reflections on “the people’s key” and “the king of limbs”
the people’s key:
1) unlike most other bright eyes albums, I actually really like the intro speaking part of firewall. especially when he says that hitler is an “asspokin’, charismistic, yeller” that is part alien/demon from another dimension.
2) there seem to be a lot of references to hitler throughout.
3) firewall is one of my favorite songs on the album, although “my veins are full of flat cherry cola” is a very unexpected line.
4) i also like ladder song a lot, especially the line “see now a star’s born, looks just like a blood orange”, because you can’t rhyme the word orange!
the king of limbs:
1) I do not like this album.
