The New Songs

[havoc_planet]

HOW DO WE KNOW
RAISE THE ALARM




From what we have heard so far, which one tickles your fancy the most?

[MisspentYouth]

You mean you want us to CHOOSE? :p

[havoc_planet]

Yep, pretend like the album is almost full, and its up to YOU to pick the last song!

[Kacky]

I think there should be a 'Both' option. :p

[Amur]

How Do we Know.
intro is TOO good!!!! I get freaking excited when I hear it on my mobile phone :D

BUT, the lyrics for Raise The Alarm are strong.Chris still same surprising!

[mel_bound]

RAISE THE ALARRRUMM!!!! ftw

[May]

Keep in mind that the first live version you hear of anything, might not be anything like - or at least quite different - to what you first heard, once it makes it to album.
Maitland Street, Reborn, and Long Live the Weekend come to mind...

[MisspentYouth]

I would vote for Raise the Alarm's lyrics and How Do We Know's guitar. I can't decide though!

May, how was Maitland Street different before it was recorded? It's my favorite TLE song.

[longlivethelivingend]

huh?? whatz ..... raise the alarm... sorry.... whatz that?? alright...i'm tired... BUTWHAT THE HELL IS RAISE THE ALARM????:mad:

[Kylie eats dugong for tea]

is there a way we can listen to these songs? Otherwise this is quite an elitist poll, really.

[mel_bound]

[longlivethelivingend]

i dont know.... I just try to find out.. but no one answer...hmmm..... shit

[longlivethelivingend]

yo..thx un so.... @ mel.... :P

[Deadcat Kaye]

Its mean to make us choose :p
They are both sooooooo good!!

[Grumma]

is there a way we can listen to these songs? Otherwise this is quite an elitist poll, really.

haha yeah always presents a problem.

I'm going to go for Raise The Alarm cos it has the better song name :)

[thelivingvines]

How do we know because it has a kick ass riff, an awesome catchy chorus, it reminds me of stevie wonder for some reason and because it has a false ending and a badass solo.
Raise the Alarm is a new exploration lyrically but I don't think the song has anything particularly special to offer unlike how do we know. I like raise the alarm... I don't love it.

[Kacky]

Keep in mind that the first live version you hear of anything, might not be anything like - or at least quite different - to what you first heard, once it makes it to album.

I like when bands do that, because then you can compare the changes in sound and/or lyrics when the other version is released. It tends to confuse some people when they go to sing along as well. :D That happened to me with LLTW. :p

[All_torn_down16]

For those wondering if Chris is Athiest or Religious just check out the first couple of lines of Raise the Alarm. They are certainly to the point of what he believes! Therefore I definately agree with thelivingvines that this song is a new exploration lyrically.

[Grumma]

Listening to Raise The Alarm, the verses remind me of a Placebo song. same kinda feel in the riff as Bitter End

*edit*
For me, How Do We Know is hands down the better song

[JayTee]

'How do we know' is a bit too slow for me. If they sped it up just a bit i think it would be heaps better (Though the main guitar lick would be harder to play, but I'm sure Chris could manage...)

The begining of 'Raise The Alarm' (before the drums) reminded me of Stariway To Heaven. Is that even part of the song or does it start when the bass drum comes in?

[Grumma]

I was wondering that too.

I'd say it's when the bass drum comes in - otherwise it'd just sound rediculous

[deano1337]

omfg there fucking cool songs!

[Habibster]

ahhhh just listened to themm...

fuck both are great, but i would have to say How Do We Know coz i love the guitar licks in it...I know its extremely early days but i could see How Do We Know on a guitar hero game or something :|

[deano1337]

those songs just owned all of 'soe'

[Jake]

The first sounded a little like 'Cochise' by Audioslave - the bass beat is a little anyway. The second reminded me of MA-era, bit lighter. I preferred Raise the Alarm.

[BennyD]

i went for hdwk cause its the one ive heard properly

[AlinaPOW]

Holy crap!!!
HOW DO WE KNOW... that's farkin' AWESOME!!!
Raise the Alarm DOES have the cooler name though :p

[Amur]

Don't Shut the Gate,hey! this one rocks!

edit: woops,I forgot - it's pretty oldie now :o

[deano1337]

im sticking with 'how do we know' fucking AWESOME SONG
HE IS SOO GOOD AT GUITAR

[thelivingvines]

I hear so much RATM in how do we know. I don't know if that's intentional or not... I totally agree with the Cochise thing too... it's basically the same point I guess, minius the obvious.
I love it, but having said that, I wouldn't want a whole album of songs pushing in that direction.

