 Post subject: Eisley's songwritingPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2007 10:47 pm 
As the girls grow older I think it will very interesting to see how their lyrics change--and IF they change much. Even though very creative adult minds can certainly appreciate lyrics about snowflake villages and people made with gumdrops, I really look forward to an Eisley song about a subject that is overtly mature. Not because I don't like their style (obviously I do or else I wouldn't have been a fan for all these years) but just to see how they would handle such a topic lyrically. Though I probably won't have to worry about such a song appearing on an Eisley album for at least a few years... By the by, I've been on this forum for about 3 years, have been a fan for maybe 4, have not posted for about 2 years... (as far as anyone knows...) and am very disappointed in a certain moderator's lack of a sense of humor re a very recent post...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! It took me a long time to compose that message and if more people had the kind of creativity which you have chosen to supress, there would perhaps be more bands like Eisley...yet you choose to keep this valid display of artistry hidden from the forum because it does not conform to YOUR notion of humor/creativity...the very mindset that keeps bands like Eisley from achieving the next level of success that they so greatly deserve. ::gets off of soapbox:: |

I haven't seen the post of what you're going on about but I can't see how a Moderator on this board is going to stop there being more bands like eisley. |

Ya let's just focus on the first part of my post, please...the second part was just meant for a specific person, whose identity, unfortunately, I don't know. So...any thoughts on Eisley lyrics changing as they grow into adulthood? Anyone?? |

They will obviously mature as they grow older and experience new things in their lives. I don't think I can personally predict how they're going to change though. Maybe they'll become protest singers. |

I hope not...I can't imagine little 10 year old Stacy singing about rape... By the way, for the record (no pun intended), had Blackened Crown been on Room Noises, it would have been one of the top 2 most alt-rock/mainstream-friendly/buzz-worthy songs on the album, along with I Wasn't Prepared. I think someone dropped the ball on this one...if I Wasn't Prepared had a reasonably good video (which it didn't) and a reasonably intelligent label (which apparently it doesn't), then right now we'd be talking about what time the Eisley edition of Loaded will be on FUSE, instead of having to endure Avril Lavigne's "How to Sell-Out in Music Without Really Trying"-athon. |

Personally I don't think a visuals make a band on the mainstream. Admittedly, a video will have a big part in it, but I don't think it's make or break. |

Actually it seems like you may not have to wait that long. Maybe its just me, but besides the aliens, I'm not sensing too many "fanciful" songs (yet). I'm just going from the few that we've heard. I have a feeling they will still have an interesting way of wording common feelings and situations (like JLWD, Vintage People). Who knows though, I guess we will all see soon enough! |

Or they could have dropped a million bucks on payola, promotion and other (normal) radio push stuff on the song, only to have it ignored for some American Idol reject. That would have been nice ... Good songs get tossed at the radio all the time, only to die with a whimper. I think it was far more marketable than it had a chance to be, but the past is the past. I'm kind of bored with this constant Room Noises talk when there's a new album so close. That's just me personally, though ... _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

That's just me personally, though ... Yes, that's also a possible outcome. I just think it would have been better for Eisley to be ignored by the masses rather than ignored by the marketing department of their label. And I don't see what's wrong with talking about Room Noises at any point in time, regardless of how close a new album is. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

And I don't see what's wrong with my opinion that it's silly to beat a dead horse. It's not like people can't post about it just because I said it was silly. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
