New song?, Take me up to Zion Options

[Costakoui]

Is “Take me up to Zion” played at Tin Angel a new song? If so, any feedback from those who listened to it?

o'right...


....I like the fact this new played song forms a really positive vibe here in the Live fanbase... and I don't want to spoil that feeling...

but aren't we a little too early by stating this is 'a great new song' ? I would really like to believe that, and I really enjoyed the video I listened (now for more than 10 times). And yes...it maybe has potential... But have we forgotten that this was 1 single live performance of a song he created 2 days ago. Maybe he hasn't really decided how the final version of the song must sound. Maybe he was just in 'the right mood' to bring it in a way we really like. But, for example, Ed has brought Selling the Drama so many times, and sometimes we really liked it (when his voice was dark/low), and other times many of us thought he brought a female version of the song. And this counts for every performance of every song. What if this was only a pre-version of the end product. And by that: the last 7 years the live versions of song sounded better than how they finally ended up on the album. Production is often killing it. (some on BoP, many songs on SFBM).

Again: I don't want to spoil it, and yes we haven't seen Ed in this 'mood' for a long time now, but the song was only 2 days old, can change really much in the meantime and may end up as a overproduced pop rock thing.

I hope you're all right, and that the CHANGE we all waited for almost a decade, has come. After all, everybody's good enough for some change. Some F*CKING change!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, one things for sure: I like the lyrics for Forever/Purifier/TMUTZ much more than the most songslyrics from SFBM.

You keep saying that Ed 'created this song 2 days ago', what makes you think that? Sure, he first performed the track to the public 2 days ago, but this song could be weeks or months old... Maybe it was a left over track from the Forever/Purifier recording sessions?

Am I missing something where Ed stated that he wrote the song only very recently??

well I didn't mean he PERFORMED it days ago (as that's almost week now or so), but I'm sure it was 1. in the 30 minute interview or 2. in the review of a fan that posted his review about the solo show (here or at SOY, don't remember), and said Ed introduced the song by saying that TMUTZ was written 2 days ago. Don't know if I read/heard it in 1. or 2.

But would it surprise you if it was true? Ed also claimed recently that Purifier and Forever were created really at the last minute of the deadline for LATP, and he said something similar of the Bob Dylan as he said about TMUTZ: he practiced the Dylan song only a few days before (as we could see on the sheets with lyrics he had during performing )
