WE ALL GET LIGHTER - Raine Maida's Sophomore solo Album

[todddowney]

Little corrections to the lyrics in bold..(probably i'm not the right person that can tell this because i'm italian but i have some impressions :-) )

Mother can you see me? Cause I'm trying to find myself
As children we set fires but these fires they burned out
This city keeps on changing, now this house is not a home
Our lives keep rearranging leaves a chill inside my bones

Feels like the cold winds of Montreal

Brother are you out there, are you headed to the fun
You tied your wings on tightly but they always come undone

Oh and finally is just me or there isn't this part in the song? I'm talking of:
"We do it for our families and the hearts that fall asleep
We do it for each other, get it right eventually
I am you, you are me"

[Flynner]

Love the song, hope it catches on

[olpgirl5]

I've had Montreal on repeat! <3

[ivewaited]

Brother are you out there, are you headed to the sun (I hear)

The missing piece you mentioned was from the original (mistaken) posting of the full song? If so, where was what part in the song?

You're right...after another listening is sun you're right....however i heard the full song that compares on Soundcloud some days ago...and i didn't remember that piece....sorry guys for messing up the lyrics :-D

Thanks for sending me the track! Meant a lot. It's good. I'm so excited. Sounds like the CD will have a good vibe... perfect vibe for.... grocery tales...

I had to say it.

Whatever happened to buried with a gun or whatever??

[OLPManiac]

Bury Me With A Gun is only a single...is out of the album because Raine "reconfigured" We All Get Lighter some time ago :-)

[xjsb125]

Would anyone who attended the video shoot and concert care to share their experience?

[Syncopy]

Really looking forward to the album now it's a few weeks off!!

here is the full album in preview! But i'm not able to listen here in Italy...probably is limited for US and Canada...can someone that is on the other side of the world rip and share this? Thanks in advance to all!

[Flynner]

Raine is really using his full voice range again.....finally!
numbers is the highest ive ever heard him go....j/k

[faninor]

The earlier shorter sample didn't sound like that. I kept waiting for the normal vocals to start.

Same here, think this is restricted to US & Canada only

[todddowney]

Numbers? Haha.

[Tinman]

How to kill a man is so good. Anyone figure out the lyrics?

Most haunting raine vocals i've heard in years. So good. Kinda reminds me of simon and garfunkle a bit.

[Teedus]

Yeah, his vocals on the album can be stunning. He really got back to some old ground.

[Tinman]

It bodes well for #9

[Flynner]

I really hated the first live version we heard of this is gonna hurt, but the album version is awesome

[neoncrossing]

I am actually pleasantly surprised with how much I am liking the album. I honestly had low expectations and I am really liking it. It is a little shorter than I had hoped for. I can really feel the progression from Hunter's Lullaby to We All Get Lighter. I think its a great follow up to the first record.

I still think Montreal is the best track. I also really like SOS - Iove the melody of the chorus...very catchy. There are tons of great melodies on this record. A really cool vibe to it.

Here is what I came up with for lyrics to how to kill a man

How To Kill A Man

the cold air is heavy, like a beast around my neck
it's a terrible feeling, this regret
there's a knot in my belly, reminding me I've sinned
this gift keeps on giving, til the end

bury your heart with this guilt and regret
it's there surest way there is to kill a man
bury your love with this shame and contempt
it's the surest way there is to kill a man

there's a note on the levy, the flood is rushing in
it's a terrible feeling, this presents
this boat isn't steady, the hole is caving in
shame has no mercy, in the end

bury your heart with this guilt and regret
it's there surest way there is to kill a man
bury your love with this shame and contempt
it's the surest way there is to kill a man

I'm thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin',
over thinkin' I'm thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin',
over thinkin' I'm thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin',
over thinkin', I'm thinkin', over thinkin', over thinkin'
over thinkin'

bury your heart with this guilt and regret
it's there surest way there is to kill a man
bury your love with this shame and contempt
it's the surest way there is to kill a man
it's the surest way there is to kill a man

It's driving me crazy that I can't listen to this yet! Rdio.com for some reason is only giving me clips of the songs (slightly different clips than on Raine's soundcloud) and I can't listen to the full tracks...

Glad to hear some positive responses though, desperately looking forward to this!!

He should have released this and Pachamama as one. I think they were supposed to be. The album is amazing, but the last two songs are lacking. The first six are amazing. So chilling, in ways. Very depressing. Watching him on Global TV this week has been interesting. He's hosting the morning show here in Toronto.
