Talk:Feign Amnesia

From This Might Be A Wiki

I'm gonna pretend I forgot about this song. Seriously though, it's okay. Certainly overshadowed by the awesomeness of the following song. Bacon warrior 23:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Prevenge

This song reminds me A LOT!!!! of Prevenge!!!! - GT2


Dammit, I like this song! I really don't understand all the anti-Feign Amnesia sentiment I've heard around. I love the sound, the harmonies, it's one of the songs from The Else that's most likely to get stuck in my head. It doesn't sound any more like Prevenge than, say, how much Experimental Film sounds like Bangs. --TVsKyle 20:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree. While every album since Apollo 18 seemed Linnell-dominated to me, The Else marks, with songs like this one, Careful What You Pack, and With The Dark, Flans' triumphant return to keeping all contributions to an album on the same high level. It's definitely his. And the train guitar noise is the ass-kickingest sound of all of The Else. - Whirrrlwind (Woosh!) 18:38, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate Lyrics?

As often happens with TMBG songs, when I heard the album version of this song, it sounded vaguely familiar, probably because I had already heard it as a demo at some point. The only thing is, I seem to remember the lyrics being different. Though I can't remember what the original chorus was, I don't think it was "feign amnesia." It's driving me crazy because it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't figure it out. Anyone else having this problem or am I just suffering from unfeigned amnesia?

I don't believe a similar song exists in demo format. If you can figure out which one you're thinking of, definitely let us know! -CapitalQ / @ / 15:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
It could just be that Finished With Lies and Prevenge were rolling in my head and formed some sort of amalgam that sounded similar to this. Or maybe I heard it previously on one of the podcasts. Or maybe all of these clever songs are just starting to bleed together.--KoopLaFez 05:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
