chemistry1973 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I downloaded the audiobook and it comes with 2 treated demos. They’re f***ing great! Weightier than what’s on MFH. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were recorded for MY FAVORITE HEADACHE, in 2000. 2 hours ago, NoahLutz said: Are these songs included with the Audible version of the book? Yes, at the end. I just jumped ahead to look for them. They're called "Gone" and "I Am, You Are." Both are on the mellow side, really. Think "The Angel's Share" or "Still." Now back to where I left the narrative... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry1973 Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 By the way. I can’t recommend the audible version enough. Geddy is a fantastic narrator. Listening to the chapter about his parents is incredible, harrowing and very touching. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the chapter about his parents is incredible, harrowing and very touching. Just downloaded my copy and listened to the songs. Haunting and lovely. Can't wait to start it. I got my audio copy through Libro.fm, which I changed over to a couple of years ago after Audible made changes to their files. I also like that my purchases give a local bookstore some funds which is nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Just listened to both, they sound pretty good, on par with most of the songs on My Favorite Headache. Hope he makes another solo record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Really good songs. It might be my imagination, but the harmonies on the first song sound a little strained. I get the impression that he recorded some vocal layers recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I am you are is the better song imo but gone is so emotional you can tell in his delivery. Ben is awesome!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The songs weren't released publicly until this week. The only way to hear it before this was the audio book which not all fans had access to. Get your facts straight before you decide what constitutes being a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 "I Am You Are" is the better of the two, for sure. "Gone" is OK, not as good as the ballads on MFH. It's just nice to hear his voice again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
