Brian Jonestown Massacre - Anenome

Brian Jonestown Massacre

The Brian Jonestown Massacre (also known as BJM) is an American eclectic musical group, led by Anton Newcombe; the band's musical output spans multiple genres, including psychedelia, electronica, folk music, blues, and experimental music. The band attained recognition in the second decade of the 21st century when its music was selected for the soundtrack of the HBO cable television series, Boardwalk Empire, with the song "Straight Up and Down" used in the opening credit sequence for each episode.
The group was founded San Francisco, United States (US) by Newcombe, Dean Taylor, Jeff Davies, and Joel Gion in 1990; since formation, the band has consisted of over forty members, with Newcombe the sole mainstay. Other prominent ex-members include Matt Hollywood, Ricky Rene Maymi, Patrick Straczek, Brian Glaze, Miranda Lee Richards, Sarabeth Tucek, and Travis Threlkel.
The name "Brian Jonestown Massacre" is a portmanteau of The Rolling Stones' founder and guitarist Brian Jones and the infamous mass cult suicide in Jonestown, Guyana.


Lyrics:

i
i think i know how i feel
cause i
i only play it for-real
you should be picking me up
instead you're dragging me down
flying over my head
you're landing all over town
you
you know that i try
try to tell you the truth
oh baby don't make me lie
you should be picking me up
instead you're dragging me down
now i'm missing you more
cause baby you're not around
now that you're not around
i
i want to know how it feels
cause i
i only play act for-real
you should be picking me up
instead your dragging me down
i could be giving you love
but you're not around
now that you're not around
now that you're not around
glad that you're not around
