KAndre Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Where's KF - she explained this whole song to me! But I love it anyhoo. Though for some reason I want him to sing "You play too much" instead of "hard" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckyvee Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 That "Well, well" in the early part of the song..... gets me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liney23 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ohhhh... growly part! THUD! He absolutely is going to kill on this one in concert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagney1950 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 . And that first "well, well" makes my girly parts crazy. I hear you! One of the most amazing phrases on the album and it is the same word twice! ETA for spelling. alot of problems with that tonight. I do love the end of it when he sings "last of the dying breed" before it fades out. Again a complicated song. Maybe too much going on. But it is growing on me.

ldyjocelyn Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Growl for me Clay.... The man has soul. Gah. I love that "last of a dying breed." That's a good closure to that song, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltwaterdog Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 This one's really growing on me, for it's differentness, I think. Both in musical style and vocally. We've had hints of this edge before - "I Survived You" live. I think this will be a great live song. I like the contrasts in the vocals throughout. Ducky pointed out the "Well, well" elsewhere - yep. Niiiice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 God I love the growls. You fill my head You block my view It's killing me Youre everything i don't need And then that cool guitar effect..........what is that called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamar1700 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Probably one of my least favorites...I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckyvee Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I love the way Clay sings 'answers' - what a versatile voice and style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Cotton, I'm wondering about 'last of a dying breed', too. Hmmmm. There are a lot of cool background vocals on this piece. I'm soooo hoping that Q&A sing as background singers rather than as soloists on this song in concert. Their mikes need to be dialed back, and they need to sing to supplement rather than to shine. I love the jazzy instrumentation, including the jazz organ sound! And I think that Kipper is genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 To the reviewers who say there is one lush ballad after another...FUCK YOU! I love this song...jazzy and soulful..and while his voice is always an instrument, even more so on this song. And he really lets loose in this song in a way he hasn't really done on an album before except maybe Don't save it all for Xmas day. heee.

muskifest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Won't you leeeeeeeettttt me go? Hell no! Then TELL meeeeeeee-eeeeee----eeee! I UUUUUNNNNNDerstand what you do... Gah. This song had me from the first listen and I'm its beyotch, no lie. I absolutely LOVE the way he caresses the words and notes... And Gibby, I know you notice this but the way he crafts the sounds of these words--- You fill my head (fill my head in falsetto) You block my view (block in falsetto, but my view sounding fuller) It's killin' mee (then all full force) It's a progression and he KILLLS on it! He's soooo freakin' talented and skilled with his instrument. heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claygasm Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Again at times his voice is fighting over the background. Growl MORE, Clay!!! I like this song but I haven't been able to fully get into it. But its growing on me. Did someone said the lyrics seemed awkward in parts? Cause I think they do.

Cotton Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I LOVE you block my view like - I can't see anything else because i think about you all the time kinda like Clay blocks my view! hee ETA: Can't you see his nose krinkle when he growls eveh-athang!

duckyvee Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I love the opening. That early string sounds almost like a voice. Like Clay's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltwaterdog Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I find the line "last of a dying breed" distracting. "What would I want from you?" - interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckiest1 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I wonder how he'll end this one in concert, since it fades out on the CD............ The first time I heard this one I couldn't believe he said "get outta my bed" I really haven't sat down and read the lyrics of this yet...........I am not sure I am coherent enough when listening to pay much attention to them.........it's the SOUNDs in this one that get me, the way he uses his voice, the absolute FUNK of it. GAH! My 16 yo son likes this one best of the album. Says he'd listen to Clay more if this was the style of music he always sang. He likes the guitar effects a lot. He says it has a bluesy feel.

jmh123 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 This is my current favorite on the album. It's got a fabulous bluesy feel. The guitar at the beginning is just gorgeous. This song has a great beat, the drums are again that jazz-style, spare sound that works really well with his strong vocals. "Last of a dying breed" is a lyric that bugs a bit. Love the background on those lines, "get out of my dreams/bed/head sequence." The melody is dissonant, really interesting. Is it a minor key or even a different mode altogether? Almost atonal for a line or two at various points, as in "You fill my head, you block my view, it's killing me." I feel almost compelled to create a story in my mind when I listen to this. Love the way it comes back again to the same musical lines as the intro, with drum, guitar, keyboards. Simple, light. Very jazzy ending. LOVE this song.

laljeterfan Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Did someone said the lyrics seemed awkward in parts? Cause I think they do. Yeah- I keep wanting to change some of the lines. But I love the SOUND of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansamcw Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Gah you guys are making me thnk of dying breed now... so KAndre how did KF explain that. but I also love the "story" of this song. Very adult...really if the relationship is not working...break it off. No need to prolong. I love the bridge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liney23 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think he's saying, "well now" not, "well well." Man, can he sang this song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
