1977. You look your wife straight in the eyes, as you slow dance to your ballroom playlist on vinyl. But, it just sounds off. Maybe the record is scratched? You want to go check, but your wife tells you “This is exactly how I remember it! So joyful, don’t you think Archie?” You respond by saying “Yeah.” Trying to silence the paranoia in your mind. You feel like something is off, but it might be old age.
As soon as I read the wife's remark my mind's ear heard it in Edith's voice and then Archie's reply in his. Anyone that's seen All in the Family or Archie Bunker's Place knows exactly what I'm saying
@@AJ_Deadshow happens to most songs in the album with me, I can't memorise a single note in Stage 3 but if you were like "hey guess this song" and showed me a stage 3 song i'd be like "yes i know this one its blank"
🎶Smoke from a chimney Means a log on the fire And a log on the fire means love Love means that you'll be In my arms at twilight And that's what I'm dreaming of. It's been so lonely to live With such a memory If you would only forgive And once more let me see. Smoke from a chimney And a log on the fire And you're there waiting for me.🎶
The one song in EATEOT that I listen to without feeling existential. I'm just vibing, especially when the brass has that little "ba ba, ba da, du baaaaaa" moment.
Imagine living long with your beloved, after years of isolation and being alone, and suddenly forgetting about them and being alone again forever...that terrifies me.
"Their dread has grown more, but they keep fighting, believing in a hope that it's a lie, they want to live more, they want to admire their children more before it fades, they'll believe later on that's its speaking truth, but they'll keep refusing, and admire their life, before the dread grows more."
Looking into each other's eyes, recalling the happiest times of our lives. Sharing smiles while the lights slowly fade out, and nothing else left in there
im 24, and I really love this kind of older music, but I just cant pinpoint the genre. Its so rich and beautiful and melodic. It has so much more information and melody inside it than a lot of the stuff I normally listen to. each lead tone has a new chord under it, the rhythm has a groove and meshes perfectly with the melody. I wish we incorperated this in our music more nowadays. its just so dense and rich
I don't know why, but for some reason the horn thing at 0:14 always gave me the feeling that something is just off, it still gives me goosebumps even after hearing this song several times.
The horns here really remind me of the horns that come in at the start of stage 3, just a much more muted version than what's going to happen later in the album, when they almost sound angry and in pain.
This is my favorite song in part 1 because of how sad and joyful it is. It calmed me down enough to sleep last night while I was listening to the whole album. Also dementia Tetris for like 3 seconds: 0:35
What I hear: A younger loved one helping their dear old family member remember something beloved. They've known for a while that their elder's memories have been getting holes in them--but they know of this one story said elder shared. So the elder and their younger family member look into each other's eyes as they take a moment to turn back time--and they remember! They remember the music they used to dance with! And who they danced with! Oh yes, they remember the one they loved, and just how happy they were on that dance floor! What a pretty little night that was! If only they could do it all again... "But you are." Another long gaze into each other's eyes...and a hug. Perhaps this may not be enough to create a lasting memory. But it HAS created a smile. This is enough...for the time being.
Knowing we're all in the end of time, it makes me feel uneven like I'm the only one that knows everything and everyone. How life really is, IS this album. I love this in every way!
A Song that gives that Feeling of Joy and Happiness, but then when you look back at the past, it gives that Feeling of Sadness And Emptiness... The Feeling of losing someone special in your life.
The title of this track and the sound combine to make this somehow just brutally sad. Associating the title with the music brings up memories of my ex girlfriend for me. The whine of what i believe to be a violin evokes pretty classical feelings of sadness, but there's moments where it almost sounds like a ballroom waltz. It brings up memories that I cherish, and then makes me long for them all at once. There never will be a feeling like looking into the eyes of someone you love. I wish I told her I loved her. Maybe she would still be here then.
This may be weird , but when I search something that isn’t aproppiate this song pops up in my head , it’s like a warning of that I am more than that or that I can live without searching that for today , maybe later but not today

*this song playing lightly in a echoey room on a record player.* “This song is so beautiful... my love.” “I remember dancing with you to this song.. oh how nice that was. We could dance for hours.” *silence.* “What’s wrong my dear-?” “I’m sorry my love... But I’ve never heard this song?” “It’s only gotten worse.. hasn’t it-..?”
