Saves The Day - 9 (October 26, 2018) Album • Page 34

All my vinyls came in the mail, but I was out of town. Now I'm finally back and look how awesome they are.

 

"singing from my heart / sad love song" is a great line and reminds me of the same sort of effect as "cry / die / boo hoo" on "your pain is mine now" by title fight

 

On "9," Chris Conley Waves Banner For Saves The Day

 

I got Under The Boards on vinyl a couple days ago brand new for $8 (insert sunglasses smiley guy emoji here)

 

Fair enough. I was definitely ineloquent in addressing Chris and what's going on with him.

Well burningcoffee, thanks for the suggestion to move on. However, Chris created music on Stay What You Are and In Reverie that really sticks with me. So I look out for his new stuff when it comes out, even if it has been disproportionately wack in the last few years. And as this is a forum about music and this is a thread about Saves the Day and their new album, I feel like I have the right to weigh in.

Now as far as "the struggle" and "feeling magically cured" I think that's why a lot of Chris' promotional work has rubbed me the wrong way. When you read the story of every album from like Sound The Alarm through this new one, it's "this album has been the reason I've overcome depression, etc." and it simplifies this stuff. And as anybody who deals with mental illness knows, shit isn't that simple. It's a day to day struggle. But not the way Chris Conley has made it seem.

But regardless, I'm on Team Conley and I do hope he finds some peace. And I also hope he at some point writes some great music again.

 

I was going through my old laptop hard drive from 10+ years ago and found a recording of one of the full studio sessions from Through Being Cool. It's legitimately them playing the whole album front to back.

If anyone is interested, PM me.

 

me im interested

 

I'm gonna upload it tonight. I'll send you all PMs.

 

Drama happened tonight at a bar. Too tired to do anything right now. I'll do it in the morning. I also found a demo of "Monkey".

 

Me please! Dont know why but I don't seem to have access to PM you.

 

You still doing the PMs? Seems I can't PM you for the details.

 

Sorry about the delay, I was sick all weekend and so basically just stayed on my phone and didn't get to the computer until today. I am sending the link to the Drive folder to everyone on here who said they wanted it.

I'll also send another PM later tonight with "Lisa's Birthday Tape" in case you guys don't have it. It was a tape Chris made for a fan whose birthday he couldn't make it to or something. I don't remember the story. It's all original stuff not on any albums.

 

i’d be interested in this stuff too :)

 

Apparently I was wrong. It is indeed from the TBC sessions, but they play stuff from their acoustic EP and CSD. It's not the full album front to back. I apologize for the misinformation.

 

I don't know about you guys, but I often revisit "29"...I really like how the Con man seemed to have poured his heart out on that track while you have the rest of the band, musically and emotionally, supporting him all throughout the 22 or so minutes as he's telling his story with such a platform. Love u CC..

 

i forgot this album existed

 

Same.. probably cause it ain't good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Lol. Yes, exactly.

 

gonna just ignore those last couple posts

 

I mean 23 is bonafide highlight in a career full of many tremendous songs...and since it’s half the album, the album has to be great technically, right? Perhaps but I haven’t really gone back to the other songs nearly as much...

 

I finally got back to my computer and uploaded "Lisa's Birthday Tape" if you want it.

It's five songs (really strange ones) written from Chris just for this person's birthday he missed (if I remember correctly.)

 

That’s some real weird stuff. I downloaded it way back in the KaZaa days when I absolutely needed to hear every single deep cut, haha.
