Now it's the people who think "Deeper Understanding" is the greatest song in the history of music itself vs. the people who are, as usual, wrong about everything. Let's take a look at why we're right: 1. Topic of song. It's as if Kate wrote a song about the folks on Lovehounds! Face it, who here hasn't looked up from "five minutes" of Doom/MUDding/Usenet/IRC/WWW/Whatever your particular poison is, and saw that several hours have passed? 2. Groundbreaking experimentation. Most musicians, when representing the voice of a computer, pick a Stephen Hawking type hollow, metallic sound. Domo Arrigato, Mr. Roboto. Kate went the other way and showed it by the Trio Bulgarka. Which brings us to: 3. Trio Bulgarka. Can anyone think of a more beatific sound than the Trio? Neither can I. 4. Kate's voice. Never has been better. 5. Lyrics. Some folks are bothered by lines such as "I press execute." These folks obviously know as little about computers as they do about music. Gather 'round, kids, it's time for a brief computer jargon lesson from Uncle Stev0. To "Execute" a program means to run it, to make it do what it's supposed to do. "I press execute" is short for "I'm making this program do what it's suppose to do." Understand now? Should I draw pictures? Take it from one who knows: every line - every word in the song is perfect. - Stev0 the Enlighted "Next?" - Steve Jobs
