On the lead track of the album, her voice doesn't sound like she's singing "I want Bruce to be my love" anymore. What gives? Do we have another Paul and Zinnia on our hands?

Don't fret my sweet Bru-say, you'll always, always, have Latter Days.

Actually, I can answer this one...

When it was gonna be titled BORN, they were going to use "I want Bruce to be my love".

But when it changed to DRUNKARD'S PRAYER, they changed the line in the song to "I want Drew to be my love", which is much stronger for so many reasons. However, printing of the booklet and associated materials was already under way, and sadly no one caught a typo... The tray liner incorrectly titles the song, "I Want You To Be My Love".

Karin & Linford, thoughtful as they are, personally called me on the DrewPhone™ and offered to pull the incorrect booklets, tray liners, and CDs and reprint. I, thoughtful as I am, declined, explaining that I didn't want to delay the release of the CD to the waiting fans.

Just know that it is, correctly, "I Want Drew To Be My Love" in title and in lyric (though the 'placeholder' lyric can be faintly heard in a lot of the song... the 'placeholder' was "you" until K&L could secure licensing to use The Drew™, which they gratefully received).

Ah, the interesting world behind-the-scenes of the music industry!

That also makes sense that it's called Drunkard's Prayer now...

She's over you, Bru-say.

Oh, but if we could only place italics in thread titles. For a second there I thought Bruce had been taken hostage by one of those hundred or so that he dragged off to an OTR concert and stood daftly by as they hated it, who now, being fully in control of their wits had forced him to write "it doesn't sound like she's singing to me." Rather than, "It doesn't sound like she's singing to me."

Maybe I need work on my own grammar, ya think? wink.gif

From FIREFLY: "Firefly in the night sky. Only light's on your ass".

Or am I mishearing it?
b_lachey@hotmail.com
Haha! That's going in the "great misheard lyrics file"! What she's really singing is:

"Firefly in the night sky. Only light's from Drew's ass".
DustyVolume
On my official pre-release (that I got when I knocked, local WFFD program manager, Steelan A. Kraploed in the head and ran away quick like the wind before the Babylon Five could tail my ass) I found that I hear:

"Sky rockets in the night, afternoon delight"

I did steal the right disc didn't I?

That'd be one HECK of a lot of light judging from the size of that guy's ass!

Drew will guard the door ... when I am sleeping.

Drew will guard the door.

Drew, Bruce - you guys have had your days:

I'm happy with myself? and I don't have what it takes to please Drew .

Oh Bru-say, it's not as bad as it seems.

Please give the rest of us a chance!

Russ, Russ, Russ. Thankfully Michelle didn't forget:

"And I'm dying inside to leave you... With more than Bruce Lachey"

Ok, I want in on it.......

"Aaron's a me you would not recognize, call him the shadow of myself."

BTW, On "Nobody number One" I initially thought she sang: "Stupid christians, forget about your answers. Do you really wanna die this way?

Great line, that. smile.gif

It seems to me like Karin's been singing about most of the Orchard men for a while now ...

Lifelong Fling:
" ... lying up in heaven with my special Fred ..."

Faithfully Dangerous:
" ... stroke your skin, there are Keith marks to be sure ..."

Changes Come, during the misheard "Jesus come" section:
"Steve, just come, turn my world around ..."

I have to wonder if "Sleep Baby Jane" is about a certain Jane who seems to be of the slacker and silent variety.
silentjane
yeah. i wish.

You forgot a couple:

Russ, now, my sweet little noisy Troy,
there's trouble enough in the world


Double hitter, see? biggrin.gif

It's not Mark that caused the fire

My memory will not fail me now.
And the rest is just for Steve.

Enh, enh?

I'm just happy that Karin sings at all.
historyprof
I heard the following:

"Like an ocean without Daves
You're the movement that I crave"

" I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back
On this Dave"

"You were the David that tripped and fell
Beautiful dancing infidel"


The last one is particularly insightful of Karin since I'm always tripping over things.

kentuckiannna
The girls get one too:

Annna's dying inside to leave you
with more than just cliches


Again, pretty damn insightful...

Am I the only one here who wouldn't want to be in a song? That'd creep me out knowing anyone who heard it would wonder who I was.

In fact, that's exactly why almost no one I know knows the name of the band I'm in. It'd just be too weird for me if I was "that guy with that song".
