Stand Up - Old Dirt Hill Discussion

[esc2476]

FYI-Old Dirt Hill is up on WH.

[^MaLaKaS^]

So they update the Warehouse site around 1PM everyday with clips? I was just curious

[JimiThing333]

I like the song, its got potential....Waiting for the more upbeat songs though

[Behrend]

Anybody notice on your media player (Bring that Beat Back)? Interesting. . .

I think the whole album is going to be perfect for long drives and on repeat. . .

It has such a cool groove so far. . .

Yeah

S

[esc2476]

I like the song, its got potential....Waiting for the more upbeat songs though

I do also. I mean, it is only a 40 second clip, but it seems to have a lot of complexity to it which makes me believe Dave was not just mailing it in.

Also, I think the quality of the clips themselves on the web site is poor and with all the songs, they will sound better on CD.

[TurboPGT]

Gonna be another kick ass song....interesting how the song clip sounds like a different pace / different lyrics from the first video.....

[TurboPGT]

Also, I think the quality of the clips themselves on the web site is poor and with all the songs, they will sound better on CD.

128 kps of streaming audio

vs.

24 bit DVD audio (if your getting the dual disc)


hmmmmmm....

[esc2476]

That makes me think they'll be a section in the song with some sort of jam.

[TurboPGT]

any reason to think that the tracklist may be different than what we already know of? c since the order of the clips went DG, SR, ODH??? instead of DG, ODH, SR? Maybe they thought Dreamgirl-->Old Dirt Hill was too slow of a start and they wanted smooth rider to break it up

[AcesSuited]

Agreed. :thumbsup
This is going to be an amazing album. I absolutely cannot wait. I absolutely love the new sound/vibe.

[eevulhomer]

So far I am really liking what I hear (with the exception of Dreamgirl, which really did nothing for me).

[bense27]

This song is very good. I didn't like it at first but it grows on you. I don't think it will be a huge hit live though. Stand Up will definately be great live.

[jigger_3]

Anyone notice that low voice with Dave's - especially at the beginning of the clip when he sings "that old dirt hill?" Is that Batson or just an effect?

[esc2476]

128 kps of streaming audio

vs.

24 bit DVD audio (if your getting the dual disc)


hmmmmmm....

Yeah, I didn't express myself too well there. I realize that. I think a lot of people who were complaining about Dave's voice may be surprised when we hear the CD.

[bense27]

I don't really hear a low voice. I think it is an effect.

[wiebrod]

This clip sounds great also, it just sucks that we still have weeks to wait before we can hear the full thing, the anticipation never stops growing.

[eevulhomer]

Ok so I have had this clip on repeat for about a half an hour now and I would kill to hear the rest of it right now. This song really jams. I love the lyrics (esp. lost my legs and bring that beat back), the beat, and the background instruments.

[TurboPGT]

i love where the song builds into ( a chorus) right in the middle of the clip...


AHHHH need to hear a full song! I've listened to American Baby eleventy billion times already

[joepsu0985]

This song is jammin'...i like all 3 clips so far...plus american baby

[RememberTwo]

i think the song is ok. all the clips so far have interesting dave vocals. i feel like he sounds a lot older and more mature on this record.

[joepsu0985]

i think the song is ok. all the clips so far have interesting dave vocals. i feel like he sounds a lot older and more mature on this record.


Yeah Dave has matured a great deal...I mean he wrote the majority of songs in the early 90s that are on the alubms pre every day...He was about 10 years younger then..

[RememberTwo]

Yeah Dave has matured a great deal...I mean he wrote the majority of songs in the early 90s that are on the alubms pre every day...He was about 10 years younger then..

yea, but i am not even talking lyrically, i just mean his voice. its a lot older and raspier.

[killymagee2000]

i think the song is ok. all the clips so far have interesting dave vocals. i feel like he sounds a lot older and more mature on this record.

His voice sounds a bit raspier.


Not a bad clip though.

[RememberTwo]

Not a bad clip though.

exactly

[joepsu0985]

yea, but i am not even talking lyrically, i just mean his voice. its a lot older and raspier.

yeah..i kind of like it...im liking the whole new direction dmb is going...so far anyway

[Thamlin19]

Yeah Dave has matured a great deal...I mean he wrote the majority of songs in the early 90s that are on the alubms pre every day...He was about 10 years younger then..

