Ok I posted this over at Buckingham Nicks too but thought I'd give it a go with this crowd:
Ok, this is my running order for the "unreleased lindsey cd" which i've titled "Paused Motion" in my itunes.
Yes, I know, I'm being impatient but,
*breaks into song: "I can't wait, I can't waaaaaiiiit!"*
Seriously what type of title do you foresee Lindsey stamping on it? Do you think he'll keep the title Gift of Screws or something new?
Whatever he calls it, I think the title will highlight the "reconciliation of opposites" he seems to like speaking of since the family transpired. An oxymoron of sorts if you will. That way the new happy songs act as a foil to the "gift of screws" material that in large part seems to address the personal things/views that were lost/sacrificed to the greater good of the many. I kind of think Lindsey's philosophy for the gift of screws title is similar; Gifts are positive gestures of appreciation, while the idea that you would give a gift screws is not. So that could be perceived as carrying the "reconciliation of opposites" stigma. Or in another context, to be able to perceive getting "screwed"( i.e. getting short changed) as a gift takes quite a bit of personal growth.
So what kind of title do you see suiting the possible new cd? And give us the philosophy behind it. I think this could be fun.
For the interested, this is my itunes playlist order for the songs that were gonna be "gift of screws" that I'd like to see on a possible new release by LB. I include Shut us Down because I think it will "strengthen the continuity" (that Lindsey so lovingly likes to speak of) with his new happy material.
Someone's gotta change your mind
Down on Rodeo
Shuffle Riff
twist of fate

try for the son (empowering song to transition into the "newer material" to follow)
