Re: Song of the Moment: Sleeping By Myself
I love this song, and cannot fathom why people dislike it. Not your favorite, fine. But it's a nice performance from Eddie. Pretty good lyrics, nice subtle ukelee song, and such a great juxtaposition of upbeat jaunty music and sad subject matter. My only complaint is that Mike's guitar is too loud, but that's a small complaint.
This is a great song. Absolutely not filler. Probably number 4 for me on L-bolt

I like it. They should have ran with the country pop feel of SBM, Sirens, LTRP, and Pendulum and they probably would have made a better, more cohesive album.

Swallowed Whole isn't terrible, but it doesn't fit.

Yeah. I'm not saying it would be good. Just maybe better?

Re: Song of the Moment: Sleeping By Myself
Was really pissed when I saw this on the tracklist at first. And I still would probably rather hear a totally different song on the album than this. If they were still releasing b-sides, this would have been perfect in that role.
All that being said, this is a great performance of a really nice song. 4 stars.

Everything about this rubs me up the wrong way; the idea of putting it on the record, the production, the arrangement, the guitar tones. It's all horrendous.

Re: Song of the Moment: Sleeping By Myself
The arrangements are probably the best on the album. Not saying that means a lot but I really enjoy what they did with the song.

It is kind of weird how he pronounces "disaster" like "disastguh"

Seeing this in the tracklist was disappointing back when I had hopes of the rest of the album being better. Oh, to be so young again.
