of Montreal - Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

[@TheWolvyrne]

My parents listened to Of Montreal a lot when I was a kid and I’m recently rediscovering all their music. I’m only just now learning that Kevin identifies as non-binary and genderqueer and it feels amazing to find out someone I grew up listening to has had similar experiences to me. I love the video and Kevin is killing it in that outfit!

[@user-jj6vd7ml5f]

While I agree, this song feels more to be about not being super comfortable in one's own skin. Thoughts?

I wish everyone would chill about Kevin's ever evolving style. He's an artist; experimentation is part of the process, his music isn't made to appease everyone. I really don't think Kevin's music has ever been about appealing to the widest array of people. Of Montreal casts relatable experiences with reality under a surreal, color-filled light that can have quite an enchanting feel. If you're not enchanted by a new artistic choice, then you don't have to purchase the album. But leaving negative comments is kinda sad. Also, what do you expect from a musician who is constantly touring & releasing new music? Loving everything he comes out with would be very unlikely, but discrediting Kevin as a musician or artist bc you have a different taste is small minded af.

[@joncrall4628]

Very well put!!!

[@phillipwilburn3373]

There's truth to your statement, because I had always heard previous Of Montreal stuff and didn't really care for it (this was years ago). I stumbled upon this new song and the other new song released thus far, and I'm in love. I went back and listened to the past couple of albums and they really grew on me. So, there's going to be people turned off by this new stuff, but a lot of new fans like me!

[@chrisreed8465]

Well put.

YOU'RE SUCH A POWER, I WANNA GIVE YOU MY 25TH HOUR

[@arabcadabra8863]

Eight days a week.

[@92RedRevolver]

This song really feels like the response to a night on acid in a locked room with nothing but a mirror and a cassette player that only plays Boney M's 'Rasputin'.

[@ahappyimago]

Haha yeah

[@arabcadabra8863]

Does this room have a window? What floor is it on?

[@qcrew2938]

Just saw this song performed live by Kevin last night...… and holy shit it was one of the most amazing moments of live music I've ever seen

[@TheNetworkShark]

Same. The whole show was amazing

[@lilstardrops]

Sometimes, I say such cruel things to myself while looking in the mirror.... To the point that the words cut me so deeply I can't help but be brought to tears... This song hits home so hard, in a good way. I need to let Kevin be my inner voice sometimes.

[@sugoineweaver2309]

I'm there with you, this song really resonates with my broken psyche It'll be okay though soon !! 🌬

[@filthy_rodent]

Sounds like you played yourself

[@ialves56]

It's been decades since I last listened to of Montreal (stopped after False Priest). And wow, do I regret it. I finally got to White is Relic/Irrealis Mood and it's such a BANGER of an album. Especially this music, which is definitely on the top 3 best things Kevin has done. Video included - they are amazing 💛💛💛💛 Of Montreal is the gift that keeps on giving, reinventing themselves, reinventing music.

[@moodymcsorley]

Same exact situation here. Didn't listen since False Priest and I can't believe how much good stuff I've missed. Paralytic Stalks was the highlight for me, especially Ye Renew the Plaintiff.

[@Varg84]

I sort of forget about them. Then every couple years I'm like " oh yeah, of Montreal! " and I check back and there's a new album or so and it's always awesome.

[@FreedomDaveX]

Kevin became a stand user after getting hit by the arrow seen on the album cover. This is seriously one of his best songs and the album is one of the best.

[@Ellsielocke]

This song is going to stuck with me my whole life - Relate so much to the Body Dysmorphia being trans / dealing with body image problems , Kevin you made something beautiful out of it and i love you for that ❤😭

[@galbeeri8360]

the ending made me cry. i never cry

[@vicgo1068]

Lyrics: Haha, they're drugging us That's how we are here in the fogs Murder of faces ending up prosaic analogues You're the only one with any shock of animation You're the only one who's worthy of my concentration I had to draw a line in my life There's those I have time for There's those I don't What's up with you? You're such a power I want to give you my twenty-fifth hour Thirty-six hundred seconds just for us I'm being serious, I'm really curious Are you afraid? Or just don't dare? Or just don't wanna? Or just don't wanna? Kissing you on Pike In Bellevue Avenue, a quick one at The Roosevelt while Steven was waiting Counting wolves in your paranoiac intervals Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells You should be fucking with no one else Anyone but me is an antipathy Anyone but me is just your enemy Only I see you the way you want to see yourself You should be fucking with no one else You, you, you, you, you should be You should be fucking, fucking Fuck, fuck, fuck You should be fucking with no one else Haha, they're drugging us That's how God gets inside the head Making you feel like it was you saying the things it said The signifiers have no value for us anymore Death is reunion, though we've been over all this before A Prussian Christian bot is something I am not I could teach you a lot, I think you'd learn a lot Are you afraid? Or just don't dare? Or just don't wanna? Or just don't wanna? Counting wolves in your paranoiac intervals Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells You should be fucking with no one else Anyone but me is an antipathy Anyone but me is just your enemy Only I see you the way you want to see yourself You should be fucking with no one else Counting wolves in your paranoiac intervals Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells You should be fucking with no one else I am tripping out on all your future shock I am tripping out on all your body rock Only I see you deeper than you see yourself You should be fucking with no one else You, you, you, you, you should be You should be fucking, fucking Fuck, fuck, fuck You should be fucking with (no one else) My anxiety is my one source of energy Although it is so wasteful keeping all of it inside of me I feel, I feel like it is such a cruelty to be made Self-aware of actualization inside of a simulation I know how it feels It feels, feels ugly Body dysmorphia I know how it feels Body dysmorphic Body dysmorphia Body dysmorphia

This is now my favorite Of Montreal album. Just love it. I also "get" the new videos because I'm the same age as Kevin and probably grew up on the same stuff. If I didn't know those terrible early post punk era vids, I'd probably think these were really terrible videos.

[@Sam-tf9ip]

@@Sam-tf9ip Def go back and listen to the first 5 bowie albums, at least the first Roxy Music album, and the Brian Eno albums from early to mid 70's and maybe some TRex (Musically also Talking Heads - "The name of this band is..." and Workingmans Dead by the Dead, and THEN you'll get a decent point of reference for Kevin Barnes' music.

[@ShowMeEyes]

I LOVE Of Montreal. But I do want to state that this kick-ass track, I feel stems from an original piece by Saäda Bonaire ‘You Could Be More As You Are’ which I believe is from 1982. I haven’t spent time digging in this vid. thread to see if anyone else even knows Saäda Bonaire’s music or if Kevin pays tribute to them out there in the world. Nonetheless, I hear them in this track and it’s lovely if in fact this song is a tribute/inspiration for Of Montreal’s approach to the track.
