HowItIs Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I don't think so. Though it has been offered that since the one for S&A was called Hope, this one might be Hopeless..... Blame Pratt. He wrote that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broon's Bane is one of my single, all-time, favorite, pieces of music. L-O-V-E it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I like acoustic pieces just fine, but I don't find this one to be very strong. It's just some pretty noodling, without much in the way of structure or build. Closer To The Heart, however, is absolutely wonderful this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 He did in fact, play "hope" just before closer to the heart. If you can call it a song (I call it album filler), it was one of the three instrumentals on S&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see them this year or last? They definetely didn't play it last year. I saw them four times last year and twice this year, and at none of those shows did Alex play "Hope" before "Closer To The Heart," or, indeed, at all. The piece he's played before "Closer To The Heart" at all the shows I've seen is somewhat similar to "Hope," so if you don't like "Hope" and haven't listened to it very much, perhaps you simply mistook this acoustic composition for that one. I disagree with your assessment that "Hope" is "filler" rather than a song, but would agree with it to describe the piece he's played at the Time Machine shows I've seen.

I did a quick google search and search of this forum and didn't come up with anything You're better off watching a video of the piece on YouTube or waiting until the DVD comes out and figuring it out on your own (not just because the chances of it getting tabbed are slim-to-none, but because there's no better way to learn something than by figuring it out for yourself ). It shouldn't be too hard either since the video should be 100% focused on Alex. Edited May 2, 2011 by Scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
