Nova-Caine Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I find it quite eerie, it really does set the mood, it gives a sense of desperation, of pleading, it wants to know everything is alright but knows itself that the world is far from alright.
Anja Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I find it quite eerie, it really does set the mood, it gives a sense of desperation, of pleading, it wants to know everything is alright but knows itself that the world is far from alright.That´s a great way to put it! Couldn´t never have said it any better
The Disappearing Boy Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 its ok. 'tell us a story thats by candelight, we're waging a war and losing the fight', were the first lyrics i heard of the album, so it was pretty cool to hear them for real.
mary_x3 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 i love this song/intro. billie joe's voice sounds beautiful, i get chills every time i hear it
HelenGD Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I hate how people disregard intros as unimportant because they aren't "full songs". Yes, they are very short, but introductions are just as important as any other song, if done right, and this one definitely was. I get chills ever time I listen to it; the lyrics are so powerful.And it's not even a short song! Also reminds me a bit of Homecoming
greendaytone Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I love the intro and never skip it. The shortened altered version for American Eulogy is great too.
Inci0078 Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I think it is a good intro, but.... everytime i'm listening to the whole album I always skip this one and start with 21st CB. Now I think this is some kind of sin O_o
Hermione Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Every time I listen to the album as soon as this comes on it just sets the atmosphere perfectly. I always slow down and stop and listen to it, I can't fail to give it my full attention as takes me right there into the story while I anticipate all the wonderful things I'm about to hear. It's magical.I love the reprise of it in American Eulogy too, it really ties things together.
CarmenPunkGirl Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 it creates the atmosphere for the rest of the album short and good
toaster_poodle Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?
Boston Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?*raises hand*
The Grateful Green Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 hahahaha i thought it was a girl when i first heard it. but its all treble and no bass
Mar Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Normally, I absolutely hate intro songs like this, but with this CD, I think it's perfect. It sets up the album in a great way, and I think it puts me in the frame of mind of Billie as well as Christian and Gloria's struggles. I never skip over it.
The Disappearing Boy Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Interesting addition to the album. I like.
Gigawiz Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 This has to be one of the best intros I've ever heard.First the radio tunning entry. ooooooo shiny! Then there's the voice...a sustenido here and there...and the voice tone set on epic mode, to fit the lyrics. So...the lyrics... It's the freakin song of the century... Leading us into the promised laaand... of musical extasy .All and all, I'll say that this music 'cuz something as deep as this intro has to have the tag of "song".It's more then the sum of all it's part's.It's Cool...
BJ_broken dreams Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 yeah it is great but it is short either way i like itits make me feel like everything in miss and there is a little part is so quit and love in there make you feel like it is the love above of everything and that is because it is so strong in this miss and it is standing there in the miss like a stone
-Billiejoezee- Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 at first it creeped me out but then i got the feeling of something exciting comming up.
JohnnyNapalm Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 i have to admit this is a song i skip, not because its a bad song, just because its short and id have to go back and choose a new song on my ipod not long after ive put it on...
21st Century Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 great intro... im always using it as the first song when im listening to 21st CB on shuffle...just a perfect start into the album
L0205H Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 great intro... im always using it as the first song when im listening to 21st CB on shuffle...just a perfect start into the albumI feel the same way about it! Haha, I love singing along to it, too.
punkrockerlori Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?I jumped up and screaming and cried a little because I was soo excited
