Now it's Dark - first few seconds

[ThraxSA]

Fellow Thraxians,

Does anyone know what the deep voice is saying at the start of this song ? You hear heavy breathing and then a voice is mumbling something before the music kicks in... This secret has kept me guessing far too long, so now the power of the Interet I might be able to find out ........

If you know, please share

Sometimes I get phone calls that sound like that at 3 in the morning.

I've asked Wu what is said at the beginning and he didn't even know.

i dunno i always thought it was a slowed down cut from blue velvet, just cos of the frank references in the song ( one fuckin well dressed man....and the dont you fuckin look at me.......parts)......but that must be well off.....

I'm going to go out to my car for lunch break, so maybe I'll blast it and see if I can decifer any of it. The blue velvet idea is probably spot on, as Scott said that's what inspired the lyrics.

The most I can make out is "do it for..." . It sounds like "do it for me girl", but I don't think that's right.

It's funny cause I listened to SOE for the first time in ages the other day and was thinking about the same thing. I got no idea but also assumed someting to do with Blue Velvet.

If Mr Wu is stumped, then it's going to be hard to find out.

When all else fails look to imdb.com.
I looked up memorable quotes from the movie and one of them is "Do it for Van Gogh." After a few listens I think that's what it is.

I always thought it said "turn the lights down" or "turn the lights out" hence the title "now its dark".

"Do it for Van Gogh."

Ding ding. I think we have a winner...

 

[Thrillho]

Do what for him?

 

[jpike]

who the fuck is van gogh??

 

[Vinnie Cappuccino]

Hahahaha, I always thought it was "Danger Echo", pfft, way off! Van Gogh is an Arty Fartist that Painted Sunflowers and Cafe scenes in his great impressionist style.

How the fuck can Mr Wu not know? Someone in the band must.
