In the dream I was a warewolf…..

thats how Coco Rosie starts off side two on their album named “The adventures of ghosthorse and stillborn”.  

Nice lyrics, although I must admit some of them fly over my head. Just cant hear all the words she is singing/saying. Doesnt matter though, there is a very nice ring to her voice, that make up for the lack of recogniceable words.

Maybe all the rationalists of this world will disagree, but there is so much to be learned from nonsense -  linguistic nonsense that is. Words that doesnt make normal sentences and sentences that doesnt have an obvious meaning. This is poetry. Or could be.

So I dont mind so much when there is a word or two missing there – makes it so much more interesting to listen to, when not everything is cut out for you. Either you can look at it as a challenge  – to make (a new) sense of the words, or you can just lean back and taste the words as they hit you – just let them hit you. Dont analyse their meaning in the context – listen to them as they themselves were music and forget all you learned about logic and language.

There is a logic beyond language – and this is where you learn stuff you didnt know you needed to know -  when you switch off the analyzing part of your brain.

How you are gonna do it is your own problem – I would say the people who knows best about these things are probably peolpe that meditates a lot, or regularly go beyond the intellect via some practice or special technique.

But I would say that it is possible for everybody to enter a non intellectual state where you can experience some  new territory, by just closing your eyes, listen and watch the movie. Sex would be one way of getting to a place similar to that.

The first track on the b side of Coco Rosies album definitely is a good way to start.

Close your eyes – you are on your way. 

There is definitely a big Bjork inspiration in many of the tracks on this album. The same fascination of the “little girly voice”, that I think Bjork must have – or has. Its very intimate  and combined with the lyrics, it has a great effect – whether or not you are analyzing the words and meanings.
