I searched so i hope this wasn't somewhere else (sorry if it was)

I was wondering if anyone knew who in particular wrote which song. I know some songs are obviously collaborations, I'm just wondering.

I guess we should start with Room Noises and if any one knows already for Combinations be my guest and add it.

i guess im curious because i make a game for myself to guess who wrote which songs but really all i know is that sherri wrote plenty of paper and telescope eyes but other than that i don't have a clue.


any ideas?

Here's a thread from a looong time ago. Not sure if the answers are legit, but heck, better than nothing....

Highlights for those too lazy to click the link Wink

(I remember when I first saw this list, "Over the Mountains" and "Marvelous Things" surprised me for some reason. Probably because a person would just assume if they sing lead, they wrote the song....even with the new songs, that's not necessarily true it seems.)

Well, as far as the new album goes I'm pretty sure Sherri wrote Many Funerals and maybe A Sight To Behold.

I Could Be There For you, Come Clean, and Go Away sound like maybe Stacy wrote them.

Those are just my thoughts though. I think I read that Invasion was a collaboration after they read the book.

It seems kind of like Stacy did more writing on this album, from looking at that list posted above. But, I don't know. I guess maybe we will see in the CD booklet?

Edit - I think Queen of Leaves was maybe a Sherri song.

One Day I Slowly Floated Away might have been written by Sherri since she sang the demo. I think they sing the songs they write for demos. Stacy sang I Could Be There For You and Ten Cent Cent Blues on the demos. Sherri sang A Sight To Behold on them.
