Ok folks, we all know one of the reasons we love Black is because of his transitions in his songs. You're Such A Wire, Calistan, and Everything Is New are some of my fave's. Tell us yours.

Switches in The Cult Of Ray's title track are death-defying. Wait a minute, prog rock never ever sounded that good.

Melted rock into metal

Yeah,

So Hard to Make Things Out has a hair raising transition. Beautiful.

there are soooooo so many - so many that make you think, "how did he just do that? how did we get HERE from THERE?"

some of the biggies off the top of my head are

The Sad Punk
So Hard To Make Things Out
Jane the Queen of Love
My Life Is In Storage (acoustic version is especially pronouned)

This doesn't really qualify but right now I'm hooked on the switch from chorus into second verse on Tight Black Rubber.

Tame definitely, So Hard To Make Things Out and the earlier Sad Punk and I bet this one's never been mentioned on the forum, Two Spaces. Shifts as sophisticated as Cole Porter's taste in cravats.

BLAST OFF has a couple really nice sonic gear-shifts.

'....and i will lay beside a stream, and i'll look into it'

That section right there in Bartholomew. I don't know if it qualifies as a 'transition', at least compared to some of the big spectacular changes like in Los Angeles etc.., but there is something special about he way the verse flows into the chorus, i love it.

I listen to that song over and over just because I love Frank's voice as he sings "Don't cry, dont' start,don't fret your poor heart,you know it's just another long black letter day". I was hooked the first time I heard it.

I don't know if Tame would qualify for exactly what this thread is about but his voice... you know how he sings in a voice sounding like a whisper (Hips like Cinderella) then he screams TAME... I LOVE IT!!!

Mr.Bisquitdoughhead, you just reminded me of an absolutely cherry
transition: Black Letter Day. WOW!!

"Don't cry, dont' start,don't fret your poor heart,you know it's just another long black letter day". I love this part. The blend of transitions a masterpiece.

In the Time of My Ruin is probably my favorite, I could never remember which song the "some pain feels good" part was in because the beginning sounds so different.
The "falling all around" or whatever part has to be my favorite thing on FMRM.


And you?
