Like I said, they're stolen demos. You'd have to track down someone who already has them. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Eisley plays "weird" really well, almost too well...hmm? _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower. The world is R. Kelly's shower.

yeah, they're wierd but i looove them. im kind of glad that the didnt make it to the studio, cause most of the band's recordings seem to strip away something in stacy's vocals that is way apparent there, esp. Aristicats. (the end, holy moly) The Mainframe is kind of like ODISfA pt. 2 with the bronchitis and whatnot. ha. Y'all can get back to the original discussion now. let's please not make this a discussion about how a "real" fan wouldn't ever think of listening to the baby tracks, because that's ridiculous. I'm about as real of a fan as they come. those two songs are, in my opinion, two of the best that the band has ever done and the best demos of any artist i've ever heard-they should be embraced and enjoyed. |

Once again, agreed princesstripandfall, especially about the vocals. But yeah, I didn't want this to become another stolen tracks discussion...though I know the thread/topic pretty much lends itself in that direction...  I just thought the possibilty was neat!
Music_Lover wrote: those definately have to be in the "weird" category, i wonder if they've any more recently, how awesome would that be? Eisley plays "weird" really well, almost too well...hmm? They definitely do! Especially early Eisley. "Tree Tops" is different both musically and lyrically. "Queen of Leaves" musically (though what an image lyrically!)..."Lady of the Woods" falling and breaking her wrist in a well, poor girl! Actually that whole song, with the intro and the upbeat version of the song, is amazing. Even "Marvelous Things" and more recently "Invasion" to a certain extent. That's just a few. I know a lot of those songs the band contributed to just being very imaginative, books, and having to make things up because of youth...but I don't think that was horrible! They seem just as comfortable expanding the possibilities with their songs as they do with their catchier, more accessible songs. This is nothing against the more "real" lyrics. I love both, but just giving some love to the weirder side of Eisley.

I love both, but just giving some love to the weirder side of Eisley. Lady of the Wood didn't fall down a well, somebody threw her down there. "Oh no sir, it's oh so sad she was taken away." I love that line. They probably won't mess with any of those older songs that were stolen because of the negative vibes. I like the older weirder psychodelic fantasy songs a lot, possibly better than the new stuff, but I think those days are gone. It makes me sad that Sherri and Stacy feel embarrassed by the lyrics to Marverlous Things. On the old live "They All Surrounded Me" track I have they say something like "This next song is about a dragon." totally straight-faced and without shame. _________________

Which is to say, that's how I remember it as well. Also, I agree with everything else in your post. While I love the new album with the passion of 1000 burning suns, what I wouldn't give for just one more Brightly Wound or Marvelous Things. _________________

While I love the new album with the passion of 1000 burning suns, what I wouldn't give for just one more Brightly Wound or Marvelous Things. i totally agree. i love the album and the band to death (er, alot), but honestly i think it relies way too heavily on repetition. come clean, in my opinion, is the most "beautiful" song on the cd, but the repetition of the pre-chorus/chorus kind of makes me bored. sorry if that offends anyone, but it's true. (Not to say that that keeps me from listening to it a good 4 times a day!) I miss their imaginations. I'm proud of the new cd because they're proud of it and it is an amazing album, but the straightfoward lyrics dissapoint me a little. |

Everbody looks back on their old songs and laughs. I think it's pretty much a requirement. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

I lurve that song. Okay--here it is again! So "Lady Get Away" is definitely an Eisley song and I've never heard of it. That's what I get for going to school and getting too busy to check in on Trolleywood. College sucks. Although, I did make President's List last semester so I guess...no--no it's still not worth missing out on Eisley Music News. And how is it that a song that only made it into pre-production has been heard by people--live?? I don't remember this song being played at the Texas shows. I need some help people--I'm going to be studying in England for two semesters and if there are Eisley songs I don't have, I need to know how to have them. I know their music is going to be of great comfort for me when I am sad and lonely over there. I'm still freaking out because I found a better version of "Lady of the Wood" on some random sight when I wasn't even trying to search for it, but unfortunately can't find a way to put it in my music library in order to put it on my ipod. "Lady of the Wood" is my absolute FAVORITE Eisley song and I would kill--KILL to have the full version that has better sound than the one from OGG. The problem is I leave next Tuesday so I'm running out of time to figure this all out. Sorry...like anyone wants to hear my problems. |

And also: Their old stuff is my favorite stuff--the b-sides are my top faves because of the fact that they're different and "weird" and rougher (e.g. without professional sound/mixing guys coming in and changing stuff) These versions are definitely more artistic and imaginative b/c the first thing the suits do (in my opinion) is water the sound down and standardize the songs and basically take away pieces of their character. I think the original version of "Telescope Eyes" is infintely better than the album version. The lyrics are better the sound, or feel if you will is better. I may have already said this in some other thread...or maybe it was my myspace blog review of Combinations...anyway, that's how I feel. |
