SWOT: Thoughts and a Blooper

Postby Furious George » 5/28/2002, 7:10 pm

This is probably a thought that a lot of CMers share: After listening to Gravity, SWOT becomes a better song. It really fits in nicely to the album after a couple of listens.

Also, when I first saw the video, I did not like what I saw. It simply was not OLP. But after a while it kinda grows on you. If you want to like it, then you've got to appreciate it as what it is: a simple rock video. If you keep on leeching on and on about how its not OLP you never take anytime to like it.

And finally, there is a blooper in the video that I have noticed. At around the 3:12 mark the band is completely motionless as the girl is falling, even though they were rocking like usual before, and there is still music being played.

I noticed that but I thought it was supposed to be that way, so you focused on just the girl, like everything around her stopped as she fell.

I haven't even noticed that; guess I was focusing on the girl a bit too much :lando:
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

hey, she could have some pretty beast-like hands ya know.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Someone else pointed out how around 2:30 (somewhere around there), Raine has a close-up with his hands on the mic, then he has a wide shot of him beside the mic reaching out to the crowd, then it goes back to the same close-up shot... It's just bad editing. :mrgreen:

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
