from under your sheets out into the hall
you sleepwalk through the rooms where you grew up
out through the porch and the old front doors
carried by words that you learned when you were small
down the stone steps and into the night
it's the boulevard and the hum of her hard lights
and when you open your eyes you're in central park
carried by the words that you learned when you woke up:

even though - i thought i was - all alone - i was wrong
even though - i thought i was - all alone - i am not

you can hurry home to mama and your house of doors
get the bolt in the hole and you can close all the windows
but keeping out the killers and keeping out the creeps
isn't keeping out the doubt and the disbelief
as they look for god in them ivory halls
you can see her on the porch, listening to the radio,
singing that wanderer's song:

even though - i thought i was - all alone - i was wrong
even though - i thought i was - all alone - i am not
even though - i thought i was - i was wrong - i am not

and even if - you're scared stiff - you can trust in this - you can trust in this

the outstanding accompaniment scoring really makes this song for me. A great string based climax to the piece and subsequent wind down!

BRING THEM BACK, OH UNIVERSE OF MUSIC.  I like these guys, they sound good, the lead singer is familiar and sounds like the Kings of Leon dude or the that Irish guy from Once, Glen Hasgard.

I love how any dissenting opinion is told to just go eff themselves.../s

I actually dig this tune, but am so pissed off at the absolute assholery of people like this that it killed my vibe.   Criticism is actually useful as it demands that the listener better engage with, or challenge that piece of art.  Good criticism deepens our understanding of the item presented and contributes to that art form over time.  It's not god damn elitist to examine things...it's intelligent and interesting.  Otherwise, we're all just fucking robots attached to our feeding tubes automatically clicking our like-y buttons.

i think i had read that the lyrics are an idea that formed from reading Franny and Zoey (probably spelled that wrong). i kind of like that thought.

Hi, what about the songs from Polish? To start with, I suggest an excellent artist: Kasia Kowalska in a duet with Alannah Myles. Greetings and it's great that you're here!!https://open.spotify.com/track...

I gave this a thumbs up.  In truth I might have done it before but every time I read the last sentence I laugh out loud (that's LOL for you up and comers).

Well said.  Very middle of the road, non-offensive music, just like KOL or DM Band.  Or Coldplay, for that matter.  They all need a sharper musical edge.

Interesting song with its warm, rockin verse and restrained chorus.  I think you need a better chorus lyrically to pull it off.

I can hear some of what you mean but I find this much less annoying (to me) than either of those bands - this sounds more melodic and less grating than most of the stuff from those other two acts.

When I hear this song I think it's a Collective Soul song for a few seconds.

I'm pretty sure they're doing that on purpose - it easily avoided if desired.  It doesn't bother me so much, but I could see how it could be distracting sometimes.

Posted 12 years ago by lily34    [ Reply ]
Love these guys.

As for the pronunciations: my family's from there, so a little perspective...

Many people from outside Canada put the emphasis on "New". That's OK and it doesn't sound that weird.

But most people from Canada (and almost everybody on the island) put the emphasis on "land". So if you're looking to pick one, pick that one.

Just never put the emphasis on "found".
