The Open Door Discussion Part IV - Page 49 - EvBoard

Maybe I'm just a little insane and overly analytical, but has anyone noticed in the album art how the little images at the top of the lyrics pages kind of fit the songs? Like "SWQ" has a caged bird which fits with the whole theme in the song of feeling trapped, "Lose Control" has a lamb, "Your Star" has a telescope, "Cloud Nine" has a bird which I think fits well particularily with the first verse about freedom, "ATILF" has a key and in the song she sings "lock the last open door", "Good Enough" has a heart and that one's about love. I had a little trouble with "SS", but maybe the moth is symbolic of change - this song is about that old abusive relationship, but whenever she wrote about it before it was always out of feeling helpless; with this song though, she's writing it from a stronger postition which is a change for her.

I'm having a hard time seeing the symbolism for the other ones though. Or being able to tell what they are. "CMWYS" is some sort of insect with what looks like a huge ass. Haha. And does anyone know what that creature for "The Only One" is? Anyone have any ideas as to what the umbrella could mean for "WotW" and "Lithium"?

For the record, Edwin (Seether's Manager) cleared Shaun's "quote" up a bit. That interview was actually 45 minutes long. shaun wasn't repremanding Amy at all. It would have been nice to read a bit more of the interview instead of the one paragraph misquote they did. *shakes head at reporters*

What Shaun was saying is that AMY, EV, or anyone for that matter, can write a song about their personal relationships, that is what most artists do in fact. It's the fact that she chose to air it out openly and put a name to the song in her interviews. That's where she was wrong...Not about the song itself. End of Story!!!

"I'm going to miss you so much" is directed at Will only.

They sung the background vocals? On the record? I mean, how old are they? I´ve heard that they are pretty young. And I - as far as I remeber the song- haven`t heard any young voices, have I?!

Are their voices so much talented like Amys is, and do they sound older as they are all the time or what?

Amy's dad mentioned something about one of them being in high school, so I think they're both in their teens. But I'm not sure. I've heard that at least one of them is practically Amy's double in terms of vocal quality (i.e. she sounds just like her), and that both of them can sing, so...yes, they're very talented lol. And I think it's so great that Amy let them do that. If I had a big sister who was famous like that, I would be ecstatic if she let me sing something on her band's album.

From what I remember they should be in their later teens by now...so they wouldn't have 'kid' voices.

Ok guys I need some help from you

I want to order in amazon.com the CMWYS single. According to the singles it says it has an "acoustic" version of CMWYS.

For those who bought the single- when it says "acoustic" does it mean Piano version or Guitar version "acoustic" - because there are 2 kinds of "acoustics".

For those who have the singles- is it Piano?

Please help asap because I want to order it online by today.

These are the single design

adsleonard · 09-29-2006, 12:18 PM

its the single, what u might of allready heard with the piano and the guitar, it sounds like the mp3 version of the VH1 acoustic of it.
