Ahhhh now we're talking. Didn't like the live version much, but it definitely sounds a few times better recorded.
Also, there needs to be a bulletin telling people about it because most people don't notice/don't visit their myspace every day.

That video clip from vines.com is the end of this song. Sounds good to me:P
tyler
this is much better. I think its a bit of a grower for me. I liked it when I heard it... but after a couple of listens I like it a lot more. The production is kinda weird though, not what I would have expected from Big Robbo... I can't decide if I think it's too polished or not. The main vocal line has that edge to it which I think this song needs, and the rest is different from what we're used to as Craig hasn't stuck to the usual harmonies we'd expect.
The one thing I would say I don't like about this song is the middle-8... just something about it really bothers me, maybe its the lyrics, maybe it's because it's the same rhythm pattern as the middle 8 in ride...
I love the song... but I don't know if it's a wise choice for their first single.

I love it! happy.gif

Just a reminder:

Please don't upload Vines CD songs onto this site guys! I know the new album hasn't been released yet and everyone wants to have a copy of the songs on their computer, but there will be some people who download the song and as a result don't buy the singles/ album. The band needs our support, please don't steal their music!

p.s. the song is awwwwesome
i agree with tyler though, dont know if it's too polished or not
whats with the end echo thing?
borgy
It's not the usual production style for the Vines which is good, sounds refreshing to hear a new twist on an old favorite. Love it.

yeh I was surprised there was no bulletin.. not even one of those 'update' things. I mean, even Ivy League Records have it up now and an "Ivy League Records added new music" came up. I think it's important that the people who have listened to the live version, have a listen to it as a finished work too... they really have to listen to the recorded version before they judge it.
But I think it's terrific! smile.gif
tyler
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge Bradley for coming up with such a pumping bassline to drive the verses along, they would sound really weird otherwise.
... and to acknowledge Hamish for all those spitting snares and rolling tom fills. Love it.

This song is such a grower.

I added this song to my myspace biggrin.gif. I've downloaded the new tracks, but I still plan to buy the album. I have to get it the day it comes out biggrin.gif

That's why there's iTunes, I'll probably end up getting it on iTunes then buying the CD when I get home tongue.gif

I don't have it. It was added to the MySpace by Sophie from Winterman & Goldstein.
If you're subscribed to The Vines in your updates you should have received an update about the new music added. And there was a bulletin.
tyler
can you tell sophie from winterman & goldstein that she should have gotten her arse in gear to ensure the new website was up in time to support the bands public appearances. I can't tell you how much it is making me angry- and I am assuming a lot of other people here- that the website hasn't been updated to support the boys' public appearances. poor show.

That was a bit rude. She's being quite helpful. The site has links to here and the MySpace... though it would definitely help to have the main site updated, its not a dead end at all.

I love the end echo thing, I think it magical. It alone could be the very best part of the song, except that the rest of it is so great.

Belive me, I was holding back. I don't mean to be rude, but this really is appalling. As far as I can see it's completely illogical. The band have missed too many opportunities to expand their fanbase and get themselves back into the public eye through not being in touch with the opportunities modern media has to offer them to stay in touch with their fans. Every other band on the planet is being innovative and taking advantage of those opportunities, and we can't even get a decent website up and running. It's been down for months now and that is just unacceptable. It's the band who suffer as a result of this, and after everything else I don't think they need that right now. This simply won't be the big comeback that we and the band want if they don't get the promotion right- they can say they want the music to do the talking all they want, but if no one knows the music is there, then what good is it? I see it as one of our duties as fans of the band to make sure that everything is being done in the band's best interests, I honestly can't believe that more people aren't making a bigger fuss about this.

amen and amen. as much as i like the people involved in the vines organization, their promotion for the band throughout VV and leading up to the new album has been piss poor at best. it's like they don't understand we're in the new millennium with all this technology at their fingertips that not only should make their job of promoting the band worldwide easier but it's not even that expensive!!

it's easy and cheap enough to pay an individual or small web business to do a band's webpage. they've got lizzy doing the band's myspace and linda running the fanclub for FREE. but they have to take the time to share news, music, pictures etc. with these outlets and for whatever reason of theirs - that's not getting done.

and, tyler, you're right. it's the band who will ultimately pay the price with an album that arrives and quickly disappears if they don't start taking advantage or these opportunities to lure new listeners and fans to the band.
mmb0510
add me to the fuss makers above!

If I knew how to make websites I'd do it for free, but unfortunately I don't sad.gif
It is quite sad that the website isn't up yet...there's no valid reason for a lack of a website (I mean unless there's literally NO funds left for it, or there are still legal issues with Capitol, but I doubt either is the case)

...and although it's not a complete dead end (thank God for that) it's still not a proper website, even if it isn't a huge elaborate website, it should be something with more substance by now than just "coming soon" because if you're a new potential fan, you might not go as far as to browse this forum or even their myspace, and just turn around a leave from the "coming soon" website and forget about the band sad.gif

ultimately it's up to them/their management to make this happen, but I do wish that the message of this little bit of "fuss" that we're making here would hastly make it to the right ears and something would be done about this

No, True As The Night is the 6 minute song. The video that's up on youtube is only half of it. tongue.gif
The second half goes like "I stand alone inside", and "yeah, we are the heart.. yeah, we are the soul.." or something like that. It's really pretty. smile.gif

to do this you have to download video splitting software (or try using windows movie maker)...I have a program that's called ultra video splitter...but you have to either buy it or find a key/crack/serial for it online for it to work properly. If you don't want to bother doing all this I would gladly split the videos, but the only way I can think of getting them to me is if you download them onto megaupload or yousendit or rapidshare, and I can then grab them from there and split them. Hope this helps and let me know if you want me to split them
