You're a rhyme without reason
And you know it so well
Well, who's the king of the season
Well, you never can tell
Though it's so plain to see

You think you like to be normal
You think you're in control
But the action you take
Only makes you small
Just like the way it should be

Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
Take care of me

You're a book out of nowhere
Being read all the time
And the things that you give me
Only shows that you're blind

And when you know it's all over
And you're goin' insane
Oh, I'm just there to remind you
That I can't feel no pain
Why don't you let it be?

Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister

'Cause I'm not afraid to fall
No, I'm not afraid to fall
I'm not afraid at all
Doo doo doo doo doo doo at all
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, come on

Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
Take care of me
Surround, sister
'Cause I'm not afraid to fall
The Soundtrack of Our Lives

The Soundtrack of Our Lives, often abbreviated T.S.O.O.L., are a Swedish rock band that formed in Gothenburg in 1995 and disbanded in 2012 before reuniting again in 2023. The band's style draws heavily from sixties and seventies rock and punk, such as Rolling Stones and Iggy and the Stooges. Psychedelic rock is another strong influence for the band, and psychedelic and mystical references are also prominent in the band's lyrics and aesthetics. The abbreviation 'OEOC', which features on all their albums, refers to the phrase "as above, so below" from Hermeticism.

Translation (Google :):
"I always listen to this radio, unfortunately in Russia only through the Internet, thanks for being there"

"There is only the Internet presence: it is named with the word "radio" only because this is how good radio was once in the USA. Best wishes to you and I hope you and your family are safe. (hoping Google Translate will work for this!)" 

Good enough!

Sometimes there is just nothing more welcome than a new (to me) basic rock and roll song.

As always with music I find on "Six Feet Under"... ...this is utterly brilliant. It was even better in the context it was used in the show. I don't hear the Franz Ferdinand thing suggested before at all. The driving beat reminds me once again of The Stone Roses, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, et al... There is SLIGHTLY less layering of guitars on this but still...

The band's original name was Sex Potatisarna  ("Six Potatoes" in Swedish).

 
I like the band name "Soundtrack of Our Lives" way better but I wish I had a Sex Potatisarna t-shirt nonetheless.

I have to give this an 8, just because it got so much airplay during the time I listened to (and needed) RP the most. {#Cheers}

I kinda like the song.  Not a ton of depth, but I'd end up slitting my wrists if everything was "Comfortably Numb" or something.  

Album cover is a but creepy to me.  Never been a fan of the fake faces thing.  Reminds me of a reasonably successful local artist that makes stuff like that.  Never have them in my yard, but I suppose I can see the appeal.

Having just earned something like 39 million doing the latest Bond film, Daniel Craig also talked about slitting his wrists if he had to do another.
there's something plain wrong about that. 
BTW, death masks have been used since the time of Tutankhamun.
