REALLY feeling this song right now. The piano work is just... well it's nothing short of brilliant. And the lyrics, it's funny how I always forget how wonderful and relevant these lyrics are. apathy will spread like wildfire.

Was my favourite song on Nightbugs right off the bat, I have to say...I love baseball expressions Didn't realize I used them a lot until just now. Well, in my head it's a baseball expression, maybe not...

Anyway, Weight, is a very good song...very intense and lots of depth, musically.

Weight was the first Slean song I ever heard, and definitely remains one of my favourites to this day.

definatly one of my fav's as well

i was cleaning the house a while back and had the song on repeat for about 3 hours hehhe

I LOVE the live version of weight on the sympatico webcast, it rocks.

I had a Weight infatuation a while ago too. I love how it creeps up on you....

Agreed. It's just like 'woah'... that's something I've never noticed before.

Like this snow outside my window. It just started falling. boo.

I have an ooooold recording of sarah from a c'est what gig back in 97 where she plays the best version of that song I've yet to hear. It's just her on the piano. It is so bass-rich and haunting just to hear the piano, let alone her voice or lyrics.

unfortunately I can't share it because it's on cassette tape. Sorry folks.

Ooh I love bass. Boo to cassette tapes.. however I suppose that's pretty typical of that time! hehe... I feel so old.
Nik if I'm ever in Mexico I would love to hear it lol.

if you are even in mexico you will be visiting me (RIGHT!? :wink So that would be no problem.

:lol:

aw....I've heard maybe one or two live versions and they're good, I just seem to like the CD version better.

lol of course Nik. That would be kinda mean of me to just ask you to courier the tape to wherever I was staying lol. Funny, but mean.

And, more importantly, why weren't we all invited???

It's possible to record onto computer from a casette tape -- I've done it before...you have to hook the tape deck into the 'input' jack of your sound card, and then use a wav recording program. Press record on tape deck, press record on program...watch the magic...then, of course, you'd have this gibungus wav file to compress into mp3 somehow...

Yeah but tape -> computer is bad quality!

I LOVE the song too! The bass is awesome! The song is awesome! It's one of those songs where you have to blast in your earphones and push the eatphones into your eats to get the full effect!