Most of us were about 10 years younger then. ;)

I thought the clip was ok. Only listened to it once though so I'll put it through a few more times.

[pmag78]

I'm digging this song a lot!

[AmericanBaby]

I am having just a little trouble listening to it

[Jordan#41]

decent... nothing special

[AlaskaFox]

Great clip. It's good the way the song is very similar to what we heard from Vid 1. Really catchy tune. I really like the vocals in it.

[seek up and #41]

this song really grows on you, after listining it a few times i liked even more

[granny_dmb41]

good clip. i cant wait to hear the rest of this, and the album. which i just noticed, comes out three weeks from today. fyi :)

[DomM41]

great potential. Deff a new direction, I need to hear the whole song!!!

[CornellDMBfan]

I like it a lot . . . from the clip, it sounds very mellow and sweet. I can't wait to hear the full versions. I'm like a puppy meeting a new person - everytime I hear a new clip I almost pee myself in anticipation of the full album. all you skeptics are entitled to your opinion, but I'm really digging the new tunes. if you can just pull yourself away from the idea that they're going to sound like "old DMB" (what the hell is "old DMB," anyway?), you'll enjoy these new grooves/styles a whole lot more. btw . . . what does this song remind me of? it sounds like something else I've heard (especially the first line "I used to ride my bike down that old dirt hill")

[Enduring Dan]

Anyone save this to their computer? My WMP is on the fritz it would seem, and hasn't let me listen to the last 2 clips.

Good points.

Maybe it sounds like the song in Vid 1? ;)

By "Old DMB" I think they mean BTCS and anything up to that point.

[jobiwan24]

AHHHH need to hear a full song! I've listened to American Baby eleventy billion times already

LOL, i'm with ya, i've listened to AB AND the clips the hilarious number you used x 100 katrillion. MAY 10!!!!!!!!

joe

[granny21]

Damn this beat is fresh. This is the beat i was wating for them to bring back!

[sharibean]

i like it :) i wasn't very impressed with the sounds of things up until today, but this is just plain good and maybe it doesn't sound like 'old dmb' but it sounds like the dave matthews band.

[Kyle#41_7985]

I dig this song a lot. Very sweet and innocent (can I straight man say that). I really dig the laid back vibe of this one. Sounds like a good song to play in the car with your woman as you're taking a nice drive out into the countryside.

[msb3079]

Anyone save this to their computer? My WMP is on the fritz it would seem, and hasn't let me listen to the last 2 clips.

b/c it only saves the links and the links are taken down when a new one is up.


ODH is cool but probably one of my least favs yet... not bad tho. i need to listen more.
still stoked for the CD tho!

[MistreatedLewis]

This is the best clip the Warehouse has posted so far. Sounds like this could be a great song.

[Matt1838]

And word is there's a jam at the end.

[2StepintoCrash]

This will be a very good song! I am liking the clips....they grow on you!

[TrippinMonkey41]

I think I just found my "chillin at the beach song" for the summer.

Brad

[OCMarsh]

Old Dirt Hill = that's what I'm talkin about! :thumbsup

[TurboPGT]

I wonder what tomorrow's clip will be? I just hope they don't waste a day on American Baby...idea is for a "first listen" as they put it...American Baby has been on the radio for weeks, so a clip is not necessary, I hope they realize that

[krbarrett77]

That makes me think they'll be a section in the song with some sort of jam.


Theres actually a lyric in the song that says "bring that beat back to me, again"

...so the subtitle in () for the song probably doesnt allude to a jam



haha PS: The "Hope to hear this summer" section in your sig makes me chuckle. Good luck with numbers 3, 4, and 5.

[ethaxton]

This seems to have the best overall response by everyone so far...in this thread at least. I really like all the clips so far minus dreamgirl.

[dmbfan101]

he's also a smoker...and touring takes a toll after a while...

