I'm sorry to see Pearl on a String go...I love it...:nope:
I am tempted to join AT & go for This Waltz, as my efforts to remove What I Should Do have been fruitless. There is nothing wrong with WISD per se; I just don't like the harmonies much. I am sticking with it. What I Should Do again.
As for I Refuse, I think it's the best track on the album.
Same here!
As for "This Waltz," I am really torn about it. I believe the chorus is the most powerful piece of music on the entire album. In the right mood, I even got a bit choked up to it. The melody is beautifully done and the lyrics are sung with such emotion. It's amazing.
But... it takes so long to get there. I think we don't hear the chorus until more than three minutes in, and the verses aren't nearly on the same level. The tricky thing about solo work (I imagine) is it's hard to edit yourself down - and I think that's probably what happened here.
Still, that chorus... I can't vote for something that moved me that much! I want it to stay!
So... I guess I'll wait and see if I need to vote to save "This Waltz." If I had been more strategic, "Pearl on the String" would've still been here! Shame on me!
Well, since no one else has voted yet, I guess I'll throw in with FP to save "This Waltz".
I cast my vote for What I Should Do.
I like its lyrics, but its melody isn't as strong as some of the others.
Okay, I'm a little sorry for voting for "My Hat" in the last two rounds. It's pretty rich sounding, and I didn't notice it before. I was using earbuds in the last week, but with headphones, the song is better. My vote goes for It's Alright.
Given past voting history, I would have thought that It's Alright would be odds on to go next. Time will tell.
I will vote for It's Alright
As I already said, What I Should Do is among the top songs on my list. The bluesy vibe makes it stand out from the more country-flavored tunes that dominate the album.
As far as It's Alright, it's definitely time for it to go IMO. Although it does have lovely lyrics, that's about all it has going for it to me. I think This Waltz has a much sexier vibe to it because the music and melody complement the lyrics rather than detract from them. So, hopefully, others will join me here ...
I cast my vote for It's Alright.
One more thing, I'm going out to dinner tonight so the results of this round may be a little late. Either Soda or I will post them first chance we get.
I vote for It's Alright
I vote for It's Alright - It's an ok song but a bit dull.
Almost let this slip away. I vote for It's Alright.
It doesn't look like my vote can save It's Alright. I'm voting for What I Should Do. I like it but there are others I like more, so maybe voting for it now will help save another song later. I'm a little surprised Red Dirt Road hasn't gotten a vote yet. I like it and understand it being the first focus track but I don't love it as much as some of the other songs that are left.
The next song to be eliminated in Leap of Faith Survivor is It’s Alright. “It’s Alright”, the tribe has spoken and trouble wasn’t so far away. This game wasn’t made for you to seek your fortune and fame. Outside the rain is pouring down, but you must leave the island immediately.

I'm voting for This Waltz the only part of this song that I enjoy is the chorus, if it wasn't for that I would have voted for it sooner.
What I Should Do....
I've been meaning to post about this since last week, but I kept forgetting. Just as an FYI, the board clock is off by about 7 minutes. Soda is investigating how to correct it, but as of now we are taking this into account as far as votes registering by the deadline for each round.
As far as this round, I'm in hopes that What I Should Do does not go down this soon. I can't call for a coalition to save it because I have no idea which songs our players would be inclined to vote for. But, if I could I might suggest folks who want to save it consider voting for All Those Faces or Red Dirt Road.
I love What I Should Do...so I'm taking your advice Dreamer...I vote for Red Dirt Road
Red Dirt Road
I hope this helps save This Waltz for another round too.
Red Dirt Road
Well, I vote according to my personal taste. I vote for This Waltz again.
I missed a round, so I'd better get in quick with This Waltz.
I vote for This Waltz
I like What I Should Do but I don't want to see Red Dirt Road go just yet. I would prefer to vote out All Those Faces.
I agree with what others say about the chorus of This Waltz, which is lovely and has very nice vocals by Timothy. However the chorus doesn't even show up until the song is almost half over. The second time around, horns start blaring at the end and kind of ruin it for me. I wish he would have just stuck to the harmonica as a nice subtle touch.
