[00:01:03] Speaker B: Foreign.
[00:01:15] Speaker C: Welcome back to another episode of Rock Roulette Podcast. That's right, the crazy ass podcast that took over 1, 800 albums, stuck them in a list, stuck them in a wheel. Every other week we spin the wheel. She picks a record for us and we go through her track by track. We talk about the music, the lyrics, the production, the melody and the arrangement give it scores. Just a bunch of friends who love music want to do a podcast, and everyone who takes this trip with us of Discovery and Rediscovery. We really appreciate it. Like we always say, reach out to us, tell us what you like you don't like. Tonight we are a threesome again. We got Frank.
[00:01:45] Speaker B: My name is Frank.
And I'm sexy.
[00:02:00] Speaker D: Hello everybody.
[00:02:02] Speaker C: We got Mark. Oh, hi Mark.
[00:02:04] Speaker E: What's up guys?
[00:02:04] Speaker C: And I'm sad. Ciao buena, sir. Last week we got something kind of different. Soup by Blind Melon, second album. Mark was excited. I'm very excited because I consider myself a fan. I hadn't listened to the album in a while, but I do remember liking it. Love the first one. And I gotta say, man, I'm digging the first side. Mark, I know it's not hitting you.
[00:02:23] Speaker E: I thought I'd like it more than I did. I'm going in with an open mind on the second side to see if there's anything that I really like, parts of it that I like. I just don't like any song all the way through.
But there are parts and things that I do like music. I like his lyrics. I think for me the biggest part, his melody is a little weird and sometimes the arrangements are a little weird and I don't feel like there's anything I would go back to listen to. So I think that's where I'm having an issue.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: I got you Frank. You're digging it.
[00:02:49] Speaker D: Yeah, I am. I really am. I didn't think I would like it as much as I have been Enjoying listening. I hear a lot of different sounds and bands in their music. Really liking it.
[00:02:57] Speaker C: Yeah, we'll see what comes on the second side. I overall was a pretty big fan of that first side. But before we get back to that, as always, we have the Baby Wheel and the New Bets In a world
[00:03:10] Speaker B: where new music is not easy to find.
Welcome to New Bets.
[00:03:27] Speaker E: Alrighty, here is the new Bets wheel.
[00:03:42] Speaker C: Breaking Benjamin Awaken I know some stuff by them.
[00:03:45] Speaker E: I'm sure I know a couple of things, but I don't remember what I know from them.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: I mean, I don't really know a lot about them. I know of them and I know a couple of songs even though I saw them live.
[00:03:55] Speaker E: All right, let's try this. Yeah, this is Breaking Benjamin. Awakened.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: So far away I'm dead awaken and I'm faded Out of breath Life falls to gray Hope of the hopeless and I pray without prayer Cut my cover down in the hollow between you Find the venom in me Rip my world apart in the sorrow beneath you Fight the devil in me Stay forever and lie I awaken I arise I still hear the cold light Taken by the giant.
Life falls to gray Hope of hopeless now only gods remain Tear my head apart A broken life has left me pouring above Stay forever Moonlight I awaken Ar I still hear cold night I'm taken by the time Stay forever and light I am awakened I survive and I still hear the call of life Time taking by the time.
Stay forever in the light I awaken by your eyes I still hear the cold light I'm taken by the ch.
Stay forever in the light I am awakened I survive and I still hear the call of light.
[00:07:34] Speaker C: I like the heavy parts. The other stuff, which I sometimes refer to as kind of boy band metal. Not so much. It's not terrible. I was gonna ask you, Mark, what do you think of the guitar solo, specifically, before you tell me that, how much you dislike the song?
[00:07:47] Speaker E: I don't really dislike the song. It's very stock for that time. That's. It does sound like an early 2000s song. It's fine. It's not horrible. I've heard way worse than that. Yeah, I mean, the guitar solo is okay. It's fine.
[00:08:00] Speaker C: Kind of 80s sounding.
[00:08:01] Speaker E: No, I don't really hate the band. I didn't hate the softer parts. I almost thought those were the better parts of the song.
[00:08:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I like the heavier parts. I would love to hear this song with 90s production or early 2000s production. Even though I wasn't crazy about all the Production on the new metal. Some of it was a little tinny for me. Kind of running this through that stock drum sound.
[00:08:20] Speaker E: I'm not a big fan of that low guitar tuning thing. I was never a big fan of that. It just sounds like rubber bands when I hear it. But that's part of the sound, the low tuned guitar. And that's almost all the heavy stuff now is like that, which I'm not a big fan of.
