Exclusive Preview Of Prospekt's March! (Courtesy of EMI, 5th November 2008) - Page 24

panicked · 06-11-2008, 07:51 AM

Well, this has been an exciting evening!

I think these previews were released in celebration of Obama-san's victory somehow

I got to listen to all the songs finally by downloading the widget, and I'm in looooove with them all, especially Rainy Day, even though from the preview it sounds like Chris is singing with false teeth! Bless his cotton socks.
The lyrics are beautiful so far... agh!
The riddles have been amusing -especially 'everything I know is wrong'. The first riddle I got was 'son, don't ask' !!!!

Can someone tell me though, where is the line, 'the captain will store this far below' from?

November 22nd is gonna be a ga-reat day! （*＾ワ＾*） ♪

Cobalt · 06-11-2008, 07:55 AM

They're excerpts from song lyrics

"The Captain will store this far below" is from Violet Hill, they seem to edit the lyrics to make them more riddle-like... there's been two I don't recognize from past songs so far such as "don't settle for anything less" and another one that I suspect may be from Talk, although it does say "talk to me about anything you want" etc

panicked · 06-11-2008, 07:56 AM

Thank you, Cobalt! I kinda feel embarassed now, with the lyric coming from such a recent song, haha.

Cobalt · 06-11-2008, 08:04 AM

Yeah, but as said, two of them I STILL don't know are from what song! It's terrible, I tell ya, terrible

XD

anniea89 · 06-11-2008, 08:44 AM

I'm saving myself.

panicked · 06-11-2008, 09:16 AM

^I probably could have too, but these days I am hoooopeless! Plus I'm getting old and impatient, ha.

My recom. for saving yourself is, make sure that when you get it, play it on your stereo first, cos the sound of this thing deserves BIGNESS! (Ok, I am officially in dorkdom)

anniea89 · 06-11-2008, 09:52 AM

Oh, for sure! I always do play cds on a stereo first.

yellowtalk · 06-11-2008, 10:01 AM

wow there's more Australians on the board now!! Welcome here new comers (if you are)...great to see more of us from Down under

Vitamin Z · 06-11-2008, 10:03 AM

Think 'I won't settle for anything less' could be Bigger Stronger?

Amazing songs! Love them all but love LITII the most, it's beautiful

Yep, last line before the chorus

Nicole! · 06-11-2008, 10:48 AM

I got Glass Of Water, Life In Technicolor II, Prospekt's March and Rainy Day

PosterBoy · 06-11-2008, 10:49 AM

Totally amazing songs ! The EP may be even better than the LP itself (if that's possible)
Glass of Water owns, great sound there, Prospekts March reminds of Parachutes which is beyond amazing, and I love the pizzicato part in Rainy Day just before the chorus.
Last but not least - LiT II may be one of their greatest songs ever, it's a shame that the better version have to be named "II" instead of just LiT.. they should have
swapped the versions

EDIT : Did you notice the piano bit over the beginning of LiT II? Cute !

This is fun!

I've worked out how to get songs more accurately now

It reminds me of Harray Potta

Yes you are so right about Prospekt's March!

Also I love that bit in Rainy Day as you mentioned, that song actually reminded me alot of sleeping sun

Timothy Q. Mouse · 06-11-2008, 12:34 PM

I've bought this anyway, so I thought I might as well indulge myself a sneaky preview.

EPIC. That's the word I'd use to describe these songs.

And Life In Technicolor II might be the best thing they have ever done, and that's only from a preview.
