Song of the Moment: Getaway

[WtOB?]

it started out as a nice metaphor until he got out of control with "near-barren tundra" (tundras are always near-barren, you're just looking to use as many words as possible to impress yourself) and go with either "spiritless" or "ordinary", using both here was again just looking for as many words as possible...

He... is... Ed?!

nah, he's better than ed. he's better than all of us. he's jorge.

I can say with confidence that this is my least favorite of the leaked tracks. The verses are okay but that fucking chorus is a sickly, undergrown seedling plucked right out of the near-barren tundra of spiritless and ordinary pop rock. I'll revisit it when a better quality file comes along, but this is my opinion after 3 listens.

Who are you writing for now? Who's house style is that?

this is an internet forum, not a magazine article with horrible readability.

Hopefully Jorge knows I was kidding, I just LOL'd at the metaphor.

Jorge's a great writer, I'm just glad he promotes his blog and music-writing instead of his RM posts.

well that particular quote isn't great writing at all. which is fine, but it comes across as if it's supposed to be.

Don't they all? I mean DON'T THEY ALL? I write so much in this forum because I secretly hope some music magazine / journal has talent scouts scanning the Internet for new journalists.

i'd recruit you, harmy.

My take on the lyrics after close (and drunk) observation

everyone’s a critic looking back up the river
every boat is leaking in this town
everybodys thinking that they'll all be delivered
sitting in a box like lost and found

but i found my place
and it’s alright
we’re all searching for a better way
get this off of my plate
it’s alright
I got my own way to believe!!

find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
we all could use a sedative right now
holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
all alone and sinking is abound 

and if you want to have to pray
it’s all right
we all be thinking with our different brain
get this off of my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway!!

science says we’re making love like the lizards
try and say that fossils ain’t profound
Simon says when we are not allowed to consider
Simon says stand up sit down you’re out

But I found my place
and it’s all right
I’m bearing witness to substantial things
get this off of my plate
it’s all right
I’ve got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
there’s no way
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway-Hey!
Hey hey!!

It’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway!!
It’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
for god’s sake!!
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway!!

Now make your getaway!!

Ah, Simon says. That makes much more sense than what I had

Are PJ fans that dumb now? Or is it that PJ does once again have mass appeal, and the tyranny of the majority with their lack of discriminating taste are just gobbling up whatever is bird-dumped into their mouth

I suspect this guy is just stip making a second account so he finally has evidence of this kind of post happening.

I was thinking of linking to this guys 4 posts in that thread AND the 80s thread

it started out as a nice metaphor until he got out of control with "near-barren tundra" (tundras are always near-barren, you're just looking to use as many words as possible to impress yourself) and go with either "spiritless" or "ordinary", using both here was again just looking for as many words as possible...

He... is... Ed?!

nah, he's better than ed. he's better than all of us. he's jorge.

Jesus, Adam, what is your problem with platy?

[Jorge]

LOL @ Adam reviewing my RM posts

I like the stark contrast between your post here and their website slogan. Makes me want to read more to see how they get from the promise of spring to the barren garden

It's almost the same light / dark contrast being displayed in Lightning Bolt, isn't it?

I'd comment, but I'm too busy trudging through the tundra.

revelC!

[Jorge]

Not gonna lie, I'm puzzled and mystified by Adam implying that "tundra" shouldn't be modified ("barren tundra" is a common phrase), and that "spiritless" and "ordinary" are interchangeable in any way. But he's given more thought to my post than even I have, so I'll defer to his expertise.

[harmless]

All the words have their own associations, yes.

[stip]

look, I disagree with platy's assessment of these songs but I'd much rather disagree with something literate.

[Jorge]

And look, you can think that my posts are overwrought or redundant or what-have-you, but your life's gotta be missing something if you're so relentless in picking a fight with someone on a message board. Especially if said person barely ever acknowledges your vitriol. It's like the saddest Don Quixote.