[deano1337]

if all the songs in the album are as good as those its going to be a #@$!@# awesome album

[i_heart_you]

even though these songs are live, they still sound a little rough and tumble. a little heavy rock, a lot more like the tle from the past. maybe theyre returning to their roots? i hope so!

that being said, i think raise the alarm is the song for me out of the two! it just hit me right away when i listened to it

[thelivingvines]

oooooh, 50/50! exciting.

[Amur]

I changed my mind today.now I'm totally into Raise The Alarm! lyrics can't get out of my head

[Aaron]

I'm at work, and hence can't download and listen to the songs yet, but...

AWESOME.

This board has been stagnating for too long without any substantial news! Good to see the new era rolling in :D

[WhitefalconTLE44]

I still can't decide which one i like better. How do we Know has an awesome guitar part in the beginning and is a great song, but Raise the Alarm is more like The Living End we know and love, so i don't think i'm gonna vote.

[deano1337]

the year off was tottally worth it if their comnig up with stuff like this.
cough* HOW DO WE KNOW* ftw

[AlinaPOW]

I changed my mind today.now I'm totally into Raise The Alarm! lyrics can't get out of my head

haha yeah i was falling asleep with it stuck in my head last nite... it's the "woah-oh"s that do it!
The geetars grrrreat too.

even though these songs are live, they still sound a little rough and tumble. a little heavy rock, a lot more like the tle from the past. maybe theyre returning to their roots? i hope so!


I'd be freakin' stoked with that!!

[Matt]

For those wondering if Chris is Athiest or Religious just check out the first couple of lines of Raise the Alarm.

Or an agnostic...

[Tle89]

How do we know sounds awesome, love that riff!!!

[All_torn_down16]

Or an agnostic...

True, true...I was half asleep when I wrote that post so I forgot Agnosticism. I do apologise to Chris and to you :D

[Matt]

True, true...I was half asleep when I wrote that post so I forgot Agnosticism. I do apologise to Chris and to you :D

bah, no need for an apology mate. It wasn't a dig at you ;)

it just gets annoying when you some people automatically assume that you're either a believer or an atheist. I personally think that there's not really a definitive answer unless there's absolute proof...

[deano1337]

how do we know would be an awesong song for guitar hero haha

[kempos2112]

This thread had me worried for a while "New songs! when the hell did they release new songs?" But iv just had a listen, both are killer songs but im going for "how do we know" at this stage. Someone in Musicians Corner better tab that one soon.

[May]

Raise the Alarm gets my money. :cool:

[Yvonne]

mmmh look what the cat dragged in... :D Poison?? hell yeah.
How do we know gets my vote.
But what's with the rockabilly?? I was kinda expecting some rockabilly.

[Amur]

I was kinda expecting some rockabilly.
who didn't!:)
I hope it's all already planned to be deep in the record!

[kelso]

How Do We Know

the guitar is killer

[Aaron]

Haha, word of these little recordings has indeed travelled to the band themselves...

Anyway the new stuff is coming together a treat and we are so keen for everyone to hear what we've been doing. It would have been nice to play a few more the other night but we don't want the entire new album to be online just yet. The two that we did play ("How Do We Know?" and "Raise the Alarm"....working titles) are still in early stages and only about a week old. As you can imagine we are still wrestling with them a bit - by that I mean trying to remember lyrics! We've done a couple of lots of demos and put down about a dozen or so tunes. Trust me the online (pissed) versions don't come close to what they should / will sound like. There is some variety on there but in a good way. Most of it is pretty ballsy and not too fancy. Rule #1..... It must translate live.

[Colezy]

As long as that killer guitar riff from "How Do We Know" doesn't go into hiding, I'll be happy! :p

[Grumma]

But what's with the rockabilly?? I was kinda expecting some rockabilly.

Rockabilly schmockabilly

Glam rock ftw :cool:

[Belinda]

I do believe that my ears prefered how do we know, but it was all good.

