 Post subject: favorite moments in CombinationsPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 10:10 pm 
what are your fave moments or parts in combinations? be it instrumentations, chorus, vocals, lyrics... (ignore my usage of fave) anyway, there are so many for me. i love the shimmering harp in "combinations". it adds such a different sound to the song. it's otherworldly. and i love the break, break down that cuts those guitars facing off in "many funerals", not to mention the dark lyrics. the chorus in "taking control", BEST SONG EVAAAAAAAAAR! lulz i just love when it changes to you, you've been making a joke of our lives. anyway, is taking control about something political or something. because it would be really great if it was indeed anti-bush or whatever. although i'd prefer it to be about a relationship with someone who's a massive moron. also love the drum intro to "i could be there for you" and the drums in "sight to behold". |

Funny you should say that: when I read through the lyrics, i read it as an anti-communist song. i don't know what my favourite moments of Combinations are. Obviously, the wail in Invasion that comes just before the second chorus. Garron's bass in Go Away is very swell, too. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

i love the end of "Many Funerals" when Sherri sings "How could you have left us here? You had friends, You had us. Goodbyeee.....break break down.." It really gives me chills. And I love all of Stacy's vocals on Come Clean. And that marxophone 
and that's all I can think of for now _________________ www.johnnycupcakes.com/shop/ |

Invasion -- the part where Stacy sings "You don't have to know the truth, if you believe it, I believe it too" Taking Control -- the part where Stacy sings "I can't be the one to finally pull you out again.. out again..." Go Away -- the part where they sing "I am holding you" together. ICBTFY -- Chauntelles part, of course. Come Clean -- when Stacy sings "listen to me, you've pulled me apart, and I know it wasn't you, cause you were not there, and why do you feel sorry?" Ten Cent Blues -- when Stacy sings "In a way, its making crazy, in the sense that its making me stronger, a likely chance, and its probably proven, in the end we will all walk away..." A Sight to Behold -- the entire song. Combinations -- when Stacy sings "All the time, darling now, oh all the time, now we'll have to make it up well make it up oh all the days... etc" If You're Wondering -- when Sherri sings "I thought that I had all that I wanted, but boy, was I wrong, as were you..." Disclaimer: I'm tired and I just wrote that really fast, so it probably has numerous errors and such. Sorry. _________________ Jamie (the female version) |

Funny you should say that: when I read through the lyrics, i read it as an anti-communist song. Ha. I don't think they're too into politics in their music at the moment ... But just a few little things that make me love the album: - The bass on the entire album. So good! - The chorus of Invasion - The time changes in Many Funerals - The last half of Taking Control - The piano at the beginning of Go Away. Simple, but that last note tickles my ears - Chauntelle's part in ICBTFY - The part in Come Clean where it's just Stacy and the mandolin (?) - The organ in Ten Cent Blues (and lyrics) - The drums in Sight To Behold - The vocal chord in said song - The chorus in Combinations - The bass in it, too - The intro to If You're Wondering (possibly my favorite Eisley intro ever) _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

jamiga wrote: Invasion -- the part where Stacy sings "You don't have to know the truth, if you believe it, I believe it too" Yep, I love that line too. Reminds me of a line in a Nine Inch Nails' song about faithfully believing in something regardless of it being truth. In Taking Control during the second verse: "When we get down, how would we know if we'll get up again, get up again". In that bolded "again", Stacy does a chord change that has me laughing each time I hear it. It sounds extremely cute. The ending of Many Funerals with the chorus riff going and the WALL OF VOCALS building up each measure piercing my mind. It's absolutely amazing. There's more but I can't really think right now. I have KRBE blaring in my ears at work, and I have no control over the music.  _________________ virb.com/dontlisten - mymusic - |

Chauntelle's part in I Could be There for You, hands down. |

Yeah, pretty much this is my review again but oh well:
Many Funerals - The time changes in the song. And the break down with the "break down"s at the end.  The over lapping vocals just builds so nicely.
Invasion - Second chorus, second time through where Stacy's "you's" are slightly louder. It was just something I noticed. Also the bridge... Taking Control - LOVE the bridge to the end. Or maybe the second chorus to the end. The piano's simple but awesome. Go Away - Echo/ back and forth part (I am holding you). Bass line in the song. ICBTFY - The hypnotic guitar parts, especially the instrumental part right after the first chorus. It's just three notes over and over, but it fades in and out, and meshes with the guitar part, it sounds very dreamy and cool. I also like the time changes. Come Clean - The rhythm in the verses. Ten Cent Blues - I'm not a "twang" person, but the lead guitar is awesome in there. Also the vocals throughout; their strength is how their vocals compliment each other, but its cool to hear them matching their styles in this song. Also, the parts where the music drops out, and the "Shaking hands on a doormat" to the end A Sight to Behold - How Stacy's vocals seem almost like a whisper during the verse and Sherri and Stacy together during the chorus/lead-in to the choruses. Combinations - Rhythm of the verses, and the end of the song when Chauntelle's counter melody and trumpet comes in. If You're Wondering - Virtually every part of the song. From the harmonies, to that echoing keyboard note between the first chorus and the second verse, to the strings. Lovely song. |

Off the top of my head... I love hearing Stacy's "honey" right before the last few of lines in Go Away. Everytime I hear it, I'm like "Yeah! Go Stacy!" Also, the first few lines Sherri sings in Combinations. I don't think I've heard her sing like that before. It's so beautiful and eerie. _________________ My name is actually Sarah. Facebook.

that vocal chord in the bridge of A Sight to Behold gives me chills every time I hear it. Eisley is a great "bridge band" and every single bridge are major highlights in most of the tracks. |
