No! Your posts must always be last!

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Well I couldn't post on the CM at all the whole morning, it told me I can't post so soon after my last post (from the future).

Just listened twice.
I don't like the "slam" in the first verse, but I do in the second verse. Probably because at that point the song is more full and it sounds more musical and less bare. And I love the rest of it.
I'm hoping it'll grow on me to the point where the first verse isn't annoying.

I liked the chorus right off the bat but wasn't too thrilled with the verses. Now, I'm totally loving this song! It sounds really different anything OLP would do but it has that indie feel to it...but not exactly typical indie.
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

I like the new song a whole lot better than "One Second Chance"..which I really liked as well.

...to me, this is a vast improvement. he even learned how to rap more melodically.
i think i like it more because it sounds like a real song to me...not a poem stuck to music. yes, i know that's the idea of this project, but i'm not a fan of the slam poetry style.

i can't say i love Earthless... that said, i don't really hate it either, but i could name plenty of faults (as well as pros, too, i guess). it's vibey, though, you can sort of bop your head to it, put it on repeat for a while...

i like this better than that other song just because this one doesn't have a crap load of name-dropping or explicit inept "rapping".

i find these songs all sort of in the same vein as Al Genina... sparse guitars, ethereal melody and small amounts of lyrics. in short, it's what i expected from raine's solo material.

I really like Earthless. It reminds me a lot of the song "Lullaby" by someone I forget, but it was a single in the 90's. One second Chance is different and I like it, but I gotta get use to it. I think what I most like about this, is that it is different and he's not selling out. He's trying to, in my opinion, to open up the many ways of music. I am wicked physc to get my hands on the EP.

i dont really like earthless that much
i really like one second chance much better

i really wanna know when raine decided to stop using his amazing voice and just talk over the music...i mean...i could do that....i wanna hear him sing like he can

i was hoping this project was gunna be more like al genina
Is there something good, something more?
Is there anything worth dying for?

And though the hum and sway gets me down