[00:08:35] Speaker C: Frank, what'd you think?
[00:08:36] Speaker D: Had you not told me this was New Bets, I would have thought it was something from the 90s for early 2000s for sure. Like Mark said, it sounds very kind of for its time. I guess it's great that the band is able to keep its original sound all these years later. For a new song, I was expecting something a little bit different than something so stock.
[00:08:52] Speaker E: Well, let us know if you like this or you don't like it. Hit us up on social media and let's rubber stamp this in a world
[00:09:00] Speaker B: where new music is not easy to find.
Welcome to New Bets.
[00:09:17] Speaker E: All right, the next song is Car Seat God's Presence.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Why mama God I was your soldier My brother sits by me Buckled into the car seats.
Feel the dust it's time for pulling over into the truck stop on my daddy's shoulder out back where they plant all the trees 10ft away my daddy buries me.
[00:11:08] Speaker C: Talk about porn over pyros, man. This is like straight off to debut. This is a very heavy subject, which I'm sure you'll get into.
[00:11:18] Speaker B: Mark.
[00:11:18] Speaker C: It's okay. This is just a shot at them doing something different. This is very different for them.
[00:11:23] Speaker E: He likes to put really heavy subjects into very light sounding music.
So this is about Susan Smith who had her car with the kids roll into the lake or whatever it was.
Yeah, it's very dark, but it's so light and airy. It's like the. It's like the other one with the serial killer. Yeah, it's very weird. Strangely enough, I don't hate this. I think it's very well put together.
[00:11:47] Speaker C: I don't hate it.
Different. This is very different.
[00:11:50] Speaker E: Maybe that's why I like it.
[00:11:52] Speaker C: There you go.
[00:11:52] Speaker E: Because it's not like the other stuff. Yeah, seriously, I think it's very well put together. I wish they could do that on some of their other stuff and make me like it a little bit more.
[00:12:00] Speaker D: I.
I don't know why this reminds me a little bit. Brian Jonestown Massacre does this.
It does all those different sounds going on and it's. I Don't know. It's good.
Some Middle Eastern sounds going on in there and just a mash of a different sounds. Great.
[00:12:21] Speaker E: The second part of this is going to be a poem written by Shannon Hoon's great great grandmother Blanche Bridge. It was written 111 years before the release of this song in 1894. There's a second part to this, but let me read lyrics. Is there pretty creepy. Verse 1. Tongue tied, nerves as big as boulders why mom, I thought it was your soldier. My brother sits by me buckled into the car seat. Verse 2. Feel the thirst it's time for pulling over into the truck stop on my daddy's shoulder out back where they plant all the trees 10ft away my daddy buries me. It's creepy, sad. He just picks weird subjects to write stuff about.
[00:12:59] Speaker C: Well, I mean, yeah, I guess if it's not about drugs or whatever. It's dark topics. I mean, it's all dark.
[00:13:06] Speaker E: This was a contemporary topic. Makes a lot of sense, but still it's crazy. All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:13:23] Speaker B: Thorns around the stream While I go to the father's sea Then he will leave me not alone.
If I take the wings of morning Far within the silency Even there is hennel lead me I never my God will be now the glory night be around me Though I can't let see my way yet the Lord will see and guide me because unto him the night is gay.
If my thoughts are good or evil send me take to hide them Night above all se he with every thought and every moment he holds him in all my ways. Look at that.
And his Lord and folds me he'll leave me not alone.
[00:14:08] Speaker C: I actually really like that part. Would kind of remind me of like something you'd hear in a movie or almost the intro to some crazy ass new TV show.
[00:14:17] Speaker E: Thought that part was pretty good. I don't hate the song. I think it's very focused for them. That makes sense.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: Sure.
[00:14:22] Speaker E: Two, right?
[00:14:23] Speaker C: How long is that?
[00:14:23] Speaker E: 245.
[00:14:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say it sound really short.
[00:14:26] Speaker E: Most of the songs are short here. There's one song over four, but very little over four. Well, let me read these words because there's a lot of words. This is the poem. If my path be smooth or rugged if with thorns or roses strewn Where I go the father seeth and he will leave me not alone. If I take the wings of morning far within the giant sea Even there his hand will leave me Even there my God will be through the gloom of Night be round me. Though I cannot see my way yet the Lord will see and guide me. Because unto him the night is day. If my thoughts are good or evil, Set me think to hide them not. There is one above all seeing and he beholdeth every thought and evermore my eyes behold me and all my ways to him are known. And his loving arms enfold me he will leave me not alone. I think it's cool that he was able to take his great grandmother's poem and stick it in a song.
