Should #27 be Renamed?

[Joyride4136]

SSIA, and what should it be?

[ant_marching41]

I think so.

"By me then" or "Hope you'll be by me then" would work for me.

[rball1127]

no fuck that its my lucky number

[crashintonickdm]

no. leave it as is. its fine.

[Caveat Emperor]

Leave it.

I hope every time they play it in studio, they compare it to songs like #41 , #40, #36, #34 and it motivates them to be better.

[patricksinger6]

yeah they should rename it, because it doesn't mean the same thing as all the other numbered songs (41 40 36 34) IMO. but if it doesn't get put on the album i don't really care it can stay w/ that name

[kerplunk!]

No. Any other name would suck.

[kerplunk!]

I think so.

"By me then" or "Hope you'll be by me then" would work for me.

Clumsy names.

[manninta]

I don't think it's a big a deal but the numerical association is unlike every other numeric song. I just don't like it as much because it was the 27th song wrote in a under par sessions. Instead of including bad tracks on the count it should be in the first five. There is no way that 26 songs written before it were as good as 27. Maybe a handful but that is it. just because Dave strums a few chords, of Boyd plucks a lick does not mean it is a DMB song.

[ant_marching41]

Clumsy names.
Maybe the latter, but "By Me Then" is much better IMO.


But if they kept it as is, I'd be fine with that. Its a great song, and the title is irrelevent.

[number4ty1]

In the arms of a woman !

but if changed "By Me Then (Again and Again)"

[GinaNMU]

No that's my birthday!

[tallfire8]

Change it to "Sick of You"

[zdaddy]

what would you name it that doesnt sound like diahrea?

[TapNorris]

That's what I think #27 sounds like too! From the first time I heard it last summer I kept calling it 'that O Brother Where Art Thou song'.

[RobRoy286]

To The Arms of a Woman.fuck no. that's one thing i absolutely hate about #27. "in the arms of a woman" has got to be the cheesiest, most cliche line to use in a country song.

[fourtyone#40]

People say the word epic is overused around here, and I agree, but calling lines cheesy and cliche is closely catching up

[amoore624426]

rename it 27 1/2

[LowEnd_Theory]

Nope. Its fine how it is

[CoffeeJanitor]

Woman (Arms)I don't know why but I laughed.:lol

[GLR87]

calling lines cheesy and cliche is closely catching up

well mostly all the new dmb songs are...so what do you expect people to say

[dmbfan4ever]

change it to ____________. maybe then the song will dissapear with the name.

[SeanMH]

No, its ok as is even though it doesnt follow the same reasoning as the other numbered songs.


If it was to be renamed it would have to be named something that relates to a western-country theme, cuz thats what I think of when I hear the song.

[spoot388]

I remember the one time Dave introduced it, it was in the middle of the tour, and he said something along the lines of "This is called 'hope you be by me then', but most of you already call it #27, so thats fine too"

I don't think they'll change the name of it because (with this band) the is a name. Its not like "hmmm" where it was just something random to put down. they gave it the name #27.

[webbo_5]

Woman (Arms)

:lol

[ant_marching41]

#27 (For it)

[DmBand801]

#27 (For it)

:lol

[warehouseguy]

keep it as is...

[warehouseguy]

but if there is a name, hmmm... "By Me Then" ... or just "By Me"

[Noles20]

As A Young Man

[codyk09]

i like to let the band name the songs

[sir iggius]

nope. too used to it now being named #27

[DerekJTR2]

Nothing good ever comes from songs that include parentheses.:lol

Stay (Wasting Time)

[RobRoy286]

Stay (Wasting Time)yeah...i personally like the song, but you're walking on thin ice calling that a good song 'round these parts.

[dmbmuskie]

Renamed and reworked

[spoot388]

yeah...i personally like the song, but you're walking on thin ice calling that a good song 'round these parts.


its a good song no matter where you are. it just depends on when and how often its played. hearing it 10 shows in a row doesn't make it a bad song. it makes it a song you've heard too many times and are now tired of hearing. but its still a good song.

[SeanMH]

its my fav number. so no.

[DerekJTR2]

How bout "Rashawn Goes On a Diet?"

Think about how lame it would be to call #41 "In This Way" "I Will Go" "Ghosts Come Back" "Come and See"

#27 is #27.

Good point.

[born 1991]

If I had heard #27 in the early stages, I probably would've wanted it renamed just because of the chronological confusion. I'm cool with it now though.

[TobiasClown]

do we know of any significance of the #27?

or is it just for kicks?

not complaining, just curious

[born 1991]

If you're referring to why it has its name, apparently it was the 27th song Dave wrote on his new song-making rampage. It's probably to be funny too.

If you're talking about the song itself, I have no clue about why it was written.

[tosssweep]

Wasn't there a rumor quite a while ago that the song title had a connection to some brand of cigarettes? Maybe it could be renamed "27s" or something...

[ant_marching41]

#27 is #27.
It's easy to say that now, but if Dave origionally named #41 as "Come and See," there's no doubt in my mind that it would be accepted by the fanbase.

Same applies to #27.

[jaymas9]

The band already has a numbered system when their songs are named with numbers. Obviously #27 is not the 27th song he has written. If it were then I would support it being it's name. As it is not, it needs to be renamed.

[chumm41]

Rain Delay ?

[McBong]

People & Raptors

[vklugf]

It would've be fun if Crash Into Me was called "Crash (Into Me)" :-D

[sdaltons]

i voted no, but i like the idea of "Sick of You" if they're gonna change it to something. its better than "By Me Then" IMO

[Malaguy]

i'm too used to it as #27 now. plus it's been officially released as such - Piedmont Park.

