duckyvee Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Using "but" at the end instead of "and" seems like he has come to conclusion that he has been wrong. He has not experienced love. I've had that exact thought, cagney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm just glad duckyvee's sentimentality gene transplant worked, but I'm puzzled to why KAndre's didn't. Must be the bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'll never forget this song in Chautauqua with the rain pouring down. It was Canandaigua- and it was AMAZING!!!!

Ansamcw Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'll admit, I wish I could see what y'all hear in this... If Clay wasn't singing it, I wouldn't have listened to it more than once. For me, it forcibly reminds me how his voice alone will make me listen to stuff... KAndre, it really is personal taste and sentimentality. I think this resonates with people that have been in this position before, or are still struggling with the same thing. It is just a very common thing I think specially with single people of a certain age. To me the melody is just sooo haunting. I like haunting songs..like Vincent...hee. Then I love acoustic instrumentation...and this is his simplest arrangement. LOVE that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Song is perfection. It didn't grab me right away...but over time it has become one of my favorite Clay songs ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckyvee Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm just glad duckyvee's sentimentality gene transplant worked Someday I'd enjoy a discussion on this topic - the meaning, or maybe more the connotation of sentimentality. I don't like sentimental songs. Perhaps it's all semantics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 *hands CG a Bic lighter* Love the gospel feeling of this song. Definitely a sway to the music song. When the chorus comes in -- well, in a way, this is what I wanted the recorded version of IWKWLI to do. "Take it to church." This song does that, to me. I love him singing with himself in this one.... Knowing that it was featured on a Christmas album (that's correct, isn't it?), I can see him ending his Christmas concerts with this song.

cagney1950 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think that his voice is wonderful on this song. Doesn't fit the album, I don't think but I like listening to his view. And its goooood. this song has that Clay flourish on "wise." the flourish is missing on all the other songs and I think this is a good thing. I read that this song was supposed to be a a gospel album. I meant "voice" not "view." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAndre Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 KAndre fights an almost irresistible urge to go, "Bork, bork, bork!" It just sound like a total gospel Muppet song to me! It's cute but not a reliable repeater. It reminds me of an old school "Sweet Bye and Bye". Y'all are right - totally sweet southern gospel. Maybe a little bluegrass-y.

Ansamcw Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was so sad when I lost my Muppet Christmas CD cos it had this and the great JD christmas song that I always forget the title .. anyway...I loved how the turned this into a gospel song great idea. I wonder if this was an old recording left over from all those songs he did. Was this produced by Kipper? Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 This song has a gospel feel to it, with the piano chords and melody. It sounds like a hymn, almost. After the first verse, it gets jazzy in the second verse, and I like it much better. I love the things he does with his voice in the jazzy verse. Again deep voice. YUM. "I've been realizin' that...." Once the choir comes in, then it gets a teeny bit too bombastic for me. I do love that he is dueting with himself here. Good message. One of the few songs on the album with a glory note. Then back to a softer, churchy sounding ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckyvee Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Cotton, thanks for posting the lyrics. So, it's "open up both your eyes" I thought it was "open up all your eyes" And that made me laugh. This isn't a funny song, but between the opening line about it being in everyone of us making me think Sir Robin thinking God swallowed a cup, and then being told to open 'all' of our eyes, I laughed all the way through this song. Now, maybe I can appreciate it. I actually like hymns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laljeterfan Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 OOPS- was listening to my Walmart Cd and just tried to switch to my itunes for this song, and it crapped out on me. Truthfully, I listened to this one maybe two or three times when I first downloaded, and haven't listened to it since. I had a hard time getting in to it, although I really wanted to. I think it was a combination of another song where I felt the lyrics were awkward, and lack of a sustainable tune. I like the gospel-y feel of his voice, however. Trying to get itunes going so I can listen again with fresh ears..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
