Stand Up - Out of My Hands Discussion

[esc2476]

It's on the WH web site now.

[msb3079]

woah sweet must have just missed it! time to check it out!

[Noles20]

I have been very positive about the clips, but this is the one that I don't get. I can't put my finger on it. I'm not saying I don't like it, I just can't figure out what kind of song this is.

[msb3079]

hmm.. that is definately a song i need to hear the whole song - not just a clip to pass judgement.
it reminds me of a Live song tho...

[dfgreggain]

What happened the more up beat album that we were supposed to get, With the clips that I heard so far, I don't like it. But who knows it might turn out great, but its not looking good so far.

[JiMiThiNG277]

To me it sounds like an outro

[GruvnDMBRiddims]

hmmm... a little odd one, I might say-- hopefully this song will "bloom" when the band comes in (later on in the song). Very mellow, almost dark. I don't think this clip is going to end up doing any justice for the song though.

[dmbosw41]

the song is a lot like Little Thing or Too High. People have mentioned its just an extended outro mini song after Stand Up.

[CornellDMBfan]

I have a feeling that this part of the clip is some sort of bridge . . . we're not getting the whole picture here. Noles - I think maybe something that is putting you off is Dave's "breathy" voice? it's just kinda weird . . . anyway, I like Stefan's part in the song, and I think we're either just getting the tail end of the song (reprise?), or a bridge that really doesn't reflect what the rest of the song is like

[bilpushn]

To me it sounds like an outro

Exactly what I thought. I think it sounds sweet ass sweet.

[CornellDMBfan]

To me it sounds like an outro
agreed . . . I don't think this clip has much bearing on what the rest of the song sounds like

[msb3079]

they are trying to trick us.

hahaha

[walrusstapler]

It's lyrics are practically identical to Wake Up so I'm betting it's an outro/ reprise sort of deal.

[jay41]

I like it. Has a reprise type of feel to it, especially since it has the same lyrics as Wake Up, I can't wait to see what they do with this song live.

[CornellDMBfan]

It's lyrics are practically identical to Wake Up so I'm betting it's an outro/ reprise sort of deal.
are you referring to just the clip, or the whole song? I think this is sort of a la BTCS with a reprise after the actual song.

[ModestMouse2003]

I like it. Has a reprise type of feel to it, especially since it has the same lyrics as Wake Up, I can't wait to see what they do with this song live.


:thumbsup

agreed. very peaceful

[rastawolf]

I think it sounds alright, tough to judge from just a clip. To me it sounds like the end of the song. If this is in fact the end of the song or the ending is similar to the way this clip ends, it would segue perfectly, I mean straight into, LIOG. Listen to the clip & right where it ends, after a 1-2 second pause, imagine Dave's guitar coming in with the intro to LIOG. I think it'd be sweet, def something I'd like to see this summer. :thumbsup

[Noles20]

To me it sounds like an outro

I think you just figured it out for me. That is what it sounds like. I like it and it is certainly intriguing (sp?).

[walrusstapler]

are you referring to just the clip, or the whole song? I think this is sort of a la BTCS with a reprise after the actual song.

From what I've heard of the clips and the placement on the tracklist (according to Billboard it follows Wake Up) I'm guessing it's an outro. I agree it seems BTCS-ish. I think the format of the album will be similar too, but as far as the song quality goes... we'll see http://antsmarching.org/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

[goochylittlepig]

It's on the WH web site now.
im curious to see if they press on with the album after these next few that we've already heard, or if theyre gonna stop at some point. i wish theyd get to the "new" stuff soon ;-) im so damn excited, but i can only play the clips so many times before they make me crazy

[2stepsoright]

I actually like this clip better than all of the others.
The soft,quiet feel is good.

[saloman]

I have to agree with the general concensus. This clip is a soft part of something bigger.

[ethaxton]

Can anyone post the lyrics...I cant make out some of the words. Really like the peaceful tone of this song.

[CornellDMBfan]

I have to agree with the general concensus. This clip is a soft part of something bigger.
:thumbsup good way to put it

[Warehouse21]

I don't think it's an outro or a bridge because Dave repats the phrase "OUT OF MY HANDS", which just so happens to be the title of the song. I think this is a great clip. I think this is the song where Dave is on piano. Its very different, and vey melodic. Seeing this live could be awesome, Especially if Dave plays piano.

[jay41]

Can anyone post the lyrics...I cant make out some of the words. Really like the peaceful tone of this song.

This is what I come up with:

now our finest hour rise
see the pig dressed in his finest fine
and all the believers stand behind and smile
watch the day lights up in fire
looking down from here
it's out of my hands for now
on my window ledge
it's out of my hands for now
so let me in
let me in

Exactly...I love it.

