Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: Emily on December 10, 2015, 11:40:04 AM I must be missing something... 'dirge' as in funereal music?

What other songs are in this style? Dirge is not a style. It is a mood. And, it can indicate tempo in music. The titles listed above are not 'dirges.' Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: chaki on December 10, 2015, 11:44:19 AM blah blah blah. any other tracks in this style? thanks for the suggestion of our team!

OK... I was honestly wondering what you meant.

How about the unreleased "Funeral March For Chaki?" Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: KDS on December 10, 2015, 12:07:27 PM blah blah blah. any other tracks in this style? thanks for the suggestion of our team! Steamboat Summer's Gone Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: Sheriff John Stone on December 10, 2015, 12:08:04 PM Sounds good, but I'm not sure about "Had To Phone Ya' in there, unless you're using the Spring version. Anyway, I would add "Can't Wait Too Long", "Til I Die", "A Day In The Life Of A Tree", and maybe "Baby Blue".

How about the unreleased "Funeral March For Chaki?" This is the only possible candidate. I fail to hear anything even vaguely dirge-like in any of the others.

How about the unreleased "Funeral March For Chaki?" This is the only possible candidate. I fail to hear anything even vaguely dirge-like in any of the others. No, but it's very clear what the OP is asking for -- more songs that are at the slow end of mid-tempo, keyboard led, soft, repetitive, with quite a straight rather than swung rhythm. Some that fit all or most of those criteria: Sail Plane Song, Til I Die, Baby Blue, Surf's Up, All I Wanna Do, Child Is Father of the Man, Steamboat.

Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: hideyotsuburaya on December 11, 2015, 09:59:46 AM BE STILL is a kind of hymn I suppose, but a particularly 'uplifting' one definitely it is not, and I am easily uplifted. It has all the solemn plodding tone typical of a dirge IMO. Most of the other song titles mentioned as possible dirge candidates are rife with uplifting qualities

To the original post, I'd say though that "Had to Phone Ya" still doesn't fit the description especially. Perhaps the song just has the illusion of being slightly peppy and upbeat, but I wouldn’t call it a “dirge” even if I were inclined to call things like “All This is That” or “Let the Wind Blow” dirges.

Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: adamghost on December 11, 2015, 12:15:35 PM I agree that these aren't necessarily "dirges" but man, "Steamboat" to me is the very definition of a dirge. It just frickin' crawls. Everybody has one song where they can't understand the love others have for it, "Steamboat" is it for me.
Gonna be an interesting tape! Sounds like a good theme. I'm not quite locked into the idea enough to offer a good suggestion though.

I first heard it maybe around 1994 or so, didn't understand it. I think it finally clicked for me around 2011 or so. Now I love it.

There are elements of Morning Christmas that remind me of Steamboat. Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: The Shift on December 15, 2015, 01:23:48 PM IS there a better word than "dirge" we could adopt here? :o

Something along the lines of "medium pacer" perhaps? Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: Ron on December 15, 2015, 09:35:21 PM It's too easy, but I've always heard "Til I Die" as a dirge. It's just morbid, downright pitiful

It's just morbid, downright pitiful I see it more as a kind of musical equivalent of a painting by Caspar David Friedrich-- --the spectator (in this case Brian) humbled by the immensity of nature. This is just one example by that artist: (https://40.media.tumblr.com/80a5f4982e34d2c7dd431b1b64e55bb3/tumblr_nridvzCC9Y1rtynt1o1_500.jpg) Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: Andrew G. Doe on December 16, 2015, 04:14:23 AM Many tracks on Pacific Ocean Blue are dirge-like. There's a fine line that separates dirge like from stately. Title: Re: All This is That/Cool Cool Water/Let The Wind Blow/Had To Phone Ya Post by: JK on December 16, 2015, 05:14:25 AM As I see it, a dirge is an extreme expression of mourning and grief (and always in a minor key).
Or else it's a derogatory term for a piece that plods on interminably. I can't see either description fitting anything by the Boys together or individually...

The percussion, the wacky slide guitar solo, and the "don't worry Mr. Fulton" backgrounds just create such a fantastic atmosphere. Love the chord changes.

Steamboat is the real unnoticed gem on Holland. Seems Dennis was the only one to take their relocation there as an influence in his writing. Great tune, the production is stellar and the lyrics cryptic yet emotionally evocative. Great song on a great album! |
