Clem Snide – I Love the Unknown

I heard this on last week’s That Sound Radio and immediately grabbed it via my iPod Touch. (And, really, that’s going to be the way the iPhone/iPod Touch has the biggest impact, in my opinion: A tiny portable but still useful Internet appliance you can always have with you.)

The lyrics after the jump.

she asked him,
“why can we not be together
why is it we have to part
why did you leave with a stranger
when i am revealing my heart?”

because i love the unknown
i love the unknown
he says he loves the unknown
because i love the unknown
i love the unknown
he says he loves the unknown

they asked him,
“hey, where’s this bus going?”
and he said, “well, i’m really not sure.”
“well then, how will you know where to get off?”
and he said, “the place with the most allure.”

because i love the unknown
i love the unknown
he says he loves the unknown
’cause i love the unknown
’cause i love the unknown
he said he loves the unknown

and then his father got him a job
and it paid well
but every day it felt the same
well, his father was really heartbroken
when he quit and changed his last name

the doctor asked him what he was afraid of
just what was he running from?
he said, “it’s not a fear of success, nor of closeness
but of going through life feeling numb.”

that’s why i love the unknown
i love the unknown
he said he loves the unknown

because i love the unknown
i love the unknown
he says he loves the unknown

because i love the unknown
i love the unknown
he says he loves the unknown

2. Excellent sound. When iPhone firmware 2.0 is released (soon) will that provide any spillover for your iTouch?

3. It should. The update in January opened the door for real-time weather, stocks, e-mail, Google Maps and interface customization.
