What are you listening to?

I just can't seem to stop listening to this in these wee hours of a new day....

 

 

And all political commentary aside.... the vocal version of this incredible piece of music...
 

 

[Canuck Surfer]

Spoiler alert, swearing.

 

Sex, drugs & rock N roll, from a backyard somewhere in Glen Waverley

 

 

Love the end, like Jake scoring a goal; that's a good one?

Got introduced to this tune a few weeks ago.. thought "meh its good ish".

 

Had a listen while high af and it slaps different. Think it's the jittery beat that moves you differently when you're high (if that makes sense)

 

[D-Money]

Going to Bahamas concert on Thursday here in Calgary…

 

 

His recent 2 albums are pretty ‘meh’, but Barchords was phenomenal.

Wow she's really getting good at the Guitar. 

Great voice, and drop dead gorgeous.

Seeing that:

1. This is still a hockey board of sorts

2. There has to be some levity sometimes

3. The Canucks are playing as badly as most have ever seen.

 

And so, with deepest apologies to the Rolling Stones and there rendition of Faraway Eyes, with an alt-Faraway Eyes

 

Pro Tip: Start the video and follow along with the new lyrics.

 

I was driving, early one Sunday morning through Burnaby

Listen to hockey talk on the local radio station

And the preacher said, you know you always have Aquilini at your side

And I was so pleased to be informed of this

That I ran twenty red lights in his honour

Thank you Benning, Thank you Green

 

I had an arrangement, to meet a scout, and I was kind late

And I thought by the time I got there, he’d be off

He’d be off with the nearest Judd Bracket he could find

Much to my surprise, there he was, sitting the corner

A little bleary, worse for wear and tear

Was a scout with faraway eyes.

 

So if you’re down on your luck

And you can’t harmonize

Find a scout with faraway eyes

And you’re downright disgusted

With losing all the time

Get a scout, with faraway eyes.

 

Well the preacher said all I had to do was to send

Ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Clan of the Holy Aqilinis

Located in somewhere downtown Vancouver

And the next week, Francesco would tweet out his thanks

And all my dreams would come true,

So did and the next week, I got a prayer for the scout,

Well you know what kind of eyes he got

 

So if you’re down on your luck

And you can’t harmonize

Find a scout with faraway eyes

And you’re downright disgusted

With losing all the time

Get a scout, with faraway eyes.

Is there anything this band can't do? They can even knock a ballad out of the park. The acoustics, the subdued drumming, the bass is seamless. 

Even the harmony of the vocals blend perfectly. Bravo!

 

I'm curious to see what Band-Maid unplugged would be like? 

[Canuck Surfer]

Crazy chester followed me?

 

And he caught me in my fog...

This is also quite good. It is fairly close in sound to the "regular" version.

 

 

The acoustic version of Puzzle (also Saiki and Kanami only) is a lot better than the full band, rock version, which is a ripper. Sadly, it is harder to find than the acoustic rendition of Anemone, but it does make appearances in various "reaction" vids (as we've previously looked at a couple of pages back). The Julia Nilon page is perhaps the best discussion vid on that particular song, or discussion of the merits of the vocals.

 

Ah heck, why not....

The closest thing I've found to the entire band being "unplugged" (small amp for Misa's bass, and the acoustic guitars plugged into the mic/line system) is this video for a concert they did way back when in 2014. Saiki would have a tender throat at this point, which affected her range (it's kind of notable in Thrill @15:57). Miku was still in her very early stage of learning the guitar.

The concert it points to is this one (for those who have already seen it):
