 Post subject: Over the Mountains We GoPosted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 4:08 pm 
Ok, so I'm talking about the recording found on Ep2. There's some ad playing at the beginning and the end about some kind of ibuprofen. Any idea what that's a commercial for really and why it's on that song? it seems an odd addition to me is all... (is there some subliminal message i should be getting? "Eisley says go out and buy more motrin!" or is there a connection lyrically to the song?) _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |

It was on a tape that I believe was in their prized Wurlitzer. It seems to me that it's just nice and eerie. This has been discussed before, but I don't have time to do a thorough enough search ... _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

David Bowie was really excited about Ibuprofen, so he had one of his groupies record a commercial, talking about all the wonders of Ibuprofen and hid it in a box and buried it on a beach near Seattle. Bella and Edward, who are real, by the way, just like this story, were being vampires and running around and such. They used their vampire skills to detect a cassette tape in a box buried in the sand on a beach near Seattle, and they smelt the essence of Bowie. They thought it best to get rid of it as soon as possible, so they threw it into the ocean, and some kid found it a week later, about 5 miles from where it was buried. He rinsed it out and let it dry, then stuck it in the side of his grandma's wurly, and forgot about it. The grandma sold the wurly and some small church in Texas bought it right up, off ebay. The church hated it, and so they pawned it off on some sweet people in Tyler, last name Dupree. Stacy, being both a ninja and a psychic, realized it had been touched by Bowie, Bella and Edward, and decided to use it in a song about the forest, since that is where Bella and Edward live. Bowie, too. Sometimes. So that is the story of the woman talking at the beginning of "Over the Mountains we be goin'." _________________ You can't find love; you have to create it. Flickr |

There's a section on the wikipedia listing songs that use the wurlitzer. Can we stick any Eisley songs in there? Did they use the wurlitzer in their studio albums/eps? _________________ My name is actually Sarah. Facebook. Twitter. |

"...they're very popular, they're out there -- Advil, Ibuprofen... is the biggie now. If you have cramps, if you have... a pulled muscle, if your back hurts from sitting at the computer, whatever the problem... take a little bit of Ibuprofen. Not a good idea... to take it without knowing your--" hahaha, I've had that memorized for so long. I love it. |

I always just listen to the Laughing City recording of it, but yeah, I never understood what that intro was all about. sukieinthe_g wrote: There's a section on the wikipedia listing songs that use the wurlitzer.
