FOL is a nothing song. At least Widow Wake My Mind has a unique if a little 'toytown' style, great keys, backing vocals and decent guitars.
No contest. |

"There's magic everywhere" is my favorite Billy lyric in forever.

FOL is worse.
I'm convinced that the only reason we have even heard FOL is because Billy needed a song for Hyundai, and it was the only commercial-sounding thing he had left from the Zeitgeist sessions that was in any kind of releasable state. As it is though, it's still an incredibly lazy and half-baked song. Say what you will about Widow, but at least Billy tried a little on it. |

get rid of the 'come on and feel our love' bit and FOL is a decent song. *** for JC kicking his usual ass as well.
WWMM has zero redeeming qualities. It sucks more than corganist. |

Widow is by far the better song of the two. Arguably it's a worse recording, but I don't think that when you balance it out that it matters. Look at it this way, if Billy were in a room with you with just an acoustic guitar, and he gives you a choice of playing either FOL or Widow on it, which would you think would sound least disastrous? |

Despite all it's other faults, WWMM wouldn't fall apart completely if it were played by different people or in a slightly different style. It actually can only improve from what we got in the studio version. But FOL is barely even a song anymore without the particular instrumentation it uses and Jimmy's drumming. Would FOL still be better if Mike Byrne drummed on it? Surely not. |

I remember when listening to FOL I thought it was really bad. But nowadays I can't even remember what FOL stands for or what the song sounds like. That's how minuscule and unmemorable FOL was. Window wake is a better song.

I grasp that you hate the song. I don't care that you hate the song. I don't care if everyone on the board hates the song. I just don't share in the irrational burning hatred for it, so I'm going to speak up when I think it is being compared unfavorably to what I see to be lesser songs. It's not because I'm out to change your or anyone else's mind on the subject, but merely because my opinion is (at the very fucking least) as valid as yours, so I'm gonna shoot my mouth off every bit as much. Get the fuck over it. I think FOL is worse than Widow. I'll continue making that case as long as I think it needs to be made. |

I just want to talk about Billy and his music. That's all I care about, man. I'm sorry my opinions on things generally run counter to yours, but I just don't understand why it is you take it so personally. So what if I have a different opinion than you on the artistic merits of WWMM or FOL and want to say so? Enough people here agree with you, so why get your panties so in a twist that one person dares to not fall over themselves telling you how right you are?
I respect your right to have whatever opinion you want, but that doesn't mean I can't or won't tell you that it is wrong or that its justifications are weak. Sorry if you can't handle it, but this is just supposed to be in the name of having a discussion like adults. Almost everything we say here is all subjective anyway. Except that WWMM > FOL. That's just a fucking fact. |
