Ween - Transitions Lyrics

This reminds me of the music that would play on The Weather Channel back in the 80's/90's.

2:18 pulled me right out of a bad weed edible trip and I was in such better spirits afterward

Dang this song is sick!

Got aesthetic universal saturation in the grip of the morning sun
The creosote that erodes all the odors that lie dormant when the day is done
Hop the dingle on the ferry takes you back to the dimension that's just begun
Riding the crest of the communion to a union, Harry Truman is the holy son
And he says...

That beginning guitar solo makes me think of a high tech future city at night while it’s raining.

1.75 is where its at

The Free Speech Zealot 😂good call

the lyrical rhythm reminds me a bit of ok go's here it goes again

This is one of those songs that feel *too* good to listen to. Can’t wait to finally buy some expensive headphones and listen to this with my eyes closed, so I can try my best to fully appreciate this song and hopefully never grow tired of it

I like this music but shyguy99 is lame

who is that

That's your gay boyfriend XD XD XD

you got that right

tô mto apaixonada por essa música

This is true genius. An absolute masterpiece of Music. Like, my mind cannot fathom why this isn't up there with the Stairway To Heaven classic, etc.

PINK FLOYD?

Definitely not

I dunno if it's just because I am really tired, but I have been listening to random Ween songs for the last hour and a half and I feel like I am high. I'm not though, I haven't touched weed in a month. I decided to quit doing drugs since we don't get along so great like we used to. Wish I had this back then. However, This band will be my new "drug". Their songs make me happy and chilled out. These songs are like the best parts of doing drugs, without the side effects. I am super glad I found Ween.

same here

Yeah cannabis seems to have that effect on a lot of people. Especially those who are anxious

I wish pot felt like it did in my 20's. Now every time is just more anxiety that I don't need.

Such a beautiful song

Playing kerby, oh jeez

Harry Truman is the holy son

reminds me of Mac - but better

Hello, Nostalgia
How Are You Doing

This is gold

Another day, another favorite Ween song...

Ween are so creative. There is never a time that I don't want to listen to them. They span so many genres; they're in tune with music. If I want to be goofy, there's a song for it. If I want to be serious; there's a song. If I want to relax; there's a song. I often wish I knew them, in real life. That would be a good time.

They have a huge library. Remind me of The Dead in so many ways.

I agree with every word. Emphasis doesn't do my love for them justice

makes me think of Dire Straits every time

Rossy Flair dire straits w Garcia wandering lead

heavily garcia influenced gd

this is soothing my tired bones right now

This is just phenomenal in every way. I listen to it too many times a day.

Fav track on Shinola

I followed the link, but no sound or movement? Nothing! Hope it wasn't a bug!

sounds like mac demarco!

You mean Mac Demarco sounds like geaner?

Ariel Pink, more like.

Get outta here with that lame ass comparison. I don't care how wide that Demarco fucks gaps in his teeth are. He can't fit this talent in there

Ween never disappoints me!

Another 10 out of 10 Masterpiece

first Ween song to really grab me...

I think this song is about the bombing of Hiroshima

@zombiesarebad67 Go on im listerning...

@pinsboy "Got aesthetic universal saturation in the grip of the morning sun" -might be talking about flash from the nuclear blast, and the bomb was dropped early in the morning


"creosote that erodes all the odors that lie dormant when the day is done" - ash and soot everywhere, 80,000 dead people is going to smell pretty bad


"hop the dingle on a ferry takes you back to a dimension that's just begun" - ferry on the Styx that takes the dead to the afterlife? New dimension is the newly nuclear capable world? I dunno


"riding the crest of a communion to a union Harry Truman is the holy son" - I don't know about the communion thing but Harry Truman was the president that ordered the bomb dropped. The holy son thing might refer to the fact that if someone can wave their hand and wipe out a city, they are not far off from being a God.


I don't actually know what I'm talking about. Probably over analyzing.

i think you are right. the crest could be the blast wave itself. communion means 'the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially on a mental or spiritual level.' whitch i see as fitting as horror and tragedy usually connects us humans on a intimate and spiritual level.

and i am sure there is a famous quote of being like gods/seeing god about that event but for the life of me I cant find it.

the trubble now is that when i listen to this song i will now think of 80,000 dead people.... cheers mate!

Good stuff zombiesarebad67

bang on, mate

I think it's neat when people discover the meaning behind songs, even if you're wrong, nice work my friend :)

I love the Garcia influence

Ric Suarez brought me here.

Ric Suarez brought me here.

yes i hear it

These guys are so awesomely different than any other recording artist around..i can hear so many fucking influences its not even funny. Thank you, Ween for being awesome.

Shinola is a pretty damn impressive compilation/rarities collection. I've certainly been impressed by it's scope....all killer, no filler.

The first 2 seconds sound Exactly like the song "Panic On" by Madder Rose, sweahtagawd.

damn fine musicians. can anyone else hear resemblances to the grateful dead like i do? the way all the different musical instruments are layered and combined. but it is not very very layered like the grateful dead. it is more subtle. it is ween.

ever since i heard them ive bin asking that question to

These guys really are some talented songwriters , I'm lost in all their fabulous work , why aren't they more well known ? they should be !

They're rebels....corporate conformity doesn't suit them

@itsthestevo You must get some crazy shrooms if you can shroom back in 1999 right now.

Ween throws away better stuff than you'll ever create in the first place.

@itsthestevo alot of there music reminds me of a way better tenacious d if they were being serious, TD is just a joke, ween is truly ART!

Yea I'm a fan since assbirth.

Definitely not the only fans left.

I've posted all the songs on FB. I hope to bump it up as much as possible for you... are we the only fans left or what!? WeeN diserves alot more!!! by far my favorite band... like a new age beatles they discovered the minds third eye! freedom of choice and revolutionary to say the least!!!
