 Thread: MBD Question |
|
|
Often I find that I don't pay that much attention to the lyrics, and if I do, it's one line. If that line has meaning, that is enough. Trying to decypher a DA song can be like trying to make sense of the book of Revelations. Of course, some songs are more straightforward and less image driven, but I almost prefer the stuff that just sets a mood or puts me in a mood.
Albums like "Doppleganger" and "Fearful Symmetry" really do it for me. I can't quite explain it, but I don't need to explain why I like the album. It's not necessarily the lyrical content (even though "Real Girls," "Mall All over the World," "The Pool," "Neverland Ballroom," and "Instruction Thru Film" have a very literal side) but I guess I just like to feel something different, kind of take me into a different world.
MBD tends to have this retro feel that is so contemporary. I can't explain that. But the album makes me feel good. I tend to use music a lot when I write (I'm a playwright for those of you who didn't know.) I like to put on albums that evoke a mood. Often there is no simple words like "peppy" or "sad" to put to it, it's just a mood.
I don't know if I'm making any sense at all, and I've diverged a lot I know. But oh, well, just my 2 cents.

Try Terry Scott Taylor's "A Briefing for the Ascent." It's possibly his most overlooked album, but truly a gem. The whole album is seemless connected with footsteps as a man walked through an art gallery looking at pictures, each room is a new song. Truly profound.

I'd never want my money back on anything DA. I have to have it all.

Yes, Motorcycle seems to be one of those seamless albums, like Briefing for the Ascent. It all flows, one song into the other. I don't know half the names of songs and sometimes can't tell exactly whena new song starts.

There is no guarantee that Daniel Amos will continue. Not because they wouldn't want to continue, but because the album may flop. Sometimes it takes more than hard work to make an album - like money. I think the attitude however, is more like "who cares, we've come this far."

MBD flop? Hardly. Excellent album!

And I thought my little little brother was the only one who used "dood" with two "o"s. We're not by any chance related, are we?

It's supposed to be this Fall to coincide with the tour. The tour starts in September, I think.

Motorcycle rules!!!

Songs of the Heart is the story fo Bud and Irma Akendorf following their first meeting "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" till Bud's passing "My Hand to God."
One of the great things about this album is the instrumentation. They use acordion!! And it actually works, it blends in beautifully into the music.
The cover of "Can't Take my Eyes..." alone make buying the CD worth it. But the real gems are the two last tracks "When Everyone Wore Hats" and "My Hand to God." This album showed that Daniel Amos really knew how to used their instruments (and this was perfected on MBD.)
Bibleland was one of my least favorite Daniel Amos albums (with the exception of few choice songs) and SOTH was an excellent comeback.

What ever happened to "The Band that Won't Go Away"? I guess that was supposed to be the Eddies, but we can think the same of Daniel Amos.

Haven't you seen that when people post they really do have something profound to say? Shame on you, you should have waited till you really did have an idea!
