I know ! It's so much fun if you discover stuff here and there, and wish you it lasts for a long time ;) . When I came to the forum I thought I really know everything. And I nearly did, but turned out I had never heard of the song Lhuna, for example. Now I'm afraid I really have listened to everything available :(

 

Here is the best quality of A View From The Top that is available:

Too bad this is the best quality avaliable [emoji22] It could've been a great album song. From which era is it btw?

I believe it's from AROBTTH... but I'm not certain. Oddly enough A View From the Top is the name of one of Gwyneth Paltrow's movies

Thanks! I googled the song and the movie showed up too. Coincidence? Destiny? Who knows? [emoji6]

I've never heard it too!! There are so many unreleased tracks I have to hear!! [emoji38]

Discovering the very depths of a band's back catalogue is an adventure for sure!

 

Have you ever listened to Sweet Marianne? It was only played live and it is an X&Y era song that Will wrote for his wife.

That song should have been released in an album!!! I swear it on the moon and the stars above!! [emoji7] [emoji7] [emoji7] Will is a great songwriter!

For me, it seems like I have a new favorite b-side evey week!, but right now, i am hooked on 'I Ran Away.' .... especially the part when Chris sings the word "fool" and it matches perfectly with the note played on Guy's bass.

About "A View from the Top": It is from the Baltimore soundcheck on the 16th of September 2002, to be accurate :) So yeah, this is the AROBTTH Era. In fact, the complete (low quality) video of the Baltimore soundcheck is in available in the forum's multimedia section. As for the title, be aware that this is not an official song title but it was dubbed as such by a fan based on the line you can hear in the chorus, so it need not to have anything to do with the movie...

 

And kudos to anyone who loves I Ran Away too :thumbsup:

We sure do need a B-side album! I hope that one day there will be an official "Complete B-sides" album because in my opinion almost every B-side is a gem and some of them are even better than album tracks!

Two words:

 

Ghost Story

 

I love the album, but this b-side surpasses every song that made it to the LP, both lyrically and instrumentally.

Ahahah... no, not every song, there are some missing (I Bloom Blaum, Only Superstition, Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground, ecc ecc)

BTW, I just can't pick one of that list, they're all good :)

*basically* [emoji6]

And I agree with you. They are all great.

But don't you like I Bloom Blaum and NMFWTTG??

It's not that I don't like them, on the contrary I know most of them by heart, but I find them average songs, quite "forgettable" (pass me the adjective) if you compare them with the others

I understand [emoji6] Even though I'm a big fan of NMFWTTG

Also, i don't know if it's only me, but isn't this song extremely similar to Til Kingdom Come ?

I don't think so. But, then again, that's my opinion [emoji6]

Ghost story is certainly a great b side, one of their best in my opinion. Entirely better than MX or GS. [emoji23]
