the concert taught me to feel

wait is all this amy grant discussion like 80% sincere, 20% lightly ironic? or some other dynamic? this whole thread has been confusing me.

im kind of with jaymc w/r/t to the lyrics on this--nothing quite as dense or arresting or (to me) powerful, at least based on what I hear.
but the arrangements are gorgeous and the songwriting is top notch so i am sort of hoping that the lyrics will come into greater focus as i listen more.

Not so sure about all this vibrato she's putting on her voice nowadays.
― Wax Cat, Thursday, 25 February 2010 13:13 (fourteen years ago) link
^Yeah, I noticed that, too.
Of course, right after I say that the album isn't as memorable/hooky, I wake up with "You and Me, Bess" in my head.

i'm slightly disappointed that none of the tracks are hitting me like the first 2 that the label previewed (81 & good intentions paving company)was set to go out and buy this but i'm not sure i want to invest in a 2 hr "grower"maybe i'll just download those 2 songs.......
― velko, Thursday, 25 February 2010 13:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Those 2 plus Easy have been the ones that have stuck with me so far, but I don't think I've even had a chance to listen to any of the third disc. There have definitely been a few songs like the title track that are a bit too rambling for me. The Ys songs were long but felt more focused and melodic. May just need time to get familiar with the new set though.

The only song that has stuck with me is the title track. Even the couple others I kinda like ("No Provenance") are... dull imo.
