I'm lost. Can someone explain (even if you want to send me a pm rather than do it here) ........ who expressed disappointment??? I take it that someone that we would have expected to love it, didn't. Right?

I really love that Little Britian skit. I hope it works on Donna [img]wink.gif[/img]
Donna - Kipper for you! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Can I join in the excitement?
Has to put the front page back on again to soak it in...
It does have rather a SG sound to the music, I do have to say that! Something of the piano bit (musical technicality is not my forte!) reminded me of the opening bars of TMD...and yet there was something C&B about it too. Piano, guitar etc...yes!!!! Gorgeous it definitely is!
But as Kat says, I wonder what else is to come in the song. I remember some of the soundbites from TTATS, and Sense of Humour in particular was not done any justice in 30 seconds.
As for the lyrics, I can't convince myself he's not saying 'you MADE me' rather than 'you MAKE me' so maybe it's still not the traditional ballad after all. That's definitely got to be worth another listen!
Positive reactions? Are you lot telling me that you're anything but loyal fans! LOL!! I know better.
[img]wink.gif[/img]
I've changed my mind [img]tongue.gif[/img] and have now decided that he's singing 'discerning stars'. Having looked up the meaning in my trusty Collins Dictionary (Scrabble edition), I find that discerning means 'to make out; to distinguish by the eye or understanding' amongst other things so I think that it fits well within those lyrics! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
*awards myself a [img]graemlins/phone.gif[/img] for being clever* [img]wink.gif[/img] *tee hee*
Sharon, I agree with you and Steve, I adore that first line as well
Watch out we have a Donnamonster in our midst.. theres no stopping her now girls.. she wil be a fully fledged monkey up D's butt soon lol
LOL Terry [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] your just saying that to completley confuse me *listens again* it sounds like discerning again to me now lol.
Kat
*pats Kat on the head* There, there hun! [img]wink.gif[/img]
I haven't listened to it today (yet) but my money's still on 'discerning'. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Maybe mlue's right and it's a song with multiple endings just to keep us on our toes (and to keep us listening! LOL)
Has the clip disappeared for everyone else? Just wandered over to see what I hear..discerning etc and it's not there now.
Oh and thanks so much for the laugh ladies this topic has been truly theraputic [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Wonders just what value there is for being a fanclub member at this point in time...is there anything new? Has there been another e-zine?

I don't know about this debate over desinging, discerning etc lol but I'm rapidly getting an obsession with the way Darren pronounces words with r's in them! [img]tongue.gif[/img] I just love the way he says stars, scars, dirt, and darling in this clip [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

It's vanished for me too. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
PMSL at me beiing a fully fledged monkey up Darren's butt!! I'd rather not thanks, but I'm sure there are plenty of others who would relish taking over that position for me!!
Don't panic ladies I am back to my normal self today, I think the fact that I'd consumed a very large bottle of wine last night sent me into silly mode!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Dammit!! Now I'm not sure which word he's using. It seems like it keeps changing every time I listen to it [img]confused.gif[/img] I'm going to be suffering from a major brain implosion at this rate. Either word would be apt in that sentence. Talk about a teaser!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I wonder how long I can keep on hearing it before my cache catches up [img]wink.gif[/img]

well the clip has officially gone as per this email from DH com:
"We hope you had a chance to listen to the tiny teaser clip of
'So Beautiful'.
Because we've hidden it away again!
We released the clip early on Darren's request so you could hear it
first. Think of it as a personal thank you from Darren to you, "the
coolest fanbase in the world".
This week Darren is getting ready to shoot the video and final radio
plans are being finalized.
We'll let you know as soon as we do when you can hear the song
in full on a radio station near you.
In the meantime. Thank you.
The buzz you created was infectious!
Stay tuned to www.darrenhayes.com for further updates."
ooooooooooh I see .. bloody hell lucky I was around yesterday then!!!
I thought they would keep it up to keep the "buzz" going.. but maybe they didnt want music journos etc getting a hold of it and start making rash predicitions or something.
I am glad I got to hear it at any rate.

That's so very true mlue and that's why this place is so good (and necessary imho). It's a place where real fans can voice their true thoughts and opinions, ones that may not always be 100% complimentary, without fear of recrimination.
That's why I like it here. It's real and honest and fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]

OOH lucky you!! Spins you round in that chair until you're dizzy.
Actually, I'm not too worried, as, like everyone else, I played it FAR too much...which means it's still playing in my head. YAY!
The one thing I remember most about the LP was the fact that for months after little tiny snippets of songs would come back at odd moments and yet I couldn't recall them when I wanted. At least this time it won't go away.
I do love it!
Nice to see we're up and working again.

I like to think this particular board is open to a broad range of opinons on all thing Darren-y. We dont always feel uncomplimentary about things. We are open to discussion on anything.. and if we like something we do say it and same if we dont.
I think its the way all boards should be actually.

Am I the only one who's wondered if the new song snippet and other little tidbits are being thrown our way because for lots of people it's renewal time? I seem to recall the same thing last year, then nothing. I must admit I was tempted, again, to rejoin but I've had a busy weekend and haven't yet bothered. God, I feel like such a sucker. The fanclub is yet to produce anything worthy of joining in my humble opinion.

