Glad Its Over Preview


Recommended Posts

The Heroes soundtrack comes out in a couple weeks with a still unheard SBS outtake on it. And you can hear about 15 seconds of it over at amazon.com. Its a higher tempo number, more blue eyed soul guessing from the bite sized serving of it. If anyones got all of it I'd love to hear the rest.

Wasn't Alone pretty much a Bennett song? It appeared on In the Palace at 4am as the name "Shakin' Sugar", if I'm not mistaken.

 

Jeff sang it at a dozen or solo shows from 98-00 if my memory serves me correctly. I liked the original YHF demo version much better than the engineer demo version. I listened to Bennett's version once... with Jay's voice it was a difficult listen.

I thought it sounded a bit like Hate It Here, or at least in that same vein. Sorta Steely Dan (as said before) the Band and White Album Beatles mixed, mind you it is a ridiculously short clip lol.

Based on that 15 seconds it would officially have been my 3rd favorite track were it on SBS, 4th if you include Thanks I Get, and 5th if you add in LNGCA.

til my life ends,

oh yeah

I don't feel bad,

I don't feel lone-ly

I'm just glad it's over

I know you think I'm weak, I tell you somethin'

it's better we don't speak;

I got nothing to say to you, anyway..

 

I don't mind the cheesieness of the sound, it's nice an upbeat, like Theologians as coffee with a few extra sugar packets tossed in.

Thanks for posting that! The song really showcases one of the (many) things I love about his voice, which is his unique phrasing and his "accent" which I suppose is mid-western-esque (I've always loved how he says "somethin'" and "nothin'"). Can't wait to hear the whole thing.

Maybe a lyrical response to someone not in his life anymore? Maybe an ex-bandmate?

Yeah, I was talking about "Cant Buy A Thrill/Countdown To Ecstacy/Pretzel Logic" aka "The Skunk Baxter trilogy" era. I don't really listen to any Steely Dan post-Pretzel Logic.