[JiMiThiNG277]

agreed, it is sweet ass sweet....kinda gives me the chills actually

Dont ask me why since they dont sound anything similar but the outro for Spoon reminds me of this

[cherone21]

its going to be a bridge between stand up and everybody wake up. I like it, sounds like waste from phish.

[road_designer]

I like those lyrics. a lot.

EDIT: reading it a second time makes me think of the Pope . . .

yeah, they are great lyrics but are they so great that they must be used in two songs on the same album?

there's obviously something more going on than what we can tell from a series of 50 second clips

[chrisandiego]

So what clips do we have left from the originally leaked clips? Is Wake Up the only one left- the we get brand new clips?? The suspense is killing me, I'll just have to wait until next week

[CornellDMBfan]

So what clips do we have left from the originally leaked clips? Is Wake Up the only one left- the we get brand new clips?? The suspense is killing me, I'll just have to wait until next week
EWU is the only one left . . . and there's just one more day in the week . . . makes me wonder if we'll hear the others next week, or if we'll have to wait until the release date. seems to me that if we were going to be getting clips of the others, they also would have leaked with the rest

[dmbkristin]

I would be surprised if we didn't get the other clips. They shared clips for the whole SD album.

Why the other clips weren't found was probably because they hadn't loaded all the clips onto the server or something like that.

[standup]

could someone please post this clip?

[road_designer]

good point . . . you're probably right

[CornellDMBfan]

try the new album website . . . otherwise only WH members are allowed to view these clips

[mryark]

This song has the same feel as The Last Stop Reprise. I think 100% that it is an outro for Stand Up, as on the track listing, Out Of My Hands is right after Stand Up. If this is the song with Dave on the piano, then I remember hearing that the full band joins in after a rather "slow" beginning (the song does start off with just Dave on a piano, similar to this clip). IMO, Out Of My Hands starts off slow, and then builds up, with the whole band joining in...

Why would it be an outro to Stand Up when it shares the same words with Everybody Wake Up?

[Noles20]

I love the clip of Wake Up, so if it is tied into that song, I think it will be awesome and quite possibly may appease the fans that haven't been happy with the new stuff. (I am not one of those who are unhappy)

[mryark]

Why would it be an outro to Stand Up when it shares the same words with Everybody Wake Up?

My bad. I meant an outro to Everybody Wake Up, NOT Stand Up.

[DMBand520]

Does anyone else think this song sounds like it would fit on a NIN album (i'm thinking of The Fragile specifically) ... probably just b/c of the piano and the style/sound of the drums and the low tone of dave's voice

Maybe I'm crazy, lol .... Its just the first thing i thought of when i heard it.

[Scotty_L]

Actually, according to the reviews from the listening parties, I think the song you are referring to is Steady As We Go.

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Maybe it's an INTRO into EWU. Just throwing something out there as a possibility.

[mryark]

Haha thanks. Can't seem to get my facts straight today...

[Mave Datthews]

heeeeeeey i like it :thumbsup ... very mellow sound - either that or it's the outro, but why would they choose the outro for the preview clip? oh well...

[CrashInto41]

heeeeeeey i like it :thumbsup ... very mellow sound - either that or it's the outro, but why would they choose the outro for the preview clip? oh well...

thats what i was wondering

[yonono911]

I personally love this nice tone. As do I with the other clips. If you listen to all these clips one after another you can really see how the album might kinda come together. The different sounds of each song seem to compliment eachother. But they are only clips, so we'll see.

[CornellDMBfan]

the way that Stefan plays the bass at the end reminds me of The Dreaming Tree . . . the song itself sounds nothing like it, obviously, but I just liked that bass at the end. I really like this clip, whatever the hell it is

[ishuman]

When I first understood the lyrics I thought that Dave is singing from God's perspective (the Pope is a good insight too!) I like how Dave is brave enough to sing from that perspective and I think it explains his submissive, soft, contemplative, pleading singing voice--Great tune!

[MistreatedLewis]

This is the one of the two best clips I think. I can't wait to hear this song. I think it will be the new Dreaming Tree.

[DJ Naga Pampa]

:freak last time i check i thought it was after everybody wakeup which makes since because it has pretty much the same lyrics

[AlaskaFox]

I actually like this clip better than all of the others.
The soft,quiet feel is good.

:thumbsup - My favourite of all the clips. It's such a great tune. I can't wait to hear the rest of it!

