they do not sound like avril lavigne..... that is the worst thing u could say about them.... avril lavigne sucks... but eisley however... i wish they could replace avril....they are much much much better.
Interesting topic. Eisley has nothing to do with Christian music on any level. sorry. More interesting for music industry geeks - WB and YouTube couldn't meet eye to eye on the $ part of their relationship so WB pulled their band's proper videos. All they left on our channel were in-studio clips, etc. Working on posting more. Funny - they didn't pull this posting (Memories). I guess because it's not on our channel; too hard to track down every post, which is why i don't really care :-) cheers.

Firstly, whats that matter? But Eisley is a indie-rock band. I havent really heard anything refering to God or anything, however I havent been listening to them for that long.
They wouldn't be making NEARLY as much money as they are now if they had gone the route of the Christian music industry. The name of their faith matters because some Christians out there are ignorant enough to not listen to good music if the band is not Christian. Though I am a Christian, I am not this way. I definitely don't think you have to be a Christian to write amazing music
Its true you don't have to be a Christian to make awesome music. But those who listen exclusively to Christian artists do so because of content issues in mainstream music (i.e, sex, violence, language, drugs, alcohol, ect). It has nothing to do with how they sound. Christian music focuses on being uplifting and worshipful. However, Eisley probably would have made just as much money had it gone the Christian route. The Christian music industry is pretty big.
About the money thing, believe me. My brother was in the Christian music buisness for awhile. It's not as easy as it sounds, though I'm sure neither is the secular music industry. But, in the bigger secular industry there is much more money to be had
You make it sound as if they refuse to play for secular people. Its the secular people who don't want to listen to Christian music, or are just uninterested. And besides, 78.4 percent of Americans claim to be Christians. Wouldn't that mean that they are going after seventy percent of America's population?
It was the idea of them going the christian market route that disturbed me. I just think that christians are selfish and want to create their own culture without caring about people outside the church. your comment showed that the Christian music industry is not about making good art that glorifies God, it is about making money and creating music that is "safe". The seventy per cent is inaccurate because it doesn't take into account how many are bible believing or practising christians.
One of the purposes of the music is to appeal to non-believers. Demon Hunter, for instance. Glorifying God is another purpose of Christian music.
As to money, I don't know the artists in question, so I can't speak for them. But I do know from what they (the bands I listen to) have said that they love God, and that He is their inspiration to make music.
Yes, the seventy percent is inaccurate. My point was that Christian music has a large audience, including non-Christians.
So by appealing you mean marketing faith through the music?? I actually respect Demon Hunter because their just about making metal music and the metal sub-culture. Lot's of bands are about glorifying God and making art but "christian labels" only exist like any other business to make money, they marker their cd's, the christian bookstores sell them for profit and the parents and youth pastors buy them as alternatives to secular music, It's a culture and some good bands get caught in it.
It would be very difficult for those musicians to sell CDs to people if they couldn't make any money. Its their job. Even pastors get a salary. And what's wrong with sharing your faith through music? Is it only allowed in a Church? Through their music, they help bring people to Christ. That's what I admire most about them. I think it would be awesome if Christian music were mainstream. It isn't. So we need stores to advertise them. And Christian stores do that. What is your alternative?
My problem is how parents and pastor use "Christian music" as alternatives. Because of this it's not seen as something that brings people to christ but something christians can listen to instead of music that isn't "christian".
In other cases bands pick up on what us popular in the mainstream and then imitate it. As a result the christian music industry is nothing but an imitation and no amount of advertising can make people see it any other way.
Again, Christians like Christian music because of CONTENT. Not because we are an exclusive club, not because we wish to only give our money to Christians, not because we think secular music is not good enough.
This is liberally salted with non-Christian bands. It is music that celebrates promuscuity, drugs, violence, ect, which we generally avoid.
You may notice that those bands that go mainstream water down their Christian lyrics, such as Switchfoot. This is another reason for our caution.
The modern day church likes people to think that any music that can't be labeled "christian" has explicit content. And as I said before art is for all people, if i'm at a stage of life where I don't have anything to say about God then I will say other things that are on my heart.I don't have to write "christian lyrics" and say God and Jesus all the time if i'm a christian.
Most of the christians i've ever come across are into the whole only listen to "christian music" thing because secular music has bad content and is of the world. If christians and conservative parents didn't subscribe to that attitude a lot of the genric mainline christian bands wouldn't even be popular.
And now that Eisley themselves have said their not a christian band on any level, are you still going to listen to them?
Have you even LOOKED at what I've written here? Yes, I'll still listen to Eisley!!!
I feel like I'm running headlong into a brick wall here. I listen to bands that are Christian, non-Christian, or whatever. There is nothing wrong, content-wise, with Eisley, and they make awesome music.
Now, if they started extolling the glories of meth or bragging about sexual conquests, I'd probably stop listening to them.
Sorry you talked about christians limitng themselves to christian music because of issues with content and I thought you did that as well. I just have an issue with artistry being sacraficed for ministry. Most bands care about having a good message but don't pay attention to the quality of music. Why should anyone pay attention to the christian message when the music carrying it is bland, uncreative and trying to copy whats working in the secular market?
I was referring to Christian music. There are a lot of Christian musicians who do not do Christian music, and have a great message anyway.
I think a lot of Christian music is pretty good, but that is in the eye of the beholder.
But yes, Christian music should focus as much on talent as message, and I think some of them do that well. Toby Mac, Demon Hunter, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Jars of Clay, P.O.D. ect.
I apologize for getting so riled up. As you might have noticed, I am argumentative, lol.
It's all good, it's a topic we both have strong opinions on. It's just the the christian market place is crowded with generic sound alike pop rock bands. It's hard to find a good unique band in the "christian scence" but it can be worth it when you do find some of the gems that are there.
well it's hard to find good music or on the radio in general, but most christian bands are just bland. But yeah Jars of Clay is awesome and so are the metal bands like As I lay dying, The showdown and Becoming the archetype. As for demon hunter, the only album I liked by them was the triptych. Storm the gates of hell was good but too nu-metalish sounding for me.
The most creative bands are the ones who don't want to work within the christian industry and don't label themselves christians. These are bands that are out in the world touring with secular bands and showing people that christians aren't judmental people who want to stay inside church buildings and only cater music to christians.
The Christian music industry inhibits creativity, is that what your saying?
If you listened to the lyrics of those bands, you would understand that they are not the judgmental, close-minded, hypocritical idiots that popular culture depicts them to be.
Once again, those Christian bands, who are unashamed to be Christians, reach out to non-Christians every time they go on tour.
Is there something wrong with that? Is a declaration of our faith repugnant?
eisley is amazing along with the band Annasay. I discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite too. Listen to the Annasay song "Winter Air"
Tard, Your comments repeatedly display a self-willed lack of appreciation and ignorance for any music outside your personal tastes. Elvis' being "off key" is style, yet Eisley's unperceptably "off key" singing is just bad? The only similarities between Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Eisley is that they are young, sing and popular. Since you don't like Eisley you must be here only to annoy and provoke us. Can you please go irritate Jonas Brother fans instead.