[00:15:12] Speaker C: Yeah, sure. Good lyrics, too.
[00:15:14] Speaker E: Yeah.
Frank, go first.
[00:15:17] Speaker C: Oh, put him on the spot.
[00:15:18] Speaker D: I know, because I'm still trying to figure out what I heard here.
Here's the dilemma. The second part of the song wasn't written by them. So can we read them on lyrics here?
[00:15:27] Speaker C: Well, it was written by a relative.
[00:15:29] Speaker D: It still wasn't written by them.
[00:15:31] Speaker C: Well, listen, she could have always written over the gums. Here it comes. Yay, God, she could have written a poem like that.
[00:15:41] Speaker D: Let me start with the music part. The music part I'm gonna get. It was so funky and so crazy. I give that an 8. It was so good. You're able to hear all the different instruments going on there, and they all blended in really well. Giving that eight production for the song, I'm gonna give that a seven. The arrangement, I give a seven.
[00:15:56] Speaker C: It's just.
[00:15:57] Speaker D: I don't know what to do with the chorus and the lyrics. I guess I'll give those sixes, you know. And again, I just. I'll just give them six on the part that they wrote.
[00:16:04] Speaker C: I think I'm gonna go sixes across. I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's great. I could like it more, though, on further listening. I didn't completely dislike it, but I didn't like it as much. Some of the stuff I heard on the first side, so I'm gonna play a conservative mark.
[00:16:18] Speaker E: A six on lyrics, six on melody, and then seven on everything else.
[00:16:21] Speaker C: Nice. Is that your highest score?
[00:16:24] Speaker E: I don't know. The music was very Middle Eastern. I think it was very well put together. It was very focused. I feel a lot of his stuff is very unfocused. Here's something that's focused. I would say no Rain is focused, and I think this is focused. It's not as good as no Rain, obviously, but as far as a song goes, this is one of his more focused things on here, where the definite parts. He knew exactly where he was going to put things in and wasn't really stepping out into weird places. It's weird just because it's them. And his lyrics for the Susan Smith part are creepy. But as far as a song song goes, it was really well put together. I don't know if this is going to continue.
We shall see. The next song is Wilt.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: You.
You see it's bringing me to my knees as we all know.
Why are.
[00:17:53] Speaker C: I like the main riff in the verse. Not too crazy about the chorus although that is a little Beatlesque. Production's great though.
[00:18:01] Speaker E: I do like the song so far. They're two for two for me.
[00:18:04] Speaker C: Nice.
[00:18:04] Speaker E: I like the guitar part. I like this Has a little psychedelic thing going on and it's funky and he's not doing too many weird things with his melodies.
I think it's better than anything on the first side.
[00:18:16] Speaker B: Good.
[00:18:17] Speaker C: I'm glad they're grabbing you on the side side.
[00:18:18] Speaker D: I need a few more moments to blessing I do like the second that like I just don't know how I feel about the whole song yet.
[00:18:24] Speaker E: See this is going to be my side and then no one's going to like anything on this.
That's what's going to happen. Watch. Verse 1 Hair raising Shake you're too much too late you should have jumped a couple of cars before now if I may I will walk away I'm selling silly putty door to door and up on the shelf it seems to help if I can keep a little bit of disease as it's feeding on me me pre chorus you see it's bringing me to my knees as we all wilt Chorus Watching you wilt his lyrics are pretty good.
He's good at giving you a story and giving you a picture.
[00:18:55] Speaker C: Yeah. In flight to despair I'm not sure
[00:18:58] Speaker E: if this has anything to do with drugs. Not positive if that's true or not. I guess we'll see. Let's continue.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: Come right away and help me B the filthy feeling cold biting my nails to the baggy tails about the magic of his double control See I got into your kid and you sleep my friends with a buckets full of elves Cuz he's breathing on me his breath is bringing me to my knees as we all live.
Watching you.
Sam.
[00:20:38] Speaker C: The more it went on, the more I liked it. I didn't dislike it before but I kind of felt that one part, the psychedelic part was a little bit whatever. But then he sang over it this. I don't remember if he did it the first time but it just. Everything just really blended better together and I Like that riff at the end. I want to say he did more soloing on the first record. He doesn't really do a lot here. He just kind of does guitar parts.
