ouch, that sucks >_< they sold out so fast...I've been looking everywhere for one for my dad. maybe stubhub or something will lower their prices later this week before the show? that's what i'm hoping for.

Did you only get 1?

yeah. I only had enough for one, so I called so I could get his card number and when i went back to the site they were sold out.

What are you doing if you can't get another?

hm .. google says there are some surch results which were automatically removed because of copyright.. may there be leaks??!

just thinking

We're gonna go and see if anyone has an extra at the door or something and if not I'll just go to the show and he'll hang in Cambridge

I guess it's possible but i tend to think leaks are usually intentional. They've officially released 2 songs, played another 2 live and released samples to the entire album. Something tells me that's all we will get until July 20th. I still remain optimistic i'm wrong however.

Is it out there or not? I'm so confused hah

That's been there for ages, around the time of the tracklist being released someone found all the tracks on last.fm and thats how we knew the lengths of the songs. I assume that it had something to do with the mixing process.

Bluuu's trollin' hard right now....lol

Nah I'd never seen that before, I thought it was new. I am refreshing what people are currently listening to by gaslight though, so I'll know if anyone with last.fm has it.

It's gonna leak tonight

I'd like to believe this isn't pure speculation.

Although I guess Gaslight and Mercury didn't get this memo

I think it will leak on the 23rd.

Seeing how it comes out in Germany on the 20th I really won't consider anything after that a "leak"

I haven't let myself listen to 45 in weeks and listening to a fraction of that 30 second clip reminded me how amazing that song is..When the chorus kicks in it's just insane.

I know.

Could someone please post the lyrics of Keepsake? It's the only one that's missing from the first page of the topic...

Idk if it ever got listed on here but there verse that's repeated a lot at the end of Handwritten, are the lyrics for that here somewhere because the first post didn't list that part. Even if you tell me it's in here somewhere I'll go looking. Thanks!

This is by ear through both through headphones and speakers. I'm sure someone might hear stuff different.

Like for example I couldn't tell in the chorus if he's saying "could live with it" or "can live with it"
it sounds like in the first two choruses he's saying "could" and the last he is saying "can" but I just settled on "can"

Let me know for any changes but i think its like 95% correct


P.s. so far its like my favorite... I'm sure it will change but right now - so good!

Keepsake

It's been 31 years since she's been in your arms
but don't worry about Mama, Mama's got a good heart
And I'm not looking for your love, I'm only sniffing out blood
Just a little taste of where I came from

And at the bottom of this river
is where I put you down to lay so I can live with it
And in my heart heart heart there are these waters
where I put you down to lay while I learn to live with it
till I'm free

And its been all my life
I've been wondering on the inside
what we could of had if you had a part of my life
and there were children involved and they were brothers to me
even if we never got to meet

And at the bottom of this river
is where I put you down to lay so I can live with it
And in my heart there are these waters
where I put you down to lay while I learn to live with it
till I'm free-

-at last from this shadow that hangs
surely you wonder sometimes and I'm sure you won't sympathise
just what a mans to become but just like his daddy's done
I just want to love someone who has the same blood

And at the bottom of this river
is where I put you down to lay so I can live with it
And in my heart there are these waters
where I put you down to lay while I learn to live with it
For keepsake - till I'm free
