born under punches ^*

• popüler müzik tarihinin en üstün zirvelerinden biri^* olan remain in light i acan sanat eseri. dinleyiciyi öncelikle 6 dakika boyunca karsi koyamayacaklari bir poliritim kazanina düsürür, hakimiyeti eline geciren ses ve vokal örgüsü son iki dakikaya gelindiginde kisiyi o daracik kazanin icinde cayir cayir yakip* incecik devlet adamimiz byrne efendi ile birlikte nefes alma faaliyetini mecazi olmayan yollarla sifira indirir. kitabimda gelmis gecmis en klostrofobik sarki sifatini layikiyla hakettigi gibi, bu gerceküstü albümün burun farkiyla^*, en yukarilarda ucan noktasidir. bazen sirf kendisini albüme bile tercih ediyorum, albüm icinde albüm dinler gibi.. evet baslibasina bir albüm gücündedir born under punches
  
  *brian eno the heat goes on basligina bir new york tabloidinde rastgelmis, bu da parcanin adrian belew in gitar sololu** kismindan hemen sonra gelen ikinci yarisindaki o hipnotik mantraya esin sarkiya da isim kaynagi olmus.
  
  take a look at these hands!
  take a look at these hands!
  the hand speaks. the hand of a government man.
  well i'm a tumbler. born under punches.
  i'm so thin
  
  all i want is to breathe
  won't you breathe with me?
  find a little space so we move in-between in-between it!
  and keep one step ahead, of yourself.
  
  don't you miss it! don't you miss it!
  some of you people just about missed it.
  last time to make plans!
  well i'm a tumbler..
  i'm a government man.
  
  never seen anything like that before
  falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor well i'm a tumbler!
  when you get to where you wanna be thank you! thank you!
  when you get to where you wanna be ...well don't even mention it!
  
  take a look at these hands! they're passing in-between us
  take a look at these hands!
  take a look at these hands! you don't have to mention it
  no thanks.
  i'm a government man.
  
  <**>
  
  and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... where the hand has been... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on i got time and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on... where the hand has seen... and the heat goes on... and the heat goes on
  ...and the heat goes on i'm not a drowning man! and the heat goes on...
  ...and the heat goes on and i'm not a burning building! and the heat goes on... -i'm a tumbler.
  ...and the heat goes on drowning cannot hurt a man! where the hand has been...
  ...and the heat goes on fire cannot hurt a man! and the heat goes on...`+` - not the government man.

• talking heads'in en bir deli işi şarkılarından ikincisi. nitekim bulundukları aynı albümde crosseyed and painless'tan hemen önce gelerek adeta müzik aleminin gördüğü en deli işi şarkıya hazırlar.
• kafayı yemiş manyak gruplardan biri olan talking heads'in zannımca en uçmuş şarkısı. zaten remain in light albümü de akıllı insanların yapabileceği bir albüm değil, deli işidir.
