i think it falls by the wayside for some people and i feel like i hardly ever see it in favorite song lists. i like how spacey and weird it is, especially that bridge, and then the end picks up steam beautifully.
I can see that. It used to be on my top 10, and I don't know if it burned out on me or if the knowledge they'll never play it live again but I kinda stopped liking it as much. Still love it though
I'm a big fan of the faint lead guitar on the latter end of the song. That album has so many little catches in songs, still my favorite from them.
Me! I put it as my number 3 I think. I love how Stray Light the bridge and build up sounds. Also I love all the EMG love on everyone's list!
If we're talking random WYWTB songs, how do you guyz n galz feel about I am Fred Astaire? I remember reading an interview with Adam saying he hated it which is why it's literally "unsung" live I think. I seem to remember he said he thought they shoehorned the dual vocals in for no reason. I always liked it a lot anyway.
I like the song a lot. In all fairness I can pick the parts from each other when I listen but I think if you showed that song to a casual listener I doubt they'd realise the verses have more than one singer anyway. So I do agree with him on that front. Obviously if it was Adam and John doing it then it would work better.
I recall that interview as well. I like the song but I get what Adam is saying about the second vocal parts being unecessary on that song and others from that era, but that was their calling card back then. I think Adam and John have got a great handle on how to utilize dual vocals tastefully now
Fred Astaire is great, that chorus has a lot of desperation in it and i love what the guitars are doing in the background. its not my favorite but its a real good track. Number Five With A Bullet is my least favorite on WYWTB just because its kinda generic and just there but its catchy so w/e.
If there were a song I'd say I like the least, it's a tough call between The Union and Little Devotional. But the whole album I love so that's not a real answer and I already take it back.
Picked up Happiness Is the other day on vinyl and flicker fade skips like ten seconds, anyone else have that problem?
One thing I'll never understand is who could have possibly thought a track like Miami was better than Brooklyn to make the latter a b-side.