[luvdmb1]

I am a member of the warehouse but when I click on it, Media Player pops up but I can't get any audio. Does anyone have any suggestions why that wouldn't be working?

[JiMiThiNG277]

could be because of audio drivers conflicting or more than likely you should try upgrading your windows media player

If none of those work, are you using IE or some other browser? (Please tell me you are using Firefox and not IE ;) )

[jaromc]

I may be completely off on this, but from the lyrics, and as some others have mentioned, they seem to be kinda political. About the people in power and such being "Pig dressed in his finest fine" and "as the day lights up with fire." In everybody wake up, I see it as dave saying just that, for everyone to wake up and not be blind to these people in power. The song is very upbeat and energetic. But in "Out of my Hands," they have those same lyrics but instead of everybody wake up afterwards, he says "It's out of my hands for now" and it has a very mellow feel. So its kinda like in the first song is telling everyone to do something about it (like he wrote it before the election), the following song is kinda like what he thought after the election, saying theres not much we can do for now and we just got to hang in there for now (its out of my hands for not). I don't know if this makes any sense to anyone else, and i apologize for that, but just random thoughts as to the repeated lyrics. :)

:thumbsup

I was going to say this too.

I love this clip. It sounds like it could fit on a classic DMB album, but it also sounds fresh and new.

[Mickey Carson]

Out of the clips we've heard so far...this has been the only one that has caused me to keep going back to the WH site throughout the day so I can hear it again.

[luvdmb1]

IE? Firefox? Sorry...kinda computer illiterate sometimes. I will to upgrade my Media Player and see if that works.

[taphntm]

it's pretty nice. I think it could be better w/ less piano

edit: I wonder if this was the one where dave played the piano, whoops.

[MistreatedLewis]

:thumbsup

I wholeheartedly agree.

[luvdmb1]

Well, I installed Windows Media Player 10. Still won't work. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait until Stand Up comes in the mail

[bumchick14]

:thumbsup :thumbsup same here. I have liked all the clips, but this one I have been listening to on repeat for a (pathetically) long time

[granny21]

i love that piano

[meatball41]

edit: I wonder if this was the one where dave played the piano, whoops.

:thumbsup Exactly what I was thinking. It seems simple enough to where it wouldn't trip him when he plays it live. I know its not a REAL long time, but if you notice during that entire 50 second clip you never here his guitar, which points even moreso that he may be on the keys on this one.

[msb3079]

NIN is my fav band besides DMB... and i can see what you mean sort of but sort of not. it's not as "deep" sounding as NIN. but it has it's similarities... i originally thought it sounded like Live (the band) but i now take that back completely. it kind of reminds me of Radiohead. it has a Radiohead type vibe, IMO. it is very unlike "older DMB" but in a good way.

i like it. still getting more excited! i like that we have this serious type clip as well as the up beat funky type clips - seems like it will be a well rounded album.
:bounce

[dmb2much40]

this is my favorite clip. love the piano. reminds me a lot of light lift me up. it'll be interesting to see what they do with this one live :thumbsup

[Sniper15]

Awesome song.

[2stepnstone]

I like it...reminded me a bit of the outro after Spoon on BTCS, only now the banjo is Fonzi's bass, and the piano is dave's guitar, and a bit more drummin, and the vocal tone sounds similar...or maybe I'm just really high! Is it may 10th yet? Damn....

~Peace

[Noles20]

Is it may 10th yet? Damn....


:thumbsup

[killymagee2000]

This is definitely the most promising clip I've heard.

[Rockyall107]

april has gone by relatively quick for me...CANT WAIT FOR MAY!!

[eevulhomer]

Personally, I don't know what to think of this song. I don't dislike it at all, yet it doesn't really get me excited. I don't know, I liked the Smooth Rider, Old Dirt Hill, and Stand Up clips a lot better than this one. I hope that this is a reprsie, which it probably is b/c from the clip I don't think there is enough going on in the song. Overall, not bad though.

[DomM41]

reminds of me #40 for some reason, shorter version of course. Love it

[yanks7533]

my whole thign with it is, will it ever be plaayed alone? no i dont think so...i think everbody wake up is goign to be a 10-15 minute monster

[jfreed009]

:thumbsup Exactly what I was thinking. It seems simple enough to where it wouldn't trip him when he plays it live. I know its not a REAL long time, but if you notice during that entire 50 second clip you never here his <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=guitar" onmouseover="window.status='guitar'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">guitar</a>, which points even moreso that he may be on the keys on this one.

sounds possible, but i think it was confirmed that the song dave plays piano on is steady as we go although i could be wrong. i hope OoMH is played as a reprise to Everybody Wake up, and i hope they add it onto the end of the song live ala Last Stop w/ the reprise.

