So,I was surfing Youtube out of boredom and saw an old version of Brightly Wound. I. Want.It.
Part of it was

I shall never grow up,though out bodies age and wither.

Something like that. Does anyone have it?
It was beautiful.

Thanks.

Golly, Poster


this...is amazing
this makes brightly wound even more of my top favorite eisley song

it's a little confusing to hear them both through almost the whole song singing together, but it still sounds absolutely amazing.

thanks for posting this Very Happy!

That version of "Brightly Wound" kicks the Room Noises' version's butt. Better lyrics, better singing, better arrangement. It's probably my favorite of Eisley's stolen songs.

Cool, I never heard that before. I like the organ at the end.

Agreed on all counts. I wish they hadn't needed to change the lyrics.

Lyrics for those curious:
Lyrics wrote:
Its happening all the time when I open my eyes
(I am just wishing you were here so we could walk down to the brook)
I'm still taken by surprise
(And we would throw all our leaves in)
I hold sunlight that soaked up the ink-filled sky
(Seeing reflections when we look)
And it makes me want to cry

How I love you

I shall never grow up, though in time our bodies wither
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?

They all looked heart-broken
(I am just wishing you were here so we could walk down to the brook)
That's another reason we pulled ourselves out of it
(And we would throw all our leaves in)
They wore expressions that told us of troublesome things
(Seeing reflections when we look)
And I'm not sure that it's quite time for panicking

I shall never grow up, though in time our bodies wither
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?

If I were older, faster, somehow sensibly sure
Would I be prone to not be immature?

I shall never grow up, though in time our bodies wither
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?
I know that I've faltered
As ghosts of past and present mingle
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?

Cool find. The lyric here has a very different meaning (i.e., that the singer will always be young in heart even when not young in body) from the line "make believe is much too fun."

They may have been forced to change it, which might explain why they don't like the song much (I really don't know). I like both sets of lyrics, the newer ones are lighter and more fanciful I guess and these older lyrics seem more melancholy.

Yeah, I made a topic about this forever and a day ago. Jamie said it was written due to pressures to be less unicorn barbie.

WB felt the song had the potential to be a solid radio tune, and wanted to release it as the second single. Strong-arming happened, re-writes ensued, and the more the band had to change it the more they came to resent it. That's why chances of hearing it live are very slim.

But you were mean and kept it all to yourself so it didn't get any attention.

So this "old version" is actually a newer version they were forced to do with less romantic/fantasy lyrics but the older version made it to Room Noises?
