cant stand gravy"

This one sounds like "I am a lunatic"
Lovely and mellow..

Those are called "mondegreens" The term was inspired by a misinterpretation of the line "They hae slain the Earl o' Moray and laid him on the green," from the Scottish ballad the Bonny Earl of Moray. Countless English schoolchildren sing this as "They have slain the Earl of Moray and Lady Mondegreen."

Just caught the mondegreen chuckles.  I laughed at those.  My memorable one (only since it got so much air time)  "Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap" as "Dirty Deeds, Thunder Chief".  For the longest time, I tried to figure out the INDIAN connection, 'til someone finally pointed out that there was none.  A former girlfriend lived with me for almost 2 years before she finally admitted her mondegreen was Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" She always heard "Hold me closer Tiny Dancer." as "Hold me closer Tony Danza".   I still get a chuckle every time I even think of that song.




Back in the day, a friend of mine interpreted that lyric as "Dirty Deeds, Thunder Cheese." Makes even less sense than "Thunder Chief." The mondegreen that I clung to for years was the opening line to the Grease song "You're the One that I Want," -- "I've got shoes, they're multiplying" Yes, I knew that made no sense.

Omg.  My older brother also sang "Thunder Chief" up until I corrected him a couple years ago.  Wow, I really thought it was only him.  Cheers!

My baby is the Queen of the Mondegreen! E.g. Creedence Clearwater Revival's "There's a bathroom on the right." (bad moon on the rise)




For years , when I heard Bob Seger sing "You always won..." in the song Still the Same, all I heard was "Walrus one...".

and there's the common mishear on Blinded by the Light ("wrapped like a douche" instead of the correct "revved up like a deuce")

That was a really fine segue.  The Byrd's "My Back Pages" (one of my very favorite trippy Dyalan songs) melded into Great Lake Swimmer's "Everything is Moving So Fast" so smoothly it seemed a continuation of "Back Pages".  Same beat, same key, or did my head do the match when I was momentarily distracted?

The Main Mix has become my close companion lately.  It's a lot more listenable (my tastes fed) than I remember it.  For lack of something a fraction this good, I'd fallen into the musical doldrums and seldom switched anything on.  Gotta say, I'm loving.  No joke, it's improved my mood.  Kudos.

I have to say that Cat Stevens and Peter Gabriel still make me reach for PSD.  And as much as I like some of the foreign language tunes I don't think I'll ever enjoy songs where I don't know what's being sung (except for good scat),  they make me wish I was pan-lingual.  I'd settle for bi-lingual, but the UC couldn't pull it off.

Checked the lyrics.

OK, that changes things a bit.

That's all I've ever heard.
I love the sonic space supporting the terrific bass line on this recording, esp. in the 1st couple of bars.  I don't know if there is a "proper" way to describe that, musically.

Never heard of them but I'm loving the sound of this. Love the album cover!
I like the sound of this band, surprised their not more popular? 
Thanks once again RP for introducing me to another excellent and very underrated band!

I just realized why I like this song.  It has a "future games" sound to it.  That's a good thing.

Oh, that knocked me out of laughing :D
 
 wouldn't ever confess even to knowing such a mondegreen. Although, you could argue, it might qualify as an eggcorn.

Love to expand my vocabulary  with in-vogue words.  Thanks.
Just a lovely song, regardless of mondegreens (or corneggs, which I've never heard of.)

They make a good effort toward putting space-time into perspective. Makes me want an OMT (One More Time) button that would allow listenears to replay a finite number of songs — just for the giggles, finite number. Fixed number, too. We already have 0 cornered, though.

Of course since I wrote this the province of Quebec voted in a provincial government that has separation as one of its party platforms. Not something that they are pushing on current agenda but c'est vraiment fou.

I'm an American, and I spent a few weeks in eastern Canada, where English was not the first language - I told them I couldn't speak French, and they were awesome. I agree - I've never met a Canadian I didn't like. And I have a couple that I wish I could reconnect with, because they helped me through a very scary time. I'd heard the stories about how Americans were idiots and the French-speaking people were haughty and not willing to help dorks like me... But I got there, and to a person, the people in Toronto and Montréal were helpful, friendly, and warm. I have NO bad to say about them. They were so cool to me, the stupid American who didn't speak French. If I had to pick a place to live other than where I am now, I think Montréal would be second. Finland or Denmark would be first, but only because I have a friend in Finland and  relatives in Denmark.

And, to pull this subject back onto the music - I love this song because of the haunting vocals. This, like Fever Ray, haunts my dreams. I don't sleep very much, and even when I can sleep, it's not for very long. I'm told that a fragmented sleep is detrimental to good health. Feh. I'm healthy. Just not very articulate when it comes to posting things here...

I don't know about that, Cynaera. I thought you just told us yet another stellar, little anecdote about a time in your life, spurred somehow by the music you've heard and we all are sharing here (RP). I'm a Torontonian myself, at least since '75, and I love to visit Montreal. So, it does my heart some good to hear your kind words re: my fellow Canadians, and that you found solace here when needed. All good stuff. We can never have too much of that! There are, after all, bastards lurking everywhere, most often, only if we give them reason to be.

And as for this song...never heard it before. Love it! The harmonies grabbed me. Go figure, I have to listen to an American internet radio station to discover a song by a group from my own back yard (so to speak). Gimme more, Bill!

This along with Sun Kill Moon that was just played is one of those groups that is perfectly fine in small doses, but to listen to more than 2 or 3 songs like this is DEPRESSING!{#Sleep}{#Sad}

You can have Justin...  The more I hear about him, the less I want him representing Canada.  As pop stars go, it could be worse, I guess.

Somewhere, Lorne Greene is snickering at that notion, while sipping a Labatt's.

I gave this a 9, but I never commented (dang, I seem to do that a lot!)  I love the haunting background vocals. I love the mood this song inspires in me - it makes me want to write  Oh - wait, there it is.... I have a story.  Gotta go.... {#Bounce}

"Everything Is Moving So Fast"? Not on this song, which is aural anaesthetic and could be described as moving at a snail's pace if that weren't misrepresenting molluscs. Time for bye-byes...{#Sleep}
