Queens of the Stone Age - Made To Parade (Official Audio)

[@merrimackvalleyblackdog45]

"Made To Parade" Climb that ladder You gotta hold your tongue You better turn a blind eye 'fore they take your other one Kneel and bow Take your licks You gotta swallow your pride, hope success comes quick Back that up Run like a rabbit, as fast as you can 'Cause we all trade for what we want Is what you get worth you gave up? If you're alright Then you're made to parade After years at the company winning From the high horse you will ride You will look down at the peasantry Kill themselves to make you smile Slake your thirst, bitches Come get what you deserve Kill the very last whale aboard a yacht of fur Binge and purge I did not notice the weight of the chains till they're cut from me How'd I drag them for so long? Drain the ocean All I am is what you mean to me How I love you above all What you worship is your god You're sure to be a winner, babe Give your best years away To a bloated corporation Who'll work you like a slave Best think twice Oh, I don't know what time it was I just felt so young with a brand new page in the morning sun So you're made to parade with the mess you made? Well, by all means If I followed you, I'd be lost too, that can never be So you're made to parade with the mess you made? Well, float away If I followed you, I'd be lost too, that can never be

From 3:08 to the end of the song is the best work on the whole album. Not trying to take away from the rest of the song or album, but the controlled chaos during that two minutes and eleven seconds is perfection.

Absolutely! For me, both of those of those tracks really take off in the latter half and I feel this does the same

[@allofthecarsofficial6449]

I was thinking the same thing. Those are my 2 favorite songs by them and this song definitely feels like those 2 mixed

[@KreyProductions]

everything about this track is immaculate, the catharsis is palpable. the end of this song feels like you've finally triumphed over something insurmountable, crawling out of that pit that 'i appear missing' depicted so well. it's freeing, uplifting, inspiring, in a way that only josh and the crew can do. the defiance of "if i followed you, i would be lost too, that can never be!" - wow. the whole album is incredible, but this song will age like the finest of wine.

[@Maybe-tu1es]

Yes yes yes! Love your take.

Goddamn, 3:09 the song goes from great to transcendent. What an incredible 2 minutes. I'm in love with the album after the first listen, so glad they're back.

[@CombatClient]

Thought the same.. absolutely masterful!

[@markb8468]

WORD!

[@dereklupia8283]

You guys are both right the ending…magical

[@SeeNickView]

Transcendent is also the word I would use, looooove the switch to major key in this part of the song. Honestly I wish this song was more towards the end. Maybe even the album closer! You want to leave the listener on a high note at the end of the album, plus the fade out and Josh's "wooo"s here and there make it seem like he's moved on from the pain and despair he's lived through leading up to this album. Would have been interesting to if Emotion Sickness were the opener, given how both of these songs have a fade out. Maybe Emotion Sickness represents how well his life was going before COVID (healthy body, healthy marriage, healthy friendships), the middle of the album drags him down due to cancer, the divorce, so many friends dying, then Made to Parade to close showing how such is life and we can't wallow in despair forever. We need to move on to live a better life, and that's what everyone would want at the end of the day

[@danielgoll1855]

Strong lenegan weird chill vibes

[@jerri623]

The beginning of this track is weird to a lot of people but once you realize where is building up to, this song becomes your favourite. MASTERPIECE!

[@PsyQonaut]

This might have finally topped In The Fade as my favorite QOTSA song. The first half that builds the whole song up is great and the 2nd half is just immaculate.

[@arrad77]

This is a classic song to me. Love the synths. 😍

[@stevendoby6004]

This is the best album they've done since Songs for the Deaf imo. It's layered and crazy and beautiful.

[@nahuel5438]

Amazing. Old ideas that melts with new intuitions. The mid section chorus is kind of a reprise of the TCV "Reptiles" chorus.

[@DanielCosta-tr9sx]

I thought the same!

[@soulvein5371]

Getting some of the same vibes. Maybe he started writing for vultures and that just wasn't gonna happen?

