I'm hearing so many good things about this so I'm gonna give it a try
Even though I think their last album totally sucked balls.

[HIM]

I'm gonna be good and wait till next month to listen to the album and not the leak. I've been waiting since 2006 so it's no major deal

According to Amy, the second single will be My Heart Is Broken or The Change. Lost In Paradise will be the next !

When did she say that? I know she said in an interview they want "My Heart Is Broken" but nothing was confirmed.

She said this to a fan in Paris during the pre listen of the album !

Who knows, WYW is nowhere near the hit that was CMWYS or BMTL. Supposed, Martina McBridge, Dierks Bentley, that jonas brother guy, Bjork, Lauren something, are all releasing new material that same week. so who knows.

My favorite song is definitely Lost in Paradise

Made of Stone, Erase This are amazing as well.

It may become a hit!!! Please request WYW here! It has a great increse today and increases every day!

Just heard the album and it's really heavy. Not my type of music but I can say that "heavy" lovers will love this song. WYW is the most radio friendly song. So I don't think they will be releasing anything to pop this era.

[sk8erfan]

The only song I listened to was The Other Side becuase the live version really got me. Well the song got me too, no matter that I was a bit disappointed with some of the voice being so much edited but it's still a really hot track. Not going to listen to the album until the release (hope I can resist it )

"My Heart Is Broken" and "Lost In Paradise" have a good shot at being sent out to Pop and doing OK.

Some of the lyrics, thanks to Evthreads members for deciphering them. I'll put them in a spoiler since some members may not want to see them until the album comes.

Sick

Embrace the silence
Cause there's nothing that can change the way I feel
Taken all that you wanted
Now there's nothing that can change the way I feel

Hold on, little girl
‘cause the end is soon to come

Sick of it all, Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
They don’t understand how
Sick we are, Sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Oceans between us
And there's nothing that can change the way I feel
I can still taste the poison
Every fall, every breath are ways to heal

Hold on, little girl
The end is soon to come

Sick of it all, Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
They don’t understand how
Sick we are, Sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Someday you’ll know the feeling
Someday i will break through
And nothing you tell yourself
Will save us from the truth
Screaming out

Sick of it all, Sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, Sick of it all
They don’t understand how
Sick we are, Sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Oceans


Don’t wanna be the one to walk away
But I can’t bear the thought of one more day
I think I finally understand what it means to be lost

Can’t find the road to lead us out of this
A million miles from where we burned the bridge
Can’t keep pretending everything’s gonna be alright
With the whole world falling down on me

Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
In the end, you never can wash the blood from your hands

Fallen so far from where we were before
You’ll never find what you’ve been searching for
Some pick to fill the void and make up for all of those missing pieces of you
Like I could only dream to

Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie

Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line
In the end, you never can wash the blood from your hands

And we never learned, so we fall down again
Heaven help me find a way to dream within this nightmare

Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie

Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line
In the end, you never can wash the blood from your hands

End of the Dream

I found a grave
Brushed off the face
Felt your light
and I remember why I know this place

I found a bird
Closing her eyes
One last time
And I wonder if she dreamed like me

Well, as much as it hurts,
Ain’t it wonderful to feel?

So go on and bring your wings
Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

I’m not afraid
I push through the pain
And I’m on fire
I remember how to breathe again

As much as it hurts,
Ain’t it wonderful to feel?

So go on and bring your wings
Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

Why must we fall apart to understand how to fly?
I will find a way
Even without wings

Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

Follow your heart
Till it bleeds
And we’ve gone to the end of the dream

Never Go Back: a song that was inspired by the Japanese tsunami

Everything is so dark
And I know there’s something wrong,
but I can’t turn the light on

In that split second change
When you knew we couldn’t hold on,
I realized I lived to love you

Save yourself
Don’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone
The only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves
But I remember

I won’t give up on you
I can feel you in my heart, just show me the way
I don’t belong here..
Alone

I can still see your face
Where it’s burned into my mind
I die every time
I close my eyes, you’re always there

Save yourself
Don’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone
The only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves

But I’m the one who’s drowning
Without your love
I am lost and I can never go back home

All across the ocean
We are calling..calling..
Ahhh Ahhh
Are you there?
Nothing left for me till I find you because it’s

All gone
The only world I’ve ever known sleeps beneath the waves
But I’m the one who’s drowning
Without your love
I am lost and I can never go back
I can never go back home

Swimming Home


Way down
I’ve been way down
Underneath this skin
Waiting to hear my name again

I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
And nothing can hold me

Way down
All the way down
I will hear your voice
But I’ll no longer understand

I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling

I was looking to the sky
When I knew I’d be swimming home
I cannot betray my kind
They are here
It’s my time

I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
And nothing can hold me

Made of Stone >>>>>>>>>

[CoS]

You can now pre-order both the deluxe and standard edition of the album on iTunes. I don't think the deluxe digital format will include the DVD contents so...

[sumthintoxic82]

so i FINALLY listen to the album...im a bit underwhelmed...its a good album, but Fallen is still the best for me...

i LOVE My Heart Is Broken, Lost In Paradise, Sick, Oceans & Swimming Home...

Made Of Stone, Erase This & Never Go Back Are also good

didnt really care for The Change orThe Other Side

[Michael]

The temptation to listen to this leak is almost unbearable

It's #56 now. I'm guessing that most fans would rather get the physical deluxe version than the digital version since the physical contains a DVD.