Das, I figured you would compare out of key Elvis, to out of key Elsley. There is a huge difference. Elvis constructs a melody. There are certain notes in that melody he considers specific targets. Some notes are more prominent and detrimental to the structure of the melody itself, than other notes with in the melody. He dips and dives between these different notes in a specific way. Highly skilled. It is all about the ear. Eisley has no vocal notes at all. Not a single one. No pitch. Tone deaf.
I think you both have a dishonesty to this video, and a hidden truth about it which you won't discuss. But no one gives a fuck about your opinion, they want to watch this and enjoy it for whatever their eyes and ears may perceive it as. Don't ruin it for others with your own viewpoints, as it can obstruct everyone else's. So let's just agree to disagree. Do not make something done so simply so ultimate.
nimax. I have no hidden truth. I do not like this band. They offend me. Now, enter the issue of our current culture of music. I have noticed there is still some musical talent today. It is not on the radio and it is not musical bands such as Eisley, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus whatever crap like. I hear real composed music in movies still today. This does give me some hope for the future. I guess our culture has forced musical talent from the radio, where it should be, to the movie industry.
Colors, flavors, and sounds are all subjective in appeal. It's the "beauty is in the sight of the beholder" principle. Eisley's music is beautiful to many people. It's as simple as this; Eisley's music makes people feel good. That does not devalue your training, tastes or ideals. There is nothing else to do but agree to disagree and move on. By the way, Elvis' Love Me Tender sounds ever so slightly out of key to ME, but that didn't stop it from being a classic that millions upon millions love.
Das. Yes, Eisley does make people "feel good". I find this quite disturbing. Music has been replaced in favor of some sort of weird personal connection the listener has to the artist. As far as Elvis goes, I'm not a big fan, but he was a genius master composer. "Love me tender" is a beautiful "melody". It exactly represents, what I have not heard in years. Music and melody. The guy had a ear for "pitch". Pitch makes melody. The "ever so slightly out of key" you refer to is "style". It is skill.
lol...when has the record industry EVER been anything but corrupt purveyors of "safe product"? Would you argue with someone who tells you they "love the color purple" and "it's a beautiful color that makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside"? No, that would be pointless. So why argue with people who love Eisley's music? Music enjoyment is a uniquely individual experience and there
is no intellectual argument that you can present that will make Eisley's music
Das. I am not trying to make people not like Eisley. I believe they should not, but I understand that they do. I am simply pointing out this is not music. It is not a hard thing to understand. It literally is not music. The record industry used to act as quality control for the general population. They could only sell what sounded good. Today this is not the case. Music is culture. The cultural implications of music quality today goes far beyond this silly band. They are horrific and horrifying.
I have read pretty much all of your arguements. I would just like to say that just becuase I deeply enjoy Eisley does NOT mean I do not appreciate any and all different types of music. I u-tubed some 'o' the songs you recomended(sp?) and I loved them. OneLessBell was immaculate, but just becuase peole use different techniques when singing doesn't mean I am going to denounce anyone who doesn't fit into a certain mold. In my opinion music is not a type of art.
my apologies, music IS a TYPE of art. you can denounce Eisley as a good band, heck you can deny them as a band but you cannot say what they do is not art. I find much joy in listening to Eisley and whether they are "good" to you or not doesn' lessen the feeling of joy and hope i get from listening to thier songs. I have a hunger for all kinds of music and Eisley just so happens to be one of them. Can I not like Chicago AND Eisley and not be an ignorant teenager?
Dakid. Thanks for reading and surmising. That is my very goal for posting here. I feel like I want to shake the kids and tell them, there is a wonderful world of melody, and its so beautiful, words can not describe it. One comment you made telates to this. You ask: "Can I not like Chicago AND Eisley and not be an ignorant teenager"? Yes, you can. However, your statement gets to the crux of my issue. There is no Chicago band anymore. There is no Led Zeppelin, etc. Composed melody has vanished.
I am able to understand your delema (sp?), althoght I can't quite empathize. Thanks for replying despite the fact it is obvious you are tired of repeating yourself. Just one more issue I would like to adress is your comment about idol worship. Of all the bands I have heard Eisley is probably low on my idol worship list. heh. I believe "artists" like Katey Perry and/or Lindsay Lohan would properly fall into this category. Those who play cute this roles in order to trap innocent teens.
Aww. Someone that should have never left the musical spotlight is Karen Carpenter. Now there's a girl who knew what she was doing...even if she wasn't crazy about the spotlight. hah. *sigh*. I'd like to get your musical opinion on Cold Play. What do you think of them?
Dak. Yep. Karen Carpenter was just a gem. Her brother and his musical skill made that band happen. Music is a lost art. It really is. However, I have heard a little bit of music in the last year. I was surprised and delighted. Not great, but it was music. As far as Cold Play goes, they have good texture using the tone of their instruments and good structured vocal phrasing. Rhythm units and structure is lacking big time. Vocal pitch is off too. Which is typical today. Not "real real" bad though.
I know! It was so sad how much heart and effort Richard put into the band and how little recognition he got. Not that Karen didn't deserve it...but it would have been nice if they were regarded more as a team than as Karen and her brother. Okay, I'm sorry theses comments are getting really random. hah. Thanks for the stimulating convo.
oh yes, and it was nice to hear that Coldplay isn't "real, real bad". hah. I am in love with their song "Clocks". I could write books about how much I love it.
Das. I've done some study on the perception of music to small children. If a child hears music that is clear and precise in melody, they easily emulate what they hear. If they hear music that is lacking in melodic precision, they struggle to make sound. They mumble in an arbitrary way. The fascinating thing is, as children, in a natural way, they tend to make melodic corrections to what they hear. However, the more bad music they are exposed to, the less ability they have to make corrections.
haha. I have always really enjoyed that song. It makes me feel like swimming and flying all at the same time...okay now I sound crazy... I never really thought of it as scary but I am sure with the right setting you could make it super creepy. I bet that if the X files theme and the excorsist theme had a child, it would sound kinda like clocks. haha.
Dak. The issue of idol worship is a tough one when it comes to music. I prefer to keep music separate from admiration of a person or a band for instance. However, there is no doubt the two are related. I may like a song without ever knowing who the band is, or I may like it because my friends do. This is a point of a titer totter. Kids like what they see now a days, or desire, not what they hear. Video has killed the radio star. This is sad because music feeds the brain in ways eye site can not.
I know exactly what you mean! Before I was introduced to the wonderful world of the internet I some of my favorite sungs were sung by nameless beings in my head. Now that I can just google the lyrics I heard and find the artist I am actually able to put faces to songs. This does not, however, mean I now have coldplayposters all over my bedroom. The simple fact that I know the man behind the music I can find other songs by the same artist. I lost my train of thought. hah.
SpamTard, the world of music must be a bleak, ugly landscape for a person like you. Music is math with colors and feeling. Yet you can only appreciate the numbers. Let me put it this way, Eisley equals greatness times infinity and your opinion equals ZERO.
Das. To insult me by way of saying I have no musical appreciation, is quite silly of a thing to do. My world of music appreciation is from the wonderful world of Bach to that of Led Zeppelin. My world of music is bleak and ugly at this point. It is because I have run out of music to listen to. There is no new music and hasn't been for about 15 years now, pretty much. Today we have the Disney kids crap. They record industry can be correlated with our our current banking system. Without integrity.