[elcubano]

I love the way that DMB lets the warehouse members, who are ALL going to buy the album ANYWAYS, listen to clips, but the other fans and the rest of the world who may or may not buy it are not marketed to. Brilliant.

I'm glad to hear that so many people like this song.

[goochylittlepig]

AHHHH need to hear a full song! I've listened to American Baby eleventy billion times already
:thumbsup TELL me about it

[stobynj]

Love the groove this song has. Much better clip that the other ones so far. Can't wait for the whole album.

[esc2476]

haha PS: The "Hope to hear this summer" section in your sig makes me chuckle. Good luck with numbers 3, 4, and 5.

Yeah, I think I have a better chance at winning Mega Millions and then hiring DMB to come to my new mansion and play those songs for me personally, but you never know-esp for everything but CL since I will see them 4 times.

[ericvol]

all I have to say is wow...fun fun song...I like it alot!!! So happy!!! I think this song will have to have a jam at the end....I don't know why but I jsut feel it.

[clayj41]

ODH is easily my favorite of the leaked clips.

[CrashInto41]

Great clip, i love it! i cant wait to hear the whole thing

[DMBartender9]

Carter is significantly reduced as a drummer on this album, thus far.
The beats sound EXACTLY the same.
The lyrics are unimaginably childish and immature. (After all, this guy penned Dreaming Tree, YNK, and many other lyrical masterpieces)
His voice is atrocious.

I understand that these are clips, but this does not mean I shouldn't criticize what I've heard, albeit not much...

The only clip I truly enjoyed was Smooth Rider since it was a darker song with a good organ in the back. The rest are primarily poppy and uninspired.

[pmallard]

This song is going to absulutely rock live...i see a 5 minute jam (minimum) right in the middle....

well, dude.. i completely disagree.. I think you either need to turn on the pop 40 channel in your town or turn up your damn computer speakers.. this shit is inspired, by the whole damn band... Boyd; "every band member had fun making this album." can you imagine a little strung out heroin addict sitting across from you with 20 songs already written and being like back me up.. granted it's dave matthews, but I like the fact they built a song around boyd, steffan.. and leroi.. that's not inspired!!!.. man, you cannot buy the album, but honestly.. you're criticising the Dave Matthews Band.. if they fucking released a heartbeat drum beat it would be amazing.. and and dave matthews's voice will never be, I believe you said, "atrocious", c'mon dude, it's fuckin Dave Matthews.. i've been a fan for 10+ years and i'm excstatic about the new album.. i really don't give a shit about your opinion.. and you might not give a shit about mine.. but I think mine is better. :thumbsup :thumbsup

[2stepp41]

best yet

[MistreatedLewis]

.

You Never Know a lyrical masterpiece? It sounds to me like he took every pop music carpe diem cliche in the book and merged them together in a song in about five minutes. Maybe I am missing something...

[yankeeMan888]

does anyone have the lyrics to this clip?

[laron384]

I'm pretty in-between on this one. I don't love it, but I don't dislike it either. I'll wait three weeks and get a better verdict.

[eisnach41]

Anyone notice that low voice with Dave's - especially at the beginning of the clip when he sings "that old dirt hill?" Is that Batson or just an effect?


def sounds like Batson to me

[MistreatedLewis]

def sounds like Batson to me


Could it be Boyd?

[dmb6743]

man, this song has been growing on me alot...that guitar part is so chill an awesome

[cherone21]

Great reggae feel, think it will be a great tune to drink some beers under the sun too. The vibe reminds me of Margaritaville

[dmbfan524]

sounds like every one of these songs doesn't have a drummer...sounds like its a drum machine or computerized. (with the exception of american baby)....dreamgirl, smooth rider, and old dirt hill ...sounds like carter is non existant. this song so far has done nothing for me. actually it was pretty horrible IMO....come to think of it....i havent really enjoyed any of the songs so far. smooth rider i do see with some potential. more upbeat songs tho is what i hope we get

Not that I'm saying I disagree with you about the lack of Carter, but don't forget that Kid A is an album which features mostly electronic drums. I think that's possibly my favorite album of this century. And Phil Selway is no Carter but he's a helluva drummer...

and he definitely plays live...

oh definitely...i wont fully judge till i hear the songs live...to see if they change them....i just mean that i guess we won't get another tripping billies (carter wise)...dream girl, american baby, and old dirt hill seemed to have the same beat. but thats just from the clips

:thumbsup my thoughts exactly

[Nitro1515]

does anyone have the lyrics to this clip?
I used to ride my bike down that old dirt hill
The first time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
Screaming, shouting, louder, innocence
Days when all we did was never end
Screaming down that old dirt hill

[CornellDMBfan]

I'm glad to hear that so many people like this song.

