Hey guys,
if the songs Raine did at JT are any indication of the new solo cd, we are in for a treat.
he did 2 new songs.
S.O.S - a rocking number that could of been an OLP song..yes it is that good and rocking.
Not Done Yet-He said this song was about fatherhood and how the kids make you almost young again. You see things in a different light.
he sounds very much like Thom Yorke on Fake Plastic Trees.
He told us he will try to get out all of Bury With A Gun soon.
Other stuff you might be interested in. he did a very stripped down versin of
4AM It was just him and an accoustic guitar. I got chills from it.
he also played
CLUMSY during Chantal's Set ./ A sort of encore with her.. They also did a really beautiful version of
Bring Back The Sun. Last night Chantal was telling a story of how she played that song one time her whole tour. She made a comment about playing it now to piss him off.. Tonight she told the story about playing it on that particular tour. Raine came out and sang it with her. They both took turns singing lead..
Here is what he did both nights.
S.o.S
Careful
SLH
Earthless
Not Done Yet
Yellow Brick road
Innocent-which the kids came and sang chorus with.
Snake/Crowne
4AM
Here are some of the lyrics from Not Done Yet -I am sure Tom or Bree got song so can help out with rest..
"
Cold outside
waiting for spring to break
all my wrongs and all my rights
I've made peace with my mistakes
I, I ... I'm not done yet
on the wheels of strength I have to give
love inside -alright make me want to live
I, I, I not done yet
the repeats first again
These are what I could write down while he was singing. Not complete or 100% accurate but the beginning seems to be the main choruse. He said he was still in process of writing song.. He said we will love it. It is really good and not like thelast cd. Can't wait.
and yes for all of you wanting the falsettos etc. they are back.
S.O.S has an almost backing vvocal over the lead. Sounds amazing. Both songs were really good. All I can say is between the stuff Raine wrote for Burn Burn and this new solo stuff.