[00:20:59] Speaker E: Yeah, there's more parts. And this thing really reminds me of porno for Pyro.
[00:21:03] Speaker C: There's parts here where he's absolutely channeling
[00:21:04] Speaker E: Harry Pharrell straight up chorus more than anything. And his voice can go into that register. It's very similar in certain places.
[00:21:11] Speaker C: That was good. I like it.
[00:21:12] Speaker E: Yeah, this may be my favorite song so far.
[00:21:14] Speaker C: Nice.
[00:21:15] Speaker E: All right, let's read lyrics. Verse 2. Come right away and help me bathe away the filthy feeling Frigid and cold Biting my nails to the fairy tales about the magic monkeys. Total control. See, I got Indian Ken and his fleabag friends with their buckets full of elephant ears and he's breathing on me pre chorus. His breath is bringing me to my knees as we all will Chorus. Watching you wilt and then pea green the feeling. Whatever the that's supposed to mean. I'm gonna go first. I think I'm gonna do sevens across on this. I do like this a lot. It may be my favorite song on the album. I like the playing. I like the little psychedelic. That his melodies are better.
[00:21:49] Speaker D: Nicky Titty Baby Quintuple 7.
[00:21:52] Speaker E: Right.
[00:21:53] Speaker D: Like Sav said, you want to talk about channeling. He really does sound like Perry Farrell and more porn of a pyros than Jane's Addiction sound. Channeling that voice. I hear a lot of that garage band revival sound. For instance, like Jet or the Strokes. I like it. I'm going to give it the sevens across.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: Nikki Titty baby darling it's Quint 7.
[00:22:11] Speaker C: I will do the same make it
[00:22:13] Speaker E: easy honey that ain't no Picture Pistol it's quintuple 7. Nikki Titty Baby all right, so that's good so far. Two for two.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:22:20] Speaker C: I hope they keep going for you man.
[00:22:21] Speaker E: Too. All right, so next one is the Duke.
[00:22:40] Speaker B: Sam.
Living.
[00:23:47] Speaker C: I like it. Has a little bit of a Lucy in the sky vibes to me taking it.
[00:23:52] Speaker E: I hear a little bit of Hendrix in there.
[00:23:54] Speaker C: A little bit.
[00:23:55] Speaker E: I kind of like the reverse guitar at the beginning. The melody to me is still not as good as the other two songs. I'm going to give this a little bit more time. I don't hate it. I think I can live with the melody. Melody.
[00:24:04] Speaker C: I like the melody in the verse better than the chorus. I don't dislike the chorus complete. So boom. We'll see. It's interesting. Definitely Three for three. The second song is more of their style without the one we just heard. But definitely the first and third are the out there. Frank.
[00:24:20] Speaker D: Not too sure why this I sounds so 60 psychedelic. I do hear the handshakes. I do hear that Lucy in the sky sound in there, for sure. Don't know how I feel about it, but so far we're good.
[00:24:30] Speaker E: I do like the psychedelic part. I mean, that is part of the. Their thing. From what I read. It is part of what they do. And I do like this music a lot. I like the first part of the verse, I think, better than the second part of the verse. Melody. Wise wish he would have kept whatever he was doing on the first part in the second part, but that might happen. I mean, I don't know what happens in verse two, but we'll see. Verse one. Out here in nothing Engulfed by the sea and there's no one here except these fishes and me I think I could die here that I'm hit Leveled hard by the rising tide Correct. Chorus Or I'm hit hard by the tide I'm just livid all alone what do we think this is about? Is it about fishes, him being in the sea? I don't know what it's about.
[00:25:09] Speaker C: I mean, to me, I could be wrong.
I don't know necessarily what the Duke reference could be unless we really think about it. It's almost as if he's relaxed, right? He's just out here in the ocean. You're just relaxing. And then all of a sudden, boom. You get hit by tide. It's like reality or something. Something. Some kind of problem. Some of kind. Something.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: All right.
[00:25:28] Speaker E: Sounds good to me. All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:25:55] Speaker B: Just sit.
Let her think.
[00:26:46] Speaker C: I like that part. Actually, it would have been cool if it was a little bit longer. Maybe give the guitar, put a little bit more space there. But I really like the arrangement of this song. I think that's my favorite part. I don't mind the melody. The chorus, not so much. I like the verse to me, again, it's. It's one of those things where I kind of close my eyes when I'm listening and kind of drift with them.
