What's the name for this type of song structure?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:16 pm

It seems to last forever.

hmm

Sorry, was I supposed to be doing something else?

I think this is just here to prove they're still experimental.

Y'know, that kind of Buddy Holly "pling-pling-pling pling-plong-pling, pling-pling-pling pling-plong-pling, pling-pling-pling pling-plong-pling"

And so on ad infinitum...

Is just a kind of basic '50 rock 'n roll sound?

Track 6 - Sweetness Follows.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:20 pm

This is my favourite track on the album. I found it very moving when I first got the album.

Cro-magnon man walks again:

Chellow.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:21 pm

It had lyrical content I could deeply relate to.

This is just so... 'there'.

I think I prefer it to Document and Fables of the Reconstruction or whatever it was called.

"Live your life filled with joy and thunder." sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:23 pm

"Yeah, we were all together, lost in our little lives." sad yes

Let's have a look at those lyrics that were so relatable to Wendi...

Readying to bury your father and your mother
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother
Distanced from one, blind to the other?
Listen here, my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother
Distanced from one, deaf to the other
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and thunder
Yeah, yeah, we were altogether
Lost in our little lives
Oh, oh, ah
Oh, oh, sweetness follows
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

Track 7 - Monty Got a Raw Deal.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:25 pm

On Side 2.

I have always preferred Side 2 to Side 1.