[TobiasClown]

i love it and it is my favorite so far
for soem reason it has that soft feel of a song like let you down or pay for what you get imo which i love
may 10th is going to be an awesome day!

why would there be a song called out of my hands on it if it were a reprise.
i can see where it would be a kick clown reprise but i think it will be a whole song that brings in the band at the end. who knows! we will find out may 10th

Jack

[dmb_aus]

A lot of positive comments on the song - what could you expect coming from a DMB forum?! But nice to see that some people are giving their critique, and explaining why.

Me? I like it - partly cause it carries on being a different sounding song. Not something you're going to hear on the radio (definitely not in Australia!) it upholds what I love about DMB - the variable types of sound that spring from the creative minds of some extremely talented people.

As always, reserving final judgement until I crank it on the stereo (thru DVD of course)!.

[demoman1596]

the song is a lot like Little Thing or Too High. People have mentioned its just an extended outro mini song after Stand Up.
It's on the tracklist after Everybody Wake Up, not Stand Up. Honestly, the songs (Stand Up and EWU) are entirely different and yet I continue to see people mix them up.

:lol

[kmdaly]

I like it..............................but Peter Gabriel anyone

[drumdawgone]

dave for pre-zo-dent?....lol its almost as if dave is gonna make play at politics.

[msb3079]

i can't stop listening to this clip now... SO GOOD

[Mspacman14]

My friend who was at a listening party said that some songs are like seguayes<--spelling?--(a la BTCS, but instead of intro's and outro's they have actual names) I bet this is one of those. I like it. Now I am getting psyched for the album.

[msb3079]

seguayes

haha

segues

i'm not maiking fun... it just made me laugh out loud .. HAHA

but yeah thats good info and what i was thinking... i'm still stoked for it!

[Mspacman14]

You know what's funny? That's how I spelled it originally, and then I was like "No, that can't be right..." So I edited it. I figured if I spelled it phonetically, people would know what I was saying, instead of being like "Segee? Seguoo? What the hell is that?"

[Keith]

so they only way to hear this song is through the warehouse website? I couldn't find it on the new studio website.

[TobiasClown]

reallly loving this song

[Rippy]

awesome clip

[Jordan#41]

Sounds a lot like When the world ends (matrix version)

[MistreatedLewis]

I like it..............................but Peter Gabriel anyone


Good. Peter Gabriel is awesome. I'm glad Dave knows this and tries to sing like him now.

[bperkins]

I cannot stop listening to this clip.....great stuff. Pig dressed in his finest fine.....love it.

I was listening to Monkey Man today and it really remind me of this one. Especially from the 5:00 minute mark going forward.

[sargedmb]

I think that it is an amazing clip. It's like a more mature Cry Freedom to me

[chalktwo]

april has gone by relatively quick for me...CANT WAIT FOR MAY!!

Same here. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

[Firedncin8nancy]

best clip so far... could be a beautiful outro if coupled with Everybody Wake Up and would be a killer segue into another song...

also... anyone else really excited to hear the song Stand Up live? the vocal stylings are so extraordinarily new for dave and i think it sounds amazing

[haildmb]

someone may have said something like this already elsewhere, I have no idea, but I think this song is about Bush and that whole mess.

[marco j]

....or him leaving the band...........

[MCosta]

Dave is a genius.

Doesn't anyone think that this is a song from the perspective from those several people that were trapped in WTC and decided to jump instead of dying in the fire ? The repetitive verse from Everybody Wake Up lead me to this conclusion.

[MistreatedLewis]

I doubt that's what he actually had in mind, but I think it's an interesting interpretation...

[jdmbellen]

this song is amazing. well, amazing as far as stand up songs go. the emotion, the power, the lyrics are at least somewhat meaningful, the piano..i like it all.

[MistreatedLewis]

:thumbsup

I think it's actually one of the best studio recordings the band has ever done. So simple and perfect.

[OCMarsh]

:thumbsup

Yep, an instant classic.



There is no way this thread should be off the front page. So much to love about this song. The natural feel, the way Dave seems to struggle with the lyrics or to find the right words, the emotion. Tell me the last time you have heard this much emotion conveyed in a song. Maybe some of the first live Gravediggers.


After all the smoke clears this song will be sitting on top.

PS. I hope it evolves and grows a jam live. I could imagine the full band coming in at the end when it's just Carter drumming.

[MistreatedLewis]

Yeah... I think this could have a Dreaming Tree-ish kind of jam at the end for sure. I'd love it.

[CrashInto41]

Yep, an instant classic.

