Eskimo song ***extension*** - Page 3

borneoman · 09-18-2007, 11:59 PM

Never Go Down is played at the end of Yoke at the Boston Apr show!! All this time I thought it was a new song but now I kinda think it's an improv too... For a while I also thought it might be this lost song Fear, since 'fear' is mentioned in the first sentences...

SisterMidnight · 09-19-2007, 12:14 AM

fear?! i'm the only eskimo around who's heard that one.. (though that may have been improvised too, he was doing a long trancey jam out of a medley and he did the color/emotion/body part thing)

*runs off to listen*

okay wow. can't believe i missed that one, i must have been skipping ahead to 'is that it my friend' or something.. you know the intro to that sounded eerily like the 'fear' i heard in madison but it had a distinct melody of it's own so i don't think it's the same. this one sounds a little more developed than a straight improvisation even though he is basically singing over the chords to me, my yoke and i..

oh, ok, I understand. But you should've gone for the Scottish accent! I have a great Scottish accent

....all I do is say "aye" for every second word!

. And I won't even comment that you never considered the Canadian accent.....

I don't know much aboot it, its like a degraded American accent, no?

Mr Benn. · 09-19-2007, 09:04 PM

On a more related topic, I think the lyrics for this song are I've taken the ones written earlier and made the changes discussed and a couple more that I hear. Feel free to argue

You look for something to hold onto
You look for something to pull you out
And you look around and everybody's dead
And you hold on cause it's all in your head

And you're looking for some, someone to sing for
And you give it all, all in vain
Cause you just ****'em like a brocken bridge
Yeah, yeah, yeah....
So go on
Just lie down
Curl up in a ball
Say I'm the one that makes you fall
Run away
Like you've never belonged to yesterday
f*ck off
And take your bags and (go home?)
Leave my door, don't come here anymore
no, no, no....

What's the point in painting
What's the point of being here at all
What's the point in wasting
What's the point in crawling
I've had to know
And I'd like it to be ......something
If you'll just be real with me
If you'll just be real with me
And I'll just be real with you
And I'll just be real with you
And I'll, I'll......

I would listen though it again but I have listened to it far too many times today already and it's rather depressing.

Wow....that's low Rai, that's reeeeal low. I see someone is now on the defensive....a little worried perhaps?

And if you're refering to my smiley, I promise we don't look like that.... we look like this ....

ps....in all seriousness, hardly anyone says aboot....that's all lies and propaganda

haha....I see you ever so discreetly took out rain.....it's ok, Team Rain can handle many competitors at once

But do you happen to be from Ireland Sir Benn? Just because it seems someone familar with the accent might have more success than the rest of us

No, not at all. Its just the usual opposing presidential candidate-bashing. I can't talk about your nonexistent time in Vietnam, so what's left for me?

The only Canadian I ever met and talked with often was clearly using aboot.

Rai!! your life will never be complete if you're not graced with the presence of multiple Canadians

!!
(but really....perhaps you met someone from the Maritimes, down east. That's where most of the "colorful" pronounciations come from

)

Soooo.....Mr Benn, aka Sir Benn, made the recording a bit clearer(yaaay!). And I stiiiill hear rain

! So Rai, what exactly are you arguing? You're saying that you hear "vain", or that you hear "rain" but that's the way it's supposed to be pronounced?

Ships_Were_Sailin · 09-20-2007, 10:55 PM

ive never met a canadian.

but more to the point, i agree with whoever has strongest argument. (i have no idea whats going on, i just came here to say that)

i'm saying that I hear vain and it makes much more sense that way.

ok, ok....yes, Maria and I agree that it's probably supposed to be vain. Now it's just more of a mystery as to why we hear the r, and no one else does

. I'll admit I'm very unfamiliar with the Irish accent, but I still don't think a "v" would be rolled at all. Huh, I don't know anymore, I give up

Mr Benn. · 09-21-2007, 08:33 PM

I don't think it is rolled, it's said through gritted teeth and he sort of holds a "f" sound before, to my hears anyway.

haha, I thought I was so close to convincing you

! And you still don't hear the "r" even with those fancy headphones?

ok....but you would be the perfect person to explain this to seeing as you're from Scotland. You know how you pronounce an r? That's close to what I hear DR saying. And I guess they're not the same accent of course.... but if I were to ask my grandfather how he would pronounce "vain", he would say this.....och aye hen, it's no rrrain.....it's veeeein

Mr Benn. · 09-21-2007, 10:08 PM

No, sorry, the headphones made it sound like vain aswell.

And for the record, I am slightly offended by the "och aye hen" thing. If you're going to use scottish words, atleast use good ones like "glakit" ya wee sproggit!

borneoman · 09-21-2007, 11:06 PM

This has got to die
This has got to stop

Seriously people, you're taking this to far. This was supposed to be a constructive discussion, no need to insult and go personal and start slagging off whole countries or languages or accents

Oh ok....maybe I've just gone completely mad

. It's just a bizarre feeling to hear something so different

Aw, I looove those words!! (I just spelt them the way they sound to me

). Hmm, I don't think I've heard of that, what does "glakit" ya wee sproggit! mean?

ok, ok.....we should move on to something else

Mr Benn. · 09-22-2007, 09:34 PM

Glakit is kind of like vacant and sproggit is a term that kind of means "young person" i suppose, which was a bit of a strange word to use but my old art teacher used to use it a lot and i met him the other day so it was in honour of him or something.

Very cool, I think you should have to add Scottish phrases to every post you make

!

And Rai....just for the record, I'm not admitting defeat

... Maria and I are still on our way to taking over the world

! And do you like my new avatar.....I thought you would

I think I'll get there first. You still haven't got anything close to my educational reforms...
The logo is nice... Is it the logo of a maple syrup factory?

Oh My God, people!!!...
I just plant a seed, from a scratch and you managed to turn it into something great...
thanks again

filledanse · 10-07-2007, 10:53 PM

just a quick thought,
but given the circumstance between Damo and Lisa at the time it was sung, and the whole angry set discussed elsewhere,do any of you get the impresion that the song might be directed at Lisa?

if so, theory that it might be improvised are boolstered a wee bit.
Kinda remember reading somewhere that damo said he had written a song about Lisa pretty soon after she had left.

Just throwin it out there, but some of the lyrics combined with the situation struck me that it might be so

cuuliem · 10-07-2007, 11:50 PM

he sang that song with lisa 2 or 3 concerts before they split up

adecca · 10-08-2007, 02:52 AM

Marti, is it still on your 4shared? I can't find it... is it Eskimo + dont come here anymore??/

The 'painting' bit makes me think it's an original, not a cover... and the 'Fook off and don't come here anymore' is Damien trademark too!!!

Gonna make an mp3 so we can listen easily with headphones...

Yeah i know, but I just thought it might be an indication of how their relatioship was at that time, and was maybe a premonition of what was to come.

I'm not sure, It just struck me.

singing for someone else playing towards the whole Gary Lightbody yada...

No se.
