So I have had a constant question in my mind, and I actually posted this in a recent thread, but no one responded.
Lie's written chorus is this:
Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me you thought of me
I would
I swear I would
(Did)
I'll try
I swear I'll try
(Lie)
However, when I listen to the song, I can't hear "did" or "lie." Are they backing vocals, like the "love, deceit, death" part in Home's chorus?
EDIT: just fixed up a lyrical problem
-
Thats weird. I tried listening to it and couldn't hear anything either. I wonder if there's some story behind it.
-
I'll have to listen tonight.
This happens occasionally, Barenaked Ladies' One Week (which was a really popular song) has entire verses of lyrics that aren't in the song. I've never heard an explanation for those.
-
i noticed that a long time ago and it has always tugged at the back of my mind

Whoa, that's weird. I just listened to it several times in headphones cranked up and heard nothing.

Maybe it's Myung singing it.

But if Myung sang, your head would cave in from the sheer awesome power.

Same with Porcupine Tree's "The Nostalgia Factory."

I already asked this couple of months ago, this is still weird

I can hear someone repeating "lie" in the left channel after the 2nd and final choruses (2.28-2.37 and 4.48-4.58). I can also hear "did" in the final chorus (4.38-4.43). It's in the left channel too.

You will hear the recipe for a really ripping lens soup.
(Hoping someone will catch the reference)

When I first got the album when it came out eons ago I wondered it at the time. Will have to take a close listen to see if it's actually whispered or something.
-
I thought for years it was cause the first chorus they say the first line (won't and try) and the second chorus they say the second line (don't and lie).. but i heard it now and i was wrong hahaha. (i really don't pay attention to the singing, just the music)
now.. i have a new theory.. the first line is what they say as a lie (won't and try), and the second line that you don't hear is the true (don't, lie). Yep.. this work for me.
-
I faintly hear the "d" in "Did" in the first chorus, but I can't hear a "Lie" at all.

Yeah, I saw that thread, but it went off on a major tangent so I decided to make it again.
-
I hear it say "Lie" both times in the chorus that starts at 2:01. I used headphones.
-
I used headphones and can't here anything that sounds like any of that. I always assumed like most artist, the lyrics printed were the intended lyrics. They just didn't end up that way on the album but it was already being printed up.
-

Could you clarify? Is it a drawn out "Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee" or a short "Lie"? And when in the chorus is it, exactly?
-
maybe these are just annotations, don't have to sing it out, i guess

Look at my previous post in this thread, there are timestamps. Also, it's repeating "lie" many times. They aren't "LLLLIIIIIEEE", they are quite short.

I probably need a good set of earphones to hear this, I'm unable to make out any of the "lie" or "did" with my earbuds.
-
I just tried it while tuning out the right speakers and I heard the "lie, lie, lie" and the "did, did, did" as well. Pretty cool.
-
Ah I was finally able to make it out and did the same thing you did tri.ad, tuned out the right channel and could make out the 'lie'. It sounds like Kevin Moore may have said those.
-
Still can't hear it. Is the "lie, lie, lie" on the beat?
-
It's really faint and kinda hard to make out really but it's there.
-

It's most definitely James LaBrie.

IMO it sounds like Kevin.

Since you guys heard it you now have to change the title of the thread.

Should it be "Lie -- difficult-to-hear lyrics"? :lol
-
Done.
-
I heard it. It is really faint and pretty tight. Most definately sounds like JLB in his soft warm voice.
-
Thats pretty cool.
I put my headphones on, cranked it, and moved the right cup out of the way so i was only listening to the left channel and sure enough - lie,lie,lie

I hear it in the left channel as well. Said in an almost sticatto manner. Definately James, with a lot of reverb it sounds like.
-
Kevin Moore sang it and the band edited it out after they decided Kevin was a douche.
