it's been bothering me for awhile, i heard the intro to the song in a student film I saw.

I'm sure the song isn't similar at all, but on the intro it hit's a chord a few times and then does the "flutter down" sound that is sort of also in 1979.

anyone have any clue, I know this is a shitty description but i can't figure it out, and i can't find the student film on youtube either

it seems a little slower paced than 1979 as well.

^communicating threats.

Please don't. I think the song you are looking for is called "how soon is now?" by the Smiths.

james blunt's 1973 is only 6 off.

1/28/2008 1:49:26 AM

1/29/2008 3:28:19 AM

the key is the "fluttery" sound, and the slightly slower tempo. the flutter in this songs i think starts higher than the one in 1979

try Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

1/30/2008 12:26:05 PM

nah I think it's slower than that, with a more pronounced flutter, lol.

good suggestion though since silversun pickups are a not as good version of the smashing pumpkins.

Did you try the suggestion of The Smiths "How Soon Is Now?"

1/30/2008 12:34:30 PM

1/30/2008 12:34:30 PM
