i dont have the no strings mystery yet, how can i get it?

[J.Sax]

Of the teasers I posted earlier this year, which song do you (or anyone else reading this topic) want to hear the most?

That's a toughie. The Distance and Face and Ghost are two of my favorites, and the drumming on F&G sounds awesome. But Vine Street sounds cool, too. (Walk Into This Room is bottom of this list for me.)

I think I'll go with Face and Ghost, but it was hard.

Question, though. How different are the songs? You posted clips with alternate lyrics (besides Walk Into This Room, which had Ed on vocals instead of Nenah), but are there many other differences? I don't want to be gypped and get one of these songs way before all the others, but not much else be different than maybe the part you posted.

I can post it for everyone if it isn't already available. The version I have is from the advanced copy of SFBM.

I have posted the lyrics for both the album version and demo of "Face And Ghost" below...

you got it bad
you got it good
you saw the sun
like you knew that you would
we gotta make this better
gotta make this right
ain't no peace in the valley baby
'til the darkness turns to light

can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
high above the lamentation up on the desert
plane
do you hear that children's song?
can you take me there?

lost in the maya
overboard in the sea
there was void and then that water broke
then something called "me"
now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
it's like never-ending mirrors
playing tricks on my eyes

can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
high above the lamentation up on the desert
plane
do you hear that children's song?
can you take me there?

the face and ghost my guide
I must move on
it's the face of one ravaged by love
it's both dead and alive

you got it bad lover
no you got it good
you saw the sun
like you knew that you would
in spite of my confusion
up above all my pain
I gotta death-grip on this vision
here we go again

the face and ghost my guide
I must move on
it's the face of one ravaged by love
it's both dead and alive

sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
can you hear them singin'?
can you hear them singin'?

can you hear that children's song?
can you take me to that place?
do you hear that pilgrim's song?
can you take me there?

(drums included in intro)

you got it bad
you got it good
you saw the sun
like you knew that you would
we gotta make this better
gotta make this right
it's like the judge and the jury, baby
i'm coming down tonight

sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la

lost in the maya
overboard in the sea
there was void and then that water broke
then something called "me"
now a trip to the desert to look at the sky
it's like never-ending mirrors
playing tricks on my eyes

sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la
sha la la la la la la

the face and ghost my guide
I must move on
it's the face of one ravaged by love
it's both dead and alive

you got it bad lover
no you got it good
you saw the sun
like you knew that you would
in spite of my confusion
up above all my pain
I gotta death-grip on this vision
here we go again

sha la la la la la la

And here are the lyrics for both the album version and demo of "The Distance"...

let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket
and shake it all around

I've been to pretty buildings, all in search of you
I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews
the desert had been done before,
but I didn't even care
I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair
I saw that...

oh the distance is not do-able
in these bodies of clay my brother
oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
guess it's natural to feel this way
oh, let's hold out for something sweeter
spread your wings and fly

my car became the church and I
the worshipper of silence there
in a moment peace came over me
and the one who was beatin' my heart appeared and....

oh the distance is not do-able
in these bodies of clay my brother
oh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
guess it's natural to feel this way
oh, are we locked into these bodies?
let's hold out for something sweeter
spread your wings and fly

oh, are we locked into these bodies?
are we anything at all?
let's hold out for something sweeter
spread your wings and fly
this distance is dreamin'
we're already there tonight

let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket
and shake it all around

let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket
and shake it all around (this distance is dreaming)

let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket
and shake it all around (this distance is dreaming)

my car became the church
and i the worshipper of silence there
but still it feels to think alone
not possible, too complicated
conscious lies our feeble eye
to be added to love despair
in a moment peace came over me
and the one who was beatin' my heart appeared and....

lord? lord? yeah, already there tonight

let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket
and shake it all around

let him come into the city
let him find his lucky penny
let him put it in his pocket
and shake it all around
around around, yeah
already there, ooh

And here are the lyrics for both the album version and demo of "The Distance"...

So you lied when I asked before if this version of Face and Ghost had the "sha la la la la la la" chorus.

I want it bad, but The Distance looks awesome. I know that you'll eventually share what all you have, or else you wouldn't have teased us before. But it's so hard to pick just one now. I say that if it's one of the two, surprise me. Or if one of the other two wins the vote, that's just as well.

[K. Schrader]

alright, i have an idea

i myself personally would LOVE to hear these songs, oh so much, but if Dan were to just share them all at once, we'd sort of lose this mystery of things which haven't heard, right?

i suggest that Dan releases 1 further 'unreleased' or 'demo' version song, per week, and discuss on each one for that week in a topic, until all are done, does anyone agree with me?

haha think we can all agree though that we all want to hear them

[lien]

The Distance or Face And Ghost, I can't choose between them...

But then again, anything would be fine by me, Dan!

[J.Sax]

The more I think about it, the more I lean toward Face and Ghost.

And I skipped over this before:

I can post it for everyone if it isn't already available. The version I have is from the advanced copy of SFBM.

The only version I have is the one that leaked a year ago. Yours, you said, is a bit different.

I've only heard The Distance teaser, but then again, I haven't been on this board much. Do you have a different Vine Street version? I would love to hear it. Actually, all three of them sound awesome. I don't think I've been on this board enough to have much of a say, but it would be cool to hear one of those songs or all of those or F&G and The Distance or F&G and Vine Street or The Distance and Vine Street or .... im kidding. But good going Dan!
