spell for a weakling heart

[sarpedon]

this and a nervous tic motion of the head to the left by andrew bird sound almost EXACTLY the same, anyone else notice?

[meryl]

nahhh. aside from the looping pedal and the violin there's very few similarities between FF and Bird anyway.

then again, i haven't heard Spell For A Weak Heart in a really long time and don't have the EP, so i guess i can't judge...

[sarpedon]

its the violin line from nervous tic that really does it, especially in the live version he uses a near exact plucking pattern.

[meryl]

heh, i managed to stream it from some obscure blog and now i can definitively say: well, er, i disagree if this were a real life conversation this would probably involve much humming and gesticulating, but since i'm not so hot with musical jargon, i can't really put into words why they sound different to me. i can see the passing similarity though, and i can't say i've seen either song live. touché...

look for andrew bird and they have a great quality one

[karpe]

I don't see a similarity, but people have in the past -- Owen I think was gonna put it on HAGH but someone talked him out of it for this reason.

Nervous tic is my favorite AB song, though.

I can't really say they feel the same.

[karpe]

Addendum! That last sentence should read with a 'to me' at the end, my fault.

[rue]

... uh.

If I may, ... what the hell are you talking about? This doesn't sound anything like 'A Nervous Tic Motion of a Head to the Left.'
