Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
i feel like that song (if it remains true to this recent form) is more of an exercise of singing melody rather than a real song

I feel like if I'm ever asked about what I hate about this song, I will never run out of things to say.

It feels like the first song one writes after sitting with a chord book for beginners on guitar.....

I'll not lose my faith that it will sound better on the albumstip wrote:just heard the demo. it's still a pretty song since eddie sounds nice, but it's boring. This will really need something special to color in the spaces, since there are so many of them. Maybe the context of the album will help too, but this certainly seems like it is in the running for weakest closer

It's gonna sound better on the album because it couldn't sound worse.

theplatypus Thank you,
Not a fan of Eddie's solo stuff but this one is much better than one from the Wrigleys 3/5

Here it is for you folks to listen to.
Thank you very much platypus !
Well, that's clearly a demo or just isolated from Wrigley. It will sound alot better with the violins, mandolins , slide guitar and echoey vocals . It's a nice little song , but shit it is boring.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
The song will serve its purpose as a little acoustic song on the end, and I'm looking forward to the extra instrumentation actually. Hopefully 'Yellow Moon' has a strong enough resolution that it can serve as a 'real ending'.
