with demon....GYOW has a terrific opening line!!
ISA - "I've been alone, all the years, so many ways to count the tears..." It prepares you for the sadness to come in the rest of the song....esp. the solo.
Oh Well - "Can't help it, bout the shape I'm in, I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin..." Well, how frickin sad is that, ZERO self-esteem.
Bare Trees - "Bare trees, grey light, oh yeah, it was a cold night.." You can see the cold, dreary night, the bare, dead trees...great imagery.
There are just tons of great opening lines...too many!! This band's history is frickin amazing with all the various singers/songwriters and their different personalities. AWESOME!
