Comments[edit]
- In an interview with The Guardian, Sandison said that "Come To Dust" "is a musical reprise of "Reach For The Dead".[1]
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
- The intro of the track features a reversed and extremely slowed down sample of the choral piece "Miserere mei, Deus".[2] It is heavily obscured by the prominent synthesizer on the track, however, this can be removed by phase-inverting one of the stereo channels and then combining them to mono. The exact recording of "Miserere mei, Deus" that Boards of Canada sampled is unknown. This sample was discovered by Twoism user personman.
Trivia[edit]
- The title is likely a reference to the funeral song from Act IV, scene 2 of William Shakespeare's "Cymbeline".
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
Fear no more the frown o’ the great,
Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke;
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finish’d joy and moan:
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust. [3]