[Neo]

I've just heard the start of how do we know and I feel so weird! this shit rocks but its like im not even listening to the living end anymore!! its the weirdest feeling! its like shock. to think my favourite band is playing the other kind of music I love :)

[Weston]

For those wondering if Chris is Athiest or Religious just check out the first couple of lines of Raise the Alarm. They are certainly to the point of what he believes! Therefore I definately agree with thelivingvines that this song is a new exploration lyrically.

It's interesting, I might've misheard the lyrics, but I thought it sounded like he was being ironic (and not talking about himself personally). Like Paul Kelly does a lot, especially in a song like "God Told Me To" (Kelly's an atheist). Here, it was a line that sounded like "I'd rather risk my faith than lose my fame", which made me think he sounded sarcastic, but if I misheard that, I'm probably chasing a moot point. Can anyone hear it more clearly?

Also, I love that song to bits! It's a pity about the extended intro, only because that'd hamper its chances as an awesome radio single!

[Amur]

does anyone think that TLE sounded more careless and fun earlier?
that's all good - to have serious lyrics,but they used to sing about everything ironically,and in the meantime the tune was same fun and had more rock'n'roll in it's heart.
I love new songs,but also it would be nice to hear more tunes like Carry Me Home,Into The Red,From Here On In,ICGYWIHG...remember Monday! serious theme but very inflammatory melody!

[mel_bound]

Also, I love that song to bits! It's a pity about the extended intro, only because that'd hamper its chances as an awesome radio single!
I'm pretty sure it's no where near ready for single release! :p

[Amur]

I'm pretty sure it's no where near ready for single release! :p
hope so! I was happy to know how raw these new songs are - makes me think that others will be kinda different!!:)
and it prooves guys' talent to make 2 killer songs in one week!!

[Weston]

I'm pretty sure it's no where near ready for single release! :p

Hehee, I know, I habitually think in the long-term. :p

Of course, the more I listen to the song, the less it sounds ironic, and more sympathetic/personal. Which seems to fly in the face of Staring at the Light, if I got the right interpretation of that one, buuut this is going off on a tangent! Thanks for uploading those files, too, Mel!

I love new songs,but also it would be nice to hear more tunes like Carry Me Home,Into The Red,From Here On In,ICGYWIHG...remember Monday! serious theme but very inflammatory melody!

Don't forget Trapped!! :eek:

[Amur]

Don't forget Trapped!! :eek:
sure thing.
but I meant not exacly these songs,but the whole idea of their previous playing style!

[Aaron]

Also, I love that song to bits! It's a pity about the extended intro, only because that'd hamper its chances as an awesome radio single!
Pretty sure that's just Chris fiddling around in a musical segue between songs because they were playing live.

[Weston]

Pretty sure that's just Chris fiddling around in a musical segue between songs because they were playing live.

Ah, true! It does play out a lot like the bit before All Torn Down in Live at Festival Hall. Gah, but now I'll be distraught to see that awesome chord progression go. :o

[MisspentYouth]

I'm pretty sure he's singing "I'd rather risk my fate than lost my faith." But of course I could also be completely wrong.

[Habibster]

I'm pretty sure he's singing "I'd rather risk my fate than lost my faith."

haha that's what i thought he was singing too :)

[All_torn_down16]

All I can swear is that the lyrics of Raise the Alarm did seem personal to me. I don't know if it was the way Chris was singing them or just the lyrics themselves but I do believe that he wasn't being ironic. However, I could accept the fact if it were meant to be. It just seems like a serious subject and all. With Monday for example it was the actual tune that made it seem so fun and lively and not so much the lyrics. They directly were about the Dunblane massacre and you could tell he had been affected by it. Anyway, that's all just my opinion and you would have to ask Chris himself to know exactly what he means by the lyrics he writes. We can only just guess what they mean. :)

[Evil Chris]

For those wondering if Chris is Athiest or Religious just check out the first couple of lines of Raise the Alarm. They are certainly to the point of what he believes! Therefore I definately agree with thelivingvines that this song is a new exploration lyrically.

Atheism is religion, they believe that the thought of a High Power is just Bogus.

Other wise, its just no religion, they just don't care.

I vote Raise The Alarm, its fast, and the Lyrics kick ass.

[Grumma]

Here, it was a line that sounded like "I'd rather risk my faith than lose my fame", which made me think he sounded sarcastic, but if I misheard that, I'm probably chasing a moot point. Can anyone hear it more clearly?