[00:27:04] Speaker E: The solo was a little low in the mix. It was getting overridden by the whole rhythm section. Which is doing a great job, by the way. We haven't really talked about the bass playing and drumming. They've been great.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:27:14] Speaker E: Okay. Verse 2. Sunny so funny not funny to me Because I'm bearing the scars from it burning on me But I feel so revived just sitting here thinking that I'm hit hard, really hard by the tide. Chorus again, Solo. I'll just read the end chorus. I think it's the same exact thing as before. So the chorus goes out. Let's play it out and see what they do.
[00:27:57] Speaker B: Ram.
Cool.
[00:28:34] Speaker C: Nice little song.
[00:28:36] Speaker E: I do like it. So for the three for three for me.
[00:28:38] Speaker C: Nice.
[00:28:39] Speaker E: Sam, you go first.
[00:28:40] Speaker C: Six on everything but seven on arrangement and seven on the production. I would definitely go back to this. Even though I'm kind of giving sixes. I'm thinking about some stuff I gave sevens to. I don't know if it's there. It's still pretty good. I mean, I definitely go back. Back to it.
[00:28:55] Speaker B: Mark.
[00:28:55] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm doing the same thing. Six on lyrics, six on melody, seven and everything else. I thought it was great. Frank.
[00:29:00] Speaker D: I'm going to continue that same trend. Not so much crazy about the writing on this one, but definitely the music, the arrangements, production, all great. Kind of digging that whole psychedelic sound so far that we've been listening to on this side.
[00:29:11] Speaker E: Yeah, I think it's great. I don't know what the Duke is supposed to be. Wasn't the Duke John Wayne? Wasn't that his nickname? I don't know if that has anything to do with this or not.
[00:29:17] Speaker D: It's also the nickname of the football. In the football game.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Duke. Is this.
[00:29:22] Speaker E: Well, let's see. All right, next one is St. Andrew's Fall.
[00:29:37] Speaker B: Big stretch. Not much sleep. I got a couple of pine trees on each side to my cheek and it's a bright blue Saturday and the rubbish Selling the rubbish to me, me but if I could fly the sky.
Oh, I could find these fight and maybe see what you see if you were standing on the corner Staring straight in the eyes of Jesus Christ 1. 1.
[00:30:24] Speaker C: I mean, I really like this. I think there are certain songs that put you back to a time. And this puts me back in the 90s.
[00:30:32] Speaker B: Real.
[00:30:32] Speaker C: Really back in the 90s.
[00:30:34] Speaker E: It's super 90s. I do really like this so far. Four for four. I don't know what change from the first side to the second side. I don't know which songs are written first, but these songs are better than the songs on the first side for me.
[00:30:47] Speaker D: Yeah, I can hear what you're saying. There's certain songs that just puts you right back at a time. I never heard the song before today, so I can't say it reminds me of specific time in the 90s. But I can definitely see it coming from that era, what that sound was like during that time. Side two has been a surprise so far. I hope it keeps it up.
[00:31:04] Speaker E: I'm liking it. I was very bummed about the first side, but the second side's doing it for me. Verse 1 Big stretch, not much sleep I got a couple of palm trees on each side of my cheek and it's a bright blue Saturday in the rummage Selling me the rubbish Pre Chorus. If I could buy the sky that's hanging over this bed of mine if I could climb these vines and maybe see what you're seeing Cool. Chorus. If you were standing on the corner Staring straight into the eyes of Jesus Christ. Are any of these songs saying the name of the song in the chorus? I don't think that's happened once yet on this side.
[00:31:33] Speaker C: Yeah, he doesn't use the titles a lot, period.
[00:31:36] Speaker E: No, he doesn't even use it in the verses somewhere. Generally it's not anywhere. Yeah. Which is a thing all to itself.
[00:31:41] Speaker C: I mean, think about no rain, though. Where does he really use the title?
[00:31:44] Speaker E: I know, but I like that.
[00:31:46] Speaker C: I mean, that's stuff that I tried to do too. When I would write later. I'd always like a song that doesn't need to touch title.
[00:31:51] Speaker E: Well, he just does it for everything, though. It's not a once in a while thing. It's all the time.
[00:31:55] Speaker C: It's a style. I dig it.
[00:31:57] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm liking this so far. Let's continue. Here we go.
[00:31:59] Speaker B: The corner staring straight in the eyes of Jesus Christ.
And it's growing out back from roots But I don't know if they belong to me can be if I could find the sky.
