This isn't over, baby - don't believe a word they said. But then she takes a moment to ponder; To wonder what could have been, given another chance; To find a light in the darkness and way out of this. If only she could see what I can see. She takes a moment to stumble to her feet. If only I was there to hold her hand; If only she saw what I saw, she'd get out of this one; She'd get out of here. What burns the most is that you lied right to my face, And still I hold your hand to set you free. What burns the most is that you lied right to my face, And still I hold your hand to set you free; To set you free. With eyes closed, her heart breaks, And through it all she brought this on herself, on herself. With eyes closed, her heart breaks, And through it all she brought this on herself, on herself. For me, for you, the fallen; Save her for us, for them, for good; Save her for me, for you, the fallen; Save her for us, for them, for good; Save her for me. She falls, she falls, she falls. (She falls beside me.) She falls, she falls, she falls. (She falls beside me.) She falls, she falls. (She falls beside me.) She falls beside me. (She falls beside me.) (She falls beside us.) She falls, she falls. (She falls beside me.) She falls, she falls. (She falls beside me.) She falls. This song's for you. With eyes closed, her heart breaks, And through it all she brought this on herself, on herself. With eyes closed, her heart breaks, And through it all she brought this on herself, on herself. |

Indeed. Their music, while still being great listening, seems a lot more generic on this album. My favourite things about Crisis were how quickly the "feel" of the songs would bounce around and, as you pointed out, the juxtaposition of the vocals. I'd say that George's new style is just as good as his old screams, even if it's wildly different, but in my opinion, the song writing has deteriorated. The songs on Old Crows / Young Cardinals seem to lack the passion, and personal touch, that Crisis and the self-titled album had. However, this may be down to the fact that I've not started to read between the lines of the lyrics yet. I have to agree when you say that their worst is better than other bands' best, I just wish that they'd put more effort into the song writing. Hopefully they're not going to follow the path of other bands who enter the mainstream, such as In Flames. On another note, I wonder if George is going to keep the new vocal style for the older Alexisonfire songs at this year's Eastpak Antidote Tour. It would be really interesting to see him singing Rough Hands in his recent vocal style. (I assume he changed vocal style not only to appeal to a greater audience, but to protect his throat. I'm sure he'd struggle to pull off the entire tour if he has to mix the two styles at every gig they play.) Ah well, I guess we'll find out soon enough. -Brendan |
