    I love this album!   Not only is it musically brilliant, it's visually stunning.  They could blast "No Stillness and No Rain" from the heavens forever and I would die happy....................Now, more than ever, I can't wait to see him in Banff!

    Change is good, donkey!

    Ordered my copy of Between the Beautifuls a couple of weeks ago online.

    Got home on Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to see it in my mailbox.

    Sounds great so far, but haven't had a chance to digest it.

    Re: Between the Beautifuls is out today!

    I was a bit surprised with the album. In an interview after the relaese of Starlings, Hawksley said that he had wrote two full albums . One a mellow introspectve album (Treefull of Starlings), the other was more of a " hard rock album". The last two times I saw Hawksley with the wolves, he performed two new songs. One was a fantastick guitar heavy song with a verse that was something like "can you see me flower". I was expecting the new album to include those songs and others that were similar. The title should have tipped me off that this was not the "rock album" that was spoken of. Oh well, a few of the songs are starting to grow on me. Piano Blink is not one of them.

     

    Cheers

    I think it's great, but don't have a great deal to say as I haven't properly digested it yet.  Some wonderful lyrics, as ever.  Yey new Hawksley!

    Re: Between the Beautifuls is out today!

    I bought it from itunes two days ago, and have listened to the whole album four or five times. Immediately I loved the first two tracks, and several others. I had reservations about one or two of the songs. However, with past HW albums, I often raised a brow with some of the songs, and low and behold those tracks ended up being my favorites once I got to know the album better. So I don't dare judge them yet. The beutiful thing about HW, is that his music has a richness and depth that lasts, and for that sometimes you have to enter the water slowly. So far, I love the record, and I know I will love it more as I listen more.

    Got it in the mail on Tuesday and I'm loving it so far.

     

    Well, maybe not Piano Blink so much.

    the canadian record company didn't want the rock album (Los Manlicious) so he had to make BTB.

     Los manlicious will be out soon


    if you can dream it, you can do it!

    Re: Between the Beautifuls is out today!

    I am surprised to hear HW fans not like 'Piano Blink'. In my opinion, It is to this album what 'Smoke' was to Lover Fighter. Different than the other songs. The manlicious version is produced differently (like 'Smoke'), the other version has the piano melody more prominent, and it sits nicely in the track. And vocally HW is brilliant in both. I like the song a lot, and I think it complete's the record. Is has a retro/funk/soul feel to it. There is a lot of variety on this album, which is one of the great things about any HW album.

    Re: Between the Beautifuls is out today!

    All I've listened to are the free songs which are on the website as I can't.. buy... things right now.

     And I like Piano Blink, reminds me of old world China, not the pollutey kind, though a little bit of the 5th storey window, lit in a long hot street with an indefinable sky? And blowing blossoms? And movie blue? Or something else? Rainy days and bright ones and outside and inside all together in the Tingylinagaling... this is just a memory and mostly an errant construction of it in my head.

     
    "I get too nervous I'm lost in this hearbreak" Achey, breaky? One of the two. Anyways, when I first heard it I couldn't stop singing that bit. Totally fuckin awesome man! Is one of the rules of the forum no swearing? Cause I felt it necessary for expression, though I guess I could or should've thought of a better word. As for the no-nudity Surprise, I think Hawksley should review that policy. :P I know it's hard to pull all the strings at the right speed and gentleness in all your connections with people, but I think hawksleyworkman.com should be a place of nature art, though clothes are nice... Especially considering the temperature... but b. hawksley's drawings? well... anyways...

     As for the city is a drag

    yes it is, a dirty rag

    people should recognize it, change it somehow, leave i guess but then where would we all be? Among the cows... in my case, I think. At least for the first few hundreds of miles. Freezing I guess, no, building a shelter, yes, all together? Yes!

    I'm excited for those days I hope they come then maybe I'd have some proper shoes.

     
    And all the trees are hers... don't know about ALL of them I've met a few wise old men trees they are such nice, oh. Thinking wrong but always right somehow because a bright moment flares by the river!!! Though they still stand by the sea.

     I'm excited to hear the album.

    I agree with someone around here about entering the water slowly, also appreciating songs later on.
