Fleetwood Mac tricked me!

[EricBliss12345]

I listened to Say You Will all night with headphones on, and the song that spoke to me the most was Peacekeeper, so I played it a good 7 or more times. What made the song for me was the beautiful little panflute part in the chorus.

Here's where I got tricked.

My family woke up so I played it through the stereo. There's no panflute part, but It's some nasally distorted vocal effect. I don't know how I heard the pretty little panflute part with the headphones, but I liked it much better when I heard it as a panflute. I don't like it as much this way. Now I bet that even when I play it through the headphones I'm not going to hear the panflute anymore now that I know better. Blast.


Sorry for the insignificant, stupid post.

While I'm at it I'd like to mention that they tricked me three more times on the disc.

On Say You Will, somebody yells something like "HEY!" about a minute into the song. The first time I heard it I almost fell backwards out of my seat. Whenever I blare music in the headphones my mom always screams at the top of her lungs to get my attention and scares the piss out of me. The next couple times I listened to the song it did the same thing to me. Even on the third time I threw off the headphones and almost yelled back. You know how when you're in your own little world blasting your headphones and somebody screams loud enough to get your attention how devastatingly frightening it is? It sucked!

Why all this trickery on the new CD hmm? On Red Rover they almost trick you into thinking that guitar is a keyboard. I don't like when people play tricks.

Remember the little shout during the intro of "Empire State"? Just another one of those little blips that occur in the studio that Fleetwood Mac sometimes leave in the final track because you get a little off-kilter shot of energy from them.

I think Sisters of the Moon has that type of blip of voices in the very beginning. I kind of like it when they do that - I just listen over and over until I think I understand it - then someone here usually corrects me

One thing that I never noticed is on Miranda...

It's a really cool song to listen to with the balance on just one side. Listen to it with the sound only playing in the right speaker. Not only can you hear Stevie singing parts by herself (during the alternating parts during the verses), but I NEVER noticed that right after choruses, during Lindsey's guitar solos, he's also doing some weird kind of groaning thing...I never heard it before I listened to the song in just the right speaker.

I was just going to post that. Lindsey says "Stevie" at the begining of SOTM like he is trying to get her attention. On Led Zep's Whole Lotta Love, someone coughs at the begining of the take. During the Beach Boys Surfer Girl, someone coughs in the middle of the song. During Edge of Seventeen, Stevie's voice cuts out when she sings "my love." They could have left it out but left it in instead. I don't think it's necessarily trickery but why they would leave coughing on a take is a mystery. Maybe taking it out would compromise the recording somehow?

I am listening to SYW and I am not hearing someone shout anything at all.

Let's not forget that Lindsey says "F*ck..." right in the beginning of The Chain.

No way! And they sell this at Wal Mart? Seriously I never noticed that before.

Yeah there's another one! I like stuff like this but that thing on Say You Will just kinda took me by surprise. It's not as noticable on the speakers though. Maybe something's wrong with my headphones.

Me either. Could you delete your reply already?

If you turn your speakers up as loud as they go, play the song right in the beginning. A split second before the music kicks in, you can hear him say it.

Unless it's 'four' - as in 'one, two, three, four..'

But yeah - it sure sounds like the expletive!

But then so does this bit at the end of When I See You Again...

[wondergirl9847]

I think it's "four", not the F word, but that's just me.

Note to self: Go listen intently to all FM albums to hear all this weird stuff.

I don't know...

I definitely hear the ck on that one
