The Dangerous Summer Band • Page 29

Yeah, I jumped the gun and posted before watching the video. Excitement got the best of me

 

Goodness his voice sounds so rough here. Hoping he goes back to RFTS/WP sound.

 

It's pretty unpleasant

 

I wonder if those shirts which appeared a few months ago were shipped etc.

 

AJ's IG story last night was someone playing drums and pedals / guitars scattered about. one was definitely the same one in Matt Kennedy's current twitter avi. demos! it's happening

 

Announce it with a song bitches

 

Yea I commented on one of AJ's IG pictures about getting the itch to tour again and he liked it lol

 

So probably a coincidence. Shane Tolds podcast Lead Singer Syndrome took the week off for Easter. At the end of each episode he plays a song or two from the guest of the week, this week at the end of his happy Easter message he played The Permanent Rain.

With AJ becoming more and more outspoken about being up to something I'd really love him on as a guest.

 

AJ posted on IG again today, looks like he is writing lyrics to me...

 

just had a thought occur to me that i consider a space to grow and miscommunication to be each other's equivalent on their respective records -- in that i don't think they're their best songs overall but have the best/most crushing bridges that are some of my favorite moments in music:

"i helped make the art that hangs on your walls and plays in your heart. it stays in your arms. you're not a machine, i'm sure of that. you're every bit like me. you gave up on your dreams and now you're stuck with that. you settled for the pencil days. i'm a paintbrush in a way. i'm simple, yeah, i'm plain. i'm colored all the same. i have meaning if you find it in yourself. i'll sell myself or not, like i really give a fuck i'm just an artist on a shelf."

and

"she said, 'i'm tired of always being second best, since everything this year has been a mess. half my family's gone for good so here i sit. i need a comfort in a boy that takes my hits. do you remember when we met? we were alone. it was the middle of the night outside my home. we stayed up late just for the start of something new. i can't believe your distance left us.'"

so good.

 

Miscommunication has been my jam since war paint leaked with the pdf liner notes lol. I asked AJ to play it or symmetry he played symmetry I asked him it or of confidence he played of confidence. Granted both were already on set lists. ((These were back in 2013)).

I asked him at the second one why and he said it was just a real personal song he didn't wanna play. I get that, the therapeutic writing but not playing.

 

Parachute and Miscommunication have this bands two most crushing bridges in my opnion.


Hold my hands out like I’m starting to break.
I’m seeing now what I’m doing to the people around me,
I’m not supposed to care this much.
And I ask myself; yeah, who am I?
Well, to anything, have I lost my health?
I still harbor all my anger,
I’ve been staring at the color in my veins,
How they stay.
How I still feel I’m tired, but awake.
And somewhere out there,
There is someone thinking of what I haven’t gave them yet,
And feeling that I can’t in my disarray.

I'm 100% asking them to play this when they come to the UK and I know it's one of AJ's favourites. This song will destroy me live.

 

Totally with both of you on Miscommunication. That's actually my favorite song on War Paint, mainly for that bridge. A Space to Grow and Parachute don't do a lot for me though.

 

Parachute is awesome. I remember it being a lot of people's least favourite songs on the record when it first came out.

 

He mentioned that on twitter, but it got suggested to him a fair bit so I think he might see that it's grown on people.

 

parachute alone
I’m a life that’s not worth saving
It’s apparent I won’t slow down yet
I take control of that feeling you don’t care to believe in
I’m blind, but I’m still leading
I’m finding modern healing is sold in the dark for some of us


Love that chorus too.

 

Def one of my fave songs by them

 

Tyler! Put up some drum videos!

 

AJ posted that writing songs it still the hardest thing he knows how to do...

 

The harmony on "met we were alone" is what clinches it.

 

listening to Golden Record for the first time in a long time. "Drowning" is a better song than I remember. first two songs are still incredible.

 

Catholic Girls is a really good opener

 

Sins/Drowning/Knives is just a lot all bunched up together. they piled up the darkest stuff there and it's weird. all good songs though.

Honesty would be better with cleaner vocals. chorus doesn't quite hit

We Will Wait in the Fog is just a mess. everything clashes for me

 

I really enjoyed Golden Record than most when the album was released. My twitter name was Catholic Sins for the longest time due to Catholic Girls and Sins. To be honest, I don't think I've listened to the album in full in a few years now.

 

I gotta listen to Miles Apart more. honestly I'm really enjoying this a lot more than I remember

I get what they were going for with Anchor but I don't think it really works, it feels unfinished the way it ends and the chorus is ehhh

still, I'm 8/10 and that's way better than I thought
