I'll agree with that in full... I'm a huge Jimmy Gnecco (Ours) fan, and Raine cutting back on his falsetto usage as much as he has is like if Jimmy stopped using his... It changed/would change the impact of the songs entirely. Something had to be stepped up with OLP. And with this album I feel like it really will be,based on the clips.

Heavy Alibi · Post by **Heavy Alibi** » 6/20/2009, 11:35 pm

Yes it will definitely be a step up from at least Gravity and HIPT. "Paper Moon" proves that already.

You weren't a member when this news was put out, but in a Duncan interview recently he said that Raine goes into "classic falsetto" around 3 times in the record, and he said Paper Moon was a prime example (this was before the full song was released).

So I'm not expecting much of classic Raine yelps in the album, but some great moments definitely. The chorus in Paper Moon really made me smile

Also it seems that the cryptic lyrics Raine used in the past are back for at least "Paper Moon" and "Monkey Brains", which is sweet. :mrgreen:

Yeah i have been lurking here since chapter 1 actually, just not had an extended period of time to download/listen to the interviews. I've heard Paper Moon and it amazes me

Does anyone else get the feeling that Refuge could be an instrumental?

I don't think it is, but of the two 30 or so second clips of the song, all there is is some background vocals. Plus I just don't get any feel for vocals to the song.

Kinda comparable to Life In technicolor by Coldplay. Starts of slow and builds up to a big bridge and then quietly ends.

EDIT: Actually now that I think about it, it could be an instrumental, though a short one. The audio clip flows pretty well into the video clip. Just add a little more buildup.

I also can't envision any lyrics going to the tambourine clip. That would be weird if it was instrumental only. I don't think it is though, simply because Raine said it was his stand-out track, and I can't see him saying that if there is no singing.

Hmm... never read that quote. Interesting.

He's more than just a composer now, he's a producer as well, so maybe an instrumental piece would be a big accomplishment for him.

I actually hope it's an instrumental.

Yeah, I think the clip cuts off right before we're gonna hear some lyrics, actually.

Anyway, I know we only have 30 second clips, but what are everyones favorites so far? (excluding Paper Moon, AYD and MB)

For me:

1. Dreamland
2. White Flags
3. Never Get Over You (surpisingly)
4. The End Is Where We Begin
5. Escape Artist
6. Refuge (though the clip isn't indicative)
7. Signs of Life

Awwww, yous guys!!! :love:

I am and was fine.

The boyfriend was visiting from Illinois, so I wasn't on the boards for about a week and a half while he was here... then he left and I saw how many posts there were and got intimidated. :lol:

I'm finally catching up, though! Or trying to, anyway.

Anyway, I dig what we've heard so far! Can't wait to hear this whole thing. Should be good stuff! :duncan:

I'm super super SUPER happy with what we have of "Dreamland" so far. I really can't wait to hear the whole song.

Hey!

I forgot how close we are, geographically, actually... Haha I was amazed another OLP fan lived so close, and a HUGE fan at that. Like, on the level I consider myself a fan. :evil:

I think I might even have you added on Myspace still, even though I barely use it anymore.

Hey guys - this isn't really "Ourladypeace.net relaunch" news but since this board is active now I'll post here:

I'm planning on putting some Youtube videos of myself singing some OLP songs! :lol:

LOL before you laugh, I'm actually not that bad, even a few friends have complimented me, and I can reach mostly all of the falsetto high notes in some old songs.

I'll post the links when I get the videos up, hehe should be interesting

Post by **saman** » 6/21/2009, 12:55 pm

cool! post them up in the undress your soul section and we can all have a listen!

Heavy Alibi · Post by **Heavy Alibi** » 6/21/2009, 1:47 pm

Yeah so I'm gonna officially guess that the lyric "Burn Burn" appears in "Never Get Over You", because of the lyric at the end of the 30 second clip: "she turns, turns"... guess what that rhymes with ppl!

Shanae · Post by **Shanae** » 6/21/2009, 2:59 pm

I have been busy the past few days, so it took me quite a while to catch up with this thread.

All of this talk about clips being released, and when I check the dot net, all I have is a 30 sec of Dreamland and a studio video of tambourine jangling. Where'd you guys find the other clips? Link plz?

Codes · Post by **Codes** » 6/21/2009, 3:03 pm

its at the bottom of the page lol

Flynner · Post by **Flynner** » 6/21/2009, 4:06 pm

i don't understand how they're making the updates as "dreamland revealed", when you can listen to the same clip plus all the other songs in the bottom music player

Shanae · Post by **Shanae** » 6/21/2009, 4:11 pm

UGH! Can't believe I didn't see that.

Monkey Brains - Awesome.
The End Is Where We Begin - Not too bad. It's got a nice pulse to it, and you can tell the song is just waiting to explode.
Escape Artist - Bouncy and organic feeling, although when Raine's voice comes in I think of super-cheesy love songs.
Refuge - I can definitely see where the comparisons to U2 come in. I'd like to hear the vocals before making any half-assed judgement.
Never Get Over You - Not too bad.
White Flags - I was impressed by it, for sure, but I think Raine's voice sounds a bit too polished. It's very smooth. Almost unnaturally smooth. It has an energy that reminds me of Potato Girl -- happy thing.

Signs of Life - I smell the HiPT in this one, although it makes me think of the tracks I actually enjoyed from that album.
Paper Moon - I know this song from before, obviously. I dig it.

It seems mellow, but in a warm-happiness-peaceful kind of way.

Furious George · Post by **Furious George** » 6/21/2009, 6:14 pm

Make WHITE FLAGS a single!!

RileyLewis · Post by **RileyLewis** » 6/21/2009, 8:33 pm

I agree. White Flags is a killer rock song.

All You Did
White Flags

There you go. 4 singles.