[WolfmanDMB]

call it:

shredded beef burrito, cheese enchilada, soft taco, rice

thats the #27 at my local mexican restaurant.

[Nexx]

i'm too used to it as #27 now. plus it's been officially released as such - Piedmont Park.

Although not as commonly available, they also released bonnaroo 04 with GGT as "thing".

If they reworked it enough to be different I could see a new title, but I like #27.

[efraser77]

How about "As I See Fit"

[Lorentzen]

No - it should not be renamed becuse Dave gave it that name just to fuck with hardcore fans that try to analyze every single little thing that the band does

[NORSEMN34]

I hope they change the name of the song. It just doesn't fall in line with the other songs with number titles (#34, #36, #40, #41).

[BigEyedFerg]

Keep it #27... please

If YMDT didn't exist, I'd say Feels Like Dying would be kinda spiffy, but #27 is infinitely cooler

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

Those Big Boys.

[proudestmnky]

Bittersweet Road.

[bibby1044]

I hope they change the name of the song. It just doesn't fall in line with the other songs with number titles (#34, #36, #40, #41).
Then we could rename it #133.

[rnieves]

That's the way I feel too.

[rnieves]

I kinda like that better. :lol

[CornellDMBfan]

"in the arms of a woman" has got to be the cheesiest, most cliche line to use in a country song.

correction - second most cliche. you forgot about: *twang twang twang* "my lass left me, stole my truck, and ran over my dog" *twang twang twang*

[Julia Roberts]

Find My Way Home. Yes, it is lame, but so is a song named after a number pulled out of thin air with no meaning.

But as others have said, the name #27 is here to say. It was listed as #27 on Piedmont so it's official. Unless they totally gut the song and remake it ala #36 >> Everyday.

[JimiThing3403]

leave it as #27

we need a new numbered song staple in dmb land

[dmb5570]

if it gets recorded as is.....leave it.......but hopefully if it gets reworked they will give it a new name.

[ant_marching41]

Sorry guys, but all of the titles that have been mentioned suck.

"By Me Then" is the only title that works.

IMO.

[bradshaw06]

leave it 27

[RobRoy286]

Those Big Boys.I like the first few versions where they put a big emphasis on that part. "I watched those BIG - BOYYYSSS." They kinda took that off though :(.

[Busted/Stuff]

I like the name....

[dmb5570]

I like the first few versions where they put a big emphasis on that part. "I watched those BIG - BOYYYSSS." They kinda took that off though :(.


Yea, i enjoyed that part also and was sad to see it go.

[xcrashintome]

"be by me then" or "feeling feels like"
#27 just doesn't go well with me for some reason.
i wouldn't be upset if they kept it that way, though
what ever floats their boat

[WolfmanDMB]

it's #27 for a reason. all these lyrical blurbs would suck for a title and dave knows that.

[bubba40]

Nah I like it as #27.

[jas230314]

They need to rerecord the song with better lyrics... and a better riff... then a better name will follow

[bubba40]

Yeah I'm starting to think I'd like to see it scrapped.

[THATEUS41]

nope

[tedies]

i dunno it seems kinda lame since all the other numbered songs were made way before it and it is lower than those. I doubt it will ever get a new name though, none of the others did

[jas230314]

27 was written for the radio. And when DMB does that, they inevitably fail. Take Stand Up for example

[DMB12705]

"Sickness"

[chr35919]

yeah: "Man of Constant Sorrow"

:thumbsup it's probably the most cliche/derivitive song dmb has made

[DMB12705]

No way! I love that song, it has a real old southern rock feel to it. It kinda reminds me of old DMB, before Everyday. And watching and hearing it evolve last tour makes me love it more. and how is this band ever going to put out a great cd, if every song they put out people "their fans" hate?


P.S. I think Can't Stop a good song too.

Average lyrics, weak guitar, no jam, no solos, no climax, and no carter reminds you of old DMB?

[lc_2000]

They should leave it, but does it really matter? Would we think differently of #41 if it had a name?

[PhishSticks40]

Now Id be okay with people liking bad songs, but Cant Stop isnt even a song......

[jimi41chicago]

Now Id be okay with people liking bad songs, but Cant Stop isnt even a song......

if it was anything other than a song... it would be a turd. a hot, sweaty, summertime, too much pizza beer turd.

[Branty]

I like it as #27. The numbering system might be different, but that name still means something. It's live another bit of DMB trivia. IMO it would have been called something else if they felt there was another named title that would suit it.

[chr35919]

"Generic Blues Song"

[DirtyDeeds449]

I was a fan of this song. Not anymore. Scrap it.

[Joyride4136]

I was a fan of this song. Not anymore. Scrap it.

reason?

[SoMuchToSay_07]

isn't it named after the cigarettes?

Obviously it has a personal meaning to Dave and isn't just a name.

[bibby1044]

isn't it named after the cigarettes?

Im pretty sure Stefan said in an interview that it was named this because it was the 27th song of the last few sessions they had.

[Sniper15]

#27 needs to be scrapped, the song sucks. It isn't near the quality of any of the new songs from 2004, 2006 or 2007. If they choose to release it I think it fits on a Dave solo album more than it does a DMB album.

[brobb]

eh, they can call it whatever they want as long as they scrap it. very boring song imo and very lyrically and musically underdeveloped.

[Joyride4136]

ive heard both of these explanations. also, i like the song and hope it stays around, whether renamed or not

[bibby1044]

I was under the impression that majority of people thought #27 was right behind Shotgun of the new songs around here, but this thread is showing more and more people hating it now a days.
