Tenniscoats - 'Iso Phase' (Live at 3RRR)

Our sound engineer Dan was having trouble setting up the recording equipment in Triple R's outdoor courtyard due to the strong winds blowing into the mics that afternoon. "It's all good," assured Ueno, one half of Japanese psychedelic folk duo Tenniscoats. "It'll be like John Cage." We were extremely honoured to have Tenniscoats at the station performing their track 'Iso Phase'.

thank you sooo much

The beauty of non-understood lyrics that still SING to my heart with the music. I can have a beaming smile, yet a tear can make it's way out and it all comes together. Perfection.

[@kipponi]

I feel same. Japan is hard language to learn but someone here translate it for me/us. Melody is king in this song and guitar comping.

[@lordblazer]

it's better once you understand the lyrics. worth learning Japanese for.

たまらんです

[@kipponi]

Someone translate this to english ? Want to know what she sings.

[@dbstrakt7]

+kipponi I have two heads, so I confuse. Each of which has a different claim. They change depending on the body. Claims immiscible in the cup, I'll try drinking all. Divide body in just half. Each want to go in a different direction. Finally find the incantation. Adventure that Dorothy has experienced in Oz, returns to zero all. Different from wish. Different from preference. The world is... It's funny, isn't it? It's funny, isn't it?

[@kipponi]

dbstrakt Ok thanks. Very grotesque lyrics like" divide body in just half". Like slaughterhouse. I thought this was love song by the melody. I've been tricked ha ha.

[@ShuffleToExpresss]

+kipponi grotesque if you think of it that way. I'm getting that her body is torn apart in what it wants to do, it is confused, her body including the mind

[@kipponi]

+ShuffleToExpresss Better explanation than mine. I was a little satirical.

[@badassets]

""" I’m troubled by having two heads They have different arguments Change to not assimilate Arguments that don’t mix inside of a cup I try to swallow all Divide a body into two Each one wants to go in different ways Finally found the magic words The adventure that Dorothy had in Oz Make all back to Zero Different with what I hope Different with what I like Different with what I hope Different with what I like There is a world (there is a world that is different with what I hope/like) It’s interesting It’s not interesting Enjoy everything Enjoy everything I’m troubled by having two heads They have different arguments Change to not assimilate Arguments that don’t mix inside of a cup I try to swallow all Divide a body into two Each one wants to go in different ways Finally found the magic words The adventure that Dorothy had in Oz Make all back to Zero Different with what I hope Different with what I like Different with what I hope Different with what I like There is a world (there is a world that is different with what I hope/like) It’s interesting It’s not interesting Enjoy everything Enjoy everything """
