Mark 1 Group: Members Posts: 65 Joined: June 2001 Posted: July 31 2003, 04:19 That's interesting - I always understood the 'Kin Ke-Se' part as 'He can't say'... always interpreted the song as an overzealous rock singer going nuts and garbling all his lyrics. Mind you, that interpretation is influenced by the live Edinborough concert. Which was great, btw... I'd loved to have been there. Back to top

Mark 1 Group: Members Posts: 65 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Aug. 02 2003, 14:36 Well what do you know... I had another listen and it isn't 'He can't say' after all, it's the aforementioned sounds although perhaps more of a 'Ki ka se' than a 'Kin ke se' (not that that changes much, I guess). What I am wondering about is this: is this indeed nonsense or is it some other language? Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 02 2003, 17:58 It is pure nonsense. Check out what I think is a more accurate transcription here [the second post on the page has "ALTERED STATE" on top ]. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Gandalph Group: Members Posts: 81 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Aug. 03 2003, 10:23 It's very strange but it seems like people can hear what they want to hear. I always used to think it sounded like "Who cares if, he cares if" followed by "I care, I care" But I can not for the life of me hear "Who's Gonna Get Your Virgil" and "Who's Gonna Get Your Home". -------------- Yet Another Mike Oldfield Web Site - http://www.dbennett.karoo.net Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 03 2003, 18:04 Just a side note: the official TBII sheet music says "Kin-ke-se, key-ke-se". And "Kinkése, Keykesé" is what I heard the very first time that I heard the piece, during the Edimburgh concert. That and nothing else . Strangely, the two words sound vaguely like some Abruzzo dialect expressions which respectively mean "Who are you with?" and "Who's there?" (as when someone knocks at the door). And some fan from East Europe (I don't remember his exact name/nick) quoted in another topic the phrase 'kik ezek", meaning "Who are you" in his own language. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I think that's just a very, very English (London-ish) D, viz. "Are you deaDDDD, mummy?" It almost sounds like 'dad's' because she puts a lot of emphasis on that D, but I think it's indeed 'dead'. That's what the sheet music also writes. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 25 2007, 19:21 It seems that the link in my first post on this topic (fifth from the top) is gone from tubular.net. However, I found again that particular transcription somewhere else on the Web... I think it's worth checkin' it out!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Yeah! Nnnnooooooooooooo! Hwooooooooooooooo-oh! Wooooooooooooooooooh! Hwoooooooooooooooooh! Hwooooooooooooooooooh! P.S. All I did to find this was a Google search for "hrr doe". @ David (Gandalph): I think that your "I care" is another very typical RP-English-Londonism. If you stress the H on 'hair' just a little more than usual, as I've heard Londoners do, "I-yee hair" does definitely sound like "I care". -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Aug. 26 2007, 14:25 The first question certainly sounds like 'Who's dead Mummy?' but I must admit I always thought the voice said 'Are you Dad's mummy?' at about 28 seconds in but that was because I felt it was a conversation between a mother & a small child. The kind of questions that get asked that make perfect sense to the child but to an adult, although appearing logical, are amusing and difficult to answer. The ones I've had asked of me...What is an appetite...do my blood cells have birthdays...why has Daddy got long legs... you know the kind of thing. Did Mike have small cildren around at that time? But then I suppose that idea doesn't really tie in with the title Altered State? -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Sounds nothing like "virgil" to me, and besides, I HEAR an English dialogue going on (in those 1st ten lines) - and "Virgil" has no literal or sounding meaning. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.

I agree - "Are you dead mummy" is incorrect. Sounds like "Are you dat mummy". (A child would say "dat" instead of "that"). -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: May 19 2010, 17:27 Ok, what some hear as, "Who's gonna get your virgil" - I hear as - "How the f*** would I know". It makes sense in context of the dialogue, and humour - "Where's your mummy Where's she gone How the f*** wouldIknOW Why's that funny Don't know honey...." -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.
