Marissa Nadler - Drive

That concept shows up in the last Matrix movie, and now I’m watching Fincher’s Gamma... it’s the exact same thing there.

My apologies, who could have possibly guessed :/

Somehow, I found myself thinking about this today

Just a little something upbeat to wrap up the weekend

Blink, blink

I’ve always had a soft spot for this track, and now it feels even more relevant. It’s got that Cold War vibe... spy games behind the curtain... pure pro-Soviet sentiment... 😁 one big nuclear threat.

They hit us with nukes; we hit them back with sentiment and guns... 🤣

edit: combining this song with Bowie’s famous Warsaw captures that hopeless, gray Cold War feeling perfectly. The 70s, the 80s...

Except Bowie’s stuff sounds dark, monumental, and post-apocalyptic... totally devoid of hope. But that’s because he was coming off a high, wandering right along the edge of the Iron Curtain... inside and out...

To help give some context to this track
I'll tell you an old fable from the steppes

Those with strength and nerves fight all day long
Those with strength but no nerves just argue endlessly
Those with both nerves and brains are the ones in command
Those with brains and strength light the Olympic flame
And those with strength, brains, and nerves? They make adult films

unnamed, metaphysical
unnamed, metaphysical
unnamed, metaphysical

But if you have the nerves, yet lack both strength and brains
The deceptive dice will surely pull you in
If you have the brains, but lack both strength and nerves
Then you're nothing more than a failed poet
Poetic sorrow is just too much to bear
It’s got plenty of rhyme, but absolutely no sense
None at all

And if you have no strength, no brains, and no nerves whatsoever...
...then you are the true unnamed, metaphysical essence!

unnamed, metaphysical
unnamed, metaphysical
unnamed, metaphysical

unnamed, metaphysical, existing beyond any reality
It cuts through the steel of logic, bends it, and reshapes it with ease

unnamed, metaphysical
unnamed, metaphysical
unnamed, metaphysical

good morning! 😁 A little bit of good old rock and roll to lift the spirits in these murky times. unnamed, metaphysical ))

The whole thing is so filthy, it’s honestly beautiful.

unnamed

Seriously, can we talk about this? I almost skipped over the track, but then I hit that gorgeous part at the 4:40 mark 😍

unnamed
We'll watch the sky fall into pieces
And for a moment imagine strings
Holding the trees from falling down
You know I would not be afraid
With your head against my shoulder
And even though all hearts are strange
We're all strung with everything

So incredibly cheesy—but honestly, I love it.
