Chuckles, i do agree with you about "mary" sounding like a hawksley song. i find alot of sarah's music very reminiscent of hawksley, but i also find aspects of sarah in hawksleys music as well....
i guess they rubbed off on each other, in collaborating on some projects...and i find them to be very similar to start off with...i guess its why they work so well together, in my opinion.

colleen~

Hey..I don't know how to quote someone else, but I wanna reply to the guy who said 'Somebody's Arms' may destroy her image if it got on the radio... Yeah, I guess it could happen - people might want all future singles from her to have that same 'feel' and be less open to her other style...although really, I don't think it matters. They're all great songs and they're all 'her' because they're real & honest.

How about "Mary"? It's a very straightforward song. It could work. "Out In The Park" could work, but I hate to say it - I don't even think radio is adventurous enough to go with that one. Radio sucks. It could be SO good, but it isn't.

Yep. But who cares - man, I love Hawksley's last album (actually, "Mary" would remind me most of "Wonderful And Sad"). "The Score" reminds me a bit of Hawksley too. The hidden track on "Lover/Fighter" is also about getting a motorbike, and the first line of "The Score" says something like 'I rented a motorbike' or something....

I'll agree there. "Mary" could likely do well as a single but I still think "Day One" would really influence people to look into Sarah's music more. I believe it to be more radio listener friendly then "Lucky Me". I know "Sweet Ones" brought in a lot of fans (including myself) and I really think "Day One" would have the same effect. Of course I'm looking at the process of releasing a single in terms of how many people will pick up the CD. I'm sure there are other ways of looking at it.

And ya.. "Out In the Park" becoming a single is probably a little dream inside of me hoping that radio could improve - which looks doubtful.

there's a part of the "Lucky Me" video - "a wise man once tried to tell me..." - that has the same style as a Hawksley video. i don't remember for which song. but the speed of the footage changes constantly. anyone know what i'm talking about?

i totally agree.. hawksley does rock.. and ya.. 'mary' does sound alot like 'wonderful and sad' except that i despise 'mary' and like 'wonderful and sad'.
and regarding 'The Score' sounding like anything else? .... to me... its VERY 'Go or Go Ahead' by Rufus... b/c of how it builds... but maybe its just me...

Out in the Park. Cause I'm there. All the time. That's me. Out in the Park.

Day One is definitely one of my favourite tracks so far on the album, although I just bought it about an hour ago, so this is just tentative..

I LOVE what I hear so far

Jealous of your Cigarrette? I think that entire video was shot that way. That's the first time I heard Hawksley - great song.

hey you two!!! *hugs* glad to see you made it over here
(its sara/siren btw )

for the record, i wasn't necessarily "complaining" that 'Mary' sounds like something Hawksley would do.
Hawksley's awesome.

My fave is definitely Day One
I've loved it since... well... Day One! lol... I kinda miss Sarah M.'s trumpet solo though

that's one thing i completely forgot about! the trumpet!!! oh man, how i loved the trumpet...
