Thank you! I've been wondering what the exact lyrics were for that, for a long time. Funny thing is, now that I now what he's saying the words sound pretty clear

lol...I know this feeling...years back I wrote an email to Dev and asked him for the words...he answered and made me a lucky bastard. Since then I can sing along with that song without feeling stumbled.

I know I'm bumping a stupidly old thread, but I just gave Terria another chance. AWESOME.

Favourite songs in order:

The Fluke
Nobody's Here
Earth Day
Deep Peace
Down and Under
Bonus Track

Awesome album!

The Fluke is definitely one of the best songs ever (just like Mountain, Earth Day, Deep Peace, Canada, Down and Under, Nobody's Here, Tiny Tears and Stagnant also ). I can't understand people who think it's 'cheesy', cause I don't think that anything that Devin has done is 'cheesy'. Just uplifting and happy. Just the way it is meant to be

Actually, the first two verses may very well be the best that Dev has ever done. Well, after The Greys. Or Storm. Or Slow Me Down. Oh, goddammit, I'm a fanboy, so I'll just say that everything he has done is best he's done

Apparently you haven't listened to "Satan's Ice Cream Truck."

Does anyone understand the words Devin screams in The Fluke? On the official Hevydevy Records site there are lyrics to the song and it says FREAK!!! FLUKE!!! But I can't hear those words in the real song... I think it must be a mistake. But I am also wondering what Devin does say.

It's true though. Around 1:20 he says (I think)

I AAAAAM.... FREAK!!!! FLUKE!!! FREAK!!!! (with lots of echoes)

I do hear and understand it.

With lots of echoes indeed

I love this song...entire album is amazing though.

I wish there was a tab for this song though : (

The whole Terria-album is awesome, but The fluke goes to the top 5. Positive and happy song with great riff and stuff like that. I remember when I was riding my bike and listening to Terria. When Down and under was playing, I was very relaxed, smoked a cigarette and drived slowly. When The fluke started, shivers went down my spine, I threw the fag away and started to drive faster. That song was a fucking energyshot! I wonder what people were thinking: seeing me drive my bike fast as hell, like 60 km/h and singing "I'm a fluke in your world" and stuff like that. Good times, good memories, indeed! The fluke and whole Terria kicks fucking ass and helps me to get through hard times.

"...Corona without a lime"

!??

Am I the only one who didn't knew he sang that? Hearing the song in my head, I know in which part he sings it, but I mean.. Listened to that album 1000 times.

But my native language is not English, so lyrics often elude me

Yes there are!

It's got almost all elements on a single-song scale that make Terria the masterpiece it is on a grand scale.

This sounds about right. The Fluke is definitely a standout song of the album, and a standout song of Devin's career. Likewise, it's one of his best "upbeat" songs.

Pound for pound I don't think it's the best song on Terria but the middle section from 2:40-3:55 ish is one of the most beautiful segments of music I've heard from Devin or anyone else.
