Innocent - next single

nelison · Post by **nelison** » 7/18/2002, 11:26 am

the most underrated song that I think would make a great single is Sorry
it's radio friendly but not "commercial" like Innocent supposedly is...
I think Innocent is a good choice, sure the chorus is lacking more than 4 words but its better then hearing "Too bad" 50 times in a row (Nickleback...)

It's funny though cause if OLP wants they could have probably 5 or 6 singles off this album easily and probably anywheres up to 7 possible songs
the only exceptions in my mind would be Bring Back the Sun, Not Enough, and Sell My Soul

I could even see BBTS as a single though....it's that damn catchy....

hey'all, this dosent really have anything to do with anything and is kinda just a random thing... but ill say it anyways!!! i just got a cell phone and one of the features that it came with was voice mail! so i was thinking to myself....hmm.. what should i record on it????? well i didnt like any of the things that i came up with, and finally, i decdied to hold my phone up to my cd player and blast an olp song into it!!... heheh so now everyone that calls me and wants to leave a message has to lsiten to olp first....muahahha..sooner or later,,, EVERYONE (and by "everyone", i mean, EVERYONE!!) WILL LOVE OLP!!!

that's a great idea!!!!!!! I was going to have my message sung to the tune of Beethoven's 5th...nobody's hoooooome! nobody's hoooome! Leave a message, leave a message, leave a message! Leave a message, leave a message, leave a message! After the beeeeeeep! :lol:

(yes, I know, I am strange, but it's ok :nod:

)

BUT, I think I might sing my message to the tune of IAH? now!!!!!! YES!!!

Hey? Is anybody Home? Has anybody wasted tears trying to ahold of me when I'm not here...

I gotta add on to this song....it's going to be fucking awesome!!!!! Everyone, you guys gotta call me when I get back to school, so you can hear my awesome olp voicemail message!!! ok???

*Sorry for the spam, now, back on topic...*

I would love for "Not Enough" to be a single, but then I'd hear it on the radio all the time, and then non-olp fans would be singing it and asking me if I know, "that one OLP song that's popular..."(people ask me that all the time about SOT) Then, the song would lose meaning to me...So, let innocent be the next single!!! :nod:

I like Innocent, but I don't think it should be the next single. I think that the chorus is too repetative. Any song that has a chorus repeated over and over gets old really fast on the radio. I heard it on the radio the other night, and it just didn't sound quite right..........I would have opted for All For You or Do You Like It.

Oh well, it wil be fine I'm sure

haha omg, that just happened to me too! I just got Voicemail for my phone so I was all into the OLP...so (as corny as this is) I played "Sorry" and then said I was soh-rey that I couldn't come to the phone, leave a message

thas pretty harsh yo.

I didn't mean for it to be harsh. :| I just meant that I love Innocent, but it doesn't have the same meaning to my life as Not Enough does. I don't know if this would actually happen, but if I heard Not Enough a billion times on the radio, the meaning might decrease. I just don't want Not Enough to get overplayed, which happens with OLP songs where I live (Detroit/Windsor area loves OLP) I guess I'm being over-protective or something...

rAiNeBoW · Post by **rAiNeBoW** » 7/19/2002, 10:08 am

i totally get you. that's what happened with life (the songs that GOT me hooked) and in repair. and SOT.... so i just don't listen to the radio :mrgreen:

superboots · Post by **superboots** » 7/19/2002, 10:32 am

yeah, I listen to the radio about 15 minutes a week. :nod:

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 7/19/2002, 11:56 am

I wish In Repair would have been released across the US. I fell in love with that song the second I heard it...and I still watch the video for it daily.

methman1 · Post by **methman1** » 7/19/2002, 1:18 pm

Yeah, seriously. In Repair sounds better every day. Of course, I never heard it on radio, which would have been nice... I didn't even know it had been a single!

megxyz128 · Post by **megxyz128** » 7/19/2002, 1:23 pm

Yeah I really love In Repair, definitely one of my favorite OLP songs of all time. Really cool video also. Yeah I haven't seen it on MTV or MTV2 or heard it on the radio at all. I don't even think it was ever on. - Megan

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 7/19/2002, 1:33 pm

I heard it on the radio because I live about 25 minutes from Windsor and all. On this one radio station by my house they still play it regularly, and it was awesome.

megxyz128 · Post by **megxyz128** » 7/19/2002, 1:37 pm

Did you hear it on 89X? Because I know that's a Detroit/Windsor station, but I didn't hear it on that one. But then again, I don't really listen to the radio all that much, so that might be why. lol. - Megan

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 7/19/2002, 1:46 pm

I heard it on 89X and 95.1 (then 94.3) all the time. When it first came out, it was pretty popular.

Yeah, they played it a lot on 103.3 in Buffalo too. It was pretty big.

rAiNeBoW · Post by **rAiNeBoW** » 7/21/2002, 4:00 pm

103.3 plays alot of olp (or used to at least ; i don't listen to the radio

)