It's not a marketing tactic though. It's a "special benefit" that us WH members get. Just a little added bonus. A sneak peek will ya. so don't get bent out of shape that they're not "marketing" to other other fans because like i said it's not a marketing tactic.

[Nitro1515]

I think it's "bring that beat back on me, again" . . . ?
I don't know I'm definitely hearing "to"

Start with bold number one...not that i don't believe taht the band had fun making the album...but remember what the band was saying before Everyday came out, take waht they say with a grain of salt.

Not everything DMB is going to relese is going to be amazing. i.e. Everyday. They're going to have a few songs that don't make it sometimes. ehy just can't fart record it and release it and expect people to buy and love it (i.e. Everyday again) They lost fans cause of that.

And Dave Matthews voice can be attrocious at times. after a full summer of singing and his voice going out and super scratchy it becomes...well ok not attrocious but bad. But different people like different sounds.

:)

thank you soo much

[@WarWithTheMoon]

I love just reading everyone's comments on the songs and guessing what they sound like.. I can't wait to hear this, I'm holding off til the 10th.

[Matt1838]

Does anyone else think those lyrics are pretty chill? Sure, they aren't the deepest lyrics ever written, but they paint a nice image. And the beat makes you want to just sit back and chill... or burn the day away, whichever you prefer.

[CornellDMBfan]

I don't know I'm definitely hearing "to"
I don't hear the hard "t" sound . . . could easily be wrong, though

[dmbfan524]

surprised this song is getting a good response...i've already posted that i wont fully judge till i see the songs live...but to me everyday is MUCH better...at least carter somewhat existed on that album...so did roi and boyd. honestly..have you heard leroi hit a note yet (besides american baby)? hope the songs get much better or i think this will be a huge letdown. (metallica's st. anger if you will)

[ericvol]

Definatly feeling the vibe of this song. I think the lyrics fit the groove well and are kind of childish in a way. Really hope there is a more upbeat part of the song, but if not it will still be good.

[ericvol]

Sorry to double post but there could be a nice little upbeat part of this song, think if you took 43 seconds of Typical Situation, you would think, man nice little guitar riff but really slow...then that song has a very upbeat chorus...so once again we shouldn't judge before hearing the whole song.

[shoelessjoe910]

Not to dispel some myth or anything about Carter because we all know he's one mother fuckin' badass!!! But I listened to the older studio albums and noticed his drumming wasn't too different. I had a couple of examples a couple days ago, but now I've forgotten them. I know was listening to #41 and noticing that his "beat" was pretty straight forward except when he had a fill here and there (and the jam). That is one of the most popular DMB songs to date and the drumming ain't that wild to say in the least.

I feel compelled to say this with those that find the drumming dry in all these clips (especially this one). After watching the American Baby, I was able to see/hear Carter do some stuff that I had previously missed that really spruces up the song in his percussion playing. The clip of Stand Up, shows him using some fun funky rhythms with the percussion as well. I wouldn't necessarily dismis Carter's role or "playing abilites" on this album.

[ericvol]

^^^Very Good Point^^^

[Matt1838]

^ Agreed. I was listening to Crash the other day, and the studio drumming is much toned down from concerts. Stand Up, the song itself, exhibits an equal quality of drums as anything else, IMO.

[chrisandiego]

I love that keyboard they play in the first video clip on the new album site- that shit is tight. (the one where Carter plays the keys in the air)

[cherone21]

I think this album is going to be great, but it may be different in the fact that on the album the songs will be short and sweet, leaving room for them to explode live. I cant wait.

