Failure on V-day

I’ll jump on this V-day bandwagon and add a vaguely-related song to the mix. “Another Space Song” off Failure’s 1996 opus, Fantastic Planet, is nothing like the minimal beauty of Scott’s TFC track, and yet it still “reeks of lovelorn detachment,” if that’s the thing you’re into at this time of the year. For me, it’s the spaced-out (intended) atmospherics and killer love/space-themed lyrics (SCIENCE!) that make it a fav Failure track. A few choice lyrics:

I’ve got no Houston to whine down to, I’ve got no protocol, Gravity’s so far away, Wrapped on that shrinking ball…

She’ll always be what I can’t find, She’ll always be where I break down, She’ll always hide behind a star, I’ll always dream she can’t be far…

SCIENCE!

  1. Props for not going with “Nurse,” the more obvious choice for Dystopian Dream Ballad of the Year…
