PsychoLamb Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm digging it. He seems to be throwing in a lot more solos in these demos then his previous work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOceanPearl Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Quick stab at lyrics:  What will you find, where will you be? When you gotta trade for company Those plastic guns and infantry For a silent army in the trees Well, this ain't the woods behind the house There ain't nobody screaming out For you to come inside and eat You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed Wore camouflage on Halloween A plastic bag, an M16 Door to door and house to house There ain't nobody handing it out Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems When you're kicking in teeth and wishing in dreams Just plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees  Baby, don't you let me down A world away and still somehow I can't shake the feeling that you're out With another man's arms wrapped tight around you At night it's cold, we sit and freeze Running red lights in our humvees Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be Afraid of little kids playing in the street Well, this ain't the woods behind the house There ain't nobody screaming out For you to come inside and eat You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed  I'm on fire, but all ice on the outside That old man in the sky, well, he's all ice on the outside  A million wail out in the streets We watch the stage, but burn the seats Too many lanes to get along, we ain't got much without one to stand on Sometimes at night, I hear it roll A hundred cars long pulling out slow Like the engineers inside my head Cold and dark like the side of the bed Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems, and even if it is ends justify means With plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees  And I'm on fire, but all ice on the outside That old man in the sky, well, he's all ice on the outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spring90 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Probably my favorite so far as well. Guess he won't be posting any more demos though: Â http://www.matthewgood.org/2008/04/web-30/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOceanPearl Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Hurray for leaving tabs open, made a couple adjustments in the third verse upon listening again: What will you find, where will you be?When you gotta trade for company Those plastic guns and infantry For a silent army in the trees Well, this ain't the woods behind the house There ain't nobody screaming out For you to come inside and eat You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed Wore camouflage on Halloween A plastic bag, an M16 Door to door and house to house There ain't nobody handing it out Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems When you're kicking in teeth and wishing in dreams Just plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees  Baby, don't you let me down A world away and still somehow I can't shake the feeling that you're out With another man's arms wrapped tight around you At night it's cold, we sit and freeze Running red lights in our humvees Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be Afraid of little kids playing in the street Well, this ain't the woods behind the house There ain't nobody screaming out For you to come inside and eat You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed  I'm on fire, but all ice on the outside That old man in the sky, well, he's all ice on the outside  A muted wail out in the streets We watch the stage, but burn the seats Too many lanes to get along, we ain't got much without one to stand on Sometimes at night, I hear it roll A hundred cars long pulling out slow Like the engineers inside my head Cold and dark like your side of the bed Yeah, nothing's ever what it seems, and even if it is ends justify means With plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees  And I'm on fire, but all ice on the outside That old man in the sky, well, he's all ice on the outside Edited April 28, 2008 by AnOceanPearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pismo Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks for the lyrics. If I'm not mistaken that last verse is new. At least I can't recall that I've heard it on any of the live versions of the song that I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheon Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 *sigh* Â Missed another one. Â The new verse looks pretty cool and I'd have liked to hear what he did with the instrumentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomo Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Having not heard this demo, I'm still kind of hoping that maybe there's some kind of b-side acoustic version of Silent Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomo Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Sheesh I'm surprised that comment is still there. Â Honestly I don't even think I want to listen to it. I feel like I don't want to ruin a potential surprise. Â It'll be 20 times more awesome if I wait. I've learned this after feeling like Hospital Music was less cool after hearing the streamed songs on the site. I will show restraint, despite the fact that I effing love Silent Army in the Trees! Â Kinda funny how everyone went in that link and cursed the guy out though...haha. Â PS: Hospital Music was and is still awesome, just slightly less of awesome upon its release since I had already heard it.

noise_pollution Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I agree. The live version just had 'soul' that the 'studio' version lacks is is still great though and still just a demo. But oh well maybe it will grow on me...not I downloaded it or anything...(pulls collar).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