It might be. Mind you, how much money can you realistically generate from approx 50 "actual" members?! [img]wink.gif[/img] LMAO
<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I thought exactly the same thing. Each time I'm up for renewal I swear I'm not going to bother then something happens and the need to not miss out gets the better of me and I end up signing up for another year.Quote:

ATM I have 7 days left on my membershiop and still haven't renewed but there's been a few times when I've sat at the cop, plastic in hand about to renew then changed my mind again
[img]mad.gif[/img]
The thing is its fine to renew if thats what you want and its fine not to as well.
But what I would do is wait and see whats on offer. No need to join on a what if or a maybe something good will happen. Wait till it does.. wait till tour time and see if they are offering anything worth joining for. No shame in joining for the perks then. Its what fanclub are all about even if they try and promote just being is good enough.. most of them know its the tickets people want and the other good stuff.
Kat
Yep, Kat's right! Save your money until you know what you'll be getting for it. There's no sense in throwing money away if they're not gonna offer anything for it is there? Atm all you get for your cash is news and piccies first but so what? You only have to wait a couple of days until you hear about it or see them anyway and sometimes it's not even that long. [img]wink.gif[/img] Also, it's not like they're even bothering anymore with their much-touted e-Zine.... [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]
Oh dear, I'm about to commit blasphemy, but I've had a guts full of emo male twiddly "female empowerment by emasculated man" crap lyric songs lately, that I'm not sure I'm up to putting up with another [img]graemlins/shhh.gif[/img]
The Daniel Powter/Rob Thomas/James Blunt-ness of it all is making me want to blast something with a bit of balls...very loudly.
This is sad...how did I get to a place where I'm simply "meh" about an impending Darren release.
Ah well. I'll wait until I hear it on the radio for real - maybe the feeling will kick in then. I got a real buzz out of hearing the new Robbie song on the radio yesterday for the first time, so maybe I'll get that when the full media hype begins for Darren.
I hear what you are saying Amanda. James Blunt and Daniel Powters voices really leave me cold and so do their songs or the one I have heard of each lol
I do love my Rob Thomas though [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I think I can forgive Darren one pure love song.. As thats how he was feeling and is feeling and wants to get that honesty out as much I guess as his angst honesty. I can usually stomach it more from Darren/SG as theres always that purity of voice to the songs.
In saying that I dont expect a whole albums of "so beautiful" type songs... I am sure there will be an eclectic mix in it..well there better be [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]
So what I am trying to say is I am not a fan of sappy.. But the fact that Darren was a big sap was part of his allure that drew me to him in the first place.. I should at least try and accept that happy in love is a normal emotion to feel lol
Kat
I thought that So Beautiful was along the same sort of lines as James Blunt/Daniel Powter etc, I actually really like their music although I can't stand to watch James Blunt on the telly... there's something about his face that really gets on my nerves!!
As for the smushy sappy lurve song route.. I think that's just Darren going back to a thing that worked commercially for him. TTATS bombed but SG didn't and they were from Smush Central!!!!Plus with that sort of song doing well in the charts atm, hopefully there's a niche that SB will fit into nicely. Personally I think he might just pull it off as from what I've heard of the song so far it sounds great but think that if he was to stay on that route then he'd just start being known as "Darren Hayes the balladeer"(is that a word?!!) again and start getting the piss ripped out of him by the press, music industry etc again for being the guy that sings love songs that make you want to puke... BTW that's NOT <u>my</u> opinion but think you know whatI mean as it's been written about him a million times before.
Yup yup, know what you mean Kat - I'm of the "I can take sap more from Darren" bent to. LOL
I think it has to do with where I am in my life right now. When I came to D back in 2001, I needed the "emotional support". Now I don't. Plus I'm in a HUGE grumpy waiting for my big OS trip to begin LOL.
But I'm still eager to hear it on radio and see what feelings it inspires. Even though I'm [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] about the soppy sap out at the moment, Darren's going to fit in PERFECTLY. Which is FANTASTIC, since he couldn't seem to find the fit for TTATS.
I agree Donna.. tis kind of catch 22 as you know the market is just loving those kind of songs and its what he is known for in terms of hits so its probably something that can get his career kicking again... but at the same time the critics will be saying oh the same old smhmaltz from Darren Hayes.. completly oblivious to the whole TTATS album and any other non love songs.
Amanda I know what you mean. I am not a love song fan either.. and most of it in the charts with their googly eyes and annoying voices makes me wanna *puke* as well. But as we said when its Darren I am more open to it.. though he will get tossed in with all them lot.. which makes me cringe. Hopefully there will be a selection of songs that cover all emotions not a album of love songs lol
Kat
As I see it, there're 'love' songs like that hideous warbling nonsense by James Blunt and there're 'LOVE' songs like TLAM (my personal fave and the best ever), IKILY, TMD etc. I know which ones I prefer to listen to!
Of course, not every love song/ballad that SG/DH has produced has been good but he/they still rate a pretty high score in that genre imo. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
