What about it?

I mean what they meant to you. They took on certain meanings to me though which I think was kind of the point, sometimes. They were wordy for sure, like slow rap songs, Like stream of consciousness. <br /><br />A girlfriend had inspired some lyrics out of me (not an easy feat) and she didn’t, nor did any of her friends have any clue what the words meant, yet her friends would squeal with delight when we played the song. I always thought that was funny. <br /><br />I will never ever forget David, the day your Dad died and you decided that we should do the gig in Edwardsville anyway. We played “For Now”. It was powerful and I remember feeling so proud of you and of us and feeling very connected to each other. I felt invincible to the audience and for that performance I thought knew exactly what that song meant. When I listen to it now, I think of that night , talk about a membrane… it was thick.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787232051144526266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517402040702011209.post-7789325486529515002010-02-03T14:06:56.641-08:002010-02-03T14:06:56.641-08:00Genial fill someone in on and this enter helped me...Genial fill someone in on and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement.

I am so impressed! I have to say I want these recordings! I emailed Danny about buying the discs. I especially like the funkier stuff (If Elvis Had Lived is brilliant), Pink Noise also. Fell in a Hole is now stuck in my head. For Now is beautiful, but the transitions lost me a few times, plus the lyrics are a bit apprehensive or something.At one point I found myself wondering if Moby had been influenced by you guys! But there's a bit of Genesis, German Techno (Triumvirat?), and just good old soul in your music. I also liked the Invisibles tracks, wow, Swingin Lord Vader!! I hope Danny has some for sale. And I hope you guys still get together and play- You're a really good band.

It makes the Burl Ives part sting far less ;) <br /><br />David- great piece. I know you're right about having to pass the others scrutiny but my approach was always lasse faire (read: lazy fear) and I just put words on paper that meant something to me most times (sometimes i had no idea what they meant) and left it to the listener to decide what they actually mean, if anything. I had no idea what your and Danny's lyrics meant for the most part but sung them as best i could- correcting only grammatical errors that made it hard for me to memorize. But i trusted that what you two meant to convey had credibility and merited my best shot at performance. <br /><br />There are a few things i would do differently regarding Wax Theatricks but that comes from many years distance and sobriety. Most important than any of that- i find i really love what we did.Dominicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517402040702011209.post-91089478895808231232010-01-31T09:40:48.679-08:002010-01-31T09:40:48.679-08:00I really like Dom's voice.

I kept thinking while listening to it, that he did sound like Burl Ives, but there was another aspect to it too, kind of like Pete Townshend thrown in the mix. I found Fo Jammi's website and got to listen to some other tracks, too. Looking forward to checking the rest out. Really liked If Elvis had lived... You guys were GOOD!
