Dirty Water, Lotus Flower, What about it? Options

[SecretInsomnia]

First of all: what happened to this song? Ed said he was uninspired before recording Alive, and then met 'incredible new musicians' to record his album with.

But before that, Dirty Water, Lotus Flower came out. Listening back to it, it at least sounded somewhat creative and a bit interesting. Some called it electronic Hindoe-gospel or whatever, and it may have been a bit weird, but at that time I really thought was gonna make a very different album from what he had done with Live and started to understand why he wanted to do a solo album.

Too bad, the song was played one time on the radio and after it no body ever heard of it anymore.
I thought Ed's vocals on the start of the first verse were quite nice and strong. Also the combination of styles is interesting, if this demo would have been worked out further. Overall, the song is a bit too long and boring.

I still don't like this song, but I would have given Ed a lot more props for making an album in this style or one that was solo acoustic. Something, anything different.

Viciously seconded.

I really do hope that his next record is acoustic. And without Ramy. I will definitely try and give it a spin.

Or not.
