New songs at soundcheck

Can someone tell me around what time of the song they hear strings? I need to really focus and try to hear it.

i dont think there are actually any strings there. A couple folks are just saying "Oh, this spot, this is where i imagine strings would be"

I really do dig this song though. Like, this much.

Does anyone think this might be PJ's 'Beth / Rest'?

Or it could something else.

The last minute I hear no strings, sax, and just the slightest bit of sex.

I don't know, to me it sounds like strings but I could be wrong. At the end I hear stone and mike and another string as a middle layer between the two...

That's sexy right there

I think I'm going to have a drumgasm.

I hear sex at the beginning, too. And in those little solos.

in fact, i don't hear much going on in that song - pretty dull thing but of course, it lacks crucial elements. i'm curious at best, not really enthusiastic.

I'm surprised that you're the first person to say 'dull', actually. It's slow and plodding, and I don't think that takes away the chance of it being awesome but I'm tempering expectations because of that.

yeah, my feeling is that the upper-register arrangements (guitar, vocals, keys, strings) will make it awesome or drawn-out. PJ never made a dull song imo (bad songs, yes, but not dull ones) so i'm fairly optimistic this will turn out good. it's just too basic at the moment for me to judge or fantisize further than this. and i have no urge to listen to it again as it is.

I'm re-listening, and I'm fantasizing. Wish I wasn't, but I can't help it. If only I could something else.

Speed of Sound is dull as shit

Wrong. It's weird on the album but not dull.

I'm not wrong, I just have a different opinion.

Seriously though, you think "speed of sound" is an interesting and good song? I think I've listened to the Backspacer version of that song twice. The Ed demo that came out was a little better, but it's really an awful, boring song that goes nowhere.

You should probably give it more than 2 listens before you form any opinion that you are going to try and argue.

I've heard the song more than two times, I find the studio version really impossible to listen to. I've listened to the solo demo, I've seen it, I've listened to it on boots. I just don't think it goes anywhere, the music is boring and the lyrics aren't very good.

But hey, to each their own.

I really love the harmonizing guitars going on. Love when Stone and Mike do that.

I'm just playing with ya =)
I mostly agree. I like the lyrics a lot. I find the studio version interesting, but nothing more. It doesn't move me at all.

Yes I do think it's an interesting and good song. It's not thoroughly complex and it's quiet, slow and mellow. It doesn't go anywhere but does it need to? It's an acoustic country song and I guess I don't expect those to go anywhere groundbreaking. Production issues and instrumental choices aside, I like the song.

I guess for an acoustic country song like that to grab me, it needs to do so lyrically or through the music.

Again, just an opinion. Someone asked for a dull PJ song, and that's the one that came to my mind.

You should have said Strangest Tribe and gotten everyone into a frenzy.

See, I love strangest tribe

[HardTI]

I think everyone does. Thats why it could have been so great to see the shit storm that comment would cause.

[HardTI]

You guys know what would suck? If this song being soundchecked is really just like 3 minutes long and they are just practicing certain parts over and over.

[harmless]

See, I just find "It doesn't go anywhere" to be a really common lazy accusation, which isn't often substantiated. I don't think Strangest Tribe 'goes anywhere' more complex and surprising than Speed of Sound, it's just a better song to begin with.
