The more the label pigeonholes Eisley to fit a perceived demographic, the more they do them a disservice, IMO. This version is lovely. Thank you. |

Wait though, it's still not clear (to me at least) if this version is the re-write the label wanted or if the one on Room Noises is the re-write. _________________

i've wanted to get the bridge to this version tattooed on my inner arm for a long while now. this version is by far superior to the other. i'm utterly in love with it. i was gonna post something about it a while ago, but decided against is.

How have I never even heard of this? I am totally blown away- I have to say this version really trumps the albums' version. "If I were older, faster, somehow sensibly sure Would I be prone to not be immature?" I love that lyric. _________________ "The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails."(J.Joyce) |

This is the first time I ever heard this demo... and Brightly Wound is one of my favorite songs by them -- I'm actually thinking about getting "I shall never grow up, make believe is much too fun" tattooed on my forearm. I must admit that lyrically that the demo is superior. But at the same time, I love the RN version to death because it just makes me smile. _________________ "I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me.

I've had this version for a long while but never realized it until several months ago. 
the sound quality of that youtube one isn't very good, though. youtube really likes to ruin sound quality I've noticed... _________________ |

I like the lyrics in the old version better, but I like the arrangement much better for the Room Noises version, especially the "We were walking there/I was just wishing you were here" part. That's got to be my favorite part of any Eisley song... ever. _________________ way out of here |

Oh I've heard it before! I listened to it like 10 times in a row the first time I heard it lol. What I liked most was the old pics that were in the video. It warms a part of my heart to see old Eisley pics...but to see them with an old recording of an awesome Eisley song is wolverine. I know some of the pics aren't that pics though. |

While I like hearing other versions of my favorite Eisley song, I'm O.K. with the Room Noises version!  _________________ Mike=] |

Thank you. +1 No. +100,000 You nutshelled the whole problem very incisively. as for that version of the song- I'm not sure if I've heard it before- If so I don't remember it (I saw them pre-'05, but I wasn't really a fan at the time - OK- to be honest, I'd never heard of them before-it was totally random, so I didn't know any of their songs- I really liked the show though); BUT Wow. That's really nice. If that had been the released version, I wouldn't have hated the song! All this time, when people have been posting that Brightly Wound is their favourite Eisley song, I've totally missed the appeal. I found the RN version so annoyingly insipid that I cut it out and re-burned the CD! If this is the version they meant, though, I get it. Amazing how the same song can be so different. I especially like the vocal arrangements right at the beginning, and the slower tempo, It has that driving intensity and poignance that I love about eisley but was so missing in the album version. I still don't think its going to be my favourite Eisley song, necessarily, but the difference is amazing. I do like it much better Eisley should DEFINITELY be self-producing. Or at least get to the point (in both leverage and confidence) to stand by their instincts, which are better than those of pretty much anyone else around, from what I've heard. Even subtle differences in tempo make all the difference. I think Eisley are the only ones who are really going to be able to nail "Eisley". . I hope they get to the point that they feel like they can resurrect it live, if this is how it was supposed to sound. The old Brighly Wound AND the original Telescope Eyes Mooncutter wrote: WB felt the song had the potential to be a solid radio tune, and wanted to release it as the second single. The sad irony is, now that I hear this version, if they'd left it alone and had some faith in their artist, it very well might have been! |

I can't remember the last time I listened to the cut from RN on purpose. The ending of the demo blows me away. It's too bad. |