To not seem like so much an ass, although I am an ass, but not at heart, I will post some music for those interested to listen to. The band is Chicago. From what I remember, it was a shade tree guitarist/vocalist who started the band using 5 or 6 college music major students. Skilled musicians. This sort of music was everywhere, every day. Because of this, at age 7, I was spoiled to quality. 7 years old and already I had grasp of the wonder of music
Good God, are we still on this? I came back to watch the video, and see that the Tard is still in full swing. Tell you what, Tard: Since this piece is so "incorrect," you should have no trouble listing six things, with time code references, that need to be fixed. Put up or shut up time.
DEF. I come back to this thread when people call me back. I will start with your quote "time code references". This infers "digital information". Since you have referenced the digital age, I will start there. How does digital information compare to that which is analog? How are sound frequencies manipulated? What bearing does digital verses analog have to what we hear and conceptually perceive? This band has limited knowledge of sound frequency manipulation. This is their foremost lacking.
Num 2). The singer sings out of key. Don't say she doesn't, she does. Its so very far out of key, I do not listen to this song as I do not want to teach my ear a bad sense of pitch. Pitch is critical to music. It is what makes melody. My ear for melody began when my mother sang nursery rhymes to me, in key and on pitch. If pitch is disregarded, then it is not music, it is sound. It is without melody. Sounds can be learned from repetition and become a source of recognition, but it is not music.
You fail to distinguish between pitch and timbre. The pitch is fine. She does have a distinctive timbre, but this is a matter of aesthetic preference, not something that is "incorrect." And please adhere to the challenge by posting time references to the video. By my judgement you have made two postings so far but have failed to demonstrate even one deficiency.
DEF. Timber is a collaboration of sound frequency. "Pitch", in music, is a marked reverence to a specific sound frequency and its related harmonics. This includes timber/tone. The vocal pitch is off by a mile. Usually people that sing the way these girls sing are "tone deaf", and or, they just have not heard enough melody to teach the ear. I have not referenced a particular part of this song as its whole is the disaster, not its pieces and parts so much, relatively speaking.
DEF. I have identified two things wrong already. I will identify a third on that I have learned myself from my study of music using this thread and others that are similar. 3) This music serves the purpose to self promote, (specifically meaning Eisley themselves) without legitimate substance of musical integrity, to that of a musically ignorant audience. Basically, they are selling bad food to retarded children. The retarded kids eat it, because they are naturally hungry to eat. That is num 3)
YouSpamTard...You're annoying the crap out of me-no one cares about wat you say-not in the mean,rude way but you are annoying me and it looks like alot of other ppl too.
green4real. You are narrow minded. For instance, I have had people tell me they don't like a particular song or music I listen to. I ask them why they don't like it. I listen to them speak with consideration. I probably will ask as many questions as they have time to answer. You hate me because I do not like like this band. Do you feel good about yourself? Proud?
i dont know what makes you think that you possess the power to tell everyone else what their opinion is..but pull your head out of you ass..seriously. you can think whatever you want. but dont try shoving down everyones throat. i think you are a self absorbed ass. dont reply to this. i have no desire to talk to you.
appreciate the talents that people bring to the world, whether it suits your personal tastes or not.

the song is soooo good. if you actually listen to the song and not try and sing along when you don't know the words, and cant sing, then you wont get muddled up with the actual singer and yourself, YouSpamTurd. if you think this song is bad, its most probably yourself your criticizing.
Her voice is lovely and so are the harmonies in the song.
Eisley is one of the best around along with the band Annasay. I just discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite
Eisley is incredibly talented. I listen to them everyday and i'm a little obsessed. You should stop using your musical vocabulary because i'm sorry that you can't relax a little and listen to beautiful music. I'm also sorry that you don't have a life and you write negative comments on YouTube. Get some sunshine or read a book or something. Go into your room and hide for all i care. Listen to a 18th century composer.
I like this song. I think everyone in the music industry as one or two things to bring to the table. The melody is nice, the lyrics are nice, and the singing...I've heard better, but it's not killing my ears. I like the drummer too.
"MY OPINION ON MUSIC IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T CAPABLE OF JUDGING MUSIC FOR THEMSELVES. YOU LIKE THIS MUSIC?! YOU'RE WRONG, YOU DON'T LIKE IT! You know why? because I'm more credible, therefore I can tell you what you like and what you don't. I am also the god of music and everything I say is therefore TRUE. I am the ULTIMATE critic of music[which is why I spend hours on youtube]. "
Yeah. Sure. That's all I really see going on. Lmfao.
SpamTard -- If you think Donny Osmond's vocal performance in "Go Away Little Girl (Live)" is a model of musical perfection, then I can see how you would find most of the world off pitch. Your statement "Music is correct or it is not, it is as simple as that" sums up your position. So if you find it "incorrect," move on and find something that suits your rigid notions. Your derision will neither make the music "correct" nor sway those who appreciate it.