[ericvol]

"I love that keyboard they play in the first video clip on the new album site- that shit is tight. (the one where Carter plays the keys in the air)"

Pretty sure thats from old dirt hill.

[Noles20]

This song is my favorite of all of the clips, and I like them all a lot. I think this cd is going to rule. I can't wait to hear what the rest of these songs sound like. Think of some of DMB's songs that are so different in parts. A 40 second clip just gives you a small peak. The rest of the song can be so different and can blow you away!

[marco j]

^ Agreed. I was listening to Crash the other day, and the studio drumming is much toned down from concerts. Stand Up, the song itself, exhibits an equal quality of drums as anything else, IMO.


sorry this is just plain inaccurate. The studio version has a few parts drumming wise that carter (I don't believe) can pull off every night.

[alpine41]

Damn...you know what really sucks is that I haven't been able to listen to any of the clips! Wm player keeps giving me a damn error that an object or name was not found. I've tried everything I can think of....even unistalled windows media player & re-downloaded twice...still nothing...I like the reviews though...I guess I'll just have to wait until the album comes out!

[granny21]

yea man...ure going to really like this album

[granny21]

I still cant get over how fresh this beat is...i would have never pictured a funky dreaming tree sound

[taphntm]

I like mucho mucho grande

[BustedJeff]

I don't really like this clip. It's just kind of boring.

[dmb2much40]

I don't really like this clip. It's just kind of boring.

i agree. nothing jumps out at me.

[Tinusch]

i really don't give a shit about your opinion.. and you might not give a shit about mine.. but I think mine is better.

Hahaha words to live by

[drumdawgone]

wow-damn-well-shit.............what i said after my peak at this new effort from the boys.

[|UAY| |)(V)|3]

this is my favorite clip yet, which isnt saying much because i feel everything i have heard off of the new album is under par. American baby is the best song i have heard overall, this was the best song clip.

[bartender1162]

IMO, I kind of like this clip. Dave sounds good, but Boyd really shines in it. Carter is all but non-existent, IMO, unfortunately.

[beastfrmthfares]

This is easily my fave of the new stuff we've heard...although I'm not terribly fond of American Baby and the other sound clips, this one to me seems to have the least cliche lyrics and a little less generic feel to it than the other tunes. Of course, all this IMO

[josh101prf]

I think I'm going to have to join the WH just to hear the clip. Sounds cool, can't wait to hear the complete album. 21 short days away!!!!

[manninta]

def sounds like Batson to me
How the hell do you know what Batson sounds like lyrically???
Get the F... out of here

[007]

this is my favorite clip yet, which isnt saying much because i feel everything i have heard off of the new album is under par.

:thumbsup ditto :thumbsup

[dmbfan524]

this is my favorite clip yet, which isnt saying much because i feel everything i have heard off of the new album is under par. American baby is the best song i have heard overall, this was the best song clip.

i think this is the worst so far...and nothing on this album has had any sort of positive direction IMO. same beats..same slow songs

[TurboPGT]

def sounds like Batson to me

What? #1 How the hell would you know (in fact they sound quite dave-ish to me)
#2 What makes you think he had anything to do with writing lyrics for this album...i doubt he took part in that, or at least not on the Glen Ballard level

[TurboPGT]

nothing on this album has had any sort of positive direction

just out of curiosity what would be a positive direction? IYO?

*****

This is going to be the best thing they've released in 7 years

[Mspacman14]

I think this will be great live. Funky, fresh.

[BDJCL3]

IMO, I kind of like this clip. Dave sounds good, but Boyd really shines in it. Carter is all but non-existent, IMO, unfortunately.

Carter will come out more live I bet, but I do like to hear a big Carter presence on the albums as well.

[2StepintoCrash]

It's a boring clip but, let's hear the full version and then decide. They tend to not display the best clips of these songs.

[beband]

What I have heard so far leads me to believe we're all being lead on. I think they are intentionally giving us the slowest or least energy sections so that when we hear the full thing we'll all be blown away. I did like ODH. The first one I have really said "Yeah, this is gonna be good!" The others I am waiting on. I am hoping that the stuff will translate well into live shows, but it makes me sad because I can't go to a live show this year because I will be having a son around the time they are in my area. Oh well...I guess that's why we have wonderful tapers out there! In summary:
ODH: good. :)

[dmbfan524]

just out of curiosity what would be a positive direction? IYO?

more carter, roi, and boyd. besides american baby (and that was minimal)...haven't heard them on any clip.

