Brand New Band • Page 77

Plenty complained about shipping with the booklets and then it got reduced. But saying that, I paid 27 dollars just, so I'd like to think if that happened I'd get refunded the difference :')

 

i made mine. looks like we're pretty close.

 

I've been a die hard BN fan ever since Deja came out and honestly if there isn't an album announcement after this then I can see myself hitting that point with the band.

Obviously they don't have to do anything we want, but if all they're gonna release after so many years is one or two songs then personally its time to stop caring so much about it.

that being said I'll still support the band and I still really like this song, but it is exhausting trying to stay excited for them to release something for so long.

 

I was actually thinking he's gone slightly back to his pre Daisy vocals on this. Not ripping Modest Mouse so hard heh.

 

Song is okay. I'll probably forget it within a few days though.

 

I dig this. Love the poppy feel to it which I didn't expect. As long as this is at the poppier end of the songs, which you expect from a single to be fair.


Also, in Birmingham last year, Jesse said there would be a new album and they have stuff recorded for it. I'm not worried.

 

His vocals remind me of the Demos a bit.

 

I'm really into this song. The sweet guitar part, the bouncy chorus - it's fun and it makes me feel good listening to it, which aren't things I normally associate with the last couple Brand New records.

 

It's certainly less than it was, but once I hear it I can't stop hearing it. Like cilantro in food

 

My first attempt at the lyrics. Plenty of stuff that needs help. Clearly about Jesus.



Tomb turned to gold, I want pure energy.
Throw everything I own into the fire.
I wanna find a way. I want to throw up snakes.
Do I have to die to see the other side?

I am a nightmare and you are a miracle.
(You're coming out of the ground, it's kinda freaking me out.)

So come shake His hand now, and give me pure energy.
My heart is glowing for rest and I want you to possess it.
I'm not a prophecy come true. I'll just be goddamn mean to you.
So what is this thing laced with? Please don't face me.
I surrender. Embrace me, whatever I'm faced with.

I am a nightmare and you are a miracle.
(You're coming out of the ground, it's kinda freaking me out.)

Blessed be the lost at sea. The rest in peace was what they [conceived in?].
Though I am messed up, no distress. I fall asleep holding Your hand.
Among a league of dunes, you are a pale vision of blue.
And I must set you, ?????? of empathy, so go save someone else.

 

Will probably post my thoughts after work today, I don't wanna commit to anything until then haha.

 

appreciate it!

 

Haha this comment on the Facebook post

"Hmm.....the cassette they released had 418 on the bottom. Today is 5/17. Maybe something will happen on 6/16, and then maybe 7/15, and then 8/14?? Think about it.

418, 517, 616, 715, 814.....the numbers are palindromic."

Gotta love social media

 

I'll listen out for it.

 

Oh my god, Birmingham was like the night of my life. It was my birthday present from my mates, who somehow managed to get tickets for that despite them never even showing up for sale to me - they sold out that quickly. I got front row and the setlist and it blew my damn mind. Can't believe I managed to see them in a venue so intimate! What a night.

 

song is definitely about his wife. (sorry if thats too obvious)

 

Seems like something that would be a Deja b-side.

 

if bands don't want information to leak then don't send the information to retailers before you know you want it up? amazon has a hundred bazillion products to care about, and once they get the info, it goes up

 

incidentally the single art is incredible. if there's an album i hope it looks something like that

 

i've listened to this song like 15 times in a row

 

Didn't realize that bandcamp had streaming limits.

 

I think it is using religious symbolism to talk about how terrible he is in comparison to his graceful wife.

Or about Jesus.

 

Nailed it.

 

I love this the more I listen to it! @Kevin360 your thoughts??
