We will Fall

Quote :

And it's a gazillion times better than the Doors My Wild Love.

Thats a greats song!!

I love that song, great album too, i really like it, theyre equally good, you have to be in a mood for we will fall, most listens depending on how much time i have i would skip it but i love it

HJW

I've really tried to listen to it all the way through...just can't do it.

But since everything else on the album is great, who cares?

The bass and guitar (which sounds more unearthly than ever, and with no less impact for being quiet) CERTAINLY make this track worth listening to. Don't know if anyone actually likes that viola though.

I like the viola.

I like the viola too, adds a gd bit to it, im not sure it fits into the whole chanting thing, but i think it works

Sorry to bring this topic up again... I was just wondering about the background vcals on We Will Fall : does anybody know who exactly sang them ? Was it only Dave, Ron and Scott, or did others sing too (Iggy, John Cale...) ? I tried to listen to it loud, to distingish the different voices, but couldn't, except that on the "ran ja ja ran" part, a kinda plaintive voice is noticeable (Dave?).

I think its just Dave, Ron, Scott and Iggy doing the backing bits. I think Iggy chanted as well as it wasn't recorded live in the studio.

L.A. Blues is where the "I am you" came from...it's at the very end of the song.

Serious? Lol, i'll have to listen again, musta missed it, though i dont pay much attention to it when it comes on, thanks

Yeah right at the end Iggy says "I am, I am, I am you"

And I like "We Will Fall" helps if you're not exactly sober though

I've always wondered about this as well. I like what you say about Dave possibly sounding like the 'plaintive' one

we will fall is the most mezmerizing song i have ever heard

it's pretty lame if you think it's one of their worst songs.

Really??? I've listened to the song all the way through numerous times! I like it.

Yeah I think its great.
I gotta admit it's a 'grower' you have to be in the right mood i think. but then i do love the velvets too.
maybe if it was at the end of the record...

even tho i really like it i usually do forward past it if i'm listening to the album in my car. just cuz its such a change in energy from "dog".
I NEED TO KEEP RAWKIN MAN!!!
;D

When this thread started a lot of people seem to dislike the song.
It gave me the idea that if you like it you really must be a weird hippie or somethin.
Also the Stooges themselves didn't like the song so much. It was a 'Dave' song. a filler for the album.

For me when i heard it for the first time the song was a statement that the Stooges seemed broader influenced with their music. Which made me curious for more. Well.. but it was just a chance of circumstance that it was released.. had not much to do with a certain music attitude the Stooges were developing. slight bummer.
Anyway.. I like the drone quality of it.. it's monotones.. a very pleasant change to listen at.. like gettin stoned in 10 minutes without the side effects

didn't they? I remember reading about Ron saying that other people don't like it but that he was proud of the work he did on it

Iggy's said that he quites like it to. I don't know what Scott says of it but then again Scott doesn't say much about anything They must have been a bit happy with it they did take it into the studio.
