while we were in vancouver for the RW and Co show, we rehearsed in the hotel and worked on acoustic versions. this is a clip of an idea for an acoustic version of brilliant. just so ive said it, i have no idea if this is anything like what we will record, but i like the riff and the simplicity of it.

Kevin’s keys are hauntingly beautiful, as usual. Nice job.
(I thought I was the only one here that got up this early!)
no im always up

I REALLY like it!
I always love an acoustic version, and i agree with ‘adelemcalear’… Kev’s keyboarding sounds great! Come to thing of it… is keyboarding a word?
beautiful!!! The more I hear, the more excited I get for this acoustic album!!!
As you said, it’s really simple, and yet, it’s sounds beautiful.
Just wondering David, do you have an idea of when the album will be done (and out)? Like… late 2007 or somewhere in 2008 ?
It’s so different while still capturing the same essence of the original - love it!!! I think the end result will be beautiful. Am very excited to hear the new takes on some other familiar songs
Hi
Sounds really good. Really great to be able to hear the work in progress. Keep it coming.
Thanks
Joce : )
am i the only one who’s heart still jumps when i see david reply to a blog? I know he reads them..it’s just nice to have re assuring proof.
so far it sounds beautiful david
and almost…cute.. in a way? can a song sound cute…
and i mean that in a strong way..not in a ” awee how cute” way..
yeah, that really doesn’t make a lot of sense does it.
ahh i can’t wait for this acoustic record.

kevin’s good!
always liked his keyboarding style : )
“is it brilliant where you are, where the lights are low….”
Well, I was up early this morning too, and was listening to “Brilliant” so that’s spooky. The core of this song was always melancholic (for me, anyway) so it’s lovely to hear such an emotive keyboard arrangement in the early stages. It will be exquisite. Thank you.

I’ve always loved the feel of anything acoustic and with the way David’s music moves me I honestly can’t wait for the CD. Should I put that on my Christmas or Mother’s Day list? Thanks for the snippets(tease) as your work unfolds.
AWESOME! i love simple acoustic like it! i dont know who played guitar but he’s very good! Was it Gerry? anyway… Kev’s the best keys player. Nice team ! So I’ll see you guys next October 20th =]
I have to agree - it’s haunting and beautiful … I look forward to hearing more! It is like a snapshot, hearing these clips as you post them… like I am looking in a window that turns out to look out over an entirely new world. When you look back on this whole process, it will be interesting to know if you see something else - something you were looking for that you did not know you were searching for
at the very least the music tell its own story !

jonathan gallivan does the guitar…
he’s excellent, he also does stunning websites and graphics….
And he’s a big Canucks fan too…:-)
Loved it very much, you guys are awesome!
Hi
loved it ! and the idea of acoustic version would give another vision of your songs
but no matter what happens, don’t ever think about stopping your rockin’ version in shows !:)
You guys are genious. Can’t wait to see you all in Montreal…
Finally got a chance to listen…sounds beautiful, almost like a different song.
It’s so beautiful, and I agree it’s sounds melancholic.
I was feeling like watching beautiful sunset…….
Cat’t wait!!!!
just got back from rehearsal, i think we may play one of the new songs on the tour
Really??? Which one??
Hi David!
i love how you can take an old song, and give it some new magic!… kind of like what you guys did with Gasoline and Believe Me back in the Moist days… sounds well, brilliant!!!
looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!! not that you need it, but, good luck!
