the end of trolly wood, hands down. when we first got the album in ryan and i sat around and grooved on the whole thing in one sitting, and it hit trolly wood, the only song i wasn't familliar with already, and he and i shut up and stared blankly at something for 3 minutes, when it hit those claps, i was speechless, it was so masterfully done. such a great ending, it just caps it off, plus trolly wood is an amazing track...

one of my favorite endings to an album...

Orange, gold, and green
Firing, flaming, colors surround me
I'm always wondering where you are.
I'm always wondering where you are.
Darling shouldn't I be the one
Wondering after all I am the one who is gone
I'm always wondering where you are.

Who is gone"

that owns everything.

i wasn't prepared ... 2nd verse, when stacy comes in. it just sounds so flippin cool on room noises. it sounded cool on laughing city, but ... i dunno. it's a different cool. a cooler cool. a cold, perhaps.

i love that song.

ALREADY MENTIONED AND TOTALLY AGREE:

Brighty Wound's second verse. That counter melody gets me everytime.

Memories' bridge. My jaw dropped at first listen because it totally blew the MT EP version away.

Trolley Wood's vocals and ending. "Awww good job!" is just the cutest thing ever, and I shudder at the word "cute" so that means alot.


Honorable mentions:

"I cut the moon in half"

"Golly Sandra" chorus + "You look so beautiful it hurts me slightly"

I really love that part. Now if it owns everything...well to me I would say no. Trolly Wood like granpaturtle mention, is an awesome way to finish the album and it's a sweet track to listen to on the road.

The chorus on "Trolly Wood". Very Happy

"Lost at Sea" sent chills down my spine the first time I heard. I love that song! Oh, and the first time I heard "Golly Sandra", I wanted to get down and boogie woogie!

I'd have to say the second verse of Brightly Wound. I don't know how many times I've listened to it, but those dualing vocals never fail to give me a chill.

Honorable mention: Weston's snare fill in the first part of Plenty of Paper's chorus, which inexplicably gives the whole song twice as much groove.


i agree with the second verse bit, especially when sherri sings the "i had tangles in my haaaaaair but yoooou make me feel so pretty", gets me everytime.'

But my favorite moment from Room Noises is from when it starts to when it ends and everywhere in between where I just wish it wouldn't end.

The bridge (ending?) to Memories... and I love how Weston changes his drum part when Sherri & Stacy switch vocals. And it's perfect how all the instruments fall out as the vocals come together.

The "ooh-ahhh" at the end of Just Like We Do.

I like how they say "day" and "Hallelujah" in Trolley Wood.

Oh and I just love this part of Lost At Sea

Still…
Floating soft
I am dreaming
And I’m glad I’m lost
And still…
With my fingers
Drawing circles
In the water
In the water
And still…
Still…
You’re always there

Honorable Mention: "just like we do". this song makes me want to punch things and cry. in a good way.
