The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 255

I still won't ever forget the first time I heard Piano Player. I can't believe I was able to keep my phone just long enough to give my thoughts on it before they took my phone away and sent me to a mental health rehabilitation and addiction treatment facility here in North Carolina. I'm so much better now. I'm in a much better place and I think it shows. I'm not as hostile or angry or bitter and I think my recent posts reflect that, whereas before I'd be much more prone to start a fight or play victim after antagonizing someone. This band means more to me than I give them credit for sometimes

 

Hoping so! You going to either?

 

Now a bit brighter with a smile and a laughter.
One in the same and what am I to be after,
dancing in private with the concept of never?
You in this light feels like a thing I can't remember

 

yeah! ill 100% be at the christian acoustic show

 

I would be down for a whole record in the style of goodness pt 1

 

So...an acoustic record?

 

hahahaha

 

I'd like an acoustic Christian solo record. Or studio acoustic versions of existing songs. But for a brand new Hotelier record I want (mostly) full band.

 

Yea either Christian solo or just a slower hotelier record

 

Going to the Christian solo show tonight.

 

Christian solo record would be real cool but I'd like to think we'd get another Hotelier record although I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

If we do get a new Hotelier record then idk if I really have an idea as to what I'd LIKE them to do. Theyve covered a lot of ground musically between the last three records so I dont really know where I'd want them to go next. Maybe some electronic integration? Or maybe just a full blown acoustic/country influenced record? I guess id be fine if they just doubled down on their influences like Rilo Kiley, The Weakerthans, The Dismemberment Plan, stuff like that (well i guess technically these are Christians influences but still) and just produce another stellar indie rock record. idk im just thankful we have the 3 records we do and whatever the band or Christian does next im sure will be very very wonderful.

 

I want them to cover emergency & I in full

 

Christian should cover

Left & Leaving
The Absence Of God
You Are Invited

that would be a really cool 3 song EP

 

I wouldn't be able to handle a left and leaving cover omg

 

I would love for them to explore their Weakerthans style musically. I'd love to hear a rerecorded version of "Housebroken" with new lyrics because sonically that and "Weathered" are two of my favorite songs of theirs

 

I remember this bit

 

Speaking of the Dismemberment Plan. Remember when Casey couldn't go two posts without mentioning Emergency & I?... What happened?

 

A new emperor x album came out this year I've been occupied, every other post is about that

 

To be clear I'll be happy with anything the band decides to do, I was just listening to goodness pt 1 and really enjoying the sonic nature of the song with the piano and acoustic guitars. I think it's going to be a bit before we get anything and that is okay. I'm glad the band is sort of taking some time off after going insanely hard for what 3 straight years?

 

Does anyone know where the show is on Friday? Would like to try to go

 

Christian played Dendron last night

Also can confirm Avril Lavigne sing along is the best ever

 

haha nice! Any other goodies in the setlist? I think I'm seeing him on Friday.

 

Very upset I won't be able to make any of these shows

 

From what I recall:

Piano Player
Your Deep Rest
In Framing
Weathered
Ode to the Nite Rats Club
Soft Animal
Two Deliverances
An Introduction to the Album
Dendron
Avril cover
They also gave pretty detailed anecdotes surrounding most of the songs, which made it feel that much more special. Christian said Soft Animal is his favorite song he's written.

 

oh yea that is good! that is really good. was hoping to hear goodness pt 1 ha, since I figured this is the setting he would play it but either way very excited!
