Re: The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor
I agree with Soda 150% regarding Top Of The Stairs. I seem to recall an interview where Timothy explained how he went about achieving all of the harmonies with something like 60+ layers of recording himself singing all of the parts. NOT an easy - or quick - process. The final product is a truly remarkable blend that is complex and beautiful and exhibits an awesome range that few vocalists possess.
For this round my vote goes to Don't Give Up.
Re: The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor
I also agree with Soda and VOL about Top of the Stairs. LOVE that song for so many reasons!
I vote for Don't Give Up

I vote for White Boy from Sacramento.
Re: The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor
Well, although I appreciate the vocal stylings of Top of the Stairs, I'm just not that crazy about the melody. Also, generally speaking, I like instruments in rock music so I wouldn't mind hearing some here. :wink: I think the lyrics are romantic, but the problem for me is that I don't find the arrangement, falsetto acapella, or tempo romantic so the song seems rather disjointed to me.
Anyway, I think that it's time for it to go, but Don't Give Up is next on my list after that. So when I'm ready to vote, I'll go for either of them if my vote will help to eliminate one of these songs.
Re: The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor
I better get my vote in here early because if I wait I'm liable to be too late, as I was last round.
I vote again for Was It Just The Moonlight. It just doesn't do anything for me.
Re: The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor
Does anyone know, Is that Tim's wife Jean in the "Don't Give Up" video? It looks a little like her. I'm not sure what she looked like when she was younger, but that girl in the video looks like it could be her???
In any case, my vote this round goes to. IN ROXY"S EYES
Re: The Best of Timothy B. Schmit Survivor
I certainly agree about Top of the Stairs... it is a unique showcase of Timothy's abilities as a singer, a songwriter AND arranger. Therefore this round I vote Don't Give Up