The actual melody is quite warming and pleasant, but there's something "off" about it, the trumpets sound quite detached from the rest of the song, and the melody just feels a bit sluggish at times.
i'm here again after months i stopped listening to any songs from eateot, of course including the "it's just a burning memory" because it gives me anxiety... idk but honestly i kinda miss the moment the first time i heard some good songs from that album. and that's why i made a playlist just for my fave songs from eateot. you can find it on my channel's playlist. crazy, these songs will eventually haunt me and will be on loop in my mind for the next 1234567890 days lol probably i won't listen to these songs after this day that i heard these. 10-20-21 p.s. i commented this the same comment on other fave songs/tracks from eateot album so if ever you see me there, don't mind me. i just want to note the date today. :'))
I got nostalgia cause was thinking f a game that's dead and then this started playing. I would call it something like fond memories when it played and just made it all the more sad

Every day, the man comes downstairs and sits on his chair. It is his quiet space. He sits on the chair everyday. And he will continue to sit on the chair everyday. Some of these days, maybe they are the same day, maybe they are months apart, people he does not know come into the room. He does not recognize their faces and feels uncomfortable about heir presence. His wife reassures him, tell him they are invited. He grumbles, for he does not remember her telling him they were expecting guests. He does not notice the guests are gone. He is still sat on the chair. He cannot think properly. Paralyzed in inaction, he scours his mind for ideas, anything of something to do, motivation to move. The day turns to dark and he barely sees his wife moving around him in his blurred peripheral. She goes up to bed early that night. Yet there he sits, on the chair of his. His reoccurring headache was back again. He looked at the photographs around the room, all pictures of strangers. He would have been insulted that he wasn't even there, but the fact of the matter was he barely remembered what he himself looked like anyway. So he continued to sit on his chair, until the dark of night stole him to sleep and his confusing nightmares he was plunged into once again. When he woke up he was sat on the chair. He did not know when he had sat down from this chair. For all he knew, this chair was his beginning and end. Lingering in neither the past nor the future, the present dragged infinitely. Yet he sat on the chair, empty minded and emotionless. A woman he did not know came in and tried to kiss him that day. He could not make much from her features but he knew she was very pretty. He pushed the woman away, he already had a wife anyway. Didn't he? The woman stepped back, hand to her mouth and walked out, crying. Leaving the man in his room. Sat on his chair. As he always has been. And he always will be, unto the end of his time.
4:33 If you hear well, you will realize that there is an eco/Delay effect. Maybe this effect is in all song and we never realized. That would mean this is basicly the most distorted song in Stage 1. Still, is the easiest song hear
Ah this is so nice, pleasant, and relaxing. So....this album series is just six hours of old ballroom and ragtime tunes? Great! What could possibly go wrong ???
This is what I’m thinking about, your siting outside with your wife. You see a few bees near a tree but then you see them fade, you start to see everything else fade including your wife. Your so confused but then wake up in a hospital. You see a lady and she yells “oh dear, Doctor! Their awake!” Your so confused but see the doctor enter and he seems worried. What happened? It’s been 2 years, your wife had died and you almost had a heart attack due to the news. MY wife is she ok?! The doctor looks at you and says, “sir I said she died, you need to move on.”
Here’s a little fake story. I wake up Realize it’s my birthday My parents say happy birthday, They give me cake. It’s my favorite, cheese cake I hug both of them, I go to school I get into class, My best friends forgot that it’s my birthday I say nothing. Go home, parents are not there. I smell a bad stench, I look in my parents room, There’s blood, I feel an unwelcome presence. I realize I’m not the only one there
Other people say hello to me and I see that YOU CANT DO THAT and I know why the sun is so yellow and more hot None people wants me to play with them just cause im little than others And that means that I dont have heart the water is so sad for me bye bye my friend Everyone likes to play with me He dont like to play withe me Just with the other ones through me Nothing else than love means to hate me Else my little friend Please play with me My little friend Just like what I did
