It’s Dev.

Last friday I was standing in the club at the Pukkelpop festival, waiting for Lightspeed champion. And I found myself thinking: “how did I encounter upon this music? and how come I forgot all about it the last few months.”

I know it all started with Test Icicles and not so long after it already ended, but I really liked their music and found it sad they were no more. At the beginning of 2008 I suddenly wanted to know what happened to Dev. So google and myspace (the good friends that they are.) searched for him and send me a youtube video.

Galaxy of the lost by Lightspeed Champion.

I soon fell in love with the music. I can relate to much of his lyrics. It’s about things that people face everyday, all over the world. I absolutely love the ’stay the fuck away from me’ lyrics. A lot of people know what it feels like when you’re in love with someone and they made you think they loved you back and suddenly drop the bomb on you that it’s all not so true, or people who make you feel less then you are. This song is perfect for it:

Finally, I’ve given up all hope.
stay indoors and mope.
tightening that rope.

I’m getting burnt more times than I have before.
I’ve realised once more
that everyone’s a whore.

My faggot hair.
and my stupid clothes.
look good inside closed doors.
can’t take this anymore..

Fall in love, every other day.
then out of love into space.
worlds that i create.

I’m learning my lesson all the time.
learnt from all the crimes.
and from all your lies.

Immy varmer you’re a stupid bitch.
how could you do this to me…

Oh girl,
stay the fuck away from me…
stay the fuck away from me.
oh darling

fuck off
Model chicks they get me so down.
curves so smooth and round.
oh when is it my turn.

I know my thoughts are so absurd,
no reason to treat me
in this party i’m the third.

Fall for all your compliments.
I don’t mean to be blunt.
but why don’t you fuck off

Oh girl,
stay the fuck away from me

It’s hot, in my bedroom tonight.
I’m burning in my lies.
deceit between your thighs.
let’s keep this one to ourselves.
ashamed of myself.
deteriorating health.

how could I have been so fucking dumb.
to think that i’m your number one.
well,baby you flipped the switch.
so fuck off bitch.

You don’t need too many words to express yourself .

Other songs worth mentioning: Tell me what it’s worth, Everybody I know is listening to crunk, Midnight suprise. After listening to these, I bet you have a pretty good idea what it’s all about.

I was supposed to see them in march , but I guess I went to a wombats gig instead and that’s why I forgot all about them, but Pukkelpop made me fall in love all over again.

If you want to know more about him, and the band, go here.

A little fashion remark: he knows how to dress himself, really lovely clothes. I’m a fan.

luv,

Phara.
