Halloween (acoustic)

I love how Gaslight songs sound great both normally and acoustically. It seems each song kicks ass and then when you strip them down there is an even deeper meaning and lyrically they're beautiful. It is no different here, i'm torn as to what i prefer though - the acoustic Halloween or full Gaslight version. Either way, i'm thankful i get to listen to both.

I really love this song. Moreso because it's on my iPod as 'Making Whoopee' and I don't plan on changing it

I never thought of the "corpse in a suit" as a analogy as depression...wow nice interpretation there.

Ask any white collar around you. 99% will share this point of view and add agression, sadness, loneliness and so on.

Lyrically, more and more open and honest. Amazing.

Why only white collar? (Not criticizing your thoughts just wondering ) Oh, the suit thing maybe? I guess I didn't think of that, but I can imagine this song fitting well with like a business party-ish event.

I think it also applies to those of us who aren't big on the party/drinking scene and always feel out of place at those things. Anyone with that social disconnect really.

Ugh I hate those parties. That feeling of floating through the room while everyone rushes past you, not being able to even force a smile as drunken friends laugh until they fall over...there are few things in life more depressing than those nights.

I've been listening to this song a lot lately and I think it may be the most brilliantly heartbreaking song Brian has ever written. Too much blood on the page indeed.

i think the lyrics make this song. i've been listening to it every morning when i walk to work

They definitely need to record this song properly, I don't listen to it very often because of the production (or lack of it). It's amazing lyrically and would be so much more hard hitting if they recorded it in a studio.
