Butch Walker – Butch Walker as... Glenn (August 26, 2022) Album • Page 11

@Craig Manning are there any particular Butch songs where you feel the lyrics far outshine the music?

 

Most of Peachtree Battle, tbh. I don't think he quite got that one right, production wise. It sounds a tad rushed to my ear, which makes sense, since he was trying to get it done prior to his dad's passing. I was at the show where he debuted the title track, and I thought it was amazing and such a beautiful lyric. I still love that song, but it feels a little under-realized on record.

 

Thanks! I’m in a Music League and last week our round was Music>Lyrics, and someone almost won with “Out in the Open.”

This week is Lyrics>Music so I’m considering schooling them on what a good Butch Walker song sounds like!

 

I've always thought that the lyrics on 'Passed Your Place..' are let down by the music. When a live version of the song first came out prior to the release of Sycamore Meadows, I thought it was incredible. I've never felt the same with the studio version.

 

Yeah, I agree on this one too. It just never really goes anywhere musically, but there are some devastating lyrics in there.

 

Going Back/Going Home? Not that the music lets down the lyrics there, but I do love the lyrics on that one.

 

Spoiler alert

 

That weird ticking metronome sound always feels very out of place

 

I considered doing the same

 

You should do it! I thought of something else haha

 

I might, I'm still struggling to pick something. But I'm considering just putting something ridiculous since I lost all my points last round.

 

You def got robbed!

 

Agree - it always puts me off. It sounds like a grandfather clock.

 

He posted this on Facebook about Letters.

Man, I really hope he manages to get a 20-year vinyl pressing of this one together. I will of course accept some live shows, too.

 

Instagram embeds don't seem to be working, but I'm assuming this is what Steve was sharing.

 

Bummed it's only Nashville and LA. Don't think I can swing either of those, sadly.

 

If he ever does one for LOSC I will be the first person in line.

 

Still have my fingers crossed for a vinyl pressing

 

Aerosmith cover. Good writeup about it in his Instagram, which never embeds on this site

 

Great cover. Butch's vocal on this is unbelievable.

 

I wrote about Letters for the 20th anniversary this weekend. Simply one of my favorite albums in the world.

This song is really cool
