But her eye would be closed, so it wouldn't be too bad... until she woke up from the poking and opened her eyes and got poked again.

Good. it's the best song on the album. WAY hasn't done very well in the US, so hopefully this one will do something for the album.

Slightly off topic, but I can't be arsed to make a new thread. It's just occurred to me that there are some songs on HIPT that might do well as singles over here, but they're not the same songs that will do well in North America so it's not gonna happen :(
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Probably not for a little while... the newsletter just seemed to be a "heads up" type of thing.

I hate waiting. They should just send that email like the day before the video comes out so it would be a big surprise. That would be cool.

Awesome choice. ALS will do so well for OLP. It's the best song on the album.

ALS reminds me of one of those songs that are played on the trailers for a romantic movie. Especially the part "I'll wait, i'll wait, 'ill wait, i'll wait..."

Driven wrote:What an awful choice. God awful. I realize that most OLP fans like this song, but it will fail miserably as a single. It's just not single material.

OLP had a chance to get a quite a bit of radio time in the U.S. if they released Will The Future Blame Us as their 2nd single. That is single material. That will get played. Angels Losing Sleep will not.

It's ridiculous what they've done with their 2 choices of singles. I'll give a pass to Where Are You, as that song still did a good job keeping OLP afloat on American airwaves, but I can not understand why they would release Angels Losing Sleep.

Will the Future Blame Us and Love and Trust should have been 2 & 3.



Tottaly agree. WTFBU would be the biggest success as a single from this album. If it depended on me it was the 1st single, followed by L&T or picture (both will do really well in my opinion) and only then, maybe, WAY or A/L/S. I think those are really bad choises for 1 & 2 singles, in spite of being 2 great songs.

I don't know what you're on. Angels is a perfectly good single choice. WAY was not, but this is.