[TurboPGT]

more carter, roi, and boyd. besides american baby (and that was minimal)...haven't heard them on any clip.

clip being the operative word...because you couldn't hear them on a few second clip doesn't mean the entire direction the band is going in sucks.

I find it really strange that people complain about the level of involvement from the rest of the band, when each band member has raved over their own personal involvement. (Except Roi, but ya know how much he loves talkin into the camera)

[nappa1]

Once again, lets all remember these are 40 second clips....if you don't hear boyd or carter or steffan or leroi or even enough of Dave on the clips, chances are we'll hear them at another point on the song (obviously Dave)!! the great, and at the same time negative, aspect of the WH releasing these clips is that it builds anticipation - sometimes good and sometimes bad.

My grandfather always told me, 'patience is a virtue' - i'm gonna wait all of this speculation out for about another 20 days! and I'm psyched!!

[dmbfan524]

yeah...i wont judge till i hear the full album and hear the songs live....but based on the CLIP...ODH is unimpressive. IMO of course

[AmericanBaby]

I think I am going to become a member just so I can hear these clips.

[augustuszb]

im hav'n trouble getting this clip. but then i switched from firefox to explorer and i heard the song stand up. not Old dirty road.

are they switching up the songs everyday?

[Gerginator]

yes, the songs change every day

[2StepintoCrash]

Some jack#@! over at AMI claimed that he received Stand Up in the mail today. He is currently getting bashed. Why do people even bother making shit like that up?? Oh well, we should expect this just about eveyday now up until it either does leak or it is officially released on May 10th.

[jrh312]

Also, I think the quality of the clips themselves on the web site is poor and with all the songs, they will sound better on CD.

I've noticed this before too... take a listen to the SD audio clips on the band's website. They sound terrible, and that kept me off buying the CD for a long time until I heard a friend's and realized they actually sounded good.

[dmbkristin]

#2 What makes you think he had anything to do with writing lyrics for this album...i doubt he took part in that, or at least not on the Glen Ballard level
Dave himself has said a few times that Glen Ballard did not write any of the lyrics on Everyday.

[DrewLeon738]

smooth rider is probablly my favorite so far but old dirt hill isnt a bad song by any means

[dps225]

This is up on the official new album site now. Link is still labeled Smooth Rider, but the link points to ODH. I like it, but I'm pretty easy to please.

[CarterBoydBear]

I'm definetely liking this one quite a bit. This one could be pretty sweet live, and it sounds like there could be a pretty sweet change to a minor sounding chorus or bridge. Hopefully somewhere throughout the rest of the song there is!

[CarterBoydBear]

how come you like smooth rider? I'm interested in what people like about it because it's actually been my least favorite of all the clips. No disrespect intended, I'm just interested in why you liked it. Thanks!

[clayj41]

Old Dirt Hill has been my favorite, and I agree that Smooth Rider was probably my least favorite.

[DreemingTree41]

It's got potential.... I wish some of the songs were faster though.... they seem like its one of those rainy day mellow out CD's... but that can be quite a good thing sometimes. Excited to hear more each day

Clips ranked
1) Dreamgirl
2) Old Dirt Hill
3) Smooth Rider

[chalktwo]

I've come to like Old Dirt Hill. The only thing i truly DISlike about it is the drum beat, way too hip-hop.

:ugh Batson said the exact opposite in the interview.

[eevulhomer]

Does anybody again know the lyris to the song at these points "Scream and shout _______ innocence" and "Days when all we did would _______"

Thanx

[CrashInto41]

Does anybody again know the lyris to the song at these points "Scream and shout _______ innocence" and "Days when all we did would _______"

Thanx

I believe its "Days when all we did would never end" , but i could be wrong

[eevulhomer]

I believe its "Days when all we did would never end" , but i could be wrong

Yeah, that is what I thought too, I was more confusedm about the first part :BANG

[tyler1389]

i love this song, it gives me chills, a feeling dmb hasn't given me in the studio in a while.

