r/thevoidz

I was just reading the lyrics as I was listening to Tyranny and I realized that in Human Sadness Julian sings

"The moon's a skull, i think it's grinning. The room is full of people now i think it's spinning" (one of my favorite lyrics of his)

And in Nintendo Blood he sings

"The moon is cracked, i think it looked at me and grinned. The room is packed I look around and now it spins".

I love those lyrical tie ins and thought it was so cool, I'm sure there are more out there. Just thought id share

Some peak Julian lyrics and delivery in there

Recently got into The Voidz and love their sound. I also like their glitchy, colourful aesthetic and want to dress up like that. What kind of clothes do you think will match it?

I saw the Richmond show last month, and thought the playlist of music between Hamilton Leithauser and The Strokes was great. It was mostly Italian film score and library music, from what I could tell. Piero Piccioni, Bruno Nicolai, Riz Ortolani, Stelvio Cipriani... stuff like that.

They also played a Wendy Carlos cue from A Clockwork Orange and some guy's version of "La Vie en Rose."

Any chance someone more on-the-ball than me actually kept track of everything they played?

This morning, I was thinking about how The Voidz community, especially JC, probably appreciate people who are actively curious about music, weird intellectual stuff, the world, and everything in general.

I would love to see a T-shirt and/or other items with that title and might make some for myself, minimal in design because that's my jam, but still in funky Voidz fashion.

Anywayz, it's one of my all time favorite songs and has been on my list of personal aphorisms since decoding the title.

was watching that live slowed stripped emotional version of One Way Trigger and got recommended live At the Door vids, watched those and in the comments saw someone saying that At the Door melody is connected to a Human Sadness improv jam and to look it up. brought me to the main vid i posted above :). it’s only 48 seconds and so fucking beautiful, i must have listened to it a billion times by now. the entire second half of At the Door reminds me of Human Sadness a lot too, i noticed this watching the live version or ATD. also the melody in the improv feels familiar to me, maybe I’ll Stand By You by The Pretenders. check em out lmk if i’m nuts!

I've been listening to ALieNNatioN again, and I honestly can't hear "Yo no sé." All I hear is "Eu não sei" in Portuguese.

If you pay close attention, it sounds like Julian pronounces "Eu" rather than "Yo." It also wouldn't be that surprising considering he has Brazilian half-siblings (Fernando Casablancas, John Casablancas Jr., and Nina Casablancas).

As far as I know, when the song was first released there was never an official lyric sheet. The lyrics were automatically transcribed by Shazam (and other apps using AI/transcription), and later when The Voidz uploaded the song to YouTube, it looks like the displayed lyrics may have simply been copied from that same transcription rather than coming from an official source.

Now I can't unhear it. Does anyone else hear "Eu não sei" instead of "Yo no sé"?

For comparison, here are Google Translate's pronunciations:

Portuguese ("Eu não sei")

Spanish ("Yo no sé")

I’m a casual fan of the Voidz. The fairweather kind. But I just heard this song today for the first time. Bruh ! I know we all have diff tastes and schemas and associations … But the moment the vocals come in, I feel like I’m floating in a John Lennon song. I love !

I was bored the other day, so I made this little piece of a QYURRYUS "lyric-ish" video, tried to make it under a minute so I could upload it to vertical platforms without having any issues with copyright, but maybe I'll do it full one day, lmk if some of you are interested in that!

Sorry for the quality of this upload, I exported this at 480p and yk how youtube's bitrate system is...

I have become death, the destroyer of worlds.
