Dori_Epiphone Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think Amy is a beautiful song and have loved it since I heard it and recorded it for everyone at the tiki bar last year. The lyrics are heartfelt for sure but the music sounds to me like a complete copy of Pearl Jams Last Kiss. Hear to this Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxCu6FzJzhU The lyrics and music are similar ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Amy still sounds beautiful, but I had predicted that it would become a huge hit...I'm not so sure now after hearing that clip. I feel the same! At first I thought "this is going to be beautiful and perfect and the world needs to hear." Now it just seems like a quiet, lovely thing. Not sure where the difference happened.... probably to do with the type of guitar sound... it doesn't feel full enough for radio. But I'll wait till we get the real version before making that judgment because it could be more fleshed out and CSI isn't playing it as it's meant to sound.

Bastard of 1967 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's ironic that you say "all killer no filler" considering the number of times the band has stated this in interviews. Either their not that good at critiquing themselves or they just have bloated egos, which to be honest I could kind of see based on Tre saying "this shit is fucking genius!" in that studio update video. Nothing I've really heard so far is of "genius" level, it's more along the lines of "gets by". And I'm not going to lower my expectations of them, because why should I? That just means their quality is declining. I hope iDos! and iTre! change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trotsky Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't understand the negative reactions in here...We had heard this song a year ago with bad youtube quality. I don't think the song has changed.The vocals have this vibe and melancholy of 60's and the guitar it's pretty good and sweet. When we heard Amy live again we will feel the same feeling...I'm sure.

It's a great, beautiful, delicate and emotional song. I think what most are trying to say is that their expectation for this song was that it would have a more dry sound on the vocals so it would have maybe sounded more raw and intimate, kind of like the vocals in Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) The vocals in Amy sound great though but it sounds kind of like it was recorded in a spacy room like a bathroom (somehow this seems like an insult but I'm having a hard time to explain it better) Also the strings were not present in the preview we heard from the episode. Which is kind of suspicious because the preview was the ending of the song. So the strings are either earlier in the song or they used a string-less version for the episode. I personally don't really miss the strings because it already sounds quite emotional as it is now. But in my head it had a more full sound. But I completely respect the decision they made for the song and I am going to wait for the eventual album version as soon as I got Dos in my hands before I can make a decent judgement.

Comrade Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I guess everyone's response to stuff is different. The first time I heard 'Amy', it brought me to tears because it was so tender and simple, so personal, a soul-to-soul response ; people were writing all kinds of tributes in mostly the formal way, but Billie Joe took it to heart and gave his heart and he wrote this song. I loved the purity of the impulse that brought it - this is a lament, something that's a rarity in contemporary music, and shows Billie Joe's stamp as a true balladeer. The lyrics are so vivid and painful - the bloodstained shoes, the tattoos warding off evil, the whole sense of someone stumbling thru emotional chaos and in the midst of it, the appreciation of her place in music. 'I want you around' - it's that feeling about people in the larger music scene, or any scene, people who can seem peripheral and who you can take for granted, and then you realize how very essential they were. To me, it's a heartfelt, heartbreaking song. And that is part of why I love the band. Everyone gets something different. I'm perfectly aware I'm in the minority of people who don't like it much, and that so many people like it at least pleases me that there are lots of people getting something so good from a song. For what it's worth, I didn't like the Youtube version, and seriously didn't think it would make the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Jimmy the Troublemaker Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This band has quality and quantity my friend... Yes, I agree. But I don't want them to release songs just for the sake of releasing new material in a short period of time (maybe filling the contract's demands?)

No Rhyme Or Reason Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes, I agree. But I don't want them to release songs just for the sake of releasing new material in a short period of time (maybe filling the contract's demands?) I don't think they're filling any contractual demands. Based on their enthusiasm and what they've said in interviews, they are just genuinely proud of the songs and wanted to be able to share all of them with us. They had to convince their label to allow them to release this many songs - on 3 albums - so quickly, and it was their own idea. They could definitely have cut it down to just 15 songs and released one album, but the songs are good enough that they all deserved to be released. (And this is just the top 37 - remember that Billie had around 80 to begin with!) Personally, I think all the songs we've heard so far are great. There are varying opinions on which songs are best or worst among them, but I'd say all the songs are strong enough that they should be heard.

I agree, but in general I've been very pleased with the quality of songs. Surely there will be songs that we don't like very much but is reasonable in a set of 37 songs. The trilogy is a difficult undertaking.I expect to hear all the songs from the trilogy and then I will judge the whole trilogy thing. So far I am satisfied but I would expect to see the continuation.
