Impossible Germany


Recommended Posts

I thought for awhile this song was about my marriages. My first wife was German, ok 1/2 German, and my second wife is Vietnamese, ok not quite Japanese, but close. Whatever the case, I find myself losing time in Impossible Germany. Is that bad? Thank god it transitions into Sky Blue Sky, and I'm left a way out. How did we ever live in an age without the internet and pre-releases?

That's OK. When South Park first came out, I thought it was about my elementary school (North Park) and that I was the model for Cartman. True story.

I think Impossible Germany is about WWII and how we should learn from our past. I love how it leads into a song that reminds me of someone walking through his home town post-war (SBS).

 

PS. Damn this is a great cd. Addicted from day 1.

You and I think alike. I thought it was about refugees from Hurricane Katrina leaving New Orleans (references to devastation, bands playing (like at NO funerals)) (if not for the fact that it was written before).
