what is underworls really about?

[popeye34]

Well well..
I didn't mean to categorize this as trancy music, but what I did say is that all electronica has a trance like affect when you listen to it deep enough and I never said they were satanists, I merely just asked the question on what there view on the world through spiritual sense was. I personally aint talikng religion but I like I said before ALL MUSIC IS BASED ON HOW SOMEONES SPIRIT IS... You write about love, it comes from the spirit, You write about hate, it comes from the spirit all songs with words have a meaning and to actually know what it is could be very difficult knowing...

Does it really matter? Do you feel love or hate or beauty or darkness when you listen to Underworld? I guess if you get bad feelings after listening to something, it may be best not to listen to it anymore.

...Reminds me of a lame old joke...
Patient to doctor: "Doc, it hurts when I move my arm like this."
Doctor to patient: "Then don't move your arm like that."

to be honest with you, most of Underworld music and lyrics come from overheard converstaions or snippets of sounds heard whilst journeying around the world, so the basis for UW's lyrics come from the world we live in...

if you want to disect the UW lyrics you need to disect the world we live in, thats not to say that some songs don't have inner meanings, like for example Born Slippy, which is about the world we live in under the influence of 'drugs' whether they be alcohol, narcotics or whatever...

to be frank most people don't know what UW's lyrics really mean anyway, and as such, thats the fun, Mr Hyde likes the fans to interpret what he's saying and what meaning it has, even if its wrong, and which is why UW initially published the lyrics to Born Slippy, because people were interpreting it as a Lager drinking anthem and it wasn't meant to be that...

I've thought about correcting the underworls to underworld but its funnier this way

Well that's been answered so are we in accord or are you still going to play the "I'm so pure nothing can touch my linen" thing?

I'm actually shocked at the cordial responses from some of the dirts; all I hear from you though is "Gotta watch what I listen to, don't wanna be killing people and worshipping Satan because some song told me to!" Bro, stand on your own 2 feet. If UW had subliminal chants of "You like to shag boys" do you think you would turn into a homosexual pedophile? Your mind is a stronger tool than that; it's not vulnerable to the crazy whims of a subliminal message. EDIT: Unless you have a weak mind.

Now with that, welcome to Dirty; try to learn something while you're here.

word, that's all i can say.

I agree.
I do look at the world on how fucked up it is, although my post might not make sense to some of you, I know there a few who catch it. Like I said I love electronica, but theres more to it than just playing along side a drum machine and a keyboard, but whatever.....I personally like there music and the only I brought this subject to the forums is to find out if any off you have seen or noticed and thing weird in electronic music PERIOD.
I can't sit here and say that all electronica is bad, after all its mostly instrument. So I guess most of you dont really seem to understand...I mean you understand, but you dont understand in a more deeper sense on what I was trying to get at and I guess I probably wont find anybody who understands being that you all are big fans of undeworld. It to complicated to get into point by point detail on what i was trying to say, but I guess it's not meant to be understood......and with that im out.......

[the real stuff]

I think I understand what you're trying to say, I just can't get past the context of "good" and "evil", "god" and "satan" that you've wrapped your ideas in.

Well, the only wierd stuff I've ever seen is at raves when everyone was hopped up on Extacy. But when drugs get involved, anything can happen. But we're not talking about reality here, drugs are a fabrication and leave the mind vulnerable to lapses of perception and judgement.

And no, I don't understand this "deeper" sense. What are you, religious and have a guilty conscience because of what some person of religious authority told you about electronic music? Now I'm curious and I want to get at the heart of what drives this wierd, borderline O/C pursuit for you. Listen, it's important for you to recognize and accept that not all people that listen to electronic music end up getting whacked out of their minds and shagging on a dirty dance floor at a rave. Most of the members of Dirty here are in a pursuit of something -- an education, creating good music, being good at their jobs, whatever... I actually own my own custom apparel business -- not bad eh? But becoming a bum, be it a druggie, a morally-corrupt person or anything else has nothing to do with music. It has all to do with personal choice and discretion. If music was such an influencing force, politicians would use it for personal gain and usurping control. The world would be an incredible mess, you know?

I thought you were a troll originally and I'm not 100% convinced that you aren't but, if you have a goal behind these questions with a certain number of criteria to settle, then you can obviously quantify the nature of your request. So I'm interested in hearing it...

Maybe a visit to the TranceAddict forums will yield more results for you.
