Description:
This is the first release of The Ends.
Lyrics:
She plants a seed within my soul
Where inspiration fondly grows
And I, and I, just wait to taste it
There's always one place I can go
When the past few hours have taken toll
And I, and I, can't wait to play it
When Katie plays I know my place
Rivers run with melodies
And everything else just fades into irrelevance
And even with the aftermaths
As all the tired dramas pass
When Katie plays well they all fade
And I know everything will be ok again
I found a song upon my pillow
Through the wires and into my head
Insomnia never felt so good
I found myself in another dimention
words too soft to the touch to mention
I know, I know this is where I should be
When Katie plays I know my place
Rivers run with melodies
And everything else just fades into irrelevance
And even with the aftermaths
As all the tired dramas pass
When Katie plays well they all fade
And I know everything will be ok again

A perfect song &mdash 07/25/05 - 11:11:09 AM
I'm afraid words fail me. I love this song to bits, it's quite simply perfect. The composition, singing, instrumentals and harmonics are all perfect as far as I'm concerned and this group have just aquired a new fan. I really hope to hear more from them. [ Reply to This ]
distracting effects on the vocals? &mdash 07/25/05 - 11:43:44 AM
The only gripe I have about this song is the flange or phase
effect on the vocals. It makes your sweet voice sound a bit
mechanical - a warmer sound would have been much more
comforting.
Otherwise GREAT SONG! [ Reply to This ]
Great song &mdash 07/25/05 - 03:03:25 PM
I love this song.
Everythinh is perfect, but i agree with cbuchner about the
effect on the vocals. [ Reply to This ]
Great voice &mdash 07/25/05 - 09:12:48 PM
So I'll echo everyone elses comments and say lay off the
flange. Nice elements. Would love to hear something like
this just completely stripped down with like an accoustic
and just some percussion. Great song you could probably
do a bunch of different ways. Thanks for posting it. [ Reply to This ]
Excellent &mdash 07/26/05 - 05:31:51 AM
Really enjoyed this song. Great lyrics, great singing and nice
mix of intsruments. (The ooohs/aaaahs sound great)
Is that Fairy Beth singing? [ Reply to This ]
ooh ooh ooh... &mdash 07/26/05 - 07:59:01 AM
Macjams supergroup. This is wonderful. Can I just say the
arrangement here is out of this world? That organ figure...
those distant backing vocals. Brilliant.
There's a sort of phasey wash about the track that sounds
a bit like when I chose that funny EQ on the master track.
God I'm so technical, aren't I? But I think that it might be
better to lose that effect and allow the sound to come
through more directly.. may be way off here... but. Help
me out somebody.

Beth? &mdash 07/26/05 - 08:52:20 AM
Is that you Fairy Beth?
I'd love to know who else is in this Supergroup
Dl/9s! [ Reply to This ]
great stuff &mdash 07/26/05 - 03:34:49 PM
I, too, hear the voice of FB. I can't identify any other
member's playing but whoever they are they're really good. I
really like the poetic lyrics. Excellent. Now let's get you that
proper mic/preamp.
Whoever you all are, great tune. [ Reply to This ]
Nice one &mdash 07/26/05 - 03:53:11 PM
Lovely voice, great song. I wish you all the very best
with this project. [ Reply to This ]
Nice and smooth &mdash 07/26/05 - 08:17:15 PM
Good, easy listen. Really great vocals. Excellent. Hope we
hear a lot more like this. [ Reply to This ]
gentle &mdash 07/26/05 - 09:38:56 PM
this is a great gentle song, one you can listen to over and over
again. i like it! everything sounds great (although i do agree
with everyone else that the vocals would be great without the
flange effect). nicely done! [ Reply to This ]
sounds nice &mdash 07/28/05 - 08:31:08 PM
This sure sounds like FB. I know that was mentioned before.
But the voice sounds identical. I sure would be suprised if it
wasn't.
The tune sounds very nice.
Thanks for sharing [ Reply to This ]
Great lyrics . . . . .etc! &mdash 07/29/05 - 02:36:13 AM
What a nice song! Great voice (must be FB!), with
everything really fitting nicely together. Would love to
hear the original GB file with maybe someone working on
the slight hiss on the vocal.
Nothing more to say . . . . . love it! [ Reply to This ]
i'd know that voice anywhere! &mdash 07/29/05 - 03:01:33 AM
whatever it is that you're doing fairy beth - keep doing it with those people!! lovely job girl - thank you x [ Reply to This ]
the means... &mdash 07/30/05 - 12:09:48 AM
justify the ends. brilliant lyrics beautifully sung. The
melody is simply perfect. great collab. can't wait for your
second release. i'm curious about the band members but
at the same time i think i'd rather not ever know. it's kinda
cooler that way. thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of
art! [ Reply to This ]
Nice &mdash 07/30/05 - 09:35:00 AM
The title caught my eye &mdash 07/30/05 - 06:53:28 PM
I've a daughter named Katie- The song caught my ear and
captivated me... totally. Beautiful effort, perfectly
executed... you know, except for the flange thing ;)
Keep 'em coming!

Just ruminating &mdash 07/30/05 - 11:26:09 PM
The singer reminds me of one of my pet peeves. In songs
like these, clearly the lyrics are pretty important. I mean,
the arrangement is nice, but would be nothing without the
vocals.
So why is it so fashionable among certain vocalists (a
friend played me some Shawn Colvin the other day) to slur
these lyrics so much? If your message is so important,
please enunciate it clearly.
Just getting that off my chest.
It's not all that bad in this song; I've heard far worse, but
it's enough to trigger my 'pet peeve' button.
Other than that: solid arrangement, very sweet voice and
completely in tune; in all a pleasure to listen to. [ Reply to This ]
Just ruminating &mdash 07/31/05 - 12:24:59 PM
Hey vic...thanks for listening and commenting. I was going to try and justify
the slurring you mentioned, but then I listened to the song to try and see
what you meant, and actually, to be honest, I really dont think I slurred the
lyrics at all. I think its really quite easy to hear the words im singing, and
when im singing my songs, i always sing with emotion and meaning as i
always write from the heart and therefore connect with the lyrics very much
as i sing. Anyway, I hope you can understand what im trying to say, im not
very good at explaining myself usually. thanks again for your comments and
im glad u enjoyed the song overall...i just wanted to put in my 2 cents. [ Reply to This ]
Just ruminating &mdash 07/31/05 - 08:02:54 PM
Hey, I've listened again, and I think I should have spared you my thinking aloud.
You do indeed sing very clear. There are a couple of phrases I keep mishearing.
For instance I'm firmly convinced that you're singing about the passing of "tired
drummers".
Other than that, you indeed don't slur. I guess the thing I was hearing when I
first commented is that you have a tendency to trail off the last word of a
sentence.
But hey, I think this is an absolutely lovely song, you have a great voice, and I
scored it 9889.

Just the thing... &mdash 08/01/05 - 07:54:25 AM
...sounds like Fairy Beth with bass and drums...
The song is great, the vocal's great as always...And the
vocal takes center stage, which is wise...
Down the road I'd love to hear some more like this, with a
little more "action" from the band...but that's not a
criticism, that's just me...
This is awesome as it stands. Don't know how I missed its
appearance until now.
