Was talking to a friend on msn messenger, and, well, this
ensued:

Chiruresu says:
oi
Chiruresu says:
your name
everythingyoudoisaballoon says:
my name
everythingyoudoisaballoon says:

Chiruresu says:
SPLAIN IT TO ME

I know boards of canada are one of the few groups who
actually put some thought and meaning into their songnames,
so, would anyone care to explain the meaning of this title
to me?

I haven't got the slightest idea. One thought was that it
meant everything you do is nothing, but then again,
air is something, so that doesn't sound very
logic.

Balloons = celebration
Everything You Do Is A Celebration ?

nah, I really don't know.

maybe, everything you do can "raise up", build up, elevate
etc., but is liable to burst at any moment because of a
prick and then you have to start it all over again...

here are some nice thoughts from a week or so ago.
some of them are pretty deep, and probably spot on :)

balloons explode at a certain altitude if released, don't
they? At least if they're inflated with helium, which weighs
less than air.

everything you do is a bomb = everything you do is A-bomb =
everything you do is a nuclear war

hehe.. fuck!

you try hard to do something and then you come to a certain
point when it all goes to hell :)

expansion...?
fragility... ?

a sense that everything you do will expand, effecting the
world around you.

mere speculation.

Anus_Presley - surely a more apt title would be "You are a
balloon" if that were the case?!

I didn't think of it as a literal 'balloon', more like
everything you do has an inflationary effect that expands
and effects more and more things

that's the tricky part - what does the word balloon actually
refer to in this title....?

It could be anything, everything and nothing. And possibly
your mother too.

the whole purpose of the title was to inspire a thread such
as this.

Supposedly the title comes from a personal revelation BoC
had in a forest one day.
