Harmonium - lyrics, riffs, and Pharrel Williams questions
« on: October 02, 2004, 09:26:19 am »
I just have a few things to see what you guys think from certain things about Harmonium. First of all, from Private Radio, does anyone think that "a solitude" could be "a solid tune"? I thought it was a possibility, but I think I still hear "solitude". Also, I saw lyrics online, and they said, "Catch me not care, call me later", but I thought I heard, "Catch me knocking, call me later". What do you guys think?

I was also wondering what you guys think the riff she first wrote for A Thousand Miles (or Interlude) is, or where it's at on Hamronium. She said she worked on it forever, and that its on there when she did the Star Lounge interview. I was thinking it could be in Annie. If it is on there at all.

My last question. On the Star Lounge interview, she said Pharrel Williams did some back background. I haven't caught his vocals, so where do you guys think they are in Harmonium?

That's it. Harmonium is awesome, and I can't wait to buy the CD and watch the DVD. And for anyone who likes Michelle Branch, she is a little page of pictures of her in the new Entertainment Weekly with Sarah Michelle Gellar on the front, and it talks about her recording, and has Jessica Harp with her.

c´est la vie has similar notes :/ b-d-c-f#-b-b-a#-b-f#....

when she plays WH live (in B) she uses almost the same 1000  miles riff

but,I never hear about her saying she was using the same riff or whatever lol

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with how Nessa used her guests... lol that sounds funny. What I mean is, you can barely hear Pharrell, Lindsay Buckingham's guitar played a minimal part in WH, no one knows where Stevie Nicks is... Jeez.

On Who's To Say, the line "And who's to say, that we won't fade today," I think it's really "And who's to say, that we won't fade to grey."  Listen to it live, and it's easier to understand.