I don't think your lyrics are quite right.

I think it says life where you think it says fame

[Aaron]

Atheism is religion, they believe that the thought of a High Power is just Bogus.

Without wishing to side-track, atheism literally means 'no religion'. It's like saying that 'not playing chess' is a hobby. Nuh uh.

Given how different pre-album versions of other songs have been in the past (Long Live The Weekend, 'Til The End) I'm curious as to how these will end up. Hopefully neither will be another Living Underground!

[Sarah]

I hope not either. I think when Living Underground and LLTW first were heard, most people liked LLTW more. It's interesting that these two newbies are either both loved by people, or its fairly evenly split for favourites. Hopefully that means they're both hear to stay.

[gaby2121]

i want to hear them did anyone takevideo?

[rakfint]

the links are on Mel_bound's sig.. but here you go

how do we know - http://www.sendspace.com/file/f9oqaf
raise the alarm - http://www.sendspace.com/file/g48vdh

[Craigels]

WHOA!!!! new songs, hahaha im a bit slow.

im SOOOOOOOO excited. their downloading now but its taking so long, damn dial-up, and my sisters have sooo much crap on their logins.

[The Dying Start]

Thanks for the uppity, Mel_anoma.

I've only heard How Do We Know so far....funk-tastic!

Is the whole set up somewhere? I'll find it eventually, i suppose...

[Kacky]

Mel didn't end up getting all of the songs recorded, but here's what she managed to get!

TLE @ the EG Awards (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ai6ku7).

:)

[Sarah]

Thanks for the link Kacky :)

Hope Mel doesn't mind - haven't seen this link up before...

[Kacky]

Nah - she doesn't mind! If she did, she wouldn't have posted it in the other thread! :p

[Sarah]

haha, cool, i must have missed it earilier in all the excitement!

[May]

Neck and neck - this is new. :)

[Evil Chris]

I hope not either. I think when Living Underground and LLTW first were heard, most people liked LLTW more. It's interesting that these two newbies are either both loved by people, or its fairly evenly split for favourites. Hopefully that means they're both hear to stay.

Werent Reborn and Long Live the Weekend revealed in the same gig?

[May]

Nope, Living Underground and LLTW were 'revealed' at Big Juice in Shepperton, and I think Reborn was revealed and LLTW played at the NSC gig :cool:

[The Dying Start]

LU and LLTW were also the two newies played at Clipsal 500.

[Sarah]

ahhh, it feels like only yesterday!

[Craigels]

hmmmm, id have to say that how do we know is better. i like the guitar part.
raise the alarm probly isnt gonna go down well with Christians.

[The Dying Start]

I agree that for sheer guitraity goodness, How Do We Know is superb. I like both of them though, as per usual.

[Aaron]

raise the alarm probly isnt gonna go down well with Christians.
Meh, stuff 'em. There's enough pro-Christian content in mainstream music anyway, and you don't hear too much outcry about that from other parties. This one song isn't going to start a crusade.

[Grumma]

We can only hope

[bringin' it all back home]

raise the alarm.

i wish he didn't mean those lyrics.

[Johnny_Wah]

"Raise the Alarm" has a striking resemblance to "State of Emergency", dont you think?

[bringin' it all back home]

I hadn't really noticed, I am still caught up with these lyrics.

[Matt]

If evanescence can preach ridiculousness, then why can't chris preach sanity?

Harden up, princess ;)

[atomgal]

Mmmmm... guitarity goodness...

[Grumma]

had a little chuckle when I read that :p

[All_torn_down16]

raise the alarm.

i wish he didn't mean those lyrics.

I wish he didn't either...

[Grumma]

for fucks sake get over it
a) it's only a song b) no one knows 100% what he's sayin

*edit*
also like to add that by denouncing faith (we'll stick with that for now) it doesn't mean he's gonna go all Burzum or Mayhem on us and start burning down churches and stabbing other band members to death or blow his brains out

[May]

*edit*

yeah. cos everyone was so worried that Chris would do that... :rolleyes:

[Tle89]

i'm loving these new songs, how do we know is awesome, gotta love that riff

[Matt]

I wish he didn't either...

I may not beleive in good
It doesn't mean I'm a lesser person

...?
Obviously you've completely missed the point he's trying to make..

