SKIPGO's A SONG A DAY thread
so we'll start at I Am One and work our way song by song through the six studio albums.
lets hear your stories about the song of the day, what you love about the song, details you love, what makes this song great. ANY insight you want to share about THE SONG of the day. lets stay focused and not deviate to other songs.... November 24: I AM ONE i love the guitar slide at the beginning right before the guitar starts riffing @ 0:35 so sharp and hair raising, you know hell's comming surprisingly their arn't alot of lyrics in this song.... but it's a hell of a rocker "I am one as you are three" are definitly carved in the top SP lyrics forever Hell of a career opener... no fluff simply "we will SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE OFF" always (still) think he says "undone" and not simply "i'm down" and shit are thos vocals SHARP, they cut,,.... this ain't no MBV (sEE you, I AM ONe) 2:25 "Am I as I seem?" what a coy motherfucker "don't you just want to?" what is this? a dare? how dare he egg us on like that Oh my god are guitar solo's AWESOME dual guitars @ 2:50 the bass breakdown lets you breath thinking you've had enough and then KICKS back in with a huge topper @ 3:25 jimmy's attack on the drums at that moment are loud enough to make you jump out of your seat! i don't know how he could have done it any better..... tomorrow > siva. |

most people cant hear this- each channel (left and right) has about 4 guitar tracks playing the same thing- one emphasizes the lows, one the mids, one the highs, and another is a good all around track.
this is the song that made me realize how good a musician billy was- his timing is impeccable. it sounds like it is one guitar take, but its several built on top of one another. every nuance is exactly the same. very impressive |

and your name would help make the thread a success. You could use a little SP discussion in your life. i agree with you bja1288 on it being samey as sive but i'm sure that's intentional it was a "new" sound at the time... so that gets translated right away "THIS IS OUR NEW SOUND" such a statement easily seems out of place 16 years later |

I guess I am One was the first SP song I heard, come to think of it. I first heard them when i borrowed gish from a friend, so unless i started with side two, I am One was the first. Not a bad first impression; Jimmy's drums pummeling my ears. |

the drum intro reminds me of cherub rock, once again starting out an album with solo drums - love the beat.
"I am one as you are three" - first time I heard the song figured it was a Christian song since its totally catholic sounding. I HATE the dual solo's live, they never sounded good and sometimes were off timed and sounded just garbled and chaotic. overall, similar to cherub rock, its a GREAT first track for an album... gets you in the mood to rock out. |