99mees. You think you know whats real and whats not. Im sad for you. I can argue with you and try to make you understand, but that will not work in spite of my desire to do so. Wanna here perfect unadulerated melody in its purest form? Kind of like real chocolate instead of fake chemical shit?
Utube: Go Away Little Girl Live
Utube: Ben - Michael Jackson
If that's not enough to teach your ear, then I suggest go find some Jonas Brothers crap at the expense of your second sense, "hearing"
I listen to everything from Bach to current music. Style matters to me. I have a favorite style of music, but style does not concern substance. I really don't care what style or culture music is based on. All I care about is that it has a certain amount of integrity to it musically speaking. Music is correct or it is not, it is as simple as that. The music now a days has about as much integrity as our current banking system. I know this, thus my name, YouSpamTard. The world is spam. Good luck.
i don't know what happened to you in life, but it is not that simple. nothing general or universal can be correct. it is all relative. classical music is great, but you find different meanings than i do. if music was correct, we should find the same meaning. you seem to be simplifying music so "you" can understand it and preach to make yourself look smart. search yourself, you may find a universe of meanings in a single song.
It is a matter of skill. Learned musicians that do what needs to be done. 30 years ago, we had musicians that had heart, technique and robust learned effort to accomplish music that sounds good. Now we got spam. Internet span. World spam. Desire for self represented in terms of musical fraud. Oh, I wanna be a rock star. Look at me! It is a load of crap. There is no skill level here. do you understand? Sheesh. I am about tired of helping you kids to find out what you are being cheated out of.
for the most part i hear you. i don't like alot of music today because of how fake it is, but the practices of today were created 30years ago. pink floyd - darkside of the moon. their manager wanted that "pop" song to sell the album. they went back and created, "money." eisley has more talent, more life, more genuiness than most of today's and some of yesterday's so-called artists.
I like how this battle is still going on. Who REALLY says Music HAS to have PERFECT melody. Frankly, I'm no Music genius and I really don't know if this song is in Melody/Pitch. But it's A SONG THAT I LIKE. It's better then rap, but you don't see me go flaming on rap videos do you? Just because you don't like this music, and you just ignore whatever we say, and go on to something else, doesn't mean you need to stay here. MAKE some music, if your such a Musical genius.

Tyger. I have writren thousands of song with hundreds of people. I teach music. I grew up as an infant in a musical family. Even more than that, I grew up with an AM transistor radio and the wonder sounds of Motown and all that great music that came about once the British got their hands on blues. I know you don't understand all of this, but I am flat out telling you, this song is spam, thus my name, YouSpamTard. You are being cheated from something that is so beautiful you can not even imagine.
motown! hahahahahahah, you obviously don't know how fake motown was. the majority of those artists didn't write their own songs. the jacksons had to lie about their age. boy/girl bands and american idol are today what motown was yesterdayl...commercialism. just like the british bands(save Beatles) who almost ruined the blues. do you your homework sir spam-alot before you insult eisley. HOW IS THIS SONG SPAM?
Lolercoaster. As if youre the only song writer on the planet. Im a composer, as in I went to school for it. And this song is actually composed, not a thrown together cannon in d repeat, its not spam, these kids worked hard and did damn well.
sillyhippies, I want to get in on what you are saying. This song is not composed at all in any way shape form or fashion. It is some silly girls, jamming away to the point something is mentally retained, then they record that. The one most very single thing you can say about this song, or any of their silly shit is that it is NOT COMPOSED.
uqzi, Ok, so I said "pitch is melody", and that in not exactly true. It takes 2 or more combined pitches to make a melody. Sheesh. Musicians govern melody using pitch. Its not melody if pitch is not respected. Its "sound", not music. What I hear has nothing to do with a scale that I am used to hearing or not, it has to do with I do not hear melody. Its so very typical to hear people sing this way that lack experience. Its because it takes skill to sing a melody. More so to write a vocal melody
Your wrong again, two or more combined pitches do not make melody but three make a chord. Melody consists of individual pitches played consecutively.
And your right, we shouldn't waste time dwelling on the bad pats of life. So could you stop calling this song crap, Just say you don't like it. I have nothing against you saying that.
uqzi. You knew damn good and well that when I said two combined pitches make a melody, you knew I meant consecutively. I don't want to be mean here, so I will just shut my mouth. If I say what I want to say, it will scar you and others. Now, go find music dear heart, while you have time and resources. It will be a good thing for you. If you want music, I will send it to you. Heck, I will write it for you if need be. Sheesh

I listened to this song once, all the way through about a month or so ago. I hear the first part when I post on this thread. I hate that. I have listened to little pieces of it very quickly, but then I quickly cut it off. Music, after everything is said and done, is all about the "ear". I will not ruin my ear by listening to this garbage. I have heard to much of it already. Every once in a while, I hear some of this song in my head. I quickly chase it away like a bad dream. Good luck.
Maybe not your type, but it is certainly music. Eisley is a great band who's songs have helped me through some tough times and this song soothes me. To me and probably others music has deep effects and can change your life. At a time in my life when i was doing a 'little soul searching' i found Eisley and other musicians like them. They had profound effects on me and almost completely changed my life. They have probably helped more people than Doctor Phil with their "garbage" They are Music!!
holly, I know what you mean, and you are correct. utube Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love (Video). How does that beautiful song make you feel? I know it is old men singing, but the beautiful sound. Maybe try not looking at the video while you listen? Good luck to you sweetheart. Things will work out. I promise.
Sorry, I posted info for the song that is spam. The fidelity is really really bad iF you search what I sent to search for. This world is spam. I am sorry. Utube: Bee Gees - How Deep RhinoEntertainment. This is Hi-fidelity.
Listen to that song with EYES CLOSED! It will last you a life time. I promise. Good luck.

