I just heard this song for the first time, and it it just me or is it pretty catchy? I mean, besides the fact it's just a verse and a chorus, and that the lyrics are repetitive, and that Sherri sounds like Alanis Morrisette in the "oh oh oh oh" part.... notwithstanding, I think if it were reworked it could become a pretty good song. Maybe sort of a "radio throwaway" one like Telescope Eyes if they don't have anything else that would work for that on the second LP... although I'm sure they will by then........... gosh, what am I even talking about? By the way, towards the end during the "everything is normal, everything is fine" part, do I hear Chauntelle singing? Either that, or Stacy's voice has changed a lot since then. |

It sounds like that to me, just by judging how their voices sounded in their other songs at the time. I know she was at least a primary writer on it. Just because it's possibly Eisley's worst released song, which doesn't at all mean it's bad. That said, Telescope eyes, Dream for Me and some other songs from the earlier days are the worst Eisley songs floating around there. That's great stuff! I'm rambling. But yeah ... I think it might be her. heh _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

'Cause that's what it looked like to my confused eyes. _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

Hm. I didn't mean that at all. That was a shot at all the Pretender bashing that goes on. But maybe I shouldn't be typing when I'm this out of it. In summary: Pretender=pretty rockin' song. Even moreso considering Eisley's stage of development.

i have a weird mp3. the song is about 3:40, but the track length says 18:55. after the song stops, the mp3 stops too. Mine is 3:44, I'm pretty sure its the whole song _________________ ~Lisa~ 'Can I rely on you when all the songs are through' - Guy Garvey 'It's never over, shes the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.' - Jeff Buckley |
