Well, I guess that beats having the rest of Chris's songs voted out, if this conspiracy against "Never Forget" succeeds. Then Stevie's songs after that. And who knows when poor "Sara" will meet her untimely fate and drownD, in the sea of bad musical tastes. ;)

Who owns this damn album anyway? :laugh:

I actually kinda regret voting for it now...it must be a very special song, if it's gone through so much already and always managed to survive.

I don't mind if oyu think it's a compliment though :xoxo: :lol:

I think it has to do with the fact that Sara was the first to go in the first Tusk survivor. Poeple want it to stay a while.

Of course, SAVE ME A PLACE!

Yes, Save Me A Place survived by ONE vote. So technically you could say that! It was very dramatic, in a Fleetwood-Mac-Survivor-geek kind of way... sodascouts and I were on the edge of our seats.

Just get rid of all of McVie's and Nick's songs and you have a great Lindsey album :)

Gazza 09-02-2004 01:32 PM

Okay, which song is the best to vote for to save Save Me A Place? :)

We have to be tactical here. I'd just get rid of all the Christine songs first if I wasn't.

Someone else could easily say...How anyone could think never forget is crap is beyond me....It's a shame everyone guns for the beautiful, subtle, songs and defends Lindsey songs...believe me, i love some of Lindsey's "interesting" songs on Tusk, I just don't enjoy listening to SMAP - to me, the "interesting" he tried to do on this one didn't turn out very musically compelling...lyrically, it's ok...but musically I think he accomplished something better on other similar songs....

I'm totally in your corner where "That's All For Everyone," "That's Enough For Me," "Walk A Thin Line," "The Ledge" and "Not That Funny" are concerned. Those are all incredible and interesting songs, that deserve to stay and fight to the very end.

It's just that I don't think "Save Me A Place" is all that interesting. :sorry:

I don't mind the simplicity of the lyrics... it's not about that at all. I think he very effectively gets his point across with few words.
It's the thumping, plodding tempo that kills it dead in its tracks for me.

"That's All For Everyone" is the song I feel is most deserving of all of our praise, and the song that deserved a battle to save it from elimination.
Instead, it was unfairly sacrificed. :(

"TAFE" so beautifully conveys the genius of Lindsey's 'Tusk' mindset and approach, while "SMAP" falls on its face.

This is all, of course, only my opinion. But, for me, "TAFE" succeeds in all the places "SMAP" fails. :shrug:

Please johnny, put it on and:

1. concentrate on the bassline. It adds a great counterpart to the drifting melodyline.
2. The "moaning" ,irritating tempo is purely used for the also "out of focus" backing vocals (they never start or end in sync.)
3. Think about this: The song really is never in a beat. It's contrasting everywhere.

I can understand that people think that all is irritating, but if you closely listen to what he's doing there the songs' depth can open itself for you.

Not that I think that will happen to you, but it happened to me that way. I hated it at first (in 1979), too.

By 81 I was addicted :lol:

Trust me, Gerald, I have given that song so many chances over the years.
I want to like it... I really do. But I don't. :(

And it's not that I find it irritating in any way... my first impression of Lindsey's 'Tusk' songs was that they were all just a discordant mess. But then, I was struck by what Lindsey was trying to get across... that exuberant and carefree spirit of an abstract painting.

It's just that "Save Me A Place" commits the ultimate musical sin for me: It bores me. :sorry: :distress:

Part of the fun is arguing about what is crap and what isn't! lol

Plus I think SMAP is beautiful and subtle, much more so than the sappy Never Forget (which I'd just like to add I quite enjoy). At least Johnny Stew just says it doesn't do it for him, but to say it's crap is something else altogether.
And don't dismiss "interesting" either. The reason Tusk is a masterpiece is because it's musically diverse and, yes, interesting.
But this of course is just my opinion :)

I didn't mean to dismiss "interesting". But i just don't think SMAP is incredibly interesting. I think some of his cali-pop songs are more musically complex. And part of the reason TUSK is diverse is the other singer/songwriters. And although I love many of LIndsey's songs on TUSK, to me, they sound similar to each other. Like, I think, if only lindsey's songs were on there, the album would have been interesting, but not diverse...if you can understand what i mean. I'm glad you think smap is beautiful and subtle. I find it hard to appreciate as much as some other songs with a more pleasing melodic sound. I don't think smap is crap, either, but just as you were with the other post I quoted, we're all trying to make a point in favor of whatever we like. I'm glad people like a bunch of different songs, otherwise there wouldn't be millions o' billions o' fans, and we all wouldn't have gotten to see the concerts or be here talking about FMAC. But there ARE many different points of view, so...uh...what was I talking about? :lol: :p

Actually, it's not that personal, but i will admit i like to argue... :lol: Only time I take it personal is when someone says "Amber, you're a raging, ugly bizatch and i hope you die!" or when someone ascribes emotions to me that i don't have.... :)

I know what you mean ghost. I don't really take it personally either but there are certain songs I adore. SMAP isn't one of them, but Brown Eyes, Sisters of the Moon and What Makes You Think are near and dear to me.