Holly. Yep. Your sis has an ear. You do to I bet. See? I got an ear automatic when I was a child because good songs were a dime a dozen. There would be at least 1 new great song once a week on the radio. Sometimes 3 or 4 new great songs in a weeks time. They were a dime a dozen.
utube: hogansheroes58 temptations Just my imagination
I grew up with this. My ear is spoiled. Music is correct or it is not. Simple as that. Music has integrity or it is this fake Spam wanna be silly crap.
I do not believe I have head that version before. My mom has a CD of the Temptations so maybe i have. I grew up with a dad who writes songs, a mom who writes, sings, and plays any instrument you hand her and two sisters who equally share those beautiful talents. And then there is me... I play drums and sing in the shower. Do I compare? lol
They have such beautiful harmony. Any more recommendations?

I study European classical, African, Cuban, Irish, English, I even study eastern music like Chinese and Japanese. I like Indian and Arabic music. I like it all. My only criteria is that it is skilled musicians that make the representation, not some wanna be silly crap shit.
i'm sorry, but i don't understand what it is you don't like about eisley. are they the, "wanna be silly crap shit" you speak of. they write their own lyrics, they play instruments. some "artists" on your list don't do that. is their integrity in being a commercial like some of the "artists" you named.

99mees, the irony here, is they are quite talented at heart. Good song writers. That is not enough. Correct the silly shit and then present a completed form. It takes a person that is learned. This if fake shit. I hate it. I hate it. It offends me. I know better. My ear tells me this shit is fake. It is out of key. It is out of pitch. It is really lame musical phrasing, etc etc, I can go on for days what is fake about this shit. It is fraud.
"out of pitch" someone watches too much american idol, hehehhe. seriously though, is pitch really a factor in your "ear." do you listen bob dylan(the greatest) or janis joplin. this song has wonderful meaning, sherri(the small one) wrote it to her mother about losing her husband(i believe). please don't listen to the technical parts of music. listen to the words and emotion of the singer.
Just because they don't sing on pitch because they haven't had lessons doesn't mean that what they create is fake. That's like telling someone who loves writing, but hasn't taken classes in English or anything else that what they create is fake. Stupid! Art is not about how you do it, it's about expressing yourself and in a way taking lessons or 'learning' limits your creative options.

Interesting topic. Eisley has nothing to do with Christian music on any level. sorry.

All they left on our channel were in-studio clips, etc. Working on posting more. Funny - they didn't pull this posting (Memories).

