]]> Comment on i can see clearly… from the road by Steve http://ontheroadlesstraveled.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/i-can-see-clearly-from-the-road/#comment-54 Steve Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:02:37 +0000 http://ontheroadlesstraveled.wordpress.com/?p=219#comment-54 well, just a couple of thoughts really... first of all, like i said before, i don't think you've said too much here. you've certainly shared some personal thoughts and emotions, but nothing that goes beyond any imaginary edges or lines drawn in the sand. i think it's wonderful that you have such a strong bond with your step-dad... my step-dad was not a great father figure, and he was in general a prick much of the time. our relationship is fine now, but the damage was already done and we will never be as close as we could have been. i still to this day have lingering emotional issues because of the way he treated me. anyways, i could go on and on about that, but i'd rather not. these days it really doesn't matter that much. i'm just sayin' because you were worried about opening up too much, so i thought i'd share... my second thought revolves of course around the mmj comments. i knew right away that the new album was my least favorite. i feel like those missing expressive elements you speak of such as 'heartache, haunting, eery, & ghostly' can probably be somewhat attributed to Jim using a lot less reverb. also, the new album isn't quite as dark lyrically or musically, which is amplified by two key differences between the old and the new: one, evil urges is more poppy, and two, it was over-produced (which probably propelled the pop feel even more). finally, there's a couple things you may not know regarding my fondness for this band, and both of these things touch on your above comments: first, 'at dawn' made me fall in love with mmj, and second, i too think that 'it still moves' is their best album :) carry on then, steve well, just a couple of thoughts really… first of all, like i said before, i don’t think you’ve said too much here. you’ve certainly shared some personal thoughts and emotions, but nothing that goes beyond any imaginary edges or lines drawn in the sand. i think it’s wonderful that you have such a strong bond with your step-dad… my step-dad was not a great father figure, and he was in general a prick much of the time. our relationship is fine now, but the damage was already done and we will never be as close as we could have been. i still to this day have lingering emotional issues because of the way he treated me. anyways, i could go on and on about that, but i’d rather not. these days it really doesn’t matter that much. i’m just sayin’ because you were worried about opening up too much, so i thought i’d share…

my second thought revolves of course around the mmj comments. i knew right away that the new album was my least favorite. i feel like those missing expressive elements you speak of such as ‘heartache, haunting, eery, & ghostly’ can probably be somewhat attributed to Jim using a lot less reverb. also, the new album isn’t quite as dark lyrically or musically, which is amplified by two key differences between the old and the new: one, evil urges is more poppy, and two, it was over-produced (which probably propelled the pop feel even more). finally, there’s a couple things you may not know regarding my fondness for this band, and both of these things touch on your above comments: first, ‘at dawn’ made me fall in love with mmj, and second, i too think that ‘it still moves’ is their best album :)

We all need a reminder from time to time that what we project we grow from. It's funny how we can subconsciously sorrow and soar varying obsticals with ease. Are matters really as bad as we make them out to be? Thank you. My luv, you’ve cleared my skies. We all need a reminder from time to time that what we project we grow from.
