1. The lyrics of 1969 continue a theme first developed on In a Beautiful Place out in the Country; that of David Koresh and his Branch Davidian sect. A slogan (seemingly a favourite of Amo Bishop Roden) is repeated over and over, with a vocoded voice intoning "1969, in the sunshine" overdubbed at the end.
2. In a 2002 interview with OOR magazine, Boards of Canada explained that "1969" "refers to a specific period in the history of a religious group, and at the same time the period in general, the hopefulness of a forward-thinking generation that wasn't aware of what was coming in their collective future" ([OOR Magazine, 2002])
The "religious group" referred to, given the lyrics, is no doubt the Branch Davidians.
Lyrics
