Brian Jonestown Massacre, The - Dropping Bombs On The Sun Lyrics

Tess without Anton is nothing

I feel bad saying this, but Tess Parks voice annoys me sometimes..

Yr funny Anton....

A. A. Newcombe you are possessed by a cadillac genius. 😊

music has a bit of a Verve-ey vibe to it. Nice enough song, but I think I prefer it when Anton drops bombs on the White House.

Excellent have it!

dude your a legend

this song reminds me of another song that must be similar, could be another bjm song... but I'm not sure which one. I thought it was, but wasn't Flaming Lips - Turning Violent. But its something like Fuxa - Sun is Shining. I dont know but i'm obsessed with this atm

wow f-ing wow

Who does the beautiful vocals?

Tess Parks. She and Anton have recorded two albums together.

The bjm just can't do no wrong just seen them in Glasgow what a fucking gig epic band what a man

Are those actual images of the sun?

this song is cosmic

and our Tess SO makes this ditty LOVE!

Anton, do you want to be a boy band?

This song has made my stoned night even greater!

Calming

This song reminds me of the Ramones.

"...And we're out there-a-droppin' bombs, on the warm California sun"

I can't stop listening to this all summer, it's beautiful. X

Yes who needs drugs music is the biggest drug in the world epic tune and what a band

My Brother 55 introduces me to the band ... open mind now closed is a mind warp up with best of Floyd Zeppelin you name it..it shows a deep understanding of music its original and totally fucking brilliant..... if they come to South Africa I would happily sell my cat into prostitution to get a ticket

putting it on wax

Anton Newcombe, will you now unblock me on twitter? @kite_rii

Also, are you playing this song on your current tour? And why not?

shoe gaze goooooooooooooooooooo...........

Anton you're going to get a Nobel for Literature.

Thank <3 you !

Love this! Never heard :) so inspirational always...

Antonio Querido, el Pueblo está contigo.

This song brings me to another place. Isn’t it awesome when you find music that can do that? I feel bad for people that can’t or don’t connect with music.

holy fuck

The universe rules! ... If you like that sort of thing.

Keep it simple ;)

Ok ! My brain is gone now!

burnin up now
nice to love you
and the sun comes
day is just begun
and for all you know
it's a different world
and the sky
''rayed again t'day
far to pray
pretty much the same, yeah
everyday... in every way
and everything
just remind yourself
as you always do
keep it simple
always tell the truth
don't you lie to me
it's so simple
keep it simple

Ta muchly. Am so crap at deciphering lyrics. Makes a great come-down mantra this.

nice to come-up to , too @sohsiouxmi

decent and tolerable

is that tess parks... omg... of course it is

Thanks Anton! This is definitely one of my favourites. Really enjoying Don't Get Lost.

so beautiful

10/10
Thanks for the tour in South America.

just got introduce to your music a couple days ago and your music is the s*** don't know how I lived my life without hearing this s*** before u rock!!!!!!!

Luscious...

Anton - just curious - have you ever recognized the similarities in musical paths taken between yourself and Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream? Both of you relocated to Berlin, both of you are two of the most prolific in song production in music history -- with your immense catalog and TD's over 100 albums. Also, a couple of your tracks (Reverse Wind for 1) have a Tangerine Dream feel to them. Just sayin'...

This is fuggin sick!

20 second intros stop that shit.

this shit is transcendental as fuck.

"Now arms, however beautiful, are instruments of evil omen,
hateful, it may be said, to all creatures. Therefore they who have
the Tao do not like to employ them.

The superior man ordinarily considers the left hand the most
honourable place, but in time of war the right hand. Those sharp
weapons are instruments of evil omen, and not the instruments of the
superior man;--he uses them only on the compulsion of necessity. Calm
and repose are what he prizes; victory (by force of arms) is to him
undesirable. To consider this desirable would be to delight in the
slaughter of men; and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot
get his will in the kingdom"

Class class class. Hypnotic bassline

Mr. Newcombe,

Just booked the plane ticket. Coming to see your performance in LA. I haven't been this excited since I was a kid. Thank you for your beautiful music!

nah tuff...

rob slover He responds to at least 3 people in this comment strong alone, so yeah actually.

with the time you spent digging through the comments you could have written a song eh? who gives a shit man.

he literally posted this himself and comments regularly. you should learn to admit when you're wrong, it makes you seem like an adult.

Why all of this bickering? I was only sharing my excitement. I am heading to D.C. to see BJM this week, can't wait!

Thank you both for this masterpiece.

that cross hair logo is so cool to me... good stuff

tess parks baby

Pure cosmic vibes, who needs drugs 😁

Dan Lancaster everyone

I need that drugs boi

Cosmic vibes+drugs=a reason to live

Anton keep on making this perfect music.

This is one of the most powerful BJM's records these last years, waww

come to brazil please

Beautiful tune

Another ride on the BJM evolution of sound. This is really good....

Our very own star.....

It's been so good waking up with a BJM song! Thank you...Tess singing <3

beautiful hopefull sounds

LOVE IT

Your music creates an atmosphere like nothing else.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre has been my favorite band ever since I heard "She's Gone" in 2010. I tried to see them live last year at Levitation but the festival got cancelled. I hope to fuck they come to DC or Pittsburgh this year. This is the music that resonates with my soul.

ive had this tune on repeat all morning. love love

Du très très lourd posté cette semaine Anton, tu ne t'arrêtes jamais de nous envoyer du bonheur aux oreilles... et à l'âme!

fuck yeah

this goes great with some jazz cabbage

Thank you...! The new stuff has been really wonderful, and I'm always looking forward to the next one. I'll be hitting this one heavy tonight.

Will Tess be on tour with BJM in March?

hat would be fucking sweet, you going to the 03/04 show????

skeetmuffin 3/09

Great song, Anton. I really dig the bass sound on this track. Did you do anything specific to it if not. Would you mind sharing the recording of it? As in how it's mic'd up and/or mixed. I can't quite make out if it's a heavily compressed bass guitar or a synthesizer. I like it.

love u dude, u have helped make my life a lil happier at times, i appreciate you my dude :) peace to u

@anton newcombe keep making great music. Love u guys

Picked up the 10 inch yesterday on my lunch break. Should be a sonically rich weekend.

Love this one, very atmospheric!

Sounds awesome Anton!

That Tess Parks voice gets me everytime...

make high art –everyday

floaty dreamy warm fuzziness trip

The way it fades out like that and the echo effect on the end there sounds like it's going to quietly segue into a short ambient instrumental or a piece of classical music on piano or something. It's a nice track indeed, mellow. Mr Anton, are you a moon man or a sun man?

Or neither, man.

It actually bleeds into another track on the album

Makes sense that it would. Oh, UFO Paycheck is another song, this bleeds into that? The description of this video and the reverse cover of the album had me thinking they were the same song. They're sister songs.

Reflective

brilliant!

thank you.

really liked this, visuals suited it too!

and I just shared the spoiled sun song, hahaha!