SiliconBong 3 years ago
They wouldn't be making NEARLY as much money as they are now if they had gone the route of the Christian music industry. The name of their faith matters because some Christians out there are ignorant enough to not listen to good music if the band is not Christian. Though I am a Christian, I am not this way. I definitely don't think you have to be a Christian to write amazing music
smccdrummer 3 years ago
Its true you don't have to be a Christian to make awesome music. But those who listen exclusively to Christian artists do so because of content issues in mainstream music (i.e, sex, violence, language, drugs, alcohol, ect). It has nothing to do with how they sound. Christian music focuses on being uplifting and worshipful. However, Eisley probably would have made just as much money had it gone the Christian route. The Christian music industry is pretty big.
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
About the money thing, believe me. My brother was in the Christian music buisness for awhile. It's not as easy as it sounds, though I'm sure neither is the secular music industry. But, in the bigger secular industry there is much more money to be had
smccdrummer 3 years ago
Art is art. If I was a musician i'd want my music to reach as many people, not just people inside the church, that would be plain selfish.
fallingup1986 3 years ago
You make it sound as if they refuse to play for secular people. Its the secular people who don't want to listen to Christian music, or are just uninterested. And besides, 78.4 percent of Americans claim to be Christians. Wouldn't that mean that they are going after seventy percent of America's population?
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
It was the idea of them going the christian market route that disturbed me. I just think that christians are selfish and want to create their own culture without caring about people outside the church. your comment showed that the Christian music industry is not about making good art that glorifies God, it is about making money and creating music that is "safe". The seventy per cent is inaccurate because it doesn't take into account how many are bible believing or practising christians.
fallingup1986 3 years ago
One of the purposes of the music is to appeal to non-believers. Demon Hunter, for instance. Glorifying God is another purpose of Christian music.
As to money, I don't know the artists in question, so I can't speak for them. But I do know from what they (the bands I listen to) have said that they love God, and that He is their inspiration to make music.
Yes, the seventy percent is inaccurate. My point was that Christian music has a large audience, including non-Christians.
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
So by appealing you mean marketing faith through the music?? I actually respect Demon Hunter because their just about making metal music and the metal sub-culture. Lot's of bands are about glorifying God and making art but "christian labels" only exist like any other business to make money, they marker their cd's, the christian bookstores sell them for profit and the parents and youth pastors buy them as alternatives to secular music, It's a culture and some good bands get caught in it.
fallingup1986 3 years ago
It would be very difficult for those musicians to sell CDs to people if they couldn't make any money. Its their job. Even pastors get a salary. And what's wrong with sharing your faith through music? Is it only allowed in a Church? Through their music, they help bring people to Christ. That's what I admire most about them. I think it would be awesome if Christian music were mainstream. It isn't. So we need stores to advertise them. And Christian stores do that. What is your alternative?
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
My problem is how parents and pastor use "Christian music" as alternatives. Because of this it's not seen as something that brings people to christ but something christians can listen to instead of music that isn't "christian".
In other cases bands pick up on what us popular in the mainstream and then imitate it. As a result the christian music industry is nothing but an imitation and no amount of advertising can make people see it any other way.
fallingup1986 3 years ago
Again, Christians like Christian music because of CONTENT. Not because we are an exclusive club, not because we wish to only give our money to Christians, not because we think secular music is not good enough.
This is liberally salted with non-Christian bands. It is music that celebrates promuscuity, drugs, violence, ect, which we generally avoid.
You may notice that those bands that go mainstream water down their Christian lyrics, such as Switchfoot. This is another reason for our caution.
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
The modern day church likes people to think that any music that can't be labeled "christian" has explicit content. And as I said before art is for all people, if i'm at a stage of life where I don't have anything to say about God then I will say other things that are on my heart.I don't have to write "christian lyrics" and say God and Jesus all the time if i'm a christian.
fallingup1986 3 years ago
What church are you referring to?
In my experience, each church has a different position, although within the same denomination (Catholic, Orthodox, ect) they tend to be more uniform.
No two people have exactly the same views in the church, either. Maybe some believe as you say they do. There are others that do not.
Look up Plugged In Online, they have a lot of music reviews from a Christian perspective.
As to the church in general, that is not true. Secular music is not explicit by nature.
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
Most of the christians i've ever come across are into the whole only listen to "christian music" thing because secular music has bad content and is of the world. If christians and conservative parents didn't subscribe to that attitude a lot of the genric mainline christian bands wouldn't even be popular.
And now that Eisley themselves have said their not a christian band on any level, are you still going to listen to them?
fallingup1986 3 years ago
Have you even LOOKED at what I've written here? Yes, I'll still listen to Eisley!!!
I feel like I'm running headlong into a brick wall here. I listen to bands that are Christian, non-Christian, or whatever. There is nothing wrong, content-wise, with Eisley, and they make awesome music.
Now, if they started extolling the glories of meth or bragging about sexual conquests, I'd probably stop listening to them.
You were right about the first part, though.
What's wrong with that?
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
Sorry you talked about christians limitng themselves to christian music because of issues with content and I thought you did that as well. I just have an issue with artistry being sacraficed for ministry. Most bands care about having a good message but don't pay attention to the quality of music. Why should anyone pay attention to the christian message when the music carrying it is bland, uncreative and trying to copy whats working in the secular market?
fallingup1986 3 years ago
I was referring to Christian music. There are a lot of Christian musicians who do not do Christian music, and have a great message anyway.
I think a lot of Christian music is pretty good, but that is in the eye of the beholder.
But yes, Christian music should focus as much on talent as message, and I think some of them do that well. Toby Mac, Demon Hunter, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Jars of Clay, P.O.D. ect.
I apologize for getting so riled up. As you might have noticed, I am argumentative, lol.
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago
It's all good, it's a topic we both have strong opinions on. It's just the the christian market place is crowded with generic sound alike pop rock bands. It's hard to find a good unique band in the "christian scence" but it can be worth it when you do find some of the gems that are there.
fallingup1986 3 years ago 4
Agreed. You have to dig a little (but then, that's true pretty much everywhere, I can't stand most pop bands).
Jars of Clay is my favorite out of the lot, especially in their first album. But the metal bands are the best in general, at least for me.
ttyl
CrownedSerpent 3 years ago 2
well it's hard to find good music or on the radio in general, but most christian bands are just bland. But yeah Jars of Clay is awesome and so are the metal bands like As I lay dying, The showdown and Becoming the archetype. As for demon hunter, the only album I liked by them was the triptych. Storm the gates of hell was good but too nu-metalish sounding for me.
fallingup1986 3 years ago 2
The most creative bands are the ones who don't want to work within the christian industry and don't label themselves christians. These are bands that are out in the world touring with secular bands and showing people that christians aren't judmental people who want to stay inside church buildings and only cater music to christians.
fallingup1986 3 years ago
The Christian music industry inhibits creativity, is that what your saying?
If you listened to the lyrics of those bands, you would understand that they are not the judgmental, close-minded, hypocritical idiots that popular culture depicts them to be.
Once again, those Christian bands, who are unashamed to be Christians, reach out to non-Christians every time they go on tour.
Is there something wrong with that? Is a declaration of our faith repugnant?

Tard, Your comments repeatedly display a self-willed lack of appreciation and ignorance for any music outside your personal tastes. Elvis' being "off key" is style, yet Eisley's unperceptably "off key" singing is just bad? The only similarities between Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Eisley is that they are young, sing and popular. Since you don't like Eisley you must be here only to annoy and provoke us. Can you please go irritate Jonas Brother fans instead.
DasBlood 3 years ago
Das, I figured you would compare out of key Elvis, to out of key Elsley. There is a huge difference. Elvis constructs a melody. There are certain notes in that melody he considers specific targets. Some notes are more prominent and detrimental to the structure of the melody itself, than other notes with in the melody. He dips and dives between these different notes in a specific way. Highly skilled. It is all about the ear. Eisley has no vocal notes at all. Not a single one. No pitch. Tone deaf.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
I think you both have a dishonesty to this video, and a hidden truth about it which you won't discuss. But no one gives a fuck about your opinion, they want to watch this and enjoy it for whatever their eyes and ears may perceive it as. Don't ruin it for others with your own viewpoints, as it can obstruct everyone else's. So let's just agree to disagree. Do not make something done so simply so ultimate.
nimax83 3 years ago
nimax. I have no hidden truth. I do not like this band. They offend me. Now, enter the issue of our current culture of music. I have noticed there is still some musical talent today. It is not on the radio and it is not musical bands such as Eisley, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus whatever crap like. I hear real composed music in movies still today. This does give me some hope for the future. I guess our culture has forced musical talent from the radio, where it should be, to the movie industry.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
Colors, flavors, and sounds are all subjective in appeal. It's the "beauty is in the sight of the beholder" principle. Eisley's music is beautiful to many people. It's as simple as this; Eisley's music makes people feel good. That does not devalue your training, tastes or ideals. There is nothing else to do but agree to disagree and move on. By the way, Elvis' Love Me Tender sounds ever so slightly out of key to ME, but that didn't stop it from being a classic that millions upon millions love.
DasBlood 3 years ago
Das. Yes, Eisley does make people "feel good". I find this quite disturbing. Music has been replaced in favor of some sort of weird personal connection the listener has to the artist. As far as Elvis goes, I'm not a big fan, but he was a genius master composer. "Love me tender" is a beautiful "melody". It exactly represents, what I have not heard in years. Music and melody. The guy had a ear for "pitch". Pitch makes melody. The "ever so slightly out of key" you refer to is "style". It is skill.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
lol...when has the record industry EVER been anything but corrupt purveyors of "safe product"? Would you argue with someone who tells you they "love the color purple" and "it's a beautiful color that makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside"? No, that would be pointless. So why argue with people who love Eisley's music? Music enjoyment is a uniquely individual experience and there
is no intellectual argument that you can present that will make Eisley's music
sound bad to me or other fans.
DasBlood 3 years ago
Das. I am not trying to make people not like Eisley. I believe they should not, but I understand that they do. I am simply pointing out this is not music. It is not a hard thing to understand. It literally is not music. The record industry used to act as quality control for the general population. They could only sell what sounded good. Today this is not the case. Music is culture. The cultural implications of music quality today goes far beyond this silly band. They are horrific and horrifying.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
I have read pretty much all of your arguements. I would just like to say that just becuase I deeply enjoy Eisley does NOT mean I do not appreciate any and all different types of music. I u-tubed some 'o' the songs you recomended(sp?) and I loved them. OneLessBell was immaculate, but just becuase peole use different techniques when singing doesn't mean I am going to denounce anyone who doesn't fit into a certain mold. In my opinion music is not a type of art.

