hey, everyone! what vines' song inspires you most, or describes you?
plz reply!!! luv GottaGetOuttathaway

Hum, i dunno, it's a good question ... i think autumn shade II inspires me a lot ! But Get free describes me correctly

probably the same with me, too. other way around, though. Get Free inspires me, and Autumn Shade 2 describes me. i really agree with F.T.W (all the way!!!) and Craig's voice is really sexy in 1969!!!

Yesss anyway Craig's voice is sexy in every song. I made one of my mom's friends listened to The Vines and she told me 'Hey his voice is really sensual'

yess, EXTREMELY SEXY in every song. but especially in 1969 when the bass kicks in and he hums in his very sexy voice. I LOVE HIM!!!! Could just eat him up

"I opened the door, tripped over some unknown object, and fell right on top of him. Everyone else in the room shouted "Watch out!!! You're going to fall on him!!!", but soon their voices turned to whispers, then finally dissappeared. It was just he and I now, staring into each other's souls- not even contemplating saying a word. It was beautiful. I was swimming in his beauty, the gorgeous blue ocean that was his eyes."

this song's awesome. Don't you ever listen to the live one of BDO 2003 ? that's great, if you want i can upload it for ya but in fact, i guess i prefer the live version than the album version .... i dunno ... it's hard to choose

u can upload it for me.. sure! u read the quote i put up? 'the gorgeous ocean that was his eyes...'

okay, i'll do

What is it, a poem you wrote ? one of your dreams ?

wow, u r right on cue!!! it's one of my dreams. they're very real and i like them. it was a dream that i wrote a poem about. do you like it? is it good? my passions are with arts, such as drawing, writing, and music. that's why i write poems. especially ones that have to do with dreams. my dreams are a good inspiration (as well as craig *wink*)

Yeah i really like it, it's beautiful Jessica

You love art too ? that's brilliant, So do i, especially photography and music, i love drawing but i'm not talented so

same here. photography is so much fun. crapps, it wont play where did you get it?

What are you talking about ? the song i sent you ?

yes

Owww That's strange, it doesn't work ? i can re-upload it

yessssss found it!!!!!!!

autumn shade describes me all the way!!

Slip into the autumn shade
I could sleep for days
But I like the sun when
I can hear another sound
It's a long way down
Keep my head up


and this part of the song

Who am I to be this way
Dreamin so insane

and the songs that inspire me the most are ... most of their songs

Hmm..


well Spaceship, becuase I just want to go home...

Vision Valley... llloonnnggg ass story that i dont really want to get into ()

Get Free.. it just gives you this hidden energy when you listen to it.

oo.. Winning Days too! kept me going

I've seen you down when I was flying i love the way he says that

the song that describes me best would have to be sunchild.. and for inspiration i would say going gone.. just because its my name, and as ironic as it is.. i can relate to it.. alot. =]

about you dying?

yeh, really hard to chose, cuz i think i kno, but then i think of another song. they all describe me and inspire me in one way or another.

theirs to many so im gonna name three, winning days , get free, and ....spaceship

I would like to say all of them. But one of them is Autumn Shade II.

I got into the Vines after being diagnosed with AS last January. Craig's lyrics have been such a big help to me in dealing with my own situation and making sense of myself and my past experiences (good and bad).

I think the three songs that mean the most to me personally are:

Winning Days - when he sings I'm sinking like a stone...I can't breathe...I've been trying and
Rainfall - Can't believe they've started talking so retarded...I don't know what I don't know...Let me go
Vision Valley - with the benefit of feeling on your own

Those first two songs have helped me so much, because they showed me that I wasn't the only one who ever felt completely confused, overwhelmed and frightened by "normal" people and their indecipherable motives and agendas.

VV is comforting because I can tell how centered he was becoming when he wrote it. He finally had the answer to why he felt better on his own, and he sounded like he was starting to find peace.

I can't wait for the new album, to see what new directions he's moving in now. I'm so happy for him.

To describe me I'd say Atmos. the song is very spacey as I tend to be sometimes. Its also short and random, like a dive into obsession. now that I think of it the song is very bi-polar too, lol.

for inspiration I don't know. I take inspiration from the band itself than the actual songs.

I'm happy for you to find comfort in Craig's songs. I feel for you, cause I gain peace in listening to his songs, too. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a little autistic myself, living in such a complex world...then I close my eyes and listen to his songs, and I feel the weight drift away from my body.

