Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Lounge Lizard]

The other artist that uses keys is Mariah Carey.

Did you mean Celine Dion?

There are... a few of them, to be honest, aren't there.

All of them absolutely must be listed to make a point

[Django Butterworth]

This is the longest morning ever...

No computer access until lunch.

THIS SUCKS!

[stip]

and since this is a good way to learn the songs, might as well try swallowed whole.

crap, work call. this will have to wait

[Jaeti]

Let the Records Play

when the kingdom comes he puts the records on and with his blistered thumb hits play
and with the volume up he goes and fills his cup and lets the drummer drum take away
the pain
the pain

breaking
foresaken
what’s that you’re taken
BLEEDING the feeling
he lets the records play

??? future dim
The cigarette light’s in
the vaporizer green light grim
and when the shot glass talks he goes to listens up
until he’s nice and numb again
again

shaken
the breaking
not one for faking
the reeling (???) is healing
he lets the records play
there’s wisdom in his ways

I’ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I’ve been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I’ve been off but ???? my feet
my feet again

shaken
foresaken
what’s that you’re taking
the weeding
the feeling
he lets the records play

shaken
but breaking
not one for faking
the reeling is healing
he lets the records play
there’s wisdom in his ways

Every one of these songs is better than Mind your Manners. Which is all I wanted.

[Thejambi]

Best i could do

Swallowed Whole:
I can feel the dawn, I can feel the earth
I can feel the living all around…..
I can choose a path, I can choose a word
I can start the healing, Bring it now….

Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end
Feel the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise, gets swallowed whole

I can feel the sun, I can see the sound
I can set myself right hear and drown….
I can feel the rush, I could clear the clouds
I could set the needles spinning love/loud…..
I can hear the crash, I can feel the pound
I can feel the current pulling down….

Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end
Feel the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise, gets swallowed whole

With no quiet to be found
spirit lifted off the ground
and what lies beyond the grave
might be welcomed change
And will come, come what may
with no rest in peace
Until that day

I could choose a path, I could choose the word
I could start the healing, Bring it now….
I could be the sun, I could be the sound
I could set myself right here and drown

Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
And the Chapter I’ve not read
Turn the page

[Juvenal]

Let The Records Play is bad....the others are ok.

I think "Getaway" is terrible, "LTRP" and "LB" are bland and boring, and "Swallowed Whole" is good.

Least surprising review on here.

Let The Records play is the rocking song on a Shania Twain album. If I heard the song sung by someone else I would bet real money Mutt Lange wrote it....

[wilkins]

Really loving Getaway.

And, for RM's sake, a gradual leak is best.

[harmless]

I’ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I’ve been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I’ve been off but I'm on, I'm upon (above?) my feet
my feet again

[drunk on ego]

I could feel the dawn, I could feel the earth, I could feel the living all around round round round. All around round round round

I could choose a path, I could choose a way(?), I could stop the healing, bring it now now now now, bring it now now now now

Whisper songs inside the wind, breathing in forgiveness, like vibrations with no end, hear the planet humming. What is clear far from the noise, get's swallowed whole

I could feel the sun, I could see the sound, I could set myself right here and drown drown drown drown, to drown drown drown drown

I could feel the rush I could clear the clouds, I could set the meter spinning loud loud loud loud, loud loud loud loud loud

I can hear the crowds, I can feel the pound(?) I can feel the current pulling down down down down, down down down down

Whisper songs inside the wind, breathing in forgiveness, like vibrations with no end, feel the planet humming. What is clear far from the noise, get's swallowed whole

With no quiet to be found, spirit lifted off the ground and what lies beyond the (grave), might be welcomed shades and will come, come what may, with no rest in peace until that day

I could choose a path, I could choose a way, I could stop the healing, bring it now now now now, bring it now now now now

I could be the sun, I could be the sound, I could set myself right here and drown drown drown drown, to drown drown drown drown

Whisper songs inside the wind, breathing in forgiveness, and the chapter has not read, turn the page

Stip got there first but heres what i had

Oh when the kingdom comes
he puts his records on
and with his (???)

And with the volume up
he goes and fills his cup
and lets the drummers drum take away
the pain the pain

braking forsaking (foresaken maybe)
whats that you're takin'
reading the feeling
he lets the records play

should the future dim
a cigarette lights him (not sure here)
(??? something about a green light)
when the shot glass talks he knows to listen up
until he's nice and numb again, again

shaking the waking
not one for faking
the feeling is healing he let's the records play
theres wisdom in his ways

ive been down and i fell so hard and far from grace
ive been hurt and i still recall the (?) her face
ive been off but im the (?) my feet again

braking forsaking
whats that you're takin'
reading the feeling
he lets the records play

shaking the waking
not one for faking
the feeling is healing he let's the records play
theres wisdom in his ways

If I read the "If I heard someone else sing this song" argument one more time, I'm gonna lose my shit.

On the record: if I heard plenty of PJ songs sung by another band, I probably wouldn't like them as much because they wouldn't sound like PJ.

I'll work to make my next batch of opinions more surprising

I like Getaway and LB, not sure 'bout LTRP/SW, definitely it's new direction to the band

[lecherouslittlestump]

so, the general consensus is that these songs suck ass?

[LZ]

Was on the old board and thought I'd sign up again...

Could someone PM me the gmail account details?

Thanks!