[satellitedmb40]

I like odh. it's different from anything i've heard of dmb in a good way. I'm learning to appreciate now that they can be around for as long as they have and come in the studio and not replicate songs. This really is a new direction and I'm officially all for mark batson. no more doubts :thumbsup

[eevulhomer]

do u guys know these lyrics?

[darbini]

sooooooooo everytime I listen to the beginning riff of Old Dirt Hill it reminds me of

Saturday Night:
Another saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I’ve got some money cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful way

someone please sing along these lines with the riff and tell me what ya'll think

[rcarlsn612]

who is on vocals during the chorus?

[darbini]

who is on vocals during the chorus?

Carter on a helium hit :confused

[kmsracer]

i can't believe how much i love this song (and LB and Dreamgirl and Hello again... jeez! the whole album!)

[rcarlsn612]

ya this is in my top 5 for the album, no doubt
i was thinkin(since in a vid they said all 5 sing on SU) that maybe it could be fonz on the chorus???

[Noles20]

who is on vocals during the chorus?

Has this questioned been answered anywhere??

I can see it now, DMB performs this song at the Grammy's with The Backstreet Boys.

DOES ANYONE HEAR THIS IS AT ALL?????




sorry, didn't mean to yell, but anyone?

[cherone21]

cater is doing much more in this song then he is getting credit for. Turn it up and he is nailing the wood blocks like a mad man.

[Nitro1515]

I really love this tune, listening to it right now.

[dmb2much40]

i bet it's just carter, butch, and dave and their voices were altered with the wierd voice effects found on other songs. carter and butch got their voices up pretty high on stay the last 2 tours.

[marco j]

Bring that beat back to meeeeeee again......

[MonkeyDigsDMB]

Bring that beat back to meeeeeee again......

yeah this nonsense with Nick Lachey singing backup vocals is awful. This is the only song I just can't tolerate. It's great except for the crappy boy band backing vocals. Man, what the FUCK were they thinking? This is Batson's influence it seems. Although he has positive influences on the rest of the album for sure. I really like Stand Up, Louisiana Bayou, Out of My Hands, Hunger.., You Might Die Trying, Amercian Baby, Dreamgirl.

Man I just can't say it enough- this boy band sound is god awful. This is 1000 times worse than the lovely ladies. (i actually like them on some songs).

[lilyse]

does anyone have the full lyrics to this?

[clayj41]

does anyone have the full lyrics to this?

Here are some that were posted earlier:

Bring that beat back to me again
(Go on take me back, give me that, can't catch me, can't catch me??)
Bring that beat back to me again

Ride my bike down the old dirt hill
First time without my training wheels
First time I kissed you I lost my legs
bring that beat back to me again

screamin, shouting loud of innoncence
days when all we do won't never end

Bring that beat back to me again
(Go on take me back, give me that, can't catch me, can't catch me??)
Bring that beat back to me again

Smoking under the railroad bridge
I used to ride my bike down that old dirt hill
the first time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again

Screamin, shouting loud of innocence
days when all we do won't never end

screamin down that old dirt hill
bring that beat back to me again

thats when the days I remember
seem so far away
know its just a kiss, thats what i miss
its just a kiss, thats what i miss
take me back
take me back
to that beat again

smokin under the railroad bridge
bring that beat back to me again
bring that beat back to me again
bring that beat back to me again
the first time all we good good friends
bring that beat back to me again
(repeat until fade)

Is that really Nick Lachey? Whoever it is, it is terrible. Maybe the guy is a good singer and what he does probably fits with his own music, but it does not fit with DMB. BLAH!

I truly think it's Stefan. Try to isolate the voice during that part in your head, then compare to his speaking voice.

I'm tellin' ya. It's Stefan.

To me it sounds like almost everything that band fronted by Mark McGrath has put out. Can't think of their name for the life of me.

Case in point - I'm standing outside a friend's office today, and suddenly Old Dirt Hill comes on her radio!! WTF?!? This is Toronto!!

Oops - "Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed..."
