To Everyone,
What is your favorite Eisley song so far? And more than that, why is that your favorite? I know it's hard to choose, but c'mon, i like asking random questions. Mine would have to be The Winter Song. It's a gorgeous song that reminds me of two people stuck in a winter storm together without any of the everyday distractions, so they come to realize each other again.

"i wasn't prepared"

it makes me wanna cry sometimes. sherri's voice makes sadness and beauty swim together in deep blues and reds.

it's pronounced "chasdew"


My favorite song changes pretty often but right now it is Becoming you. I love how simple and light hearted it is.

Memories is also one of my favorites. The lyrics are just so awesome
".. dreary birds parade accross a dreary sky and look down below.."
".. after all I am the one who is gone.."
".. distant though i am, orange, gold, and green firing flaming colors surround me..."

I haven't heard the "Marvelous Things" EP yet (I've heard all of the unreleased stuff on the site and the "Laughing City" EP), so I can't figure those songs into my opinion... Sad However, I'd have to say that it's a close call between "I Wasn't Prepared" and "Tree Tops" for me. The former is absolutely beautiful and touching, while the latter is fun to listen to and flat-out invigorating when the whole band kicks in... Then again, "Laughing City" is just so intoxicating--amazing chorus and harmonies, too... I still can't get over their beautiful vocals, powerful chord progressions, and memorable melodies on every song--great stuff! Smile

Laughing City is my favorite. It's what harmonizing voices is all about.

For now, it'd have to be Laughing City. My body nearly shuts off for three odd minutes, while my mind is trying to comprehend the ridiculous gorgeousness of this tune. And the lyrics are simplistic, yet thoughtful and honest.

My fav song is Telescope Eyes. The song itself is so simple yet so intoxicating. It talks about 2 angles of life in which we all deal with at some point. The harmony in the song is un-parrallel to any other ive heard so far. Mr pine has been considered the best song ever made by the way. Ive read that on numerous sites. So Telescope Eyes takes the cake for me. Any song by Eisley really, truly kicks ass. I love them.-----Chris Aldrin p.s. Chauntelle is hotttt

That would have to be Mr. Pine, although Sea King is giving it a good run for it's money (close tie?)

Mr. Pine I've just loved for a while.. dunno.. Sea King I'm really enjoying because for whatever reason it has a holiday feel to it. *shrug*

Stacy and I were just chatting in the kitchen (her and Christie made a
downstairs candy raid and we met with our hands in the jar)..about
favorite songs, songs for the LP and which ep was best. She favors
Laughing City ep....and thinks Laughing City is her best chorus to
date....and thus thinks it might should be on the full length.

I doubt if it'll ever make it, but...one thing to remember: ep's don't really
exist. What percentage of Coldplay's market owns one of their pre-
Nettwerk America recordings...who even know's the name of their indie
label in the UK? Deep fans do, but that's all. Ep's are just tremors...
rumblings of birth...like labor....the real baby is the first record. That's
when 95 % of the industry, the radio market, fans come on board. So, all
the early songs really are just "wasted" as Stacy so aptly puts it.

Just thoughts. My favorite song: gosh....i dunno. I love "They All
Surrounded Me"...but I agree with Stacy..."Laughing City" is near perfect.
i think different songs for different moods.

Oh yeah...They All Surrounded Me (because it's so relevant, probably, and the emotions are so relative). I could make a good case for Laughing City too, possibly. Maybe there should be a thread for least favorite Eisley song and why. Idea That might be interesting.

Golly, Poster


Tough choice. Three way tie. Head Against The Sky, Mr. Pine, and Marvelous Things. MT is barely ahead. Man, this is a hard question. I going to submit this before i change my mind (and i most likely will).

Best
