Re: [sdre-l]: Sunny Day Independence
Incidentally, what one person thinks is whining and complaining is, in fact, another person's opinion, so respect it as such and don't be quick to label it whining... ...midnight moderating thoughts. :) I stand corrected wish to retract the term whining. While on a macro scale, I can say much of it comes across to me that way, on an individual level I certainly do not want to trash anyone's idea's or beliefs. I just do not understand why we as a fanbase seem to have so much animosity towards stylistic changes or any sort of deviation from what one has done in the past. I listen to SDRE because of a love for the writing, lyrically musically. Some songs reach inside me seem to touch eternal truths. Others may only scratch the surface. there are the few that I listen to each time trying to search for something meaningful, but not quite getting it. Are they throw aways? Some days I think so.other days I think about the band decide they must have been saying something that I just haven't picked up on yet, then I go listen to them again. Those are just thoughts I would like to explore, what different meanings everyone takes from the music. I know there are thousands of idea "threads" I have never pondered that someone else can share. But I do get bored w/missive after missive of dissatisfaction w/this album or that direction. Not knocking anyone else's opinion, just giving my own. michael
[sdre-l]: Sunny Day Independence
That is the best post I have ever seen on this list. Wes, thank you. I fear that more thoughtful meaningful discussions regarding theme, composition, imagery, etc.etc. never develop amongst the group due to all the constant selfish whining complaining that goes on. Ok, I don't know about anyone else, but I see a problem... Everyone on this list that gripes because Sunny Day should have never gotten back together and never came out with two more albums is nothing more than selfish. Who are you to say that they can't get back together? Sunny Day Real Estate isn't your band. Let them do what they wanna do. If you don't like it, don't buy it. There is no sense in griping about something that has already happened or something that isn't ever going to happen...like Nate getting back in the band. True that Nate is an amazing bass player, but he didn't make the band. Get that through ya'll's heads. He was only 1/4 of the band. I think that Jeremy, Dan, and William have every right to keep the band name when they got back together. Did Pearl Jam change their name when they lost drummers? Did Nirvana change their name when they dropped and guitar player and a drummer? The total song writing force behind the music lies totally with Dan and Jeremy. And what's this about the direction Dan is leading Jeremy? That's a bunch of crap. If Jeremy didn't like the direction, he wouldn't be going that way. He obviously likes it. It's true that HIFTBSO and The Rising Tide are different than the pink album and Diary, but they are still great! I absolutely love both of the newer albums just as much as the older ones. And anyways, Jeremy thinks that the pink album is the worst one they have ever done. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I have been reading all these emails for the past week and I just get frustrated because it seems as if people are just thinking about themselves when it comes to what a band is going to do. But anyways, no matter what Sunny Day decides to do, they will always be one of the best bands, and always my personal favorite band. Now quit griping about what they are doing and let them do what they wanna do. Later. wes