:thumbsup This was the first song that really caught my attention, I love it.

[wishyouwerehere]

when he says something about looking down at her from a window ledge or something i get images of the crash video...its almost like a sequel (almost..)

[marco j]

By far the best song on the album. Good job Dave I can tell this is one YOU fought to have on this album.

[Noles20]

In parts, this song reminds me of Good-Bye Cruel World by Pink Floyd. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I wouldn't guess that it would be a lot of people's favorite song, which it seems to be.

[Nevarial]

Nobody thinks his singing is crap on this one?

It kinda reminds me of Hurt by NIN. Or with a jam it would remind me of BWBF.



And no, no one else thinks the singing is bad. It's the rawness that makes it perfect.

i think his singing on this is probably the BEST on the album

Without a doubt. No computers. No filters. Just Dave, a lyric sheet (maybe) and a microphone

[marco j]

I agree this is simply one of the best pieces of soul I've heard from him in a while.

I've heard it's about politics and such but I don't know I get the feeling Dave is talking about himself and his inner conflicts. Just listen to when he says " I can't just walk away........." the music drops out like Dave left the band. Then he says "It would be nice to walk away but he's afraid". Man simply amazing.

[Nikos]

absoultely amazing.....

emotion pours from it...

I'll give it a month until the "general population" comes to this consensus too.

2nd best behind Steady As We Go.

[MistreatedLewis]

I still say its this album's Dreaming Tree

[geekdork]

It is alot like Nine inch nails, "something I can never have" in my opinion.
Very simmilar piano and all; to me, it's the best song on the album.

edit: wait a minute, I see that Marsh said it's kind of like Hurt, I think I was confused by two of my favorite NIN songs... I'll have to listen to them again...

[marco j]

When dave says "walk away" the first time and then the piano goes silent..................
...for just long enough and drops you back in .............perfect!

I know about 6 NIN songs. I'll let you decide which NIN song it is most like.

[Mspacman14]

I just wanted to reiterate that this is my favorite song on the album.
And I searched.

Good call. My favorite of the ballads. My favorite of the rockers is tied between Hunger and Wake Up.

[Mspacman14]

Yeah, I'm saying that if this was played live (which I don't think it ever will be but anything is possible) I would maybe cry.

[jason41]

I really hope this gets some play live, I like it a lot. Maybe in the first slot of an encore or try and find little fills for boyd and roi. Definitly one of my top 3 on the album.

[jason41]

Maybe this has been brought up but I haven't seen anything, has anyone else noticed in the booklet with the album, Out of My Hands says "a home recording" next to it. Any ideas what this means? I was assuming everything was done at the new studio, maybe I'm missing something though.

[Designer43]

It's the best song on the album.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

[seekup755]

what does he whisper at the 1:12 mark?

[webbah]

My question is - why does he use the lyric "Our Finest Hour Arrives" in Out of My Hands at least 2-3 times but that is the secondary title to Everybody Wake Up? I'm confused - was it a title mistake????

[webbah]

OK - I was able to semi-answer my own question seeing that lyric in both songs but if anyone wants to expand on that?! Go ahead.

Also - want to say I LOVE how Carter fades in and out on this song. Great stuff. :thumbsup

EWU and OOMH are the core of this album for me. Perfectly compliment each other.

[dmblynny]

at least a thread about this song shouldn't leave the first page. It's the best song on the album.I agree... it's so heart-felt and I love the beginning... not to mention it speaks what I'm thinking about a certain aspect of my life right now... I can't get enough of it.

[dmblynny]

what does he whisper at the 1:12 mark?
sounds like the beginning of 'itsoutof' ... something like that... or last night i was thinking maybe he's so caught up in the emotion of the song that he has to stop himself before he sings the next line? that's just my dumbway of thinking tho.:p

[dmblynny]

sorry for triple post but I REALLY hope to hear this song live...

[PeteSeltz]

did anyone else notice that in the booklet credits next to out of my hands it has "a home recording" does anyone now the meaning behind this

[nickcua]

Listening on the way to work today I discovered the "...our finest hour arrives" and "see the pig dressed in his finest fine" lines being in both EWU and OOMH...I think that this a most magnificent outro for EWU. It could be about Dave's inner conflicts but I think EWU is all about America/Bush with its bombing and hating (obviously:) and then OOMH is from the pope's point of view. The pope feels that as he is dying that the problems with the christian/muslim conflicts are out of his hands. OOMH talks about coming to the window ledge and how it would be nice to walk away; both could be attributed to the pope. Hopefully at VH1 storytellers he'll talk about it...
