Don't forget to vote, Gazza!!!!!

[Gazza]

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.

[Gazza]

Okay. That solves that.

This time it's Never Forget, next time it's Never Make Me Cry on my hit list.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yeah of course I knew that when I typed it. Sorry johnny, I'm a teacher. I just wanna push it through you throat.

I guess it's the buckinghampreacher in me.
