time stopped

when you said hello

when you left

the clock began to breathe again

now all I do is think about

the puzzle that remains

your name it is unpronounceable

distorted and illegible

I never figured out what that was

If I couldn’t then I doubt I ever will

rewind the tape, review the blur

never the same, but still obscure

turn up the sound and hear the white noise

zoom and enhance if that were even a

real thing

which it isn’t

stare at the static long enough you’ll

be hypnotized be hypnotized

now I spend

my days and nights

looking at

a depression on the sofa

and over time it flattens out

but I am still depressed

your name it is unpronounceable

distorted and illegible

I never figured out what that was

If I couldn’t then I know I never will

rewind the tape, review the blur

never the same, but still obscure

turn up the sound and hear the white noise

stare at the static and be hypnotized

found

found your sound

wound down and nearly drowned

lying on the ground

your name it is unpronounceable

Made me think of this:Allen: What is your name?Madison: It's hard to say in English.Allen: Then just say it in your language.Madison: All right. My name is...[High-pitched squeals that shatter all the television screens]Allen: [nervously to the store clerks] So, how about those Knicks?

Hands down my favorite song off Glean. And in all honesty, Officially one of my top 5 all time favorite TMBG songs easily. Problem with said top 5 is: I love them all and can't really seem to put any one over another. But all 5 listed are: Ana Ng, Unpronounceable, Don't Let's Start, A Self Called Nowhere, and The Bells Are Ringing. With a pronounced shout out for their first 4 albums which are near and dear to my heart and always will be :-).

this is outstanding! I wonder how the Johns have been able to write and record such clever and unique music for so many years without any decrease in quality. Its like they're never going to run out of Ideas.

I listened to this before watching the video. I thought my MP3 player was glitching out during the bridge. Well played, TMBG!

Both this and Erase are deserving of becoming singles for Glean.

Who was the person who made this? I looked for ITWST & I can't find the person (or group). Ali Mohammed maybe? In any case the video is amazing!! Kudos!

Song's fantastic, but I still can't stand how John doesn't say the "o" at the end of "hello" in the first line.

Esra, Isaac, Zoe, Michael, Malik, Phoebe, and Antoine are some of the names in the glitchy part
