Having thoroughly explored the world of indie music in various bands during the 90’s, Thomas Borre and Jesper Buhl began a series of informal musical sessions back in 2000, which gradually led to the formation of B&B International and their recording debut on the 2001 compilation ”homeBrew – A Danish Downbeat Compilation”. A host of releases followed on the homeBrew imprint in the following years, culminating with the album ”Hobbylab” and an appearance on the famous ”Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions” compilation series on the now defunct Guidance Recordings.

B & B International Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is in a codex underneath the flesh
I see the dimensions
And monsters between them exist
I see the dimensions
And monsters between them exist
Just a bunch of brazen bullshit
And a hangmans snitch
Just a bunch of brazen bullshit
Spit from the lips of a gallows witch
And a hangmans snitch
I know I've had some worse trips surely
Probably forgotten in the past
My life isn't going down the drain today
Escape dimensions
I know I've had some worse trips surely
Probably forgotten in the past
My life isn't going down the drain today
Dip into infinity
Escape Dimensions
Dip into infinity
Oh god
The acid betrayed me
Get it together
Another hallucinogenic bender
We've been here before
It's got to better hang onto the floor
Hang on
Hang on
The algorithm for corruption
Is in a codex underneath the flesh
I see the dimensions
And monsters between them exist
The lyrics of "Good News" by B & B International delve into the theme of corruption, hallucinations, and existential dread. The opening stanza suggests a chilling depiction of corruption, metaphorically stated as an algorithm hidden beneath the surface of humanity. This suggests a deep-rooted and systemic issue that taints and distorts reality. The imagery of dimensions and monsters existing between them alludes to the idea of unseen forces at play, feeding into the atmosphere of uncertainty and danger.
The second stanza shifts to a more personal reflection on deception and manipulation. The portrayal of "brazen bullshit" being spewed by a gallows witch and a hangman's snitch paints a picture of dishonesty and betrayal from those closest to the singer. The repetition of this imagery emphasizes the feeling of being surrounded by falsehood and treachery, adding to the sense of paranoia and unease.
The third stanza delves deeper into the singer's inner turmoil and struggles. They acknowledge past hardships and traumatic experiences that may have been forgotten but still linger beneath the surface. The desire to escape these negative dimensions and dip into infinity, coupled with a reference to a hallucinogenic drug experience gone wrong, hints at a quest for transcendence and freedom from the burdens of reality.
The final stanza brings the song full circle, echoing the initial lines about the algorithm of corruption and the existence of monsters between dimensions. The recurring theme suggests a cyclical pattern of facing and trying to escape from corruption and darkness, ultimately calling for resilience and holding onto stability amidst chaos. The repeated plea to "hang on" serves as a rallying cry for inner strength and perseverance in the face of adversity and uncertainty.

The algorithm for corruption
The systematic process of corrupting individuals
Is in a codex underneath the flesh
Hidden within us, beneath the surface
I see the dimensions
I understand the complexity of the situation
And monsters between them exist
There are challenges and difficulties that exist within these complexities
Just a bunch of brazen bullshit
Simply a collection of bold lies
Spit from the lips of a gallows witch
Words spoken by someone who wishes harm upon others
And a hangmans snitch
A betrayer, willing to cause harm to others
I know I've had some worse trips surely
I have experienced more challenging situations before
Probably forgotten in the past
Likely overshadowed by other memories
My life isn't going down the drain today
I won't let my life spiral out of control
Escape dimensions
Break free from the complexities of the situation
Dip into infinity
Explore endlessly and without boundaries
Oh god
Expressing a moment of distress or realization
The acid betrayed me
The substance had unexpected negative effects
Get it together
Pull yourself into focus
Another hallucinogenic bender
Another trip full of illusions and distortions
We've been here before
Familiar with this situation from past experiences
It's got to better hang on to the floor
Things will improve if we stay grounded
