Record Rewind: 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' by The Flaming Lips

Expanded upon that album’s often orchestral, melodically direct emotional backdrop with its warm keyboard textures, alternately bittersweet and deeply melancholy lyrics, and the buzzing, bubbling analogue synthesizers drenching the band’s traditional guitar/drums/bass arrangements. Tackling themes of death, aging, and sadness with humor and sci-fi tinged grace, the group delivered arguably the most popular release of their career, one that—almost a decade later—is still battling with enthralled listeners’ ears and hearts.

“The test begins… nowwww!” The (semi-unintentionally?) Cat Stevens-referencing opening track is a bouncy tale of burgeoning bravery and defending the ones we love set to Coyne’s crisp acoustic guitar strumming and heavy as hell synth bass bopping. “I don’t know where the sunbeams end and the starlight begins,” Wayne sings wistfully, “It’s all a mystery…”

 

“One More Robots/Sympathy 3000-21”

Opens with a gloomy trip-hop beat and dubby bassline, with Coyne’s tightly processed lead vocal telling the story of a robot (Unit 3000-21) learning how to experience emotions. Its heart-wrenching chorus is awash with warm, fuzzy keyboard textures and saccharine backup vox from Drozd and Ivins.

 

“Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots (Pts. 1 & 2)”

Segueing beautifully out of the post-“Yoshimi” freak-out, this gorgeous, orchestral mid-album highlight is one of the band’s most understated, ridiculously beautiful arrangements to date. Coyne’s voice floats like a dragonfly over a pond, connecting here and there with interweaving layers of guitars and cinematic keyboard surges. “What is love and what is hate? And why does it matter?” he ponders over the chorus’ Kermit The Frog-esque, sweetly naïve melody.

 

“Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell”

“I was waiting on a moment,” Wayne sweetly sings over Michael Ivins’s dubby bassline and Steven Drozd’s atonal guitar stabs. Swirling and psychedelic, this deceivingly carefree tune houses some of the album’s most sobering, emotional lyrics (“I was wanting you to love me, but your love it never came…”)

 

“Are You A Hypnotist??”

With its mock-choir keyboards and banging/clashing drum programming, this synthy mid-tempo stomper hides a disarmingly direct lyric (“I had forgiven you for tricking me again, but I have been tricked again… into forgiving you. What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist?? Waving your powers around…”) amidst its kitschy arrangement. Reaches an awe-inspiring crescendo on its “sun eclipse behind the cloud” chorus peak.

Teenage girls, and even some adult women, probably dream of the day a man will walk up to them, guitar in hand, and go right into, “Here (In Your Arms),” or, “Oh It Is Love.” The power pop group lends itself to the summer; synths, ukuleles and songs

CHRIS BROWN - MARVIN'S ROOM REMIX LYRICS

It was just a matter of time! Chris Brown has released his "Marvin's Room" remix for all fans to enjoy - The R&B star puts his own spin on the Drake viral hit which has caused a stir in the online world - I like it! The production and vocals were right on point - If Teyanna and JoJo responded as the lady in question, Chris' version responded as 'the other guy'...it all makes sense! By the way, in the end, this staggering number of remixes is just the ultimate compliment for Drake. After "Marvin's Room", there are huge expectations for the real "Take Care" first single.

[Verse 1 - Chris Brown]
He’s saying he’s your best friend
And he’s always the one in your ear
I know that he been waiting
To get my ass up out of here
It’s been a couple months now
Baby I am not suprised
But I’m a real nigga
Girl, how you gon take his side

[Hook]
I bet if I lick that spot then you won’t act like that
I miss giving you them backshots, girl you remember that
Baby and I’d be damned if I let him take my place
Don’t listen to what that nigga say
Cus’ he’s just saying you could do better
And baby all I’m saying is he sound like a hater
And baby he could just fuck off and do us a favor
Mind your business, nigga stop being a hater

[Bridge - Seven]
Here we go, why these niggas keep hating for
Guess that’s just the way it goes
Uh oh, that’s the way it goes, Uh oh, Uh oh
Uh oh, that’s the way it goes

[Verse 2 - Chris Brown]
Baby what the hell are you thinking
By the way you screamin’ at me thinkin’ you’ve been drinking
I know that nigga’s on your line
But he can’t get what’s mine, yeah
