This sounds similar to the coincidentally named song "Providence" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Weird huh?

thank you for posting. i miss daydream nation... i miss those days when that album was so shiney and new... this is my favorite piano piece, ever.

TheStreetster

I bought this album when it first came out and have only just found out what the dialogue is about. I always presumed it was some kind of emergency services radio chatter to some terrible incident! Ha, ha! A lost guitar lead?!! Genius to compose such a haunting piece around such a mundane event.! Love it!

Matt Little

I love these kind of songs. Like Hole's "Starbelly", atmospheric with and without meaning.

Anthony Monaghan

ha ha ha buttlord! That's the best insult I've heard in a long time. F**k school, keep doing this, I think your film's great. Anthony.

Osthropek

you're blocked, buttlord. congratulations, i've only ever blocked one person before.

Osthropek

It's actually just a sound collage rather than a song, consisting of Lee's amp overheating, some piano improv by Thurston and a message left on the band's answering machine by Mike Watt. He called regarding some guitar cables that Thurston had misplaced and he found them in a plastic bag he'd accidentally thrown in the trash. Nothing deeper than that, really

Someone please tell me the actual meaning of this song, because I've read the lyrics over and over again. it sounds to me lika a sad, beautiful song, but I don't know what it's about

Robert Paulson

Even though I know what the song is about; I made up my own little story for this song: it makes me think about an old man or woman who's family left her/him all alone, and this person's memory is really bad, to the point where the person doesn't remember most of anything (or short term memory loss), and he/she just waits for someone to call, just so he/she knows someone cares, and without answering, the person just lets the call go straight to voicemail, and then resumes being lonesome.

I don't think this is a "filler track" at all. It really sets the mood, and is quite beautiful. Really reminds me of something Godspeed You! Black Emperor would do

@DubstepWubWubWub Filler track? It's one of the best tracks on the album. With respect, in my opinion etc. ;D

MrIamSamIam2

Isn't it? I think the "instead of studying for my maths exam" might've helped, tho.

Osthropek

@MrIamSamIam2 funny how one man's crap can be another one's treasure. thanks, I guess

MrIamSamIam2

I love this vid so much I just voted it as my favourite YT-vid on the Silver Dubber's channel lol! ;D (I don't really have a fave, but is'd be up there).

@DubstepWubWubWub Fitter Happier by Radiohead is better I think. In terms of "filler tracks". Still, great 'filler track".
