Yes, they do exist. The band that doesn't just fit into one category and knows how to inspire with its powerful and cleverly arranged songs. But that's not all:
Bananafishbones also possesses the talent for catchy pop tunes as their chart success "Come To Sin" proves. Everyone who owns a T.V. set must have heard "Come To Sin" at least once because in 1998 that single was the soundtrack for a C&A commercial by Roman Kuhn that embellished the commercial cluster on MTV and other channels.
But even without the commercial, the song "Come to Sin" established itself as an excellent pop song. It entered the top 50 of the media control single charts; and the immediate rise to position 32(KW2) as the frequent airplay and position 36 in the airplay charts speak for themselves.
The press and the critics also welcomed the band with open arms. According to the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" the Bananafishbones beat the Guano Apes. Apparently, it doesn't take more than just three virtuosic musicians to produce an imaginative and original sound.
Others praised the mix of loveliness and gruffness, harmony and anarchy (MM) and attested that Bananafishbones isn't only the most important but also the best band of the county.
They also made the Soundtrack for the German soccer Films "Die Wilden Kerle 1 - 3".
October
Bananafishbones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
some let go and drift within
others just lose their green
from bloodred to tangerine
beautiful colours I have seen
and it feels so obscene
flies are gathering on my knees
I love the heat when I am cold
when I give up I receive gold
I cannot laugh at your bad jokes
'cause I awoke from a hushaby
summer's over with a sigh in the sky
with a sigh in the sky.....
flies are gathering on my knees
the wind it shakes the autumn leaves
and I am so amused to see
that both of them will leave
both of them will leave
good bye my love....
The lyrics of Bananafishbones's song October paints a vivid picture of the fall season. It talks about the changes in nature - the leaves turning colors and falling from trees, the wind blowing through them, and flies gathering around. The imagery used to describe these changes is quite powerful, showing the beauty and wonder of nature undergoing transformation.
The lyrics also delve into the human experience of change, particularly with regards to the shift in seasons. The singer speaks of feeling cold and how they love the heat, of letting go and receiving gold, and of saying goodbye to a loved one. They also mention being unable to laugh at bad jokes, perhaps indicating a somber mood or sadness. Despite this, there is also a sense of awe and amusement in recognizing that both flies and leaves will eventually depart from their current state.
Overall, the song October is a poignant reflection on change and the impermanence of things in nature and in our lives.
