Brian Eno - Empty Frame Lyrics
So they rode the sea, it went on and on
They were years away, though it seemed so long
But the captain never told them what he knew
As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
And they held the heavy sky on their open hands
And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land
Baby, we're going 'round in circles
Where is this place we're going to?
Does anybody know we're out here on the waves?
And are any of our signals coming through?
We're going 'round in circles
And like the clouds that turn to every passing wind
We turn to any signal that comes through
At the edge of the sea were the signs of the dove
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door
No, we won't be needing reasons anymore

So emotional!

Perfect song about Americans in the age of Trump
This is my list of most underrated albums of all time. 1. MC 900 Ft Jesus- Adventures in Failure 2. Ringside=3. eno cale Wrong way up..4. Pursuit of Happiness- Love Junk. 5. New Radicals-Maybe you've been brainwashed too.
Basically "Dialectic of Enlightenment" condensed into one song
just love the harmonies and the simple, happy groove
I am crazy about this song
....
Could anyone of you guys please suggest me some songs that are similar to this beautiful one?
Brian Eno's and John Cale's 70s albums sound like this - some kind of arty, deranged pop music
Thank you Ouidah. Tears in my eyes
could someone please find me a live version one??
Eno and Cale never toured in support of the album...Eno doesn't tour...and so there is no live version of it.
Ok thanks for the info
my theme song personally
This is one of my favorite songs. One of my favorite CD's in fact. I was in college, and a couple of friends had a copy of Rolling Stone with top ten lists, and one of them was top ten "College Music" and they were like, "What the hell is College Music?" and decided, "Well we're in college, maybe we should find out." So they went and bought the one on top. I'm so glad they did, I might never have heard this. This song, the river, and crime in the desert are my faves. So unique.
wonderful song
we re going roooooooouuuuuuunnnnd in circles. WE HAVE NO SINGLE POINT OF VIEW
Columbus
I remember reading that years ago. But everything we write is really about ourselves.
you'd be surprised how many people don't know what this song is about
including you
what is it about?
please oblige
FUCKING TEARS OF JOY MY GOD
Hello...is there anybody out there?..can anybody hear me?..The signal is fading in and out, it seems I'm going round in circles...
This song sounds like a nightmare version of a beach boys tune. Indeed, the lyrics use the "lost at sea" metaphor to comment on mental illness. "we push the empty frame of reason out the cabin door, no we won't be needing reason anymore"
I don't think it has to do with mental illness at all. I think it's about transcending mere logic. In the age of reason, we made reason out to be the masterpiece of humanity, when it's but an empty frame.
Love this song !! The best music ever !!
What great lyrics- the story of my life!
Brian Eno & John Cale Thank You for this Beautiful Song "Empty Frame" I love it so very much !!
