Yeah Right

[gezurrak]

Depressing lyrics make me feel less alone, so yes, I do hope there'll be some in the other songs. Wasted on You already pleased me a bit here.

About Yeah Right... I just listened to the song once yet (I stood up to listen to it right after midnight xD). I like it, but I was very surprised by its sound. It has potential to be played on popular radio stations I guess. I will give it a proper listen later on (when I listen to music, I don't want to do other stuff next to it).
By now, I do like all the songs off the new album!

That was so unexpected and I love it. Really, I love everything about it. March 26 can't come soon enough.

My headphones are broken so I don't have equipment to make it justice. But I like what I heard. I'm so excited for this album!

Wow. Very different. I could hear all the influences everyone mentioned. Muse, Manson, Garbage and other 90s artists.

I had found the lyrics earlier in the day, but I wasn't believing that they were real until I heard the song as they are very non-Evanescence-y.

As I was listening to the verses and the melody another song kept popping into my head. I wracked my brain and not sure if this is coincidence or not, but I realized it was Seether's Nobody's Praying For Me.

Great song, feels like a thematic sequel to Snow White Queen (resurrected).

Is the first line ...


“I’m a widow”....or “I’m a weirdo”

I would think it's just a coincidence given everything, haha.

I'm so proud of Amy for taking some nice risks on these lyrics. I so desperately wanted for her to branch out of the typical Evanescence lyrics and she delivered. Can't wait for the rest of the album.

It’s “I’m a widow” which is very unusual...I would love to learn where this song came from.

She mentioned new music that was sort of the next step of WYW or CMWYS. This kind of gives me that vibe, especially with "I'm the widow". It will be nice to hear what inspired this one. Within the context of TBT, the line might be a metaphor for losing some major piece of yourself behind while embracing the bitter truth.

Amy confirmed it's a Lillywhite song!

Yeah Right was a song I started 10 years ago with our good friend Will B. Hunt (the other one! Synthesis/DTM etc). After our self titled album went in a different direction and this song was set aside, I made a promise to myself that I wasn’t going to give up on it. I knew it was worth fighting for. Perspectives shifted, lyrics got a new twist, the stars aligned and it finally clicked into place for us as a band on this record. I couldn’t have imagined it like this back then, and I’m so glad we waited for it to become what it is now. I’m so proud! Thank you Will, thank you to my ferocious band for bringing the fire and to Nick Raskulinecz for pushing us to a whole new level.

So my hunch was right all along. This song has TOD/Ev3 vibes. It reminds me of rockiness from the song If You Don't Mind and electronic vibes from Swimming Home as well as the Baby Did a Bad Thing cover which was meant to be for the 3rd group effort. Originally I thought the song from the Lillywhite sessions was only going to be Take Cover but looks like Amy is using some of that session for this effort. Makes me wonder if they do decided to go dark and electro for Ev5, then we might see the likes of:

01. Perfect Dream
02. Your Love
03. Untitled (another piece of the puzzle song
04. You've Got A Lot to Learn (Quest Love song)

- these being reserved for a solo outing or on Ev5. These don't seem to fit with The Bitter Truth theme and are more experimental and haven't been reworked from my knowledge.

05. Baby Did A Bad Thing - AL EP
06. Made of Stone - Ev3 revamp
07. Swimming Home - Ev3
08. Secret Door - Ev3
09. Hi-Lo - Synthesis revamp
10. Yeah Right - Ev4 revamp
11. Take Cover - Ev4 revamp

These were from the same session but revamped. I'm curious as to what these were originally like. My Heart is Broken also changed in tempo and instruments but this was done when they wrote What You Want and The Change.

According to math, this leaves us with 6 other songs from this session remaining plus the 4 unreleased/demos since there were 17 songs they worked on. One of these I'm sure what titled Understanding and I wonder if this was a revamp of their second song. However, Will stated there were 30 songs written in total for Ev3 sessions before his article was take down. I do wonder if one more song from this session has been revamped for this album.

Someone should make a playlist with these songs as called it Ev3 Lillywhite Sessions.

Love how these songs are evolving over time just like Together Again and If You Don't Mind did.

Also I think we should start using Reddit since so many people are on there so if we can be more active on that, we could gain and increase our fanbase if people are curious enough and see popular posts.

Steve said he only recorded 12 demos

Gosh, I so hate Wind-Up for scrapping the Broken Record. We really need that album to see the light.

Is anybody able to figure out the backing lyrics around 1:53 and in the last chorus?

1:53 is possibly ''I can't wait for that day''

[AGwilliams]

One of the 4 unreleased Lillywhite songs could have been renamed for this album, only time will tell, and if not hopefully they see the light of day in some other format.

Either way, really excited for this! So good to finally have a tracklist and release date.
