The Turn - Favorite song? Options

[jclive]

I'm curious to know which songs people like the most so far.

For me, its We Open the Door.

I love the way that it builds excitement as the song progresses. Very positive and upbeat. Classic Live!

Close 2nd would be The Way Around is Through.

I consider The Turn to be Secret Samadhi's kid brother in a way, and songs like Sirens Call and HCTTDT are a big part of why.

I can see that. It's also why I think Ed would do a better job on Shinn songs than Shinn did on Ed songs.

Not that we will (or should) find out.

Not current Ed, current Ed can't even do Ed songs justice.


But yeah it is definitely semi-related to SS. Especially in the sense that the bones of what became Sirens Call was something of a left over from a guitar piece that CT was working on in the SS era. So we definitely know SS was in their minds writing that one and naturally would flow into other songs.

But I feel there are definite connections to other eras on the album. There is something on DRTW which taps TC, same with HCTTDT which is like a TC/SS combo. TWAIT and WOTD are closest to tapping into a TDTH sound, maybe more a TDTH-BOP hybrid for TWAIT. And Strength to hold on and When you came around have a very Shinn solo/EIE feel to them respectively.

We've yet to see what current Ed will bring. Most Recent Ed, I'd agree. The question for me is not only CAN he bring it anymore, but if he can, will he?

Only time will tell.