Maybe See who you see if you stand on the edge of this a building 20 stars below 20 stars below Sam,
[00:33:44] Speaker E: That was cool.
[00:33:44] Speaker C: You know what that reminds me of? The Doors. Like, that's something the Doors would have done in one of their songs. The Fall. Imitating the fall.
[00:33:50] Speaker B: Fall.
[00:33:51] Speaker C: That was cool.
[00:33:51] Speaker E: That little part was weird in the middle.
[00:33:53] Speaker C: Yeah, But I think that was the whole thing at first. I'm like, where are they going with this? I guess it's imitating a fall. That's how I took it. And it reminded me of the Doors and something that they would have done. I was like, okay, I gotcha.
[00:34:03] Speaker E: And the course is a little different this time, too. Verse 2. One porch, one dog and one cockroach only one way to be I got sewage fruit and it's growing out of the back from roots. I don't know if they belong to me Pre chorus is the same. And then chorus purpose is we're sitting on the edge of this building 20 stories below. Below. 20 stories below. 20 stories below. 20 Stories below.
[00:34:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:22] Speaker E: And now we're coming back into an acoustic part again. So let's see.
[00:34:30] Speaker B: I can't tell you how many ways.
Easy way. So if I see you walking hand in hand, You know I understand
[00:34:54] Speaker C: but
[00:34:54] Speaker B: you should have my shoes yesterday.
Sam.
[00:36:05] Speaker C: Yeah, that was good. I liked it.
[00:36:08] Speaker E: Yeah, I thought it was good. I think they're doing a good job on this side. Okay. I outro. And I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat and viewed my life today? But I can tell you I don't think I can find an easy way? So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand the three armed man, you know I'll understand? You should have been in my shoes yesterday. You should have been in my shoes yesterday. I think it's good. I guess I'll go first. I think I'm gonna do sixes and then seven. Production. I think the production is really good. I don't know if I liked it as much as some of the things prior, but I. I thought it was good. SAP.
[00:36:38] Speaker C: Yeah. So this song is about a woman jumping out of a window and they witnessed it, FYI.
[00:36:42] Speaker E: Oh, nice.
[00:36:43] Speaker C: I guess that kind of sticks with you.
[00:36:45] Speaker E: I guess so.
[00:36:46] Speaker C: Oh, God. I'm gonna say sevens across. I thought this was good. I really like the feel of it. I like the music. I like the melody. I thought it was good.
[00:36:55] Speaker D: It's groovy, man. It's quintuple. Seven.
[00:36:57] Speaker E: Nikki titty baby.
[00:36:58] Speaker B: Right?
[00:36:59] Speaker D: As the song played on, I liked it more. Even though the lyrics are kind of morbid. The song itself is morbid. Very dark, like you pointed out, Zav. It really does fit to that 90s around me. I'm doing sevens all the way across.
[00:37:11] Speaker A: Where it Nikki titty baby darling? It's quint seven.
[00:37:13] Speaker E: Okay, Next thing is mouthful of cavities.
[00:37:19] Speaker B: Listen, man, I got the window open,
[00:37:20] Speaker C: Hear the cats listen.
[00:37:49] Speaker B: Mouth full of cavities and your soul's a bowl of jokes and every day you remind me me I'm desperately in need See, I got a lot of beings around and maybe can do nothing they see you, they see everything you do.
See everything on the inside.
[00:38:48] Speaker C: It's a little morose, which I like. Almost Zeppelin on the acoustic some parts. I like it so far.
[00:38:54] Speaker E: Yeah, it's not bad. I wonder who's singing in the back.
[00:38:57] Speaker C: Jenna CRO lyrics.
[00:39:00] Speaker E: First one Mouthful of cavities and your soul's a bowl of joke and every day you remind me How I'm desperately in need See, I got a lot of friends around and they're peeking through and nothing new and they see you and they see everything you do Everything you do Chorus Seeing everything on the inside out he actually used the name of the song, the verse. That's not normal for him, anyway. Yeah.
[00:39:19] Speaker C: Jenna Kraus, she was from Philly, think she was like a model but underage.
So, I mean, not that it's bad, I'm just saying she wasn't. But the one enraged, she would still charm her way into places, playing to play her songs for people. When she met the then unknown members of Blind Melon, they took Jenna under their wing and made several recordings with her, including this one.
[00:39:39] Speaker E: Yes, it's pretty good. All right, let's continue.
