Soulseek won't work on my system and Limewire is just an ad-filled pile of cock, frankly. Could somebody please PM me a link to this file on an upload site? I REALLY want to hear it!!
PS sorry for repeating myself over two threads... but I can't find this track anywhere and I've wanted to hear it for ages

who the hell were HER parents? how did she ever think to question God's goodness of all things. I mean, God and good are synonomous. It's not even something you question.
i think all througout geogaddi that is exactly what boc is doing, positing the indistinction of god and the devil.
Maybe they read this!

I was thinking recently about how every living thing depends on the Sun. Maybe that has something to do with it? That would be consistent with some of those kids' quotes: "He's sort of like a spirit, I guess up in outer space," "he kind of started all the plants growing and he started people" "I guess he's kind of big and fat," "He could be sitting on the table right now but you can't see him."
I dunno though, who knows?

Excellent intuition here. I see exactly what you are saying. It's so true.

Actually they do. Sorry... It's also a great concept. I agree with you Lawrence. boc to me seem very complex; although their perceptions of gods and other religious aspects I think are much simpler than what they portray, to me they seem more down to earth. Just taking a thrid person type view on religion through their music as opposed to believing in any of the god/devil stuff. They seem like sun/nature loving type guys to me.

Well, everything, apart from the ecosystems around deep sea black smokers, where it's too deep for sunlight to penetrate.

Well I was only saying cos it's actually quite an important recent discovery.
But as far as the song title goes, I guess it doesn't matter.

here a hypothesis for you:
Perhaps the whole Geogaddi album is a metophor for Mike's depression and resultant realisation/enlightment when he came through it in the end, his bad trip if you will...
I remember reading that throughout the writing of this album he/they were "going through a tough time personally". Could it be that he was questioning the whole good/evil, god/devil thing, and "From One Source All Things Depend" represents that at the end, he convinced himself about the existence of god / or some kind benevolent force.
Or maybe not...
Question: Do BoC believe in some kind of God?

The turquoise hexagon sun idea, the ring of people on the 'Geogaddi' cover, and that slightly eerie bucolic feel there is in a lot of your music, suggests something cultish, vaguely pagan.
Mike: "That's probably just a reflection of the way we live our lives. We are a bit ritualistic, although not religious at all. We're not really conscious of it in our music but I can see that it is happening. We're interested in symbols. I don't know, we never just make a pleasant tune and leave it at that, it would be pointless. So I suppose there is an intention to let the more adult, disturbed, atrocious sides of our imaginations slip into view through the pretty tunes."