I agree, and his bandmates too.

[@nikvist]

My favourite song on the entire album. They are really good at producing songs like this. Previously it was I Appear Missing or Un-Reborn Again. In the second half I get a strong vibe of I Appear Missing, especially live version of that song, where they extended the outro. I'm sure Homme will have some fun with that solo at the end when playing it live.

What a bloody lyric So deep in message, singing, whole band performance. Sound mix, just huge. Definitely a massive poetry, with the pleasure of a loud song.

[@paigto8144]

This song caught my attention from just reading the title for the first time, as a parade is mentioned in Kalopsia and I just felt it would be one of my favorites. The lyrics are so direct and well done, despite the theme it touches the song refuses to sound like a downer and instead is very groovy, with the dance-e synth and a happy sounding guitar solo at the end which fades like if Josh was walking away, exiting victorious, or perhaps just accepting, understanding the world where we stand. It's so good and somewhat reminiscing of Villains.

[@crookedqueen5439]

There’s so much optimism and freedom in this song, it’s pure elation. That “Woo!” at the end ❤️

[@amiewohrer7685]

You guys are such badasses. Thank you for this album, sincerely.

[@williamabbott9437]

It's formulaic and sterile. Stop. Just stop.

[@norijagar]

Queens of the Stone Age has been and always will be my favourite band by a mile, point and case: this song. true Queens fans know what i mean when i say there's always a little secret ingredient in each and every song that makes it truly Queens. in this song it undoubtedly is that super cheeky guitar lead at 1:05 . It's so perfect and infectious I've been humming it to myself daily since the album came out. God damnit I love Queens

[@SanoDragoon]

This is by far my favorite song of the entire album (and has already entered my QOTSA Top 3) . Truly mesmerizing stuff in the second half. Just one thing: In the lyrics provided there are a few mistakes in the last verse. It should be: So you’re made to parade with the mess you made? Well by all means If I followed you I’d be lost too That can never be So you’re made to parade with the mess you made? Well float away If I followed you I’d be lost too That can never be

[@foiledits]

there are more lyrical mistakes in the other parts, but its mostly small stuff anyway

[@PeterVeillon]

That 2nd half hits hard. So far I'm noticing I love the 2nd half of all these songs more than the first half. Not that I don't like the first half it's just that they sure finish strong which will make me come back for more. Definitely not repetitive

[@slomnim]

It's like the first half is the premise, the set-up. And then they proceed to elaborate and continue the intricate story now that we've heard the introduction

[@ss-kg6yr]

I don't like the second part much, it feels like.there is an optimistic twist, like teenagers and the end school getting into summer. Teenagers better dead

[@MopeyN]

​@@ss-kg6yr I see (hear) what you mean. Then again, it sounds broken enough to be a good ending in disguise 😊

Im the opposite. I thought the start of this track was slapping hard asf. The latter stages sound very messy and blown out to me.

[@PeterVeillon]

@steve rainingagain I can appreciate that. I'm such a guitar guy that I think harmonies were building up pretty smooth towards the end. I'm hearing new things over the whole album with each listen.

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

The song’s title is a phrase commonly used in association with Them Crooked Vultures, a ‘super’ group comprised of Josh Homme (their current frontman), Dave Grohl (their former drummer, also Nirvana drummer & Foo Fighter frontman), and John Paul Jones (bassist/keyboardist led zeppelin). ‘Made to Parade’ was found printed on the t-shirts made for the group, poking fun at the definition of a parade, which is typically a procession in a public place in order to “show off” or be seen.

[@gabepickle]

This song reminds me so much of Un-Reborn Again.. How it just builds into something amazing. I am so grateful that I get to listen to this.

[@psychotogether5114]

That outro is an instant classic. Has a major vibe that Queens don’t usually do. Especially on such a dark and moody album. This is my favourite so far. And when I keep going back to it it’s crazy how different the start of the song sounds compared to the outro.
