Where do you go to pretend-Full Video (thanks to cuuliem)

borneoman · 08-29-2007, 06:29 AM

Cuuliem just added the clip from Where do You Go to Pretend to youtube!!! Go check it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13sN3DlHsE

Thanks again!!!

Be ready because the song is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!

Ewwa · 08-29-2007, 07:25 AM

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for posting it!

Valentino · 08-29-2007, 07:50 AM

Wow, I totally love this board!! Thank you soooo much for posting that and I can't wait until someone gets their hands on a full band version of this song~! Damo never fails to surprise me and I really think the next album is gonna be full of new favorites. By the way, thank you to Cuuliem for going through the trouble of finding this performance. The thing is lately I've been kinda in a slump as far as song writing and this really lifted my spirits. Once again, thank you for providing the path to such an amazing inspiration.

Oh and one last thing, is that a Martin he's playing?? I really hope so but nothing compares to the sweet sound of the Lowden.

Mort · 08-29-2007, 03:28 PM

I love this song ... I'm afraid that he really is a genius.

Moves-My-World · 08-29-2007, 04:43 PM

Once lived a beast.. and beauty,
Painter of paints,
She was a cutie,
Canvas was hers,
Passion was found,
And the rain came down,
The rain came down.

There once lived a beast, and beauty,
A forest of trees where the fruit was so fruity
Picked one and ate to feed his doubt
So she put him out,
She put him out.

Ooo no, my love and lonely friend
How slow we gonna take this bend,
This long road with a cold and stony end,
Where do you go to pretend?

There once lived a beast.. and beauty,

That's what my ears hear

borneoman · 08-29-2007, 04:54 PM

^ Thanks for that!! The only thing I'm not sure is the 'cold and stony head'... I do hear 'cold and stony END' but not that sure... It would rhyme better with friend/bend/pretend

Moves-My-World · 08-29-2007, 05:03 PM

Actually end does sound better, there is such a thing as the head in the road, but we'll go for end

And I can't believe Damien wrote a line "where the fruit was so fruity," very amateur no?

Why was this song not performed on his lowden?

borneoman · 08-29-2007, 05:16 PM

I agree, the fruit was fruity line is a bit meeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dean C · 08-29-2007, 05:41 PM

I love the uploader long time, with face.

Lindsay · 08-29-2007, 05:58 PM

Thanks so much Cuuliem!!!! And I really appreciate that you would even put up with holding a camera while this song was being sung!!
And thanks for the lyrics Moves-My-World!!

I looooove it!! And it seems so different to me....more of a story, in third person....veery nice! And the fruity, cutie lyrics are growing on me

but I guess it does seem to fit with the type of story.

I have to say though, I think that is my favorite performance eeever!! My goodness.....it feels so hmm...not just honest, but sooo raw:....so deliberate, so slow, he's concentrating on his guitar strings so much, so emotional in some parts as if he's just trying to spit out the words.... Gosh I love it!!!

and as a side note...I love the way he pronounces "love"....more like loove instead of luv...gosh, it kills me. Every. Single. Time.

That is indeed a Martin. Although he's never actually played Dogs whenever i've seen him, i'm certain that that's the Martin he uses for Dogs, being in a different tuning and all. Having said that, i have no idea why he's using it in the situation.

Edit: My mistake, i think this song is in Open D tuning the same as Dogs, that's why. I think.

cuuliem · 08-29-2007, 08:04 PM

I think , I can ask my eskimo friends for some donation now, for each show I'm attending

... recording with a camera with a broken LCD screen for the last 2years (I'm "blind-taping"). and I bought a 4Gb memory card on ebay from hongkong that works only on the first 2Go, and the rest is corrupted. so you won't have the whole castlebar show

. sorry about that...

CSL · 08-29-2007, 08:16 PM

Thanks so much to Cuuliem for YouTubing this!!

And another thanks to Moves My World for deciphering the lyrics!!

I was so honored to be at this show.....

Listening to Damo's music is where I go to pretend... that's for sure!!

Peace!

hopefully some of these songs will be on it!

can't wait!

<3

btw, these truly are the best forums ever!

najeebah · 08-29-2007, 09:00 PM

I actually like the lines, "the fruit was so fruity" and the "cutie" bit. I think it was intentional on Damien's part (and came across as sarcastic if that makes any sense), but that's just me.

Thanks for uploading borneoman!

Nine · 08-29-2007, 09:04 PM

ah lord, thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful community.

Moves-My-World · 08-29-2007, 10:15 PM

Can you feel the lovvvvve tonight

Nine · 08-29-2007, 10:17 PM

i SO can

J.M.C · 08-30-2007, 12:02 AM

I really dont like it. Very amature lyrics writing I think, some of the lines are just too obv or like there there for the sake of rhyme. No real tune too. I think this is defo a step back from his other new songs.

I much prefere you wanna get ****ed inside out Damien to Cutie Damien.

Topspin047 · 08-30-2007, 12:04 AM

i've said it once and i'll say it again, marti, you're awesome!
thanks for the mp3!

Valentino · 08-30-2007, 12:47 AM

Thank you for the Martin guitar info Calum. I was actually thinking about upgrading my acoustic repertoire by purchasing a Martin and now I think I'm sold! I've always liked them far better than Taylors and there's definitely a sonic difference between the two. By the way, thank you for the lyrics Moves-My-World, such a wonderful job! Hey Borneo, check your messages real quick.

mariaoran · 08-30-2007, 01:47 AM

Marti you are sooo great!!!.... thanks for this.... !!

the Igloo its the besT!!

my sentiments exactly!

perhaps damien went soft in his old age

LaurenM · 08-30-2007, 04:37 AM

the lyrics leave something to be desired. there is no particular melody either, it definitely doesnt sound at all finished. the vocals are boring. i dont really care for it

srahman24 · 08-30-2007, 05:53 AM

Wow! Both the video and mp3 turned out brilliantly

Thanks to both of you!

I quite like it. Not sure if it's going to be a favorite, but I think it's one of those songs that I just have to be in the right mood for, and then I'll find it poignant.

I love how slow it is though, like it forces you to linger on his voice (especially when he says "my love").

borneoman · 08-30-2007, 05:57 AM

I think it's good that he's evolving and maturing and although he's writing about the same things as usual (i cheat on her, she dumps me), it's from a more grown-up perspective, maybe no more angry Damien from now on!!

But I think the melody is amazing, he sings it very well, not boring at all, just the opposite, sorri Lauren

And prob the lyrics are not finished since he sings the first verse twice... I really like the lyrics bit about the forest and picking up the forbidden fruit as in fooking it up and then she dumps him

jonnycrouch · 08-30-2007, 06:53 PM

Yeah, I'm planning on getting a martin dx1, for all you acoustic freekzz out there who get what I mean...

SoCal · 08-31-2007, 02:07 AM

How do you convert to Mp3's? Whenever I try to, the actual file turns out to be about 30 min. Is that normal?
