I use a program called Switch!! Easiest thing and free!!

mariaoran · 08-31-2007, 04:02 AM

Is it really that bad of a song?... i actually have been listening to it today and i like a lot... granted it is a very different side of Damo but not a bad one i think...
haha maybe he's just getting old!

another suggestion for riping audio is AoA audio extractor... its free!

i think it's "oh no, my love and only friend" instead of lonely there..

i love it, it's a perfect lullaby or bedtime story

i agree with marti, damien's songwriting is coming from a more mature perspective now.. you could hear it in songs on 9 like animals and sleep don't weep.. and it's more diverse emotional territory than just "you wanna get boned/stoned/f*cked" etc.. not that i don't love that aspect of his music too, but it's nice to be open to exploring different musical landscapes and letting things evolve..

as opposed to immediately trashing a new song that was played in an impromptu moment, possibly before it was finished, and captured in an audience recording.. (thanks for that cuuliem!)

I'm pretty sure it's lonely..

borneoman · 08-31-2007, 04:08 PM

The first time he sings the chorus I hear 'Lonely' but then the second and third time I her 'only'... not sure if that helps

SisterMidnight · 09-01-2007, 03:11 AM

i thought i heard only halfway through so i was watching his mouth when he sang.. could be lonely at first, but he must not be much of a friend if she's still lonely

borneoman · 09-01-2007, 03:45 AM

Just to add a bit of confusion, I checked the lil clip from Portland and I'm pretty sure he sings 'LONELY'... That version from Portland sounds more intense, at least with more drums

was just about to mention that. I think the song is fantastic - and not at all unlike damien's typical style. It's just that it's hard to see that without the full band. When I see this version, it makes me go - mmmmmm!

Fool · 09-02-2007, 02:15 PM

I reckon it's "low and lonely friend"......

Fool · 09-10-2007, 03:01 PM

Sorry to bump this, but can some agree or disagree with my above post, it's annoying me!

sorry, I must've missed your post

I'm not very good at this sort of thing.....but I've been listening to it a couple times right now, I think you could be very right. Plus, I think "low" and "lonely" probably make more sense together. I was thinking maybe with his accent that's how he was pronouncing "love".......aww, hehe I thought it was so romantic and sexy

borneoman · 09-10-2007, 05:43 PM

Not sure, I hear 'Love' not 'Low'... Would 'Low friend' make sense???

Lindsay · 09-10-2007, 06:28 PM

Hmmm...I'm thinking that maybe it means a sad/down/melancholy friend....he thinks she's sad and lonely, and is wondering where she goes to "pretend" that she is happy she broke up with him/kicked him out ??

borneoman · 09-10-2007, 11:11 PM

On seconds thoughts, it might be 'low' since it would rhyme better... Damien rhymes everything most of the time, so 'low' would rhyme with 'slow' from the next line: ... my low and lonely friend/how slow we're gonna take this bend.

But if it's 'low', I think he should change it to my love!!!! I think My love and Lonely friend is faaaaaaaaaaaaar more poetic

Lindsay · 09-10-2007, 11:57 PM

ahaha.....obviously my brilliant contextual analysis didn't convince you

!
And if you listen to Sleep Don't Weep, he doesn't seem to pronounce "love" the same way.

But I agree....I hope it ends up being "love"

!

hyacinth · 09-11-2007, 12:57 AM

Could someone pm me the mp3 to this song? or tell me the title its listed under in the 4shared folder? I can't find it.

borneoman · 09-11-2007, 02:22 AM

^Oops sorry, I renamed the mp3, to the supposed official title of the song as revelaed yesterday: Beast and Beauty

mariaoran · 09-11-2007, 02:20 PM

Gosh the more i hear this song the more i like it!!

Yep, reminds me of the lyrics for Childish where he goes: Well I'm so childish, a little bit wildish, with my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so deep.

I think he's really a lot more lighthearted than most of his songs let on..

Airofdecember · 09-11-2007, 04:09 PM

I agree with LaurenM. It sound incomplete. Like you're sitting around a campfire and someone's like, play that pretend song, and he's like, but i'm not even done with it, or sure if I like it, and you're like please, and he's like OK. Maybe I'm crazy, but it doesn't seem to gel. There are things about it I like, however. I'm willing to bet this will eventually evolve into something that I really like. I think we're looking at an embreyo of a song here.

anyhow, it's 'low and lonely' to my ears.

*prepares to hide from tomatoes*

Ships_Were_Sailin · 09-11-2007, 04:33 PM

its ok everyones entitled to their opinion

plus we don't throw tomatoes, shards of glass are the Eskimo projectile of choice

yeah, thats exactlyhow i feel about it. If you check out the minute and a half from portland it would appear as though the song has evolved in just 2 live plays! So no doubt it'd evolve more in the studio, should it be considered for the next album! I wouldnt mind betting that damo's changed some of the lyrics from the first live performance of it too - it is indeed a work in progress and low and lonely sounds goot to my ears

haha....don't worry about tomatoes (or shards of glass

) ......unless you start arguing that he should keep the lyrics as "low and lonely" in the final cut

!

Moves-My-World....Spamlet mentioned in another thread that Damien said that was the name of the song http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=14900