[Grumma]

Or they're that close minded

[All_torn_down16]

I am allowed to have my own interpretation of the lyrics just like everyone else is as well as my own opinion. No need to get angry about it okay. Besides I am not close minded I just have my beliefs and they are important to me. So I'd appreciate if you both didn't criticise my thoughts because I"m happy to listen to yours without offending you back. I am not angry or annoyed in any way that Chris chose to write those lyrics, he is also entitled to his own thoughts as well. Also, I do understand what he is saying with the lyrics, I wasn't talking about what they meant but rather what Chris was stating about himself in them.

[The Dying Start]

This is a total non-issue, i can't believe it's even gone this far!

[All_torn_down16]

Haha! It is pretty unbelievable Glenn. Maybe everyone will get back on the original topic? Who knows.

[The Dying Start]

One would hope so.

[May]

Rather impressed that Raise The Alarm is in the lead for now! :)

[The Dying Start]

I ended up voting for it. It's lyrically much better than How Do We Know. I still can't fully decided between them though. I'll change my mind a million time from now til the album comes out.

[May]

Raise The Alarm just sounds more...umm...TLE...
Not punk, or rockabilly, or anything they get typecast with, but the best of the magic that is...them!

How Do We Know sounds a little too try-hard. Like a bad acca dacca or motley crue cover band gone bad - imo...

And I really like the fact that Chris has been ballsy enough to come out and try some new lyrical ground on Raise The Alarm! :cool:



But... I always seem to go for the anti-single in these things, so whats the bet How Do We Know gets the gong? :p

[Grumma]

Funnily enough I was came in here to post the same thing about Raise The Alarm - except put it in a negative light. That they aren't really trying anything new.

Though at the same time I agree about How Do We Know.
Bad 80s hair metal at it's best :p

[E.B.]

Both these songs appeal to me, but I like Raise the Alarm a bit better

[SamLikesYou]

I really dont know about these songs... I mean they're good and i'd love them if they were another band.. but its just not living endish enough for me.. where have all the fast galloping verses and rockabilly solos gone.. i just hope they will not lose sight of what made them great to start with...
Having said that i'll probably love these songs to bits when the album comes into my eagerly awaiting mittens..

[Johnny_Wah]

so true!
remember Witch Doctor.what a song,what a rhythm!:)

[longlivethelivingend]

i like the new songs.... but i havnt how do we know? .. yes it sounds a bit different like the other songs of the living end.. but i think MUSIC is TIME.. in my opinion all artists have to play music which the people like... and the people... most of people... like modern music... for example: Nelly Furtado... sche has chanched her music.. for a few years she has made pop. now she has chanches her style into RNB.... isnt it?! So that is something you always have to mention,.. i think

[longlivethelivingend]

yeah .. it is not about the new songs... but i dont care... i just want to show it... u know...

Please care. We like to keep the forums as organised as possible. Especially in General Endness. We have a Photos/Pictures thread specifically for images. You can post your creations there!

[longlivethelivingend]

argh!! shit picutres. just look at my site...

[Evil Chris]

Thanks for helping, but I'm removing these to keep the thread on topic!

[Evil Chris]

Is that better?

[May]

wtf? really...

[Kacky]

Sims characterz. :p

[May]

And they're in the new songs thread because...?

[Kacky]

Not too sure, really.

[The Dying Start]

Try to keep things on topic in General Endness. Thankyou!

[whitey]

whoa these songs are mint.

raise the alarm is sounds a lot like something out of roll on

pretty good considering it is my favourite album.

very kool stuff right there.

[Shadow]

Raise The Alarm. Such creative lyrics. Particularly the 'we choose what we see, and we see what we choose to believe' line.

[Grumma]

Wouldn't the band be better off playing music they like first and foremost?
Fans come a distance second

[Infiction]

^ That's a Metallica outlook on it anyway
"Fuck the fans, we're doing this for us" haha.

[Amur]

Wouldn't the band be better off playing music they like first and foremost?
Fans come a distance second

I'd agree with that!
popular music isn't always good.well...it's really shitty in most cases

[Craigels]

the part in how do we know just a bit after chris says 'introduction' reminds me of red hot chilli peppers some how i dont even listen to much RHCP :confused:

[Grumma]

^ That's a Metallica outlook on it anyway
"Fuck the fans, we're doing this for us" haha.

