about

Following the higher energy of Jetstream, Thud intentionally presented the other end of the songwriting spectrum, by putting right up front, Wide-Eyed's softer, and arguably most sentimental song of their entire catalog.

Based off a true story of a kitten who survived a fall from a bridge, and was subsequently called "Thud" (of course).

This song was the second song on LUCK, and the second song written by Tina, and ironically, one of the last ones to be completed.
The lyrics were the original source of the band name (written by Tina, suggested by Patrick).

lyrics

Thud
=====

Out in the new world
Everything is so big
Unaware of danger
You cross over the bridge
Do you think it's a good idea
To stop and look over the edge?

If you fall for me, will you land on your feet?

Peering down below
It doesn't look so far
The place I want to be
How is it to be there?
Only the sweetest spot on Earth
As long as I'm in your arms (dear)

If I fall for you, do I land on my feet?

I could follow you
Winding the lonely road
We would walk hand in hand
Wide-eyed we go alone

If we fall, do we have to land at all?

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
