By the way, I think we should make it a rule that no one can change their votes, because a lot of people like to do in situations like this.

Enough chit-chat, we need more votes! There are 2 songs with 5 votes each and 3 more with 4 votes.

I don't think Frank wrote this song thinking "I got to write a song about Holland", except to have it serve as a backdrop. It's really about one rocker seeing another of his ilk in a really sorry state and remembering his glory days. A pretty sad song, which makes you think "what a sad old world", but finally you console yourself by not crying that way.
The Ratskellar was a (now closed) legendary rock club in Boston.
I think the talking part in Sad Old World is fun. Good curveball from Frank. You podcasters are awfully tough. ; ) |

I see what Denis means about 'Holland Town'
''The north sea now is so full of twisters''
I believe that there aren't really twisters in the north sea.

Isn't it unusually even at the moment? And I like all the songs that are left a whole lot, so almost anything that goes is gonna annoy me somewhat. (Also, I thought the Real El Rey would get at least one vote this round. It doesn't seem like the kind of track everyone will like. Tactics?) |

And need I mention the gorgeous pedal steel, played by none other than the Duke of Fender himself (am I allowed to call him that or is that just a Nashville insiders term?)!

Me too! No, I LOVE it!! And the talking part is one of the best parts, besides the opening line! Jesus Christ, you people! Get rid of "Fare Thee Well, for fuck's sake! I mean, don't get me wrong, I like it and it works very well as an album closer, but as an individual song, it's certainly not one of the best out of all the remaining songs, which are, if I may say, all damn-near, if not, masterpieces.

It [the talking part in Sad Old World] seems cliched and irrelevant. Him talking like Mulholland seemed awesome. Still, I'll put up with it for the choruses.

Come on, it's Frank having fun, what's wrong with it? Reminds me of him singing the Perry Mason theme, or imitating Will Mulholland.
[edit: I was talking about Sad Old World]

I like the song EXCEPT that part. In fact, that might be my least favorite moment on an FB CD, ever.

Are you voting for IJNYM or being punny here? :)
I agree that I don't like the "Hello - I mean, you" part either. But the choruses of this are great, very Beatlesy - esp. that bassline.

Those 3 plus Fare Thee Well. The fifth one was All Around The World but they didn't keep it for FMRM either. It was terribly boring, to be honest.

My vote is for Don't Cry That Way
Pardon my ignorance, but which ones are the Honeycomb leftovers? I've figured out that they include Kiss My Ring, Where the Wind is Going and I guess Highway to Lowdown...are there others on FMRM? Are there others that didn't make FMRM? Thanks... |

Vilainde: How is "below the sea level" so cliche? It certainly doesn't come up all that often in songs. Or are you displeased by the Holland-sea level reference as you find that it is over cited? Oh, and I think the C7 works for me (as the 7th hints at the Bb chord while simultaneously moving us forward eventually to the F chord resulting in a pleasing sort of tension) and both Down to You and Holland Town have really cool endings =).
Heh... And I love It's Just Not Your Moment!
The "sea level" thing to me sounds too much like Frank thought "let's see, what's special about Holland? I know, it's below the sea level! And they do drugs too! Oh, and they have bikes! Let's cram all this in my song!" Good thing we escaped the lines about "You visited a windmill" and "You saw a tulip field".