my apologies, music IS a TYPE of art. you can denounce Eisley as a good band, heck you can deny them as a band but you cannot say what they do is not art.

DakidImetnhighschool 3 years ago
Dak. Yep. Karen Carpenter was just a gem. Her brother and his musical skill made that band happen. Music is a lost art. It really is. However, I have heard a little bit of music in the last year. I was surprised and delighted. Not great, but it was music. As far as Cold Play goes, they have good texture using the tone of their instruments and good structured vocal phrasing. Rhythm units and structure is lacking big time. Vocal pitch is off too. Which is typical today. Not "real real" bad though.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
I know! It was so sad how much heart and effort Richard put into the band and how little recognition he got.

DakidImetnhighschool 3 years ago
Das. I've done some study on the perception of music to small children. If a child hears music that is clear and precise in melody, they easily emulate what they hear. If they hear music that is lacking in melodic precision, they struggle to make sound. They mumble in an arbitrary way. The fascinating thing is, as children, in a natural way, they tend to make melodic corrections to what they hear. However, the more bad music they are exposed to, the less ability they have to make corrections.

To not seem like so much an ass, although I am an ass, but not at heart, I will post some music for those interested to listen to. The band is Chicago. From what I remember, it was a shade tree guitarist/vocalist who started the band using 5 or 6 college music major students. Skilled musicians. This sort of music was everywhere, every day. Because of this, at age 7, I was spoiled to quality. 7 years old and already I had grasp of the wonder of music

Good God, are we still on this? I came back to watch the video, and see that the Tard is still in full swing. Tell you what, Tard: Since this piece is so "incorrect," you should have no trouble listing six things, with time code references, that need to be fixed. Put up or shut up time.
DEFishback 3 years ago
DEF. I come back to this thread when people call me back. I will start with your quote "time code references". This infers "digital information". Since you have referenced the digital age, I will start there. How does digital information compare to that which is analog? How are sound frequencies manipulated? What bearing does digital verses analog have to what we hear and conceptually perceive? This band has limited knowledge of sound frequency manipulation. This is their foremost lacking.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
Num 2). The singer sings out of key. Don't say she doesn't, she does. Its so very far out of key, I do not listen to this song as I do not want to teach my ear a bad sense of pitch. Pitch is critical to music. It is what makes melody. My ear for melody began when my mother sang nursery rhymes to me, in key and on pitch. If pitch is disregarded, then it is not music, it is sound. It is without melody. Sounds can be learned from repetition and become a source of recognition, but it is not music.

You fail to distinguish between pitch and timbre. The pitch is fine. She does have a distinctive timbre, but this is a matter of aesthetic preference, not something that is "incorrect." And please adhere to the challenge by posting time references to the video. By my judgement you have made two postings so far but have failed to demonstrate even one deficiency.
DEFishback 3 years ago
DEF. Timber is a collaboration of sound frequency. "Pitch", in music, is a marked reverence to a specific sound frequency and its related harmonics. This includes timber/tone. The vocal pitch is off by a mile. Usually people that sing the way these girls sing are "tone deaf", and or, they just have not heard enough melody to teach the ear. I have not referenced a particular part of this song as its whole is the disaster, not its pieces and parts so much, relatively speaking.

DEF. I have identified two things wrong already. I will identify a third on that I have learned myself from my study of music using this thread and others that are similar. 3) This music serves the purpose to self promote, (specifically meaning Eisley themselves) without legitimate substance of musical integrity, to that of a musically ignorant audience. Basically, they are selling bad food to retarded children. The retarded kids eat it, because they are naturally hungry to eat. That is num 3)

green4real. You are narrow minded. For instance, I have had people tell me they don't like a particular song or music I listen to. I ask them why they don't like it. I listen to them speak with consideration. I probably will ask as many questions as they have time to answer. You hate me because I do not like like this band. Do you feel good about yourself? Proud?

ok. YouSpamTard...
i dont know what makes you think that you possess the power to tell everyone else what their opinion is..but pull your head out of you ass..seriously. you can think whatever you want. but dont try shoving down everyones throat. i think you are a self absorbed ass. dont reply to this. i have no desire to talk to you.
appreciate the talents that people bring to the world, whether it suits your personal tastes or not.

the song is soooo good. if you actually listen to the song and not try and sing along when you don't know the words, and cant sing, then you wont get muddled up with the actual singer and yourself, YouSpamTurd. if you think this song is bad, its most probably yourself your criticizing.
Her voice is lovely and so are the harmonies in the song.

Eisley is incredibly talented. I listen to them everyday and i'm a little obsessed. You should stop using your musical vocabulary because i'm sorry that you can't relax a little and listen to beautiful music. I'm also sorry that you don't have a life and you write negative comments on YouTube. Get some sunshine or read a book or something. Go into your room and hide for all i care. Listen to a 18th century composer.

