We got on well
None of that Yin and Yang
Just an infinite grey
We learned to understand
To play with and against
Settled down to stay in the surf
Bounding up like buddies
Call came today
Had a way of leaning
on fences, cars
Workers hands
Nail polishing
Used to never really have
much to do with others
In your sisters words
I recall the voices and the names
May 1st snow, a blackout, warm spring rains
The always-there and everything mundane
The weight of your hand
All that disappeared
Settled down to stay in the surf
Bounding up like buddies
Call came today
Night time will rise
up from the ground
It's not from above
Opens like a mouth
Doors - Bear Quartet
Released in 2001 on the album Gay Icon, "Doors" stands as a defining track in the electronic and experimental music landscape. The Bear Quartet, a project often associated with the UK's underground electronic scene, utilized this recording to explore themes of identity and social interaction through synthesized textures and rhythmic precision. The song exemplifies the genre's tendency to blend atmospheric soundscapes with driving beats, creating an immersive auditory experience that resonates with listeners seeking innovation beyond conventional pop structures. Its inclusion on Gay Icon highlights the artist's commitment to pushing boundaries within the electronic catalogue, offering a sonic portrait that remains relevant in discussions of early 2000s experimental music.
