>> [_] Anon 3052889 Any thoughts on what this song is actually about? lyrics never made much sense to me just like something that sounded good so they went with it
>> [_] Anon 3052893 song name pls? thx xD xD xD
>> [_] Anon 3052896 >># Thats kinda how i feel a lot of music is. Reminds me of that one guy who did an upbeat song about his wife leaving him and taking all his stuff to prove that nobody listened and just wanted to dance to his shit
>> [_] Anon 3052901 Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse once said that when he was younger he had a song he really liked, that had a ton of emotional insight for him, but years later he read something from the artist explaining in detail what the song was about. The artist's perception of the song was completely different than his, but it kind of took over his original ideas and ruined the song's connection for him. So, he tries not to write about anything too lucid or ever explain his songs. That way everyone can just let whatever clicks, click.
>> [_] Anon 3052902 so according to wikipedia the song is about the dumbing down of society by mass media, the windmill is Feel Good Inc, where all the bodies are in a docile state of feeling good, but not questioning their surroundings. 2d (the lead singer) is trying to wake everyone up with a megaphone, and DeLaSoul (the rapper) represents the captain of the ship mocking 2d for his actions. 2d is eventually is defeated, returning to his mantra of "feel good," ending the video features themes of isolation, escapism

>> [_] Anon 3052925 This raises a good question... do music need to make sense or just "feel good"?
>> [_] Anon 3052926 >># Art doesn't need to anything ever, but it always does.
>> [_] Anon 3053008 >># ive been thinking about this for years and i still cant get it right, honetsly, the best i can come up with is that 2d wants to lead everyone to that wonderful land where the windmill is, and that life is good and carefree there. but de la soul has them all how he wants them, and we are all paralysed, de la soul even gets 2d in the end, bringing him in line with how he wants us all to be. he offers 2d something to get him on his side, and 2d caves, sort of thing. i think where de la soul says "with your sound you kill the inc" he reveals that 2d could topple the feel good inc, the boogeyman who has us all paralysed, which is why he tries so hard to change the tune that 2d is singing i like to think that noodle, away on her windmill just chilling, is meant to be some representation of the good life that 2d wants us all to reach, there's no bass line when she is doing her thing, just having a nice time playing her guitar also aways loved the way that the video for el manana follows on from this, but that song is about a lost love, i dont think it has anything to do with feel good inc otherwise
