[Iguana]

@Ag may want to take a 6 minute 30 piss break here

 

[Soldi]

I feel like LILY is going to be my big takeaway of the evening!

 

[Iguana]

No. We really ARE saving that for a Tuesday.

*kicks off*

 

[lolly]

Do THE DREAMING YOU COWARDS

I've already said I'm in favour of doing ALL of them. And The Dreaming needs primetime!

 

[octophone]

This version of "This Woman's Work" is turgid. The electric piano sound is horrible for a start with that ghastly panning effect.

 

[octophone]

The Dreaming needs primetime!

Bloody right it does.

 

[Iguana]

This version of "This Woman's Work" is turgid. The electric piano sound is horrible for a start with that ghastly panning effect.

I have the same sample she's using on my keyboard. See also Tori's Rattlesnakes.

 

[lolly]

It's a sample? I thought it was Bertie on his Fisher Price music box.

 

[ButterTart]

Sorry Kate, love. Don't like this version AT ALL. This Woman's Work was so sparse and understated anyway, there was nothing that needed to be updated.

 

[Iguana]

For all you Bertie fans, that's him and a friend on choral backing box

 

[Soldi]

This version does GO ON A BIT, losses it’s spark a little as it doesn’t feel as RAW and REAL with all the TINGLY bits in the background.

 

[octophone]

This is the kind of version someone would do on "Later..." and Facebook would be full of crying emojis but it's actually a bit duff.

 

[lolly]

Sorry everyone, I proper LOVE this version as well. Obviously I didn't at the time of release, though. I mean, WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

 

[Iguana]

It's a sample? I thought it was Bertie on his Fisher Price music box.

I mean an instrument sample as opposed to a song sample. But it might as well be!

 

[Iguana]

I do feel this version is much more "Hey this is a sad song!" than the original which is more subtle

 

[ButterTart]

This one's lost the flow of the original. It just feels too empty for the subject matter, it doesn't feel conflicted.

[ButterTart]

I'm now a bit worried about Moments of Pleasure.

 

[GNL]

I think it's nice and TWINKLY and DELICATE. Good for a wintry day.

05 Deeper Understanding
08 The Red Shoes
04 This Woman’s Work

Going by that, I think we need to get you into the The Red Shoes album!

 

[ButterTart]

I'm now a bit worried about Moments of Pleasure.

Take that back, her old woman voice really suits this.

 

[Iguana]

I'm now a bit worried about Moments of Pleasure.

It's basically a completely different song, even more than Flower of the Mountain I'd say

 

[octophone]

It just feels too empty for the subject matter, it doesn't feel conflicted.

It lacks the urgency. It feels like a reflection on a quiet night 20 years later rather than being in the moment.

 

[Soldi]

Going by that, I think we need to get you into the The Red Shoes album!

Well if Moopy Secret Santa is a THING

 

[octophone]

Well if Moopy Secret Santa is a THING

It hasn't before but, hey...

 

[octophone]

Imma turn in, lovers. I'll do the rest of this tomorrow night.

 

[ButterTart]

It lacks the urgency. It feels like a reflection on a quiet night 20 years later rather than being in the moment.

Exactly what I was incoherently attempting to say. It didn't feel like a tortured stream of doubts and fears the way the original did.

 

[lolly]

DON'T FORGET THE MOOPY LINK

 

[Iguana]

Well if Moopy Secret Santa is a THING

I have like 4 copies of it already, just send me your address, date of birth and bank details and I'll pop it in the post!

 

[Soldi]

I’ve been listening to this on the LOO and it’s adds a lot I must say

 

[GNL]

This is one of my favourite songs she's written. Beautiful lyrics. I find it very affecting.

 

[lolly]

I'm going to keep listening, but I've got a couple of plants I need to pot before it's dark so will disappear for a bit.

 

[Iguana]

This is one of my favourite songs she's written. Beautiful lyrics. I find it very affecting.

The little reference to her mother is quite devastating

 

[ButterTart]

I'm really enjoying this version, actually. Much more mournful.

 

[lolly]

This is one of my favourite songs she's written. Beautiful lyrics. I find it very affecting.

It's on my list of possible funeral songs. I'm probably favouring Both Sides Now, though.

Mind you, if I go before Mr L I know full well that cunt will give me I Have A Dream.

 

[Iguana]

I like that she just CUTS OFF two people in the 'in memorium' section and said it's because she played too little piano to fit them in....sure Kate it's not like you're a perfectionist or anything