Still, I haven't answered the primary question. Tis too hard, I'll get back to it later, I promise.

The Autumn Shades (both of them) They both describe my feelings completely. I know that feeling of wanting to slip into a different world where everything is calm and simple.

Winning Days really inspires me..I think I can relate to Vision Valley..but Spaceship is really touching..I cried a few times listening to it..I don't know why.

Spaceship, Maryjane P.S im nt a pot head... and outtathway

Spaceship.

It's the only Vines song I've been listening to non-stop for the past three days. I've put it on for more than half a day the other day.

The thing about Spaceship, for me, is it doesn't really have a specific ambiance to it. To me, it's neither sad, happy, etc. It just enhances whatever mood I'm in at the moment I'm listening to it.

I don't know if anyone feels the same way I do about the song, or whether or not I even make sense.

Edit: I didn't even really answer the question.

That's precisely how I feel about Don't Go!
Although I don't officially own the track (damn, I wish it would get to an album ) it is probably my favourite song, if I were ever able to choose one.
It's so ... flexible, I guess. It's longing and melanchony whenever I need it to be that way, and it's almost happy and hopeful whenever I need that the most. And it flows so nicely. It improves my mood every time and I think it holds the key to who I think I am and to what I feel. It's inspiring, though I'm not very creative so I can't say I've done anything extraordinary because of it, but I can say it made me want to do that. I love Craig's voice and layering in the song and how it's loud even though it really isn't (okay, I'm not making much sense ) and that "a-ah" part gets me every time. My heart just starts beating faster when I hear it. I can't really describe it, but I somehow feel that the song is the best friend I had in a long long time. No questions asked, just safety and comfort. That's what the song is to me.

I think that Sun Child describes me. When I hear this music seems that I'm in the clouds. Sitting on them, and singing. But spaceship inspires me. When I'm at school, I hear spaceship in the mp3 and it seems that I'll travel for other dimension.

and it's simply magic. *.*

I need a few to describe me as I got a fair few personalities mashed up in there

So: Winning Days + 1969 + Spaceship + Amnesia = Me

Winning Days for it's interestingly sad but uplifting sound and lyrics.
Both sad and happy with a fine line dividing the two

1969 has huge energetic bursts that then reclines back to a soft serene sound, it's very powerful to me

Spaceship is beautiful in every sense of the word. I depart from the earth every time I hear it and refuse to come back down

Amnesia is so surreal, "I cannot remember my own sanity" tends to often apply to me I always seem to look up when i hear this song, look up at sky. It really lifts me so high that my own feet feel foreign to me as I realize they're still firmly stuck to the ground

I feel exactly the same as you. When I first listened to Highly Evolved I just felt that I could connect to Craig in some way even if I at that time didn't know why I felt that way. After Craig got his diagnose I knew why. And I have Craig to thank for me getting clarity in why I've always felt alienated to the rest of the world

I feel that I can relate to most of his lyrics. I can't just mention a few songs since there's so many that appeals to me. And you took some very good examples of lyrics that means a lot to me.

Also Country Yard. That first line 'I'm tired of feeling sick and useless' describes perfectly what I feel many times.

ohh...hmm..it must be Country Yard (as fuuuran describes too) 'I'm tired of feeling sick and useless'

Autumn Shade II of the lines

'Look through me because I am transparent
Ought to know me but why even know yourself
I'm beginning to need all that I can't have
I'm succeeding to speak like I'm fucking mad
Looking at the autumn shade'

Ain't No Room describes me to like 'There ain't no room for me in the city'

So Country Yard, Autumn Shade II and Ain't No Room describes me

umm.. Vision Valley describes me totally. it was the song that got me hooked, really. and also Winning Days. Aint No Room is about how i feel right now i guess..
the song that ispires me would be Spaceship, and Get Free...
ah goodness, Craig inspires me all the time no matter what song he sings. i even learned to play guitar already, thanks to him..

every song. in a different way...yeah. but i can really relate to 1969 the most. and to winning days. i cant describe why, thats just the way it is..i can just totally relate to the lyrics.. ..

Someone called me a Sun child once... but I think that Vision Valley describes me totally or maybe the way I see myself and the way I understand the song.
I could picture my self in the vision valley and just chilling

For me it'd have to be Highley Evolved since Craig is kinda looking in o the world from the outside examining things about society today...and i find myself doing that at times..plus hes happy in the song and im a happy guy!

country yard, winning days anddd vision valley, hands down.
