If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels but to not have love? I am only a resounding gong, clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge. And if I have a faith that can move mountains but to not have love? I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to the hardships that I may boast, but to not have love? I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. At the end of my childhood, I put these ways behind me. For now we only see reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully even as I am fully known. And now these two remain.
awesome! this song is actually one of the only versions that i prefer off of the face-to-face version, besides also high to death. so it’s nice to hear it a bit more low fi :)
Overall I prefer the Face to Face version for everything except the closing monologue for Nervous Young Inhumans (as I like it being more meta). I appreciate Will's effort on Mirror to Mirror as that was still a good album but I think it was ultimately too ambitious for the resources he had, and the recording style on the original with everything drowned in reverb is not my cup of tea. I think the production and the extra layers added by Face to Face (such as the synth part in Cute Thing, and making everything sound bigger and fuller rather than it sounding like you're sitting at the corner of an empty room while will plays from the other corner) really did Twin Fantasy justice. What I do really like about Mirror to Mirror is that it's inspirational, it shows you don't need to have ridiculous equipment or an expert producer by your side to make a great album. But that's just my opinion :)
@@Desman1835 i think it just comes down to taste. i LOVEEEE the 2011 nervous young inhumans, i know the whole discography and it’s one of my fav songs. i think the face to face version is by far the worst face to face song. i think high to death is one of the best face to face versions, because the mirror to mirror is veryyy distorted and echoing, a bit hard to listen to IMO lol. but i prefer the closing track on mtm, intro track as well. for beach life in death, there’s parts i like of both versions. the longer “dogsssss” part, and the way it excels in the “there are lots of fish left in the sea” part are both great in the 2018 version, but the first “last night i dreamed he was trying to kill you” hits way better in the 2011 version. both have their pros and cons. cute thing is the weakest track on the album in my opinion, but still both version are better in different areas. overall, i prefer mirror to mirror. it just feels more raw and authentic in a lot of ways. though, i think it’s insightful to more of where will is at now to try and understand why he made all the changes that he made. however, i do think that Famous Prophets (Stars) is one of the best songs of all time. i still love the 2011 version; but i think this song lends the best to a cleaner, more coherent and tight sound. i really think it’s just down to taste which one you enjoy the most 👍🏼 and it can change over time. my favorite CSH album, and prob favorite album of all time is How to Leave Town.
@Natas yeah, I agree its down to taste and I appreciate you sharing your viewpoint, I'll try to listen to MTM soon again and see if it hits different now that I have some new ways to look at it. Personally Twin Fantasy is also my favorite, and I haven't gone through CSH's full discography, only Twin Fantasy, Teens of Denial and Teens of Style, Teens of Style is the weakest but I still liked it
@@Desman1835 yeah, the reason teens of style is weak is because it is entirely rerecording of older songs from different albums. I would manly recommend listening to the albums how to leave town and nervous young man, also the living while starving EP is very good. also monomania is great, more or less a successor to twin fantasy
no me arrepiento de quererte tanto, estoy feliz de conocerte, quiero ver tus ojos posarse otra vez sobre mi, sentir tus manos en mi cara, y tus labios en mi frente. Llegará el día donde nos amemos sin importar si el mundo se acabá, voy a construir ese porvenir
If I recall correctly, this mixing along with the weird Beach Life-In-Death video were leaked by a friend of Will Toledo before the album came out. I found most of the videos on my channel through this Car Seat Headrest demo spreadsheet, which I highly recommend checking out! I mostly uploaded these so I could listen to them without having to use Google's weird audio player... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zk_hT51hDYj-YgGZQ-S8sjTtHAt9GD9lZl9sXMwSdfU/edit?usp=sharing
no dejo de quererte por más cosas que pasen, y simplemente no voy a dejar de hacerlo, no en un largo rato. Pero quiero pensar en mi, quiero aprender a vivir para mi para vivir por ti sanamente.
porqué siempre haces lo mismo??? me haces sentir como lo peor del mundo, alejandote y haciendo todo lo contrario a lo que sientes Quiero mejorar, ser la persona que quieres. ¿Porqué no puedes hacer lo mismo por mi?
el amor no recíproco es una mierda del tamaño de una casa. realmente, como los temas tratados en twin fantasy, las relaciones unilaterales de este tipo salen más a raíz de la ausencia de amor propio y la incapacidad de encontrar satisfacción en tu propia piel, ya sea porque no tenés idea de como hacerlo o desde una edad temprana has crecido en un entorno que no ha dejado que florezcas. pero importas, mucho, y vos solamente podes reconocer esa importancia que tenés. recordá lo que dijo Will en I Can Play The Piano: "El mañana te despierta, podés ver un espacio suficientemente amplio para vos, para crecer, vivir, y ser vos mism@ para solo vos". tenés que reconocer tu valor como persona para dejar de buscar ese valor en aquellas personas que simplemente por circunstancias de la vida no son capaces de dártelo. es tu trabajo como ser humano, y es lo que más te va a llenar por el resto de tu vida. espero que a día de hoy te estés sintiendo mejor. muchísima suerte averiguando qué hacer con tu vida, yo también estoy en esa lucha.
