![]() Yeah I wrote this really late at night and came up with the examples way too quickly.there's a ton of better lines on the album, including that Behold the Hurricane line. I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread but "Be still my heart, I age by years at the mention of you name," is my favourite lyric of all time and I think just may very well be the greatest line ever written, closely followed by "I spent my whole life, a little less up than my downs," Personally I don't really rate this line at all in comparison to any of the other Fallon greats, I feel like anyone could have come up with it. "I met you in the upper room of the house where I slept with the angels" The Angry Johnny Revue wrote: eagles1139 wrote: I definately thought this guy is a proffesional after hearing this album. I love TGA, but this was the first album that truly made me think, regarding Brian Fallon as a songwriter, "this man is a fucking professional."ĭefinately agree with the quote there. There wasn't a song I didn't love I never wanted to skip through it, not once, and even distancing myself from the initial excitement of the first listen, I think and feel the exact same way about it. With Elsie, even looking at it objectively, it did something more-it was perfect for me. When I look at even The 59 Sound objectively, it's a group of great songs, a few fun throwaways, with a few tracks I'll never forget. Handwritten has a lot of Elsie in it, I think (Too Much Blood, Mae, Mullholand Drive to name a few), but had more not-as-memorable but still really fun tracks on it.Įlsie, though, for me was something special on an objective, as well as a visceral, level-the lyrics, the music, the vocals, the whole style of it, I got totally wrapped up in. I loved, loved The '59 Sound for the emotional punch it had and huge connection I felt with the music, and American Slang jacked me up (in a good way).

I love TGA, but Elsie was the first album that truly made me think, regarding Brian Fallon as a musician and songwriter, "this man is a fucking professional." Totally back to the gaslight sound we all fell in love with.Elsie hit me right from the get-go and, to this day, I still consider it the best album Brian Fallon has written without question. If that sounds like an allusion to another famous lyric born in. How I’ve missed you/and feeling good to be alive. So it is his struggle between wanting to get back with her and his better sense "I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms I wanna live, I wanna love you a little longer, singer Brian Fallon declares. He says that he tried to get back with her "And I danced with your ghost, Oh, but that ain't the way, I can't move on and I can't stay the same".Īs already stated his "friends" are the 45 records. But then he plays the song again and talks to it. it reminds me of eve 6's open road song, where he pours his heart out to the radio.Īt first he is trying to express his pain "Have you seen my hands? Just look at 'em shake". ![]() It is about being locked in your room singing along to your favorite songs. The song is clearly about him trying to get over a girl. it makes me happy that gaslight is moving away from their american slang sound (which wasn't that great) and back to their senior and the queen sound (which are 4 of the best songs ever). like all the others, but Hammond was knocked flat by the lyrics: Well now if. So i get this emails and was mad i couldn't make the trip to jersey to be in this video. Hammond called Sam Hood, who was running the Gaslight, a tiny club in the.
