[Newman]

You've heard the new single? What? You haven't?... Well, go to our myspace and check it out!

So, you have heard it then, have you?

Well, what do you think about it?

Hey, Nathaniel, what are the lyrics, anyway?

[LWatts]

The lyrics are:
Hello, I believe that it's too late,
I don't know who I am,
I don't know who you are,
I don't know where i'm going.

For you,
I don't owe you anything,
You come with open hands,
I'm the one that extends,
I don't know where I'm going.

"Chanting"

Oh my love,
All love was lost,
When i found out what you had done,
To me.

Hell no, I don't owe you anything,
You come with open hands,
I'm the one that extends,
I don't know where i'm going.

[Grant!]

it's actually "fuck you" and not "for you," but everyone is a pussy

Open hands sounds great guys. Feels like yesterday you were breaking shit and ruining friendships in Pittsburgh. Hope everything is going good. Cant wait to hear the actual CD

Now they're ready to break shit and ruin friendships on a national level.

musically, kind of interesting. chant is most catchy. vocals are strong. didn't know what all the lyrics actually were until today. don't think they really reflect the energy of the music. you say, "I don't know..." But, you DO know. drum fills are often too busy. and that's not typical for you guys. other arrangement elements are nice. organ, guitars and the musical energy shifts. the song wouldn't be as interesting without them. good work on an "ok" song. not your best effort, but, there is always that underlying CCB vibe that gets me... right..... there...ahhhh.....and makes me happy.

I'm really glad you took the time to give it a thorough listen. Not only is your honesty refreshing, but I think you also hit the nail pretty well on the head.

You coming to the NYC with us on the 13th?

[katherine]

yes! and that's not typical for me!

...of course, my "review" was of the single that is available. However, if we're talkin' LIVE... well, this song is AWESOME because it is SO much fun to chant along with the CCB and the whole crowd!! In that regard, i'd have to say "job well done, indeed!"
