I\'d say it sounds something like that
ok, after listening to this a bazillion more times, i\'ve decided this....
i don\'t think it needs another section, but i do think that ronnie needs to emphasize the parts towards the begining of the song where he\'s actually playing part of the bluesy part\'s bassline (that\'ll help tie it in when the full section appears).
i also think that the whole band needs to *SLAM* the switch even harder. especially if its the breaking free from the spell, then i think rather than smoother, just pound that change full on balls out, as well as build the tension just before it even more (maybe tim bends a screaming note at the end of that last ascending run?).
and if that is buquebus struggling his was free of the spell, then maybe some darker, more dissonant moments in the opening section to contrast with some of the lighter ascending runs in the opening section. that\'ll also help provide more contrast to the swing blues section that does feel oh-so-good.
i doubt i\'d put so much time/thought into this if it were a regular breakfast tune, but its an episode, after all!!! and certainly, the more i listen to it, the more i like it and the more it makes sense to my ears.
dank. you can quote me on that.
@ EPISODE 3 (AWAKENING)
Damn - Damn that mojo mama x 2
She had my soul chained up and I
Could\'ve been 6 feet under
I asked Myself, Is there hope - Hope for a lost soul x 2
If I try hard enough I
Will Surpass this girl, for sure
So I ran - Ran like the wind that blows x 2
I\'m a revolution lover and she
Couldn\'t take my glow
I am free - from the evil mojo mistress x 2
Now a new life waits for me and I\'m
Going to do my best
Buquebus said he\'s going to do his best
An overdue and refreshing departure from every song that has been in heavy rotation as of late, but still a good set list.Eppy 3 might be the sickest song this band has ever produced. You can close your eyes, hang on every note, and it will take you on a magical journey loaded with emotion and twists and turns. Matt OWNED the blues breakdown too.
:that:
Glad to see The Awakening getting some much deserved love on this board as of late. This song is epic and has been from the very begining. I remember hearing (on disc) Tim debut it acoustically and it completely blew me away. I mean, just listen to the Ep 3 from the Star Wars Freakout, nasty. That was what, 2 years ago. It\'s obviosly only improved since back then. The rarity of the song gives it the bust-out-factor (much like scheme), and the song just rips. The different sections all just have so much emotion in them. Tim really did a good job conveying Buquebus\' inner struggle. Episodes 1, 2, & 3 are all top-of-the-heap, cream-of-the-crop, pick-of-the-pack. Everyone knows EP 1 & 2 are ser, glad people are coming around to Ep 3 ! (Klout I know you\'ve been down with Ep 3 from the begining, your post just sparked this rant)
does anyone know the last time ep\'s 1+2+3 were played in succession at a show?
probably the toads show where mooboo\'s was first brought back with the trio.