Given that This Waltz would have been my next choice after All Those Faces and that Red Dirt Road is getting votes, I vote for This Waltz.
I vote for What I Should Do. It's nice enough, but I like the rest so much better.
And votes for Red Dirt Road? I love it and it's in my top three. :sad:
I do like Red Dirt Road. But, the album is very consistent so I think it's much more likely that there will be a greater variation in voting than in, say, The Long Run.
I do also like having Song Survivor games on more obscure albums. At least, obscure compared to the main Eagles releases. I hope we get more solo album song survivor games in the future.
Wow - I thought for sure Red Dirt Road wouldn't get votes this early! I think it's great!
Well, I can't vote for Last Waltz either...
Guess I'll throw away my vote on a third party candidate. ;)
I cast my vote for What I Should Do.
Well - Sadly, it looks like This Waltz is going down so I guess I'll vote strategically ...
I cast my vote for All Those Faces.
The next song to be eliminated in Leap of Faith Survivor is This Waltz. “This Waltz”, the tribe has spoken and you just got a large dose of what’ real. You must be feeling blue and way too sad. Sometimes it’s hard, but try to keep your chin up real high as you waltz off the island.

What I Should Do again
This round and the last rounds were tough votes. I like "What I Should Do" because it reminds me of the style of songs from Glenn's solo work. I guess I'll just stick to my previous vote --> Red Dirt Road
Well - Sorry FP, but I'm going to do my best to try to make sure you keep voting for What I Should Do. :wink:
Based on the last round, it looks like there may be a fair amount of support for voting for Red Dirt Road so for those who want to save What I Should Do, let's see if we can get a coalition together to vote for Red Dirt Road. If that doesn't work out, I'll join in to vote for any song necessary to save WISD.
I'll vote for Red Dirt Road, too.
It's time for a new apprach. I've voted for the ones I like least, so far. Unfortunately that means the ones I like most have already gone. So what's left?
My Hat - I love the lyrics. Timothy admitting to being grumpy and behaving badly on occasion. I can't remember the tune, so I'd better listen again.
All Those Faces - this is the one with the "Leap of Faith" line. I have a problem that few of the songs on this album get lodged in my brain so I'm going to have to listen again.
I Refuse - I like this. This is Timothy explaining that he doesn't get into other people's fights. One of my favourites of those remaining.
What I Should Do - now this is one that I can hear without playing the track. It's catchy and I like the sentiments. We're really getting the TBS philisophy on this album.
Red Dirt Road - the focus track. I prefer it without the accordian. I like it but it doesn't wow me.
So two to fight for and three that require further listening. I'm prepared to enter into a coalition to save What I Should Do.
ETA: after another listen, I might be prepared to sacrifice My Hat for Red Dirt Road.
At this point I love all of the songs remaining so I'm going to have to go with the one that I enjoy least, What I Should Do
Tricky. I really like all the remaining songs. And the rest of the album really.
Having revised all the songs (it's that close), I've decided to vote for What Should I Do. I really like the rhythm and the electric piano, but I have to vote for something.
I like R&B vibe of What I Should Do and at 5:27 minutes, it's not offensively long.
I guess I can understand why Red Dirt Road is getting votes; for some it may be too "country." But it's one of my favorites and Timothy chose to premiere it on his website out of all the other songs; I bet he's proud of it.
I think I'll have a re-listen to All Those Faces and My Hat. I've kind of forgotten how My Hat sounds. I did write down some brief notes earlier, and I rated All Those Faces a 2+ (losing points b/c it's >7:00 minutes long!) and gave My Hat a 3+. So I'm not voting yet, still deciding.
One thing I'll mention to those who want to form a coalition - we can't afford to split our votes. So if you want to ...
Save What I Should Do!!!
VOTE FOR RED DIRT ROAD!!!
If you insist. I vote for Red Dirt Road.
Of the songs left, What I Should Do is my least favorite, so I vote for it.
ETA: I love Red Dirt Road! No way am I voting for it yet!
