Can't. Stop. Listening. Stacy's songs never cease to amaze me!

Here's what I can make out of the lyrics so far:

Oxygen Mask

You're a ray, ray, ray of sun
Beaming ray
But now you're turning gray
Don't tell me what you think I've been meaning to say, okay.

Rainbows, and setting suns
They are coming to the darkness
When we were one.

Oh, I can't believe its happening to me
Oh, I can't believe its happening to you.

You're a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Gimmie one more chance.
Got me breathin' through an Oxygen Mask
Gimmie one more chance.

Oh, you remember me
????????
And all the poetry convinces me
You were stolen from ?????

But now we are crawlin'
And I'll never get the chance to say what it means.
To have you my love????
????

You're a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Gimmie one more chance.
Got me breathin' through an Oxygen Mask
Gimmie one more chance.

You're a ray, ray, ray of sun
Beaming ray
But now you're turning gray
Don't tell me what you think I've been meaning to say.


Very nice. Thanks!
I think "crawling" is "crumbling", but I can't be sure.

Excited u guys are excited about another song. From the beginning I loved this one. I guess all i was talking to Nora about was minimizing the widespread downloading of the hacked-out file. Anyway, great comments; appreciate you guys. Thanks!

p.s. hopeful that we'll get pre-sales going tomorrow. Wish we could speed up the entire process; starting to wonder if we'll have anything held back.

Absolutely wonderfully amazingly beautiful. Wow. I really don't want to listen to it too much before the album comes out but I fear that may be impossible. GREAT song! Stacy's voice is so beautiful.

This is what I hear... *Updated*



You're a ray, ray, ray
You're a sunbeam ray
But now you're turning gray
Don't tell me what you think I've been meaning to say, okay.

Rainbows, and setting suns
They all come into the darkness
When we were one.

Oh, I can't believe its happening to me
Oh, I can't believe its happening to you.

You're a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Give me one more chance.
Got me breathin' in through an Oxygen Mask
Give me one more chance.

Oh, you remember me
Doubled over on the floor, we start to read
And all the poetry convinces me
You were stolen from the waves at sea

But now we are crumblin'
And I'll never get the chance to say what it means.
To have you my love depend on me
To live all those days so joyfully

You're a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Give me one more chance.
Got me breathin' in through an Oxygen Mask
Give me one more chance.

Oh, oooh, yeah.
Why do you run?

Cause you're a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Give me one more chance.
Got me breathin' in through an Oxygen Mask
Give me one more chance.

So a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Give me one more chance.
You've got me breathin' in through an Oxygen Mask
Give me one more chance.

You're a ray, ray, ray
You're a sunbeam ray
But now you're turning gray
Don't tell me what you think I'm meaning to say.

Very nice. I like it a lot....
Thanks to OP for posting the links. Well worth listening.

....the verse melody keeps reminding me a bit of an old song and I just can't put my finger on it.... maybe it will come to me.

I hear this instead for those parts. Otherwise that looks about right.

Thanks! I thought they said "Why do you run?" but didn't know if I was hearing right. Good call on the "Doubled over" cause I knew that "Double oh" didn't make sense.

I have yet to listen to smarter or this one. I guess I am waiting for the album as a whole. but I agree with Oli (oddly enough) that it is if you have the song.

But here is what I came to say.

sometimes I wish Eisley was more famous. Because if this was Coldplay or U2 or any other band, then the full album would already be out there to
"peruse" if you will, if you know what I mean.

Sadly this is not the case.

relax I am only joking. Though I would download it. But buy it too. as I said in another thread I have the cd on preorder on amazon as we speak. and i plan on buying the vinyl too. so that means i would have boughten all three of eisleys full lengths twice (room noises vinyl and cd. Cominations regular and LE. Valley vinyl and cd).

Then why give it to a radio station that posts the unprotected mp3s?


Maybe they didn't know The Edge did that?

Anyways, as a former Radio DJ, I used to get promo copies all the time well ahead of albums releases. In some cases shelved albums go out to radio, and the label has to ask that they be returned. It's a trust thing, which is harder since things have gone digital.

I still write reviews and interviews on occasion and have gotten some pre-releases Digitally. As a professional it's your responsibility to protect that content and not allow it to be distributed. The learning curve for digital protection is above the entry level skill required to cue up a track on a minidisc or digital music player, which is all radio does anymore.

That said, I'm going to stream this, and give it a listen, as I might with my own local radiostations, who don't play Eisley Sad and enjoy. If this was 20 years ago, I might cue a tape in the deck and hit record. It wasn't legal to do that, and I didn't understand why (or have money). I have no excuse now. It's a morality call for the individuals once ignorance is overcome.

BTW, make sure you guys call in to any station in your area that MIGHT play Eisley (or email) and start requesting these songs, cause airplay does matter. Some people still listen to or stream, and movements have to start somewhere. Exposure beget sales, or songs and tickets.

Anyways, I'm hearing the song right now. So WELL Put Together! Weston is killin' it if no one else noticed Mr. Green Ahhhhhhhh... blissed out. Cool

Won't listen to it again unless I hear it on the radio or I buy it. Relishing. And yeah, that's a good radioshow.
