"THE LONG WAY BACK"- Where We Land Album

[jenny]

I've just realised there is no thread for this song.
I absolutely adore it right and it is my favourite after Alone.
I really can't stop listening to it.
It's one of the more upbeat songs with a great melody. I love the piano fill ins as well and the guitar solo. And the lyrics: "If there's room in life for hope then there's time for us"
Fantastic song!

I've managed to sort of work out the notes for the piano fill ins but if anyone can work out the guitar chords it will be greatly appreciated. We have a war child gig in October and I'd love to attempt this song. (If I can convince the rest of the band) ;D

Jenny, I am with you, its my favourite with Alone and All I Want Is You.
I find myself putting this one on repeat too. I agree about the great melody. After hearing it only once, I knew I loved it and was walking around humming it.

Brilliant song. Definitely up there in the top 3 for me

[Leithal Dame]

This is up there for me too. In fact I voted for it to be the next single. Mind you, that doesn't indicate much since I've just asked if I can vote for more than one. Secretly, I'm hoping they don't give me too much leeway cuz I'd be voting for all the originals!

Maybe I should stop listening to the album cuz I keep thinking I've pinned down the favourite but then the next song starts and I'm lost again!

[Mi chiamano Kami]

Changing favourites is good - it means you'll probably still want to listen to the album years in the future! ;D

This is one of my 12 favourite songs on the album too... The first time I heard it I was reminded a lot of James Blunt's "Wisemen", but as I've listened to it more it's developed an original character for me, and I don't really draw that comparison any more. Probably my favourite lyrics out of all the songs on the album (although I believe my interpretation of them is probably very much different to that intended), and even though the production of it gets in the way of Damien's voice a bit, I still like it. I would love to get a concert recording of this one. ;D

There's a bit in this - I think the technical term in 'the bridge' - where it reminds me of Billy Joel, specifically 'My Life'. I think it's cos it sounds like there are 3 Damos singing simultaneously, same as Billy's song. Except that has 3 Billy's instead of Damo's

[CarlaM]

I am still loving this song. It's really different and so catchy. Still up there in my top few favourites.
I love the end of it where D says "I lost my breath today...oh yeah".....

My mum listened to the whole of the album for the first time today, and she has one favourite already.. The Long Way Back ;D

It's one of my very favourites too!
