about

Originally, the music was a song called "New Mold" (the demo of which is on the Sky Pipes album), which wasinitially a similar idea as the song "Colorbind" (on LUCK), but it was decided to abandon those lyrics, and recycle the rhythm track, giving it new life through rewritten music and lyrics, with a different subject.

When we approached re-writing the song, we conceived of an animated video that would accompany the music, so the lyrics were tied to the images we had in mind.
In it, the character (Buzz - no relation to the Toy Story character, or Buzz Aldrin) would be walking along, and repeatedly walk haplessly into his own demise. Being a cartoon character, he would manage to somehow reappear and wander into the next deadly situation, clueless as to what would be awaiting him.

The video/cartoon never materialized beyond an initial drawing of Buzz, but the song describes his fate clearly enough to imagine, without the video.

lyrics

Buzz Got Killed
============

He tries to drive in his lane
But never reads between the lines
He likes his days the same
But fails to question why

Buzz got killed
Buzz got killed
Buzz got killed

Walking, he starts to feel a beat
Humming in time with his feet
Although the melody's taste was sweet
He didn't look as he crossed the street

Buzz got killed
Buzz got killed
Buzz got killed
Buzz got killed

With eyes so big, still he didn't see
The runaway steam roller
The bus and piano, made three
Everyone thought that it was all over

Eyes bulging, he pushes them back in
Then he stands up and again begins
With his incessant humming nothing seeps in
If only he could see past his own skin

Buzz got killed
Buzz got killed

Wide-Eyed Ypsilanti, Michigan

Formed in the beginning of 2001, Wide-Eyed is Tina Lambright and Patrick Pyne. Despite being a duo, they rotated instruments for recordings to make full, band-oriented songs of varying sounds and styles. Their music can be generally described as experimental pop, or psychedelic rock, but avoiding cliches of any genre. Serious, funny, abstract or direct, despite the dressing, enjoyment is the focus ... more