I like this song. I think everyone in the music industry as one or two things to bring to the table. The melody is nice, the lyrics are nice, and the singing...I've heard better, but it's not killing my ears. I like the drummer too.

SpamTard -- If you think Donny Osmond's vocal performance in "Go Away Little Girl (Live)" is a model of musical perfection, then I can see how you would find most of the world off pitch. Your statement "Music is correct or it is not, it is as simple as that" sums up your position. So if you find it "incorrect," move on and find something that suits your rigid notions. Your derision will neither make the music "correct" nor sway those who appreciate it.

I listen to everything from Bach to current music. Style matters to me. I have a favorite style of music, but style does not concern substance. I really don't care what style or culture music is based on. All I care about is that it has a certain amount of integrity to it musically speaking. Music is correct or it is not, it is as simple as that. The music now a days has about as much integrity as our current banking system. I know this, thus my name, YouSpamTard. The world is spam. Good luck.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
i don't know what happened to you in life, but it is not that simple. nothing general or universal can be correct. it is all relative. classical music is great, but you find different meanings than i do. if music was correct, we should find the same meaning. you seem to be simplifying music so "you" can understand it and preach to make yourself look smart. search yourself, you may find a universe of meanings in a single song.

It is a matter of skill. Learned musicians that do what needs to be done. 30 years ago, we had musicians that had heart, technique and robust learned effort to accomplish music that sounds good. Now we got spam. Internet span. World spam. Desire for self represented in terms of musical fraud. Oh, I wanna be a rock star. Look at me! It is a load of crap. There is no skill level here. do you understand? Sheesh. I am about tired of helping you kids to find out what you are being cheated out of.

for the most part i hear you. i don't like alot of music today because of how fake it is, but the practices of today were created 30years ago. pink floyd - darkside of the moon. their manager wanted that "pop" song to sell the album. they went back and created, "money." eisley has more talent, more life, more genuiness than most of today's and some of yesterday's so-called artists.

But it's A SONG THAT I LIKE. It's better then rap, but you don't see me go flaming on rap videos do you? Just because you don't like this music, and you just ignore whatever we say, and go on to something else, doesn't mean you need to stay here. MAKE some music, if your such a Musical genius.

Tyger. I have writren thousands of song with hundreds of people. I teach music. I grew up as an infant in a musical family. Even more than that, I grew up with an AM transistor radio and the wonder sounds of Motown and all that great music that came about once the British got their hands on blues. I know you don't understand all of this, but I am flat out telling you, this song is spam, thus my name, YouSpamTard. You are being cheated from something that is so beautiful you can not even imagine.

motown! hahahahahahah, you obviously don't know how fake motown was. the majority of those artists didn't write their own songs. the jacksons had to lie about their age. boy/girl bands and american idol are today what motown was yesterdayl...commercialism. just like the british bands(save Beatles) who almost ruined the blues. do you your homework sir spam-alot before you insult eisley. HOW IS THIS SONG SPAM?

sillyhippies, I want to get in on what you are saying. This song is not composed at all in any way shape form or fashion.

uqzi, Ok, so I said "pitch is melody", and that in not exactly true. It takes 2 or more combined pitches to make a melody. Sheesh. Musicians govern melody using pitch. Its not melody if pitch is not respected. Its "sound", not music. What I hear has nothing to do with a scale that I am used to hearing or not, it has to do with I do not hear melody. Its so very typical to hear people sing this way that lack experience. Its because it takes skill to sing a melody. More so to write a vocal melody
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
Your wrong again, two or more combined pitches do not make melody but three make a chord. Melody consists of individual pitches played consecutively.
And your right, we shouldn't waste time dwelling on the bad pats of life. So could you stop calling this song crap, Just say you don't like it. I have nothing against you saying that.
uqzi 3 years ago
uqzi. You knew damn good and well that when I said two combined pitches make a melody, you knew I meant consecutively. I don't want to be mean here, so I will just shut my mouth. If I say what I want to say, it will scar you and others. Now, go find music dear heart, while you have time and resources. It will be a good thing for you. If you want music, I will send it to you. Heck, I will write it for you if need be. Sheesh

I listened to this song once, all the way through about a month or so ago. I hear the first part when I post on this thread. I hate that. I have listened to little pieces of it very quickly, but then I quickly cut it off. Music, after everything is said and done, is all about the "ear". I will not ruin my ear by listening to this garbage. I have heard to much of it already. Every once in a while, I hear some of this song in my head. I quickly chase it away like a bad dream. Good luck.

Maybe not your type, but it is certainly music. Eisley is a great band who's songs have helped me through some tough times and this song soothes me. To me and probably others music has deep effects and can change your life. At a time in my life when i was doing a 'little soul searching' i found Eisley and other musicians like them. They had profound effects on me and almost completely changed my life. They have probably helped more people than Doctor Phil with their "garbage" They are Music!!

Holly. Yep. Your sis has an ear. You do to I bet. See? I got an ear automatic when I was a child because good songs were a dime a dozen. There would be at least 1 new great song once a week on the radio. Sometimes 3 or 4 new great songs in a weeks time. They were a dime a dozen.

I play drums and sing in the shower. Do I compare? lol

99mees, the irony here, is they are quite talented at heart. Good song writers. That is not enough. Correct the silly shit and then present a completed form. It takes a person that is learned. This if fake shit. I hate it. I hate it. It offends me. I know better. My ear tells me this shit is fake. It is out of key. It is out of pitch. It is really lame musical phrasing, etc etc, I can go on for days what is fake about this shit. It is fraud.
YouSpamTard 3 years ago
"out of pitch" someone watches too much american idol, hehehhe. seriously though, is pitch really a factor in your "ear." do you listen bob dylan(the greatest) or janis joplin. this song has wonderful meaning, sherri(the small one) wrote it to her mother about losing her husband(i believe). please don't listen to the technical parts of music. listen to the words and emotion of the singer.
99mees 3 years ago 4
Just because they don't sing on pitch because they haven't had lessons doesn't mean that what they create is fake. That's like telling someone who loves writing, but hasn't taken classes in English or anything else that what they create is fake. Stupid! Art is not about how you do it, it's about expressing yourself and in a way taking lessons or 'learning' limits your creative options.
