Blues from Down Here Lyrics


From the depths I called you, ma
For your breath and breast so warm and fabled
Your hands reached inside
Grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabledHailed for your mercy
An ear that caresHow the blues sound from up there?With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet
Carry me through these shark infested waters
Well, you spared me from slaughter for sure
But these sharks are equally in need of a martyrOh, kindness shared
Undeserved purest gift, this life you sparedHow the blues sound from up there?Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue
Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication
Echo into the void
Been received by no oneOh, my sweet dear
Cold, alone poisoning ourselves
Engulfed in our own tearsSigned, blues from down here
Signed, blues from down here
Signed, blues from down herePull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your

Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away yourTime for your favorite story
Of how to achieve golden glory
Wash yourself all squeaky clean
All in white all Hallow's EveLessen your desire
Hold your breath so patiently
Never inquire, how to be free?
Just stay on your kneesYou might doubt it
Think there's nothing left for me
To do but stomp my feet
And shout about itFrom the depths I called you
Now I'm waiting for an answer patiently
Stuck here in the bottom of this well
It's not the last, you've heard from me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
TV on the Radio is a Brooklyn, New York, USA-based band that was formed in 2001. Their music is difficult to classify and is often described as art rock or post-punk, but is educated by a diverse spectrum of styles including freeform jazz and a cappella music, psychedelia and trip-hop, modern soul and classic '90s indie rock, giving them a unique and original sound. The core members are Tunde Adebimpe (vocals, loops), David Andrew Sitek (guitars, keyboards, loops) and Kyp Malone (vocals, guitars, loops), but the band is accompanied by additional members when performing live. On record, they've been joined by Jaleel Bunton (drums) and Gerard Smith (bass) (both of whom have recently become permanent members), Martin Perna (flute, saxophones) and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (guitar). Celebration's Katrina Ford and Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino have both made vocal contributions to various TVotR tracks and even art rock legend David Bowie (an early advocate and advisor of the band) has a vocal cameo on 2006's Return To Cookie Mountain.

Their first album was the self-released OK Calculator (the title being a reference to Radiohead's seminal album OK Computer), the majority of which is wildly different from their later sound, with elements of electro, hip-hop and turntablism. Later they were joined by Kyp Malone and released Young Liars (EP) and Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (LP) to great critical acclaim, the latter earning them a Shortlist Music Prize. They have since released a second EP, New Health Rock which contains a new track, New Health Rock; a cover of Modern Romance and The Wrong Way, a track formerly available on Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes.

In February 2006, TV on the Radio signed to Interscope Records in the USA, leaving their longtime label, Touch & Go. They are signed to legendary English label 4AD in the UK and Europe. Their highly-anticipated album Return To Cookie Mountain was released in September 2006.

In September 2008, the fourth album, Dear Science was released to great critical success, earning the honor of album of the year from Spin Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly. The band embarked on a tour in its support.

The band's fifth album, Nine Types of Light, was released in April 2011. On 20 April 2011, the band's bassist Gerard Smith died of lung cancer at the age of 36.
