Yeah, of course it does.

I mean, i'm not sure it does, but it makes perfect sense. They seem to really like that song (*wishes that it was put on clumsy* :cry:

) and since it wasn't put on the cd, they wanted to do something with the song, so they just dedicated the cover art to it.

If they liked the song that much, it would have been on the album.

That was probably just one of the ideas they had while recording. Since it fit with both the Carnival theme and with Trapeze, they chose it and had Saul do the shoot. Then (or perhaps shortly before the shoot) they cut the song. But the cover stayed because it had already been shot, and it still kind of fit.

A guy letting his slut wife fall to her death is upbeat?

Ahem, the melody I believe he is talking about. It is quite a fun little song. On the topic of fun songs with evil, twisted lyrics, that's what "Happiness..." is all about.

I know that's what she's talking about.

I have heard in an interview a long time ago that trapeze was going to be the title of the album, but they eventually ended up cutting the song. It really doesnt fit (melodically) with the rest of clumsy(or any album for that matter. It is a wicked song though!

Yeah, I ment the melody...and it sorta reminds me of Annie now that I am thinking about it.

I'm not crazy about Trapeze. I never really understood the fascination.

Baby Thief · Post by **Baby Thief** » 9/8/2003, 3:17 pm

Everyone is so crazy about trapeze because it is so different and mysterious sounding.

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 9/8/2003, 3:17 pm

if by "different and mysterious" you mean "bad and incohesive"

I like Annie...but Trapeze never really floated my boat. Maybe I just have a shitty recording.

I'm with you. I like Annie.
