Música + scifi!

“Jed the Humanoid” é uma música que transcende o gênero musical e se conecta com a estética da ficção científica.

A sonoridade característica da banda, com seus elementos psicodélicos e experimentais, já evoca um universo alternativo e futurístico.

A letra segue uma narrativa com elementos de ficção científica, como a figura de um androide (Jed the Humanoid) e a exploração de temas existenciais em um contexto tecnológico.

“When we finished Jed, we were so proud
We celebrated (we celebrated)
We congratulated (we congratulated)
At what we’d created (what we’d created)”

A música é bonita e ao mesmo tempo triste e me transportou pra dentro daquela nave de passageiros no filme 2001, uma odisseia no espaço.

Confira a música no vídeo ali em cima! Abaixo, segue a letra completa para acompanhar a música.

Jed The Humanoid — Grandaddy

Last night something
pretty bad happened
we lost a friend,
all shocked and broken
shut down exploded
Jeddy 3 is what we first called him
then it was Jed,
but Jed’s system’s dead
therefore so’s Jed

We assembled him in the kitchen
made out of this and,
made out of that and,
whatever was at hand

When we finished Jed
we were so proud
we celebrated,
we congratulated
at what we’d created

Jed could run or walk sing or talk and
compile thoughts and
solve lots of problems
we learned so much from him

A couple years went by
and something happened
we gave Jed less attention,
we had new inventions
we left for a convention

Jed had found our booze
and drank every drop
he fizzled and popped,
he rattled and knocked,
and finally he just stopped
