Hudba: Big Fish Gone, texty: Daniel Sedláček
Kapelu BIG FISH GONE jsme seskupili v říjnu 2008 v sestavě Lukáš Václavík (kytara), Daniel Sedláček (kytara, zpěv) a Václav Brožek (bicí), a to na základě Danových neúspěšných pokusů o založení country kapely ve stejném složení :((. Po krátkém hledání vhodného baskytaristy se k nám v prosinci připojil Marek Sýkora.
Hudebně se kapela hlásí k odkazu grunge, post-grunge a alternative rock vlny 90/00. let
První sold out koncert (díky, kamarádi!) se konal 17.4.2009 v KC Turnov. Kapela na něm představila 14 vlastních skladeb a cover verzi Cashovy písně Folsom Prison Blues (propašované country!). Většina písní vznikla až za působení kapely či v období těsně předtím, výjimkou je kytarovkový cajdáček Oceans, napsaný přibližně v roce 1997 (to bylo Márovi asi devět).
Název BIG FISH GONE vyjadřuje smutek a nostalgii po čemkoli, co člověku bylo blízké a co v proudu života ztratil (případně propil?), stejně tak nemožnost se vrátit v čase a změnit myšlenky, činy a rozhodnutí, které by změnit chtěl. Anebo je to všechno jinak...
THERE!
Ten hundred thousend words were raised
By the kneeling and the humble men
Ten hundred thousend words erased
They all went wasted
There in their minds of those who thought it insane
That words from heart could warm them
There in hearts of those who wished things stayed the same
Would you ponder that?
Lost in this crap. Would you hold me tight...?
Ten hundred thousend wise spoke up
Stood their ground against the faceless crowd
Ten hundred thousend thruths hanged up
With nameless hatred
There in their minds of those who thought it insane
That words from heart could warm them
There in hearts of those who wished things stayed the same
Would you ponder that?
Lost in this crap. Would you hold me tight...?
So is why I feel so insecure. Would you hold me tight?
NOT DEAD YET
- to ivakali -
Hell's a diminutive for the place where I've been set
Creepy creatures, haunting nightmares they're my friends
Down on my knees, my wars for peace, how come I'm not dead yet
Or am I? Tell me. Feel me. Fill it up or end.
Right now, right here, I'm ready to be born
I'm thirsty for more
Never, no more, I'm afraid, don't touch me
That's my world
I may run or stare, walk clad or bare, the chance is never there
I hear your voice all the time but I turn in vain
Your moves so shy, a fragile smile, a giant heart that cares
I knew - too vital not to slip thru my clumsy hands
Right now, right here, I'm ready to be born
I'm thirsty for more
Never, no more, I'm afraid, don't touch me
That's my world
I take it as it is, what is left here anyway?
Only those hungry who feed the hungry be saved
The waters run unnoticed till the desert hits your way
No point in crying tears, don't you know they're not wet?
UNCERTAIN
You make me
Row fast to help those who lost their ways to their destinations
Drowning deep
In the middle of their swim across the rugged sea
It don't appear
Like I was ever told my proper designation
You make me
Try to hide my own wrinkles scattered around my face
But what can I do, my hands are weak, my soul is bleak, how do I follow?
With my pockets empty, undetermined, tempted, chained by debt to doubt...?
Would you share
A little bit of your omniscience and your wisdom with me?
Will you care
Whenever I lose my faith in the current state of matters?
What can I do, my hands are weak, my soul is bleak, how do I follow?
With my pockets empty, undetermined, tempted, chained by debt to doubt...?
WALK OUT
Stay longer
Till the horror
Of this fades out
I am a waterfall and
With my shadow
I'll relieve the ground
From the hot sun
And the deadly rays I take in
Will lift me up
Fight stronger
The fruit's more bitter
From a worn out land
Don't you wreck me over
Just cause I stumble
More than I did then
And my answers
And my answers
Will be all I've heard from you
You can set me up
Have my name erased
The fireworks in my head
Won't show it now
You can cut me out
Have myself replaced
The fireworks in my head
Won't show my pain
To you
Why not just walk out on me?
Just like that...
STAY. GO.
Morning coffee spilt over
Whirls in her head, oh God, be gone
She will tell him when sober
Didn't mean to hurt your feelings
He's a different species
Torn in the atmosphere
When born
He don't stand a chance
At all
See they unfold thru pages
Stories stained - no, that's not my cum
Seconds tear down the ages
No one meant to hurt my feelings
I'm a different species
Torn in the atmosphere
When born
I don't stand a chance
At all
Go, get, use, pick another
There's much more space than you have thought
Stack it up with shit why bother
Don't let them hurt your feelings
I'm a different species
Torn in the atmosphere
When born
I don't stand a chance
At all
Sweet sleep set on precautions flares
With dreams that come already burnt
I don't stand a chance
At all
I said: Stay. Go.
I said: Stay. Go.
TOO LATE TO HIDE
Suddenly something caught my attention unprepared
Was it you? Or was it just a shadow of
Your spiritual ignition?
Or maybe the smell of your underarm...?
What I felt was some purely nasty stuff
Your folks would never want to know
No no no no no - lick and suck your shaved and hard and
Unveiled, hot, wet, and ready to grow... with my pace
It was far more than I could bear
Looking for the chance to have you
Have your fingers tease my hair
Have my fingers tease you there
I had you last Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
On Thursday it was twice... oh god, it felt so nice
Your humble breasts, so meek in my palms...
Now too late to hide my head and run for advice... I'm lost in you
It was far more than I could bear
Looking for the chance to have you
Have your fingers tease my hair
Have my fingers tease you there
The daring look always in your face
Seduction every time we talk
I surrender, let me go and forget you
OPEN MY PALM
(The Story of My Life)
The days I spent on the road
Tryin' to figure out the sense
Took me far away from home
(I've) known wrong and sinned
Big waves chased me off shore
Attractin' me back deeper in
(I've) known wild and beautiful...
Been tried and deserted
All my life my voice's grown coarser
And towards the end temptations come up
I did not expect from anywhere
Threats on the telephone
I failed to give any attention to
Whispers in a shallow tone
Cuts broader than you'd ever think
Touch me and I'll unfold
Open my palm
(I've) seen wild and beautiful
Been tried and deserted
All my life my voice's grown coarser
And towards the end temptations come up
I did not expect from anywhere
I got drugs in my veins
Why does everybody always keep telling me the same?
It's like snowfall, comes back every winter time
Still got shit in my veins
Why does everybody always keep telling me the same?
Like I don't have my own eyes to see
You don't take what is not yours
You don't break what's been bound by love
You don't fake what you don't have in yourself
You don't ache but with the weaker
Let it rain on me or forever I'll be damned
Let it fall endlessly so I'm not down here alone
All my life I've feared
I have had the end grown in myself...
OCEANS
Temptation is where she stands
Makes me want to be there
Yet parts of the world she spins
Is the things I shared with her
Might be the day
Might be a mistake
Might be the place
Might be...
Oceans that I bleed
Hold me above the dawn
Sun can give me thrills
Would she fight me at a spot unfound
Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
