Pinback Lyrics


Pinback combine ethereal pop harmonies with tranquil
rhythms and beautifully hypnotic vocals. Marrying the
stylistic expertise of 3 Mile Pilot and Thingy this band's
music is extremely touching and dreamy.

In January of 1998, San Diego¹s Pinback was formed as a
part-time recording project by Armistead Burwell Smith IV
("Zach") and Robert Rulon Crow Junior. While 3 Mile Pilot,
Zach's previous band, had just fell into a long hiatus and
Rob was able to utilize some down time in his perpetually
busy musical schedule, Pinback was allowed More...

im writing a poem analysis | Reviewer: reyna_rawr
    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

so im writing a poem analysis and i was thinking about writing my paper on this song, i believe this song is very fascinating. besides the fact that i love pinback ever since i heard this song it became my fav song of all time, but anyways if anyone could help me i did appreciate it a lot. i enjoy poems and music such as this if someone had the time to help me with this please it would mean a lot to me, btw i just read the mythology story of odysseus and how he went to fight troy and left penelope in Ithaca, struggling for 20 yrs to return to her and everything. i loved the story and the song just makes it lovely-er. well if anybody could help me with this just email me at foeteen_14@yahoo.com thank you :]


Such interesting lyrics | Reviewer: tim
    ------ About the song Manchuria performed by Pinback

the first paragraph, love the way the voice sounds along with those lyrics, they fit in with each other.
They sent us into their machine
But that plane crashed into the sea
We float alone above the waves
Within a waterproof capsule

can anyone describe what they mean by this?


off by 50 | Reviewer: gina
    ------ About the song Off By 50 performed by Pinback

I believe this song to be haunting and straight from the soul of Rob Crow. Every musical project that he touches is golden. Pinback is an amazing band from California. I've seen them live 2x and I hope to add many more to tally. Off by 50 is very powerful and full of heart. I suggest that you check out the entire album and all of Pinback's catalog. I insist that you listen to some of Rob's lesser known bands!


Tied Up | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

One of my favorite songs by Pinback. Just a note though, there is an error in these lyrics. The line "its a travesty" is incorrect. The line is "Is it Dropsy?". Dropsy is a common goldfish disease which causes the fishes to bloat up to the point where their scales stick out. Not only am I a huge Rob Crow fan, but I also worked in an aquarium store for 5 years. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. :)


gold fish | Reviewer: ROB
    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

its not about a girl on life support! its about his gold fish! his gold fish died when someone dropped pizza in the fish bowl. you people are too damn deep. have you ever heard of a girl with red scales? i think not.

"Don’t wanna see you floating upside down
On the top of the bowl when I
Come round to visit you
Don’t wanna see you floating upside down"

    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

this is amazing. this is how i feel about my Gustavo and Henri.... i got them @ the fair. i won them! i loved them, but i had no idea if they were comfortable or not, and everyday id come home with fingers twist, hoping that they werent belly up. and that they were still swimming in their tank, and id feed them and they grow and grow...til one day i came home, they were happy swimming about, Gustavo, the smaller spotted one, swimming kinda tilteda, and i was like naw im tripping. And i left the room to get some grub. and like he *sniffles yeah.... :[ and idk why but like i loved my babies. and goldfish are fuckn cute, pinback is awesome and this song is cute. henri got flushed too. i havent moved on. . . . but yeah goldfish are cool, theyre my nigguhs and even tho they have a like a 3 sec attention span i love them, theyre good friends...


destructiveness | Reviewer: lilbur
    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

This song is so amazing. Think about it. Just sit down and think about it. It is the most beautiful song Pinback has created. It makes me feel like I'm floating around adventerously. I saw them about a few months ago and they perform it even better. They are such a badass band! I first thought this song was about a girl. Not a goldfish. This is amazing. The lyrics and I might add the bass player is very talented. filled with beautiful beautiful emotions to my brain.


true story | Reviewer: MH
    ------ About the song Walters performed by Pinback

this is actually based on the true story of Larry Walters, who did quite some flight using his lawnchair and a bunch of weather balloons. the guy went out on a hike and shot himself in the heart a couple of years later (that's why he never came back again). for sure one of the most inspiring stories of life...


blah | Reviewer: Sean
    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

The song, directly relating to his fish Penelope, i think is also just a greater analogy relating to a self destructive girl. dont wanna see you floating upside down, talking about the girl, finally dying or something such as. it might even be the self desctructiveness of a substance abuser. eliminate your need for water, fish need water, substance abusers need there substance, could be an analogy. this is just how i percieve it, and makes me think of a girl every time i hear it.


ooookay | Reviewer: Penelope
    ------ About the song Penelope performed by Pinback

Well my name is Penelope and I was looking for a song with my name as the title, and the only song I find is about a GOLDFISH??

Oh well, still a very nice song :)
