A Conspiracy

I've felt like talking about another older song again and I realised I hadn't yet talked about A Conspiracy. A Conspiracy is off Amorica and has been played 171 times live, which puts it on the higher side. Crowesbase details that A Conspiracy was"[o]riginally titled "Night Eyes", this song was originally recorded during the Tall sessions and played at a slower tempo. The song was completely rerecorded for Amorica."

In the iTunes originals interview, Chris said:

"A Conspiracy . . .[is] one of those songs about how weirdly isolated we probably felt we were . . . by then . . . half the guys are living in Atlanta, the other half are in L.A. and everybody's kind of growing up a little bit by refusing to ever grow up . . . that song to me is fairly tongue in cheek. A lot of times a rock 'n roll song is a good place to sort of cryptically deal with your distractors and if someone didn't know what it was, we were always glad to confuse them a little more."

What I love about A Conspiracy is its beat -- just the beginning chords sound so, so good to me. I do have a very favourite line in A Conspiracy too-- one of my favourite TBC lyrics ever -- "Tried to stay away from this year's big thing / Ain't as easy as it seems / To find a mutual dream" I love this song -- it's a perfect TBC combination of lyrics and heavy hitting chords . . . I can't believe I haven't talked about it sooner!

Did you ever hear
The one about last year
It was all a lie
Ain't it funny how the time flies
What we gonna do baby
What is left for us to prove
I've never stolen nothing, not a thing
Tried to stay away from this year's
Big thing
Ain't as easy as it seems
To find a mutual dream
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less
I got to know confess

Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy

Now you got a question about your answer
Say try your adam's apple
You talk it try it bite it right
So now you want to fight? Ok
Let's step outside
I got tradition it's an addition
My definition it don't hold me back
Well what you think about that
What you don't understand
This is a very old land
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less
I got to know confess

Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
