New video posted on Lindsey's web site talking about each track on Seeds We Sow. I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing, but there is footage of him playing with his band in his studio and also some backstage footage with his family. I'll have to wait to listen to the whole thing later tonight but wanted to let everyone know it's out there, looks interesting!

New (!) track-by-track vid on LB website
 

thanks!

mods - can you guys delete similar thread that i simultaneously created?

Updated Video?
 

Unless they have updated the video, this thread was posted back in September:

This video merely reinforces my opinion that he could have played a solo acoustic gig over this side of the pond.....

no, it's new (or more accurately filmed at the same time but never posted before). it's real track-by-track. the one that came out in september was named wrong.

.......and we would have loved it! :thumbsup:

That still image of Lindsey just showing the tip of his nose down is very youthful looking.

so should we read any meaning into the timing of this video being released?

I kinda wished he had acknowledged that he just retooled Stars Are Crazy, gave a bit more of the back story. I'd like to hear it from him, how that whole scenario went down, why he wanted to use the song. It was just a quick sum up of what the song was about.. which is odd to me considering he didn't fully write it. I know he added his own lyrics and that everyone has their own interpretation of lyrics, just wish he'd given us a little more.

yeah i thought that was a bit strange too. he did talk about the fact it's a co-write and that it was Lisa Dewey's song when he talked about SAC on the Small Machine DVD.

Ohh.. One Take would have rocked bigtime live.....

I KNOW!! one of my favorite parts of the video! i always wondered how that rapping would sound live, plus they all obviously enjoyed doing the song. they should do another leg and include One Take!

Thank you, Mr. Buckingham for this gift! I really enjoyed the back story for these songs. I hope you can get back on the road soon so we can hear these treasures.:nod:

He talked about Process of Illumination, but most of the other songs on the album are about what happens when people are forced to tell the truth as well. When it is exposed. The album seems to be about the fallout. The disillusion and shock.

Michele

Will's very concerned with his hair. Michele

Didn't like his interpretation of "save me" in Gone Too Far. He says, it's like "save the memory of me," preserve my essence, but I like thinking it means rescue me, spare me. Help me.

Michele

Better late than never? :confused:

:laugh: But he did say someone might have been coerced into telling the truth. :laugh:

Oh, I enjoyed the explanations but it's still mostly Lindsey-speak. Great stuff! I have to say I love that he said "knee-jerk".

:lol::lol::lol:

Did you notice that he said that there was very little that could get him to walk away from what he has? You'd think, at this point in his life, he'd say there was NOTHING that could make him leave, but there is just "very little." Wonder how little it is.

Michele

Indeed. I thought he was a bit self-righteous there. Reminds me of his "I watched a lot of my friends" speech - how all of his friends screwed up with their kids and he's bigger than that. Seriously, why does he think he's so different than other people who have good intentions when they start a family and then life just happens and everything gets messed up? Don't ride too high on that pony...

Then again, a lot of those friends (or at least peers) never tried to be good fathers in the first place. I'm not talking about Mick F. I'm thinking of things I've read about people like David Crosby or Warren Zevon. I was reading one book on Crosby where they said even Mick Jagger was concerned about Crosby's kids and was trying to get someone to take care of them. That really made me laugh, when you're so bad off that you're bringing out Jagger's maternal streak . . .

Michele

Oh wow! Yeah that's pretty bad.

But, I'm not really talking about the situations you're in control of. I mean - what if your mate decides they want out or you just wake up one day and discover you have nothing in common but your kids. As much as you want to believe that you are in a committed relationship forever, tomorrow something could happen that could change everything and end up just proving you wrong.

things are never absolute. i thought what he said meant you need to work on relationships and it's never ideal but what you have is so much that it's worth working through any problems and not giving up - he does say this when describing songs that seem to talk about problems.

again, as i attempted to bring up in the other thread, i really think that TTWTLG is more about his current relationship than any of the other songs he says are about his wife. even though he never said that explicitly.

I just watched the video and thought the EXACT same thing....made me wonder what those few things are that WOULD make him walk away... he seems very hung up on betrayal, maybe he's thinking, I wouldn't walk away unless she screwed me over or some such...?

Interesting, though not at all unusual, that he basically says that it's the kids that make him work harder at making the marriage work.... Always makes me wonder when people say that if they are intimating that had the kids not been there the marriage could have/would have gone off the rails already....

But the way he phrased it, I did get the impression that he was talking about what he could control, where the choice of whether to leave or return would be up to him and not the other party.

Of course, I never want him in a situation where he feels he can't walk away from bad conditions. I never want him feeling trapped in FM or in a marriage, because that opens the door for other people to take advantage and to abuse the power they think they have.

So, I have no objection to his phrasing. I just thought it curious.

Michele

Actually Elle, I did hear him say it once, that TTWTLG is about Kristen. I know I do this all the time to you - lol, where I seemingly imagine a memory :rolleyes: but I know he said it! I'm sure of it :thumbsup:

Well said :nod: I think that's it exactly. Yeah, it sounded a little odd, but I didn't take it to mean he was leaving himself an out, or something. He's committed. Sometimes I think he just overthinks and gets more wordy than he means to.

Well, it makes sense in the way it's written: "Save me, it's gone too far." I think of someone crying out for a loved one to rescue them from the world.

Of course, I've never felt the need for my essence to be preserved, that's not my reality. :laugh:

really? that's cool. i don't remember him ever saying TTWTLG is about somebody specific. but you can't remember where was that?

he does always talk about IOOT being about Kristen, and to me that's not nearly as obvious as TTWTLG. and WSCD.

I don't remember him saying that.

Now, don't you start with me :p I know I've done this before, but I know he said it. It was brief, but he did say it. Big Morning Buzz, maybe? :confused: Geez, I'll find it.

Sorry! I just usually remember when he says something as specific as that! :D

Let us know if you find it!!

no, not BMB. i know that one, i cut and re-cut it bunch of times till i managed to get it down to the right size.:laugh:

yeah i definitely never heard it - b/c i was specifically waiting to hear that as a confirmation of my song interpretation.

for now, the fact that there's a lot of Kristen in that part of vid, i'm taking that as a confirmation that i'm right.:p

I enjoyed this video. My favorite part was seeing him play the songs either alone or with the band in his studio. Man, that was some great stuff! I appreciate when artists open up about each of their songs, and even though LB still has a very vague/ambiguous way of describing things at times...I can dig it. I personally think that sometimes it can be hard for him to explain his songs because:

a) they're even more personal than he let's on
b) he's so in-tuned and focused when he writes/records them that has to really stretch to put that into words

Anyway, I do love what he said about many of the songs. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I almost never go on LB's official site, sadly, and glad this was posted here. :nod:

Why? I mean - I'd like to know your interpretation.

I like the way he explained the other part though.

When the false props you've used to get you somewhere, leave you alone at the end, then you need saving.

But actually, what I like about the song is that I imagine that he's talking about someone else and looking at their sadness and he's the one asking to be saved from it. It's like the verses are talking about someone else's pain and then in the chorus, he's asking to be saved from it. That gets to me. That and the vulnerability in his voice.

Michele

Totally agree.:nod:

I will CAD :) You guys will be the first to know!

Elle, I know you're right. Maybe it was in a print interview, if not BMB...Hmmm.

may be completely wrong or stupid, but that's how it struck me when i first heard the words.:shrug:
