 Post subject: Drug SongPosted: Sun Jan 20, 2008 12:15 pm 
So I was at a friends apartment who I had recently gotten into Eisley, but she just downloaded a bunch of songs off P2P programs. So I was looking at what Eisley songs she had, and one was called "Drug Song" and I said "What? That's not Eisley, they definitely do not have a song called 'Drug Song'" and she said "well it sounds like them." So I told her to play it, and I started laughing when I heard that it was Over The Mountains. I never really thought of it until this happened, but the oohs and ahs in the chorus do kind of make you feel like your on drugs, or you get the feeling that song would be fun to listen to on drugs (not that I would know). I resolved the situation, and she now has it tagged correctly, and I also explained to her that their drugs of choice are just life, friendship, laughter, and coffee. This happened at like 3:30 in the morning, so I may have thought it was a lot funnier when it happened.

Ha...A lot of their older stuff has that "trippy" (though I like to think of it as "dreamy"  ) feel to it. Over the Mountains is definitely an atmospheric song.
In fact, the other night I was driving through some back road somewhere when that song was playing. I thought how surreal that song is, especially the bridge part where it's just keyboards and vocals. EDIT! ( based on the comments below): YES! I forgot about the original version. That intro used to freak me out (in a good way, I liked the intro) before I read on here what it was about and actually figured out what the lady was saying. Then I just thought it was cool/random/interesting. |

The original OTM began with a woman talking about pain relievers or something like that. Maybe that's where the title came from? Though, some magazine did say they were good to smoke pot to.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

And here I was thinking Eisley was a good, wholesome band.  I'm afraid I can't listen to this devil music anymore. _________________ "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodsman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." |

Though, some magazine did say they were good to smoke pot to. the tape was, according to Mr Boyd, in the Rhodes (?) piano/keyboard when they picked it up way back when, maybe I will stand corrected. I seem to remember Boyd saying it was an old church instrument or something. yours superfan _________________ "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." - Charles Darwin (legend) |

Yeah, the Rhodes used to belong to Don Henley. I believe a friend of the DuPrees had it by the time they got it. But nonetheless, Don Henley owned it at one time (awesome). |
