okay, i'm terrible at understanding lyrics in music, but here's what i got... how long before i get in before it starts, before i begin how long before you decide but before i know what it feels like where to, where do i go? if you've never tried, then you'll never know how long do i have to climb up on the side of this mountain of mine? the __________ i look up at night planets are moving at the speed of light climb up, up in the trees every chance that you get is a chance you seize how long am i gonna stand when my head ____________? i'll fly before i can stop before i see, things are right way up all that noise and all that sound all those pieces i got found birds go flying at the speed of sound to show you how it all began birds keep flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand ideas that you'll never find all the inventors could never design the buildings that you put up are chipping and chiming, all made up the sun that i couldn't reach or the light that i couldn't seize some things you have to believe but others are puzzles puzzling me all that noise and all that sound all those pieces i got found and birds go flying at the speed of sound to show you how it all began birds keep flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand oh, when you see it then you'll understand all those signs, i knew what they meant something's you can't invent some get made and some get sent oooh oooh birds go flying at the speed of sound to show you how it all began birds keep flying from the underground if you could see it then you'd understand oh, when you see it then you'll understand

hey, anybody written down the lyrics for speed of sound yet?

yes, it should if they followed the version of the baudot code that i posted a link to. i think that people have said another version of the code doesn't even allow for an '&', so it's likely that they are just using a variant of the baudot code. (or they messed up :stunned: )

ah yea i get it... but i see the question mark is similar to the letter b? (im designing a potential 'what if?' cover... :P) the baudot code requires that you use two codes to do punctuation like '&' and '?'...you need to use the figure shift code 11011. this is what they used to generate the '&' for x&y, however it doesn't seem like they used the code that is used on this webpage. they use 11011, 00011 but it looks like it should be 11011, 01011 so, for the '?', if they follow what it is on this page, it would be...11011, 10011

if you look at the key for the code in previous messages and think of the the boxes as 1's and 0's (a box there = 1 and not = 0...the colors don't matter), you can decode the messages with the "binary" column and the "letter" column from that webpage. the most significant bit (the leftmost bit, or 0/1) is the top row and the least significant (rightmost) bit is the bottom row. use a single column as a binary coding for the letter.

here's a good summary of baudot coding: http://home.austin.rr.com/kinghome/signpage/baudot.html

oh and also, GREAT WORK! :D

how'd you find out about baudot code?
