10,000 Cups Options

[san_sao]

Lyrics to this song:

"and we got 10,000 cups devoted to nothing but water and hot coffee"

*not really lyrics to this song*

Finally, a song about my life.

[Pingfah]

I'm thinking the same thing....i mean, the the title alone is sketchy.

Makes me immediately think 20,000 Girls, 10,000 Cups. And that is not a good thing.

ETA: I see someone already thought of this...

Jim Wirt has been called in to assist.

I heard they're flying Railo in straight from Liverpool to add his magic

sorry I had to add this little gem from my rep comments, name withheld

So... um... I guess that time it was streamed was our only chance to hear this one, eh?

[Heather]

Sure hope not. Heard it live at the rehearsal and absolutely loved it! Been dying to hear it again. Hope they didn't scrap it.

I’m pretty sure, maybe 90% 10000 cups was a working title

Quoted from another thread. So, is Waterfall or Brother from the new EP actually 10,000 Cups?

Unless they slowed down the song; added a little more to it; or rewrote some of it etc., I would say that the only one that is close in time is Waterfall. 10,000 cups is somewhere around 3:45 (ish) on the only version we've seen, which puts it closer to Waterfall's time, but still about 20 seconds off I think. (Of note is that 10k cups is about 125 BPM)

The lyrics are rather hard to understand so it's hard to say where a 'Waterfall' reference would come from, unless it's the 10,000 cups of dirty water all overflowing lol.

I don't think it would be 'Brother' unless they significantly changed the song, especially given the timing of the song.

Anyway, just an observation.

seems possible lyrically there

There's some hints that next year's full-length will be pretty bluesy (e.g. the producer, the Jimmy Reed cover). I'm just curious where this fits between OutToDry's comment and other people mentioning this song being somewhere between blues and reggae.

Just a quick note: the song only says "10,000 cups of dirty water" and does not include the "all overflowing" part. That was just something I added. Sorry for the confusion if there was any.

Even the big Rolling Stone magazine described something as Love Lounge as 'bluesy'. So if the new album will be bluesy in that kind of way, I'm not really conviced. The cover in concert sounded bluesy tho.

Different people talking about the song like they've heard it.
How many people on this board did really heard it or is a recording floating around?

I've heard it so just speaking to what I know of it.

I'm not sure who else here has heard it.

I really hope we get to hear this one! Sounds interesting!

I do too. It was the first new title with Ed we got.
