This is wild! He might have someone transcribing for him who's rewording to capture the "gist" of his comments.... but I think the reason it might not sound "Lindsey" to us is that we're so used to him using the same phrases that we won't believe it's really him until he tweets about paintings vs. film, big machines vs. small machines, and how these new songs are the best work he's ever done.
Seriously though, he has a rehearsed voice for interviews, and along with that, considered and deliberate phrasing with an impressive vocabulary. I agree that this doesn't match up with that, but maybe this is his more natural, conversational voice - and on Twitter, one must use the shorter words. I used his Twitter to beg for "Soul Drifter" despite the fact that he reacted so badly when I suggested it several years ago. I figured, "Why not give it another shot?" Maybe now, because the lyrics are so perfect for his current situation, he'll reconsider. I'm a soul drifter And I'm out of this town Ain't no use hangin' round You see My heart was broken My part was spoken Now the ground has opened All around me I'm a soul drifter And it's out of my hands So it's off to other lands You see It's a new dawn So it's so long For the soul lifter The soul drifter That's me Last edited by sodascouts; 08-29-2018 at 07:17 AM.. |

Soul Drifter is one of my faves. On an album full of faves.
How did he react badly?

He was playing two nights in Chicago and he'd already played a show earlier that evening. He had been varying encores at his previous shows, much to everyone's delight. He asked us if we had a song we'd like to hear him do for the encore the next night in Chicago (there was a group of us). People started suggesting several songs. He turned to me. I said "Soul Drifter" and his expression dropped from a smile to a stone-faced stare. Shoot - I've pissed him off, I thought, and I quickly said, "Or 'Down on Rodeo'." The smile immediately returned and he said, "Yes, I might do that one." It wasn't just because he wanted us to suggest songs off his latest album - other people suggested old stuff like "Johnny Stew" and he didn't have that reaction. Who knows.

That's hilarious about Down on Rodeo though. Nice save! Does he have a bit of a complex about OOTC as a whole, perhaps? There's an interaction with fans on the GOS tour montage where someone asks "So Lindsey, will you be doing any songs from OOTC?" and Lindsey seems to give him a less than enthusiastic response, just saying "We'll see."

this is awesome. it's so cool to hear him expressing himself in such a different style than that which we've been accustomed to in interviews etc. I never thought he couldn't actually physically type out a text but so many famous twits let assistants handle the sorting through comments and picking which ones to respond to it seemed possible here too. The fact that it's actually him is great; no one is filtering.

His strategy around utilizing social media is spot on. He's out there today tweeting with Fans....Sounds like "Down on Rodeo" is in the mix, most of the musicians from Buck Vie are joining him and Australia is a possibility
I am sure he's watched the Ellen snippets (everyone looks at the car wreck on the side of the road) and seen all the reviews. And today he comes out chatting with fans on Twitter. Love this. |

This (potential) news has succeeded completely pushed the Ellen performance out of my head. Awesome!
