favorite vocal moment


Recommended Posts

I second viatroy.

 

I don't get the criticisms that it's cheesey (at least lyrically). I find it uplifting. Maybe I'm a sap like that. Although some of the lyrics do seem a bit juvenile/forced I suppose....

These are my favorites: :D

 

This part from "You Are My Face"

 

I have no idea how this happens

All of my maps have been overthrown

Happenstance has changed my plans

So many times my heart has been outgrown

Now everybody

I think this is by far his best vocal album. Regardless of the criticisms on the music being bland or lyrically trite (which I don't agree with), his voice is just great here.

 

 

I agree. He sounds relaxed and at ease with himself and obviously the trouble with pills, smoking and the rest have been laid aside and he sounds all the better for it.

totally agree with the "You Are My Face" verse.

 

also: "the streetlights' glow/comes and goes/the sun comes back/as we all can plainly see" from "Side With The Seeds"

 

"i'm this apple/this ha-a-a-penning stone" from "Be Patient With Me"

 

"like giaaannnt beast with many souls" from "Shake It Off"

 

any time he says the word "honestly" in "Leave Me (Like You Found Me)"

Also, I would like to add this part from "Impossible Germany."

 

But this is what love is for

To be out of place

Gorgeous and alone

Face to face

 

With no larger problems

That need to be erased

Nothing more important than to know

the entirety of on and on and on, which seems to be the most underappreciated song in the history of this message board.

 

On and On and On is considered under special circumstances for me because I only listen to Sky Blue Sky on tape (in my car...which is a lot) and I made the tape in a rush so that On and On is at the very end of one side but it's cut short so I flip the tape over and listen to the whole song on side two and then I have to fast forward through the rest of that side to start over again...maybe I 'll just bring the tape in to the house and record so that the album restarts on side two after On and On. Anyhow, even under these special circumstances I think the song is great. I'm especially fond of this bit:
