:Space Week: Modest Mouse - Stars Are Projectors

Alright guys, two more days left of Space Week. How's that spaceship your supposed to be building me coming along? Its not like it takes rocket appliances to figure this out, come on.




I haven't listened to Modest Mouse in a while, which is a shame. Thank you, Space Week. This song is from their grand masterpiece The Moon and Antarctica. The name for this album is so fitting in that it is definitely their darkest, coldest album. Dark? Cold? Sounds like Space Week material to me.
"The Stars Are Projectors" is an 8 and a half minute freak out that conjures up some spectacular stellar imagery. The topic of existence is tackled and the point is pondered about while distorted guitars and a barrage of vocals swirl around and suddenly switch to mellow acoustic parts and back again. It really has a feeling of putting things in a different perspective. Right wing left wing chicken wing.

In the last second of life they're going to show you how
How they run this show, sure, run it into the ground

The stars are projectors, yeah
Projecting our life down to this planet earth
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projecting our minds down to this planet earth

Everyone wants a double feature
They want to be their own damn teacher, and how
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projecting our lives down to this planet earth

It's all about the moderate climates
You got to be cold and be hot for sure
It's all about the moderate climates
You want to be blessed and be cursed for sure

All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projecting our lives down to this planet earth
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projecting our lives down to this planet earth

Everyone wants a double feature
They want to be their own damn teacher, and how
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projecting our lives down to this planet earth

You've got the harder part
You've got the kinder heart and it's true
I've got the easy part
I've got the harder heart, ain't this true
Right wing, left wing, chicken wing
It's built on finding the easier ways through

God is a woman and the woman is an animal 
That animal's man and that's you
Was there a need for creation? 
That was hiding in a math equation and that's this:
Where do circles begin?
