Yes and no. I mean, I recognise this beautiful music, but it is completely different again with singing.roger wilco wrote:I'm digging it.
Is this how it actually sounds on the album? Can anyone from the listening parties confirm.

Does anyone think Matt will keep to this laid-back slow jam live?

We hadn't heard the song before with that one. But you're right, that still could happen.wilkins wrote:*thinks back to Amongst The Waves snippet*

So is Ed singing quiet or loud with this music? Is it hopeful or mornful? Does it reach up to high places or hide behind the music?Mirella wrote:Yes and no. I mean, I recognise this beautiful music, but it is completely different again with singing.roger wilco wrote:I'm digging it.

Sounds cool. Definately has more bubbles than how the soundcheck sounded but I like it.

I love the random sound effects in it, but I keep imagining bicycle bells and moo cows and it makes me laugh.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I'm sure it will have some godawful chorus that sounds like an 80s sitcom that ruins the rest of the song. Its kinda what they do now.

We've heard the chorus... right? It was murky but it won't go to any place other than what we've heard.

I am still compiling the reviews so you can see the combination per song, but first we need to go and watch the last episode ever of Dexter...Tj wrote:So is Ed singing quiet or loud with this music?
