Northern Star

Hawkeye · #1 04-03-2005, 02:12 AM

When I first got In the Meantime I only really liked about 4 songs a lot and Northern Star wasn't one of those. But now 6 months later I just listened to it again and I don't why but OMG is it an amazing song. It's so freaking great one of her best songs EVER and by far the best on the album. Everyone seems to love Calumny but I think it sucks compared to the wonderful Norhtern Star. Does anyone else really love this song.

Northern Star is my favorite song on ITM.

i'm amazed that you insist on this album for so long. i gave up on it after 10 times or so.

Good for you, Homer.

I also love "Northern Star", although I'm one of those who loves "Calumny" more. Christine's vocals are FANTASTIC on both of these songs. Dan Perfect is a great song writer too. I wonder if he has written any more like these 2 terrific songs.

I hope so, and certainly hopes she chooses to do another project in a year or two. Those two songs are my favorite two on the album.

Tommer, you can't just talk ABOUT Chris in her forum, your opinions on her, and such, you HAVE to say something good. I know it says it's a Chris forum, which implies you can talk about her, but it's under a new regime now, and that just isn't the case. Hope this little tip helped you out.

Oh, by the way, I haven't heard any In the Meantime songs at all.

Oh, no, not the bun! In a cruel twist of fate, I have now been bunned.

everyone dislikes Bad Journey, but this is my fav as it's a low voice for her

Yeah, but in all the other forums, when someone says something unflattering about that particular member, no one asks them why they're on the forum.

Double standard!

Anyway, I didn't take it that it to mean that Tommer just hated Christine just because he didn't like In the Meantime, anyway.

Anyway, I'm fond of "Northern Star," but I think my favorite song on that album is "Forgiveness," closely followed by "Friend."

"forgiveness" is my favourite too, but in terms of "northern star" it was definitely one of those ones that grew on me. i wasn't a fan at first, but i remember listening to it about a month after having ITM and it was like i was hearing a different song!

i know i'm going to be in the minority here, but really the only song i dislike on ITM is "so sincere". yes, it's sacreligious, and i am thoroughly ashamed!!

macfan 57 · #15 04-04-2005, 06:15 AM

I LOVE "Forgiveness" too. I love how the song changes near the end. It's one of my favorites, just after "Calumny" & "Friend". "Givin' It Back" is another favorite of mine. Nobody hardly ever mentions that song. I love the lyrics. I believe she wrote them about her brother/family. I don't dislike any song on the album. But my least favorite songs are "Easy Come Easy Go" & believe it or not, "So Sincere".
