Love Before The Rain..it's a great intro for the AYNIN tour. And it really showcases Simon's vocal when he goes for the power. Brilliant!Time for more soul baring from Aftertherain, why not !
Well actually if your thinking why not, great keep reading. If your thinking why ?
Go to another thread or post I insist.
What do I love about BTR
Well for starters the Fairlight is back and the track sounds really organic, OK well as organic as possible with the Fairlight included.
It's dark, moody and mysterious much like some of the old school DD while most certainly it is also a related cousin to Arcadia. In particular Goodbye Is Forever with a little Missing included.
Let me explain.
When I first downloaded the first 9 AYNIN tracks and heard this at the albums conclusion it literally took me back to Arcadia. Why ? Well firstly the lyrics are of self reflection/regret and then SLB does his magic with his voice which is in actual fact an instrument in itself.
The crooning, (groaning or moaning as my family have so wrongly described it) is so reminiscent of Arcadia's GIF where he does a similar thing also and in fact with BTR to an even greater extent on AYNIN. As for the live version well let me quote another wiseman Mr skinburn "It showcases SLBs voice When he goes for the power in it".
It most certainly does.
Mmm now if only I can get get my hands on a live version of GIF and Missing. Bummer that's right Arcadia never bloody toured and neither has either track ever been played bloody live, as far as I'm aware.
From a lyric perspective this is the heart guys, that's linked to mine and perhaps whoever else enjoys or finds comfort with BTR. It truly hits emotionally, and hell yeah I am MAN enough to admit it.
It's DD after all and besides I know no other way than this way to be with them.
SLB sings and boy he does............indeed !
A stormy summer, Is rolling closer, Lighting up this holy smoker
And if this drinking, Could ease the thinking
I toast to my home truth with this glass
All rise you promises broken, Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain
Yeah well truth be known I'm happily married but I'm human too and therefore past lovers, friends who I readily saw and once was fond of although may not see as often as I would like including thinking of past fun times, all have still to this day managed to create a smile on my face and yeah then there's some that don't for sure it wasn't all roses.
Yet I have no regrets and therefore am able to cope with stormy summers rolling closer toasting to home truths, promises broken and calling past lovers with this glass or two or three.
While taking into account words that are spoken to the wind which blows before the rain.......incredible STUFF LeBON !!!
Its about both the re visiting/reminiscing of past experiences and an emotional thing also with a little guilt in there too.
Ones past is who they are and who it is they've become, or so Ive heard.
It's by no means my all time favourite DD song but it truly gets me, sometimes hits me and yes this song has been known to grab me too................lucky song indeed then! Lol
Im certain some might be thinking, why then is it 'after' and not 'before' the rain?
Well that dear friends I can not express just yet, well not at this early stage, after all we have only been together 3 months.
Anyway I should have started a thread hey,
Why is your chosen DDboard's name, what it is?
For others who are crazy like me, who also wish and love to bare their soul?
With all that said I cant help but wonder.
Has anyone on this board actually officially changed their given birth name to their preferred chosen DDboard name?
Changed officially I mean at the Birth, Death and Marriages office???