[00:39:54] Speaker B: Me so mean, so you I write a letter to a friend of mine I tell him how much I used to love to watch him smile See I haven't seen him smile in a little while.
Haven't seen him smile in a little while.
But I know you left it from the inside out Laughing from me inside out Inside out Loving from the inside from the inside.
Sam.
[00:41:38] Speaker C: Yeah, that was good. I wasn't expecting that part at the end with the drums and everything. Honestly, they're just going to be straight acoustic.
That's another good one, man. I mean, listen, overall, I think this is a pretty solid record.
[00:41:47] Speaker E: I like that part. I thought it was good. I didn't expect the drums to come in either, but I like the drums when they came in. Thought it helped the whole song. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, I'm liking this so far. Second side's much better for me. First two. Oh, please give me a little more and I'll push away those baby blues because one of these days this will die so will me and so will you I write a letter to a friend of mine and tell him how much I used to love to watch him smile See, I haven't seen him smile in a little while haven't seen him smile in a little while Chorus But I know you're laughing from the inside out Laughing from the inside out I know you're laughing from the inside out Laughing from the inside, the inside, the inside out I think he's doing a really good job on the second side. I don't know what happened on the first side, but this stuff's been really good for me.
[00:42:26] Speaker C: Hey, listen, maybe one day you'll go Back to the first time. Be like, you know what? This is not so bad either. Either.
[00:42:31] Speaker E: Maybe or maybe not. I just like the second time, maybe.
Why don't you go first?
[00:42:36] Speaker C: I think six on the lyrics, maybe seven on everything else. Make it simple, right?
[00:42:42] Speaker D: Like the two of you. I'm enjoying side to a lot better. Makes me wonder if side two was recorded like Mark said earlier, if it was all recorded together inside two or.
[00:42:52] Speaker C: I didn't say I necessarily like second side better. Mark said that.
[00:42:55] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:42:56] Speaker C: I'm enjoying enjoying both.
[00:42:58] Speaker D: I stand corrected. Yeah, I stand corrected. For me, I do like the second side better.
For this one. I'm gonna go sevens all the way across. I kind of like that whole. I like the beginning mostly, and then when the drums kicked in, just gave it a different dimension to the song.
[00:43:12] Speaker C: Music can change the world because it can change people.
And it's quintuple. Seven. Nikki titty baby.
[00:43:21] Speaker E: I'm going to do six on the lyrics, six on the melody, and seven on everything else. The melody here is a little. Not really in my wheelhouse, but it's better than I thought the stuff on the first side was. I'm still liking it so far. I could put the second side on and be totally happy. This is more what I was expecting than the first side. And now we are at the end. This is Lemonade.
[00:43:56] Speaker B: Y' all gonna have to look out for you Our color green and everything believe in But I keep screaming Blow my glass of lemonade I walk around and it feels good to be found the breeze that's blowing through cannot be found Jump on the trolley are the temporary Hallel.
Man, you're going to have to look after you in desperate need of a little My religion to that godlike point of view.
Hello. Yeah,
[00:45:04] Speaker C: It's fine. It actually reminds me of Rod Stewart a little bit. It's more of a fun song. And I can see this being either an interlude or the last song, I think.
[00:45:12] Speaker E: Yeah. His voice does sound a little Rod Stewarty there, doesn't it?
[00:45:15] Speaker C: Even the music reminds me something he would do.
[00:45:17] Speaker E: It's interesting. He used Lemonade.
[00:45:19] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:45:19] Speaker E: Which was weird. I didn't expect him to actually use it anywhere near the chorus of any sort of. That's very surprising for me.
[00:45:26] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:45:26] Speaker E: I watched his videotape stuff. I have a feeling this is about New Orleans. Because he said because of his problems that he had. It was the worst place for him because he had no controls. When I read the words, it'll make a little more sense. But after seeing that and now listening to this, I'm like, oh, this makes a lot of sense.
[00:45:44] Speaker D: Strong finish. So great side. Enough said right there. It's really great. I like it. Didn't think I would enjoy this side as much, the whole album in general. Nice surprise.
