guy42 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 i still love this song Yep, I introduced Army of One to my friend the other day. He didn't say whether he liked it or not but when XMTS started he says, "Ooh, what's this?" I was pleasantly surprised :nice: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon_Mx Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's still a mystery for me how's the end like in this song. Because I can hear Jonny has a solo in it, but at the same time the sound has been lower down. And afterwards (near the end), there's something more. Not that it is super exciting but I am quite curious how they exactly do end the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A live version is in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon_Mx Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 But there's also muted guitar sound in the middle of the song. I know:) You mean that sort of pattern like ''dudududuDU du dudududuDU'', right? If you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy42 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Ok, so in my quest for the official lyrics, here's what Amazon Music tells me the lyrics are. (I have to type this out because it won't let me copy.) The significant discrepancies are in bold. (So I reach for it) Stare into darkness, staring at doom My heart go boom, bo-boom boom Stare into darkness, admit defeat Coming home and I'm finding no peace And I know and I know and I know I know I'm unlocked And I know and I know and I know I know what you've got I put my hands up to the sky, I feel alive Got a rocketship that I want to ride Put my hands up to the sky, it's all right Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure (So I reach for it) Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure (So I reach for it) Stare into darkness, staring at doom You make my heart go boom, bo-boom boom Superhero, a masterpiece Been innocent but a sinner in me And I know and I know and I know I know I'm in love And I know and I know and I know I know when I'm lost I just put my hands up to the sky, I feel alive Got a rocketship that I want to ride Put my hands up to the sky, feeling insight Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure Put my hands up to the sky, feelin' alive I got a rocket, eyes on the prize Put my hands up to the sky, I'm gonna find Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure So I reach for it Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure So I reach for it, yeah, yeah Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure (So I reach for it) And I know and I know, and I know Know what I got (so I reach for it) X marks the spot So I put my hands up to the sky, I feel alive Got a rocketship that I want to ride Put my hands up to the sky, feeling insight Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure Put my hands up to the sky, feelin' alive I got a locket, eyes on the prize Put my hands up to the sky, I'm gonna find Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure Yeah, yeah, wherever you are 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy42 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Here's the vocal version of this song: [MEDIA=googledrive]0BzFcZ9uRSUGidDd0OXhfU05CZDg[/MEDIA] Surprisingly, he sings "so I race for it" at the 1:55 mark. Here are the adjusted lyrics based on what I have learned so far (contrast this to what I had a few posts ago): (So I race for it) Staring at darkness, staring at doom My heart bo-boom, bo-boom boom Staring at darkness, and let defeat Come along when I'm finding no peace And I know and I know and I know I know I'm unlocked And I know and I know and I know I know what you got So I put my hands up into the sky, I feel alive Got a rocketship that I wanna ride Put my hands up into the sky, it's so right Wherever you are, I find that treasure (So I race for it) Wherever you are, I find that treasure (So I race for it) Stare into darkness, staring at doom You make my heart bo-boom, bo-boom boom Superhero, a masterpiece Been in a saver, the center in me And I know and I know and I know I know I'm in love And I know and I know and I know I know when I'm lost I just put my hands up into the sky, I feel alive Got a rocketship that I wanna ride Put my hands up into the sky, feeling insight Wherever you are, I find that treasure Put my hands up into the sky, feelin' alight I got a rocket, eyes on the prize Put my hands up into the sky, I'm gonna fight Wherever you are, I find that treasure So I race for it Wherever you are, I find that treasure So I race for it, yeah, yeah Wherever you are, I find that treasure (So I race for it) And I know and I know, and I know I know what I got (so I race for it) X marks the spot So I put my hands up into the sky, I feel alive Got a rocketship that I wanna ride Put my hands up into the sky, feeling insight Wherever you are, I find that treasure Put my hands up into the sky, feelin' alight I got a locket, eyes on the prize Put my hands up into the sky, I'm gonna fight Wherever you are, I find that treasure If anyone can separate the vocals out from this track, maybe we can use it to make an instrumental... Anybody out there? :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 So I race for it Wherever you are, I find that treasure So I reach for it, yeah, yeah Wherever you are, I find that treasure it sounds like he says "race" both times here, not just the first time :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Surprisingly, he sings "so I race for it" at the 1:55 mark. I have always heard it like "race", or could it be "raise" (since it is put my hands up into the sky) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 OK, I'll put it in here too: If you are putting links to the 5.1 Surround version files on the forums, please do it only in the Multimedia section. Btw, Stephen specifically asked not to share them " in public". (otherwise I could have saved myself all the DM work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, Stephen specifically asked not to share them " in public". (otherwise I could have saved myself all the DM work). It's only 1/6th of a song, and it's not like I'm sharing all of them. I think it's fine. it sounds like he says "race" both times here, not just the first time :thinking: Oh, yes, that was just my Careless Evil Twin forgetting to change it. I'll fix it right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is For Living and Til Kingdom Come both have their own lyric pages, but Chinese Sleep Chant and The Escapist aren't mentioned at all (for CSC it makes some sense because the lyrics aren't THAT intelligible anyway, and i suppose The Escapist really only has one line of lyrics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
