I'm sitting in class and I'm bored. So I figured I'd type out for the 276th time my ideal (realistic) track listing. So that means I'm pulling Crazy-Easy off my listing (
).
1. NEW SONG
Funky, acoustic driven song with a catchy, melodic chorus. Tim adding acoustic fills. ---
5:45
2. #27
Standard version with Tim adding bottleneck slide acoustic fills. ---
4:15
3. NEW SONG
A dark, driving song with Tim on it. Acoustic and catchy, but also relatively slow. Think Don't Drink the Water. ---
4:45
4. Cornbread
Tim adding fills and Danny Barnes on banjo. This song could be a studio monster. I'm seeing Rapunzel-ish type potential all over it. Let Barnes and Tim have a "dueling banjos" type trade-off jam in the middle. ---
5:30
5. NEW SONG
Dark, catchy song with solid, thought-provoking lyrics. Maybe use the lyrics from the Gravedigger/Warehouse intro. ---
5:15
6. NEW SONG (SBC soundcheck)
I love the soundcheck and I can just smell the awesomeness in it. As long as the song has good lyrics, I don't think they can go wrong. Have Tim and Danny Barnes on it with Barnes coming in on that breakdown. Long, extended jam. ---
7:30
7. Sweet Up and Down
I'm torn about having this one on the album, but it's going to need a real staple on it. You can't go wrong with SUAD and the band seems to be considering it so why not. Toss Tim on it with some fills and you've got a winner. ---
5:00
8. NEW SONG
Need a soft, love song here. Maybe that myspace video song, but I'm not sold on that one yet. --- 4:00
9. A Dream So Real / NEW SONG
I'm not sold on ADSR yet either, but I think Tim could really add to it. I like the idea of the song, but it needs a little work and Dave needs a good riff in it instead of just standing there. ---
4:00
10. NEW SONG
A sweet love song. Something like Lover Lay Down. Acoustic driven with a Tim solo. ---
4:45
11. Shotgun
The best, most passion-filled, emotional version ever of it. Just belt out something incredible. ---
6:00
12. Sugar Will
I know it's not likely, but one can dream. I love the song and Tim on it would blow my mind. Keep it long, extend the jam and just let it go. ---
8:00
13. Hidden: Loving Wings
Fade in and let it run for about 3:00 and then fade it out.
Total run time: 64:45 (w/bonus track)
That's what I'd love to see. A kind of country/bluegrass/old school DMB type album. I want the tracks long. No short little punchy three minute pop songs. Give me good lengthened tracks like the old albums.