[00:45:51] Speaker E: Verse 1 There's such a thing as self opinion and this far down south I have no self control. If anyone else feels like they're nobody, well, then you're gonna have to look out for you Pre Chorus I'll color green everything believed in But I keep screaming for my glass of lemonade verse 2 I walk around and it feels good to be moving the breeze is blowing through Though I cannot be found Jump on the trolley that's headed for all the hollering hey, man, you're gonna have to look out for you Pre Chorus in desperate need of a little more religion to nurse your godlike point of view oh, yeah, well oh yeah It's a very quick thing that he says about the south part, but I have to believe that that's what he's speaking about because in his recordings that he did, it was really a point that he had to get out of there. He even said once they left Los Angeles on the tour before he died. Didn't he die in New Orleans? Pretty positive he did. That was a bad place for him because it was too easy to get the things that were bad for him. He really wanted to get out of there too. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Anyway, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:46:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
Well, under sheep room you gotta lay down in your arms the river flowing by is way too big to bound if I should speak up say hello, Mr. Replica. Oh, how nice to have a night of you I'll bloody bleed out everything I'm seeing But I'll be dreaming for that last illuminate.
Too much, too much, too much lemonade Too much, too much, too much lemonade.
Too much, too much, too much, too much, Too much Too much Too much Too much Too much Too much, too much.
Sam.
[00:49:04] Speaker C: That's cool. It kind of ended the way it started. Kind of New Orleans vibe. They were. They played in Houston. He died on the bus that they were scheduled to go to New Orleans. That's my understanding.
[00:49:14] Speaker E: Says that he died in New Orleans, Louisiana.
[00:49:17] Speaker C: Really? Because this thing says he died. I guess maybe they made it there
[00:49:20] Speaker E: and they made it there, but he didn't play. They did Houston. In Houston, they said that the show was pretty crappy. And then when they got to New Orleans, he died there.
[00:49:28] Speaker D: But.
[00:49:28] Speaker E: Which is kind of Funny and foreshadowing of the album ending with the New Orleans kind of band stuff at the end.
[00:49:35] Speaker C: Yeah, in the beginning. Sounding like the New Orleans funeral procession that goes through the cemetery.
[00:49:39] Speaker E: And at certain points in the movie, he went into the cemetery with all the headstones and stuff in there. And he was recording in there because he recorded everything. It's just weird that he would die in New Orleans and have such a bad feeling about that place just because of all the stuff he was doing. It's. It's just a big foreshadow if you. If you look at it that way. Crazy. Verse 3. Fool on the sheet roof you got to lay down your ruins the river flowing by is way too big to bound Vice should speak up and say hello, Mr. Uppercut oh, how nice to have avoided you Pre chorus. I'll bloody bleed on everything I'm seeing But I'll keep screaming for that glass of lemonade and then the chorus is too much, too much, too much lemonade. This is the first time he's used the name of the song in the chorus.
[00:50:19] Speaker C: Yes. Well, it was about a bar fight too, so that makes sense. That uppercut.
[00:50:22] Speaker E: Yeah. Hello, Mr. Uppercut Line and bleeding. It's nice to have avoided you.
[00:50:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:27] Speaker E: Frank, go first.
[00:50:28] Speaker D: What I like the most about the song, it brought the whole album in full circle. Like the two we highlighted started off with that whole New Orleans funeral burial procession and they end it that way. And the whole theme, the. Of the song, I just really jived. I like the lyrics. Great way to end a great side. I'm going to give this 8 across just because it just brought everything back in full circle. The lyrics are kind of fun to listen to. The arranging, production, everything, all. Everything about this song is awesome. So
[00:50:56] Speaker C: I'm going to say six is a cross. I mean, I think it's. To me, it's more fun than anything else. It's not bad. I may go back to it, but it's fun. But yeah, it's a full circle. And some of the premonition of the record and the way it begins and ends is a little bit. Bit eerie. Overall, I think this is a pretty strong record. Without a doubt. I'm very happy that we got this mark.
[00:51:15] Speaker E: I'm gonna do six on the lyrics, six on melody, seven on music, seven on arrangement, and eight on production. Because I'd like how they added the band back in at the end. It's not my favorite on this side, but I think overall for me, the second side's better and I Do like this and the premonition is just freaky. But it's cool. We got this record. I've heard about this record for a long time. I was a little bummed at the first side. I thought I was gonna like it more. But the second side made up for the first side. I. There is stuff you could have released here. Maybe Wilt could have been a release possibly. I know the stuff in the first I would have been a little harder to release besides Galaxy because it probably wouldn't have played well on radio at that point. But it was cool to get.
[00:51:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm happy. I remember liking it, but I hadn't heard in a while and I really liked the first one and yeah, I really like this one pretty good. I'm glad we got this.
[00:52:00] Speaker E: All right, so I want you to do your thing.