Can't really say I blame them. They've been around for a while now lol

I'd agree with that!
popular music isn't always good.well...it's really shitty in most cases

I meant more them sticking to the whole rockabilly thing just cos they know that's what their fans like.
Bound to get stale eventually

[Kacky]

You're not alone on that one. My mom said the same thing. :confused:

[rakfint]

^ That's a Metallica outlook on it anyway
"Fuck the fans, we're doing this for us" haha.

I personally don't really agree, i think metallica do what they think is popular, just they don't do it very well, specially if we're talking about the St Anger album.. tried to go all offbeat and heavy like system of a down at the time, and failed :p

The Living End are hardly a sell out band, you can tell they love their music and you know Chris will never stick to one style because he likes to challenge himself and progress..

[May]

the part in how do we know just a bit after chris says 'introduction' reminds me of red hot chilli peppers some how i dont even listen to much RHCP :confused:

Yep. That was the first thing that came to my mind as well.
Maybe that's why I'm not as big on How Do We Know :p (not a RHCP fan)

[The Dying Start]

I hadn't even noticed! Gosh, what's wrong with me?

I might have to have a harder listen when i get home...

[havoc_planet]

Well said shorty

[May]

Give it away or whatever that peppers song was...

[Weston]

If anything, the guitar/drums in the chorus (around when Chris is singing "Turn on the light" and the others chime in with "How-do-we-know") remind me of Kashmir. :p Maybe it's just a similar chord progression or something.

[_jimmy_]

i just heard "how do we know" and damn its a good song, sounds like it would be at home on Roll On. Cant wait to hear the new album!

its got a damn catchy riff

[All_torn_down16]

Very catchy. Gets in my head all the time!

[Grumma]

I personally don't really agree, i think metallica do what they think is popular, just they don't do it very well, specially if we're talking about the St Anger album.. tried to go all offbeat and heavy like system of a down at the time, and failed :p

Because thrash was popular when they helped start it out?
And garage quality recording was popular in 2004?

If Metallica were a sell out they'd keep releasing MoP, And Justice + Black clone albums

[May]

And to the non-believers, that's exactly what they've done.

But there'd be no telling a metallica fan like you that, would there Grumma?

[havoc_planet]

maybe if you Boganed it up for him he would understand May!

[May]

I just can't convey it in grunts :rolleyes:

[havoc_planet]

Lmao yeah , but if you use the words Boobs, Beer, Aye and righty'o he should get the message!

[Craigels]

You're not alone on that one. My mom said the same thing. :confused:

oh good i thought i was the only one lol.
yeah give it away sounds about right its a good thing how do we know is only slightly like it.

[Caity]

I can't decide . . . after finally managing to download them, I honestly don't know. I like them both!!

[Quakin Jake]

Neither of them have grabbed me by the genitals and said 'I am awesome' but they're okay... I reckon Raise Alarm is the stronger of the two. How Do We Know just seems like they were trying to hard to write a bitchin rock number.

[The Dying Start]

How Do We Know was awsome. Til they repeat that riff through the entire song.
Got rather boring after that

[andrew357]

After a fair bit of listening, How Do We Know gets it.

At first it was Raise the Alarm, but it's just so damn catchy.

Id say that will change once they record it! As they say its not to old, so probably still very basic

[The Dying Start]

They all end up shanging alot over time anyway. Especially ones they they get out live, it would seem!

[Ape Face]

Hey guys, "how do we know has timed out, any chance someone could email it to emilyholm@hotmail.com?

it became one of my favourites at the longnecks shows, i'd love to hear it again.

cheers.

[Wild Turkey]

You better put them back on quick, your feet will get cold!

[damo0945]

even though she lives in canada, its spring over there so she should be right

[Kacky]

Yup, my feet are going commando right now! :)

[Amur]

it's almost summer here,though something tells me it's going to be one COLD summer.only +14 outside, that's why I wouldn't offer HDWK to take my socks off my feet =)

[Kacky]

Well, summer is almost here too. We've had a weird May though, because a lot of the days it has been chilly out. I, of course, throw socks on with certain pairs of shoes. HDWK has had a great influence of sock taking off though. ;)

[Craigels]

So that's why I've been getting the urge to take my socks off
