Jornada Del Muerto (possible spoiler)

I like the sound of this song a lot but I have absolutely no idea what Mike is saying. Anyone know?

 

Apparently is is Japanese, and translates to "Lift me up, let me go" but I read that from Jay or someone.

 

@Hawk: Cool! I thought it was something like reverse English or something.

 

I thought that too... Then I put it in audacity and reversed it. Turns out it's not... And yeah, I'm guessing it's most likely Japanese.

 

持ち上げて、解放して (mochiagete, tokihanashite)

Literally a rough: "Push up, Detach" In context of the album?

"Lift me up, let me go"

 

So cool. On a similar note, what is Brad yelling into the megaphone on When They Come For Me?

 

Escuchame Ahora, i think. I believe it means, listen to me now, but I could be wrong.

 

Yep youre right

 

Ok sweet, my Spanish isnt that great, so I definitely wouldn't be able to hold any conversations with anyone in that language haha

 

Jornada Del Muerto is the best interlude on ATS

 

It is.
The title is Journey of Death I think.

 

Journey of the Dead is what it translates to, I believe. It's more significant than what it appears. Not sure if many people know what it's actually referring to.

 

Wow. That is awesome.

Its referring to the place of the first atomic bomb testing. Where Oppenheimer makes his famous quote that you hear in The Radiance

EDIT: And that was WITHOUT reading Wikipedia

 

aaand the atomic bomb was used on the Japanese....
