can someone send me a private llink to such a song? both trackings - and
I emphasize 2, have split piano and...

wait. I'm listening to the LC version now.

sherri's voice sounds pretty ok, but the new one is way better vocally.
second verse sounds similar. New version is slightly faster. the old
version has interesting guitar plunks on one of every measure... here's
the bridge... piano solo....second half is only vocals on
top of piano. No guitar like on new version. Also new version has big
strings and layering. Fatter, builds more. Both are good in my opinion.
Second compromises nothing but is bigger without seeming overworked.

oh wow... the old Telescope Eyes now... hmmm. no comment. for that
song, i just need a shovel and a nice plot. j.k. we'll soon find out what
that song's destiny will be. But you know what? it's a good thing this
didn't get releaseed. not only are the chords the same as Snow
Patrol's "Run"...but it's the same meter.

Over the Mountains...ahhhh....i'm in heaven. gotta go.

I will always, always, always sing "freak" along with Telescope Eyes at the appropriate part since, you know, that's what the lyrics are supposed to be. Smile

boyd wrote:
thanks. listening now....

it's the laughing city...of course. But, unmixed? how could it have gotten
out? the producer mixed it the week after. hmm...sounds good.... love this song.
oh....i remember now, YES! we added the piano thing after...felt like it needed more pause before the emotional storm. Same song... recorded in 4 hours beginning to end from midnight till 4am as an afterthought. Wonder how it leaked. Looks like we'll have to hire a killin', shivin', posse. bowid

you can quote me on that thread ifn u wunt. i have to get back to work

Only the Matthew in the song. Not hate, but I disliked it. I have at least one Matthew that I'd hate to hate, so it's not a general dislike of Matthews, just the Matthew formerly in Telescope Eyes. heh
