Jiminy Cricket

*has album* I haven't had a proper listen yet (that's for later! :dance:), but what I can tell you is: this is the best thing Gary's been involved in since Final Straw. It's a far gentler listen than I was expecting, but that's a good thing; if what you liked most about the Reindeer Section was the intimacy of their songs, chances are you're going to enjoy this. Also. The lyrics. My word, the LYRICS! I've always seen Gary as a great lyricist, but he's outdone himself. This is 'Northwestern Skies': It's not like it was before There's a beauty in slamming doors And the lightning plays in your eyes as it plays through northwestern skies Girl, you were beautiful before, but in the cyclone I love you more There's a pause and the faintest smile, as the storm rages on for miles There's no answers in the tempest, just a (?) of questions So just let it take you over so that we can learn our lesson This has just got ridiculous, 'cause it's burned through the both of us In the crumbled-down cinema, we can hide where we always hide On the blank screen, project our lives: me as husband and you as wife As the storm outside dissipates, the screen wipes the ticker-tape (?) There's no answers in the tempest, just a (?) of questions So just let it take you over so that we can learn our lesson (x2) He had to throw a few tricky bits in there, but everything else is correct. Some of those lines are FANTASTIC. :cheesy: It's all sounding brilliant so far; will keep you updated about it.

I'm so excited about this, and even more so after reading that review!!

Album is out here on Friday. I can't wait. Absolutely love the single, and not in the same way as I did 'Take Back The City' - this is much better! :dance:

Friday. That is all. :stunned:

Settled in to the new house is how I am. :)

Ten minutes out the way, so not really. Still nervous though. I have an EXAM in HALF AN HOUR TOO. :\ @ Crests: I just am I guess. It's only really hit me now even though I've known it's going to happen for about a year. Thanks. I'll let you know how I get on. :)

Yep. Excited and nervous. Veryveryvery VERY nervous. Also the fact I have exams tomorrow, Thursday and Friday morning. Cannot concentrate for shit. :uhoh:

HELLO I R MOVING HOUSE ON FRIDAY :uhoh:

*notices thread* Oh... hel-lo. FAO xfrodobagginsx: Please, just fuck off and take your pathetic beliefs with you. Might I add that YOU DO NOT NEED RELIGION TO BE A GOOD PERSON.

:lol:

... It's the kind of mood I'm in really... (...) Hi Laura! And new person!

... Hi.

Sarcastic exclamation mark is sarcastic. ;) Hello to old friends (Laura) and new (Christine). :)

I've not been in here for a while. Surprised to see this thread is still going(!) EDIT: WOAH. Scissors much?!?!

Hello. :)

Yes. Hello. :sick:

Hi?! :) :D

Classy cat alert.

Nice sig.

It's a re-worked show I think - three hours of SP, no support.

Olive Grove, for me, is their best song that isn't The Lightning Strike (that wins by default because it's so amazingly epic). :)

Yus. But only the new record. @Violet: That's one of the more interesting interpretations of the lyrics I've seen! :laugh3:

Thank you for this generally positive review, violetsparks! :) Here are the lyrics to 'The Formula'. I'm not calling MrNick out on this, but let's see if you can put two and two together:

What the Fffffffffffffffflying V?! Hello! :cheesy:

I'd quite like it if you did. :)
