Coizu Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 rollingstone.com just released an article about living things: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lin...-album-20120620 Living Things, which was co-produced by Rick Rubin and Shinoda and is due out on June 26th, couples its introspection with broader interests; the band made a video art installation for the LP's first single, "I'll Be Gone," that dabbles in astronomy. "The visuals for 'I'll Be Gone' stuck out to me because that song is a relationship-based song, but it's also got a second read of a space theme," Shinoda says. "A lot of the songs have metaphors, and one of the metaphors in that song is space. [The visual artists] picked up on that language and turned it into this weird, intergalactic space travel thing."

BeardyWilderness Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Personally this song is my least favourite on LT - that doesn't mean I dislike it, but I feel there are better choices.

HybridThe0ry97 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I feel like I'll Be Gone is single material, but to me it sounds more like a DBS song than a LP song.

Geki Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think I'LL BE GONE is definitely a good choice for the next single. It has simple, catchy lyrics and a radio structure that's sure to work. Not my favorite song on the album by any means, but I think it would be popular as a single. I didn't think the song was really about a relationship though, I viewed it as more like someone being away from their family for periods of time.

SHOCKWAVE6464 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It reminds me too much of Dead by Sunrise. I wanted Lost in the Echo or Castle of Glass to be the single.

hahninator Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The sticker on LT that says "features BURN IT DOWN, LOST IN THE ECHO AND CASTLE OF GLASS" make it sound like those will be the 3 big singles from this CD, with probably 1-2 others released in Europe/worldwide like POWERLESS or something. So this is interesting.... Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/8715-ill-be-gone-the-next-single/#findComment-166984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It doesn't surprise me thats this was going to be a single. It's very radio friendly, catchy and will hopefully chart well. I'm also stoked that COG and LITE were featured on the sticker for the album cover. It almost assures that those two are going to be singles, which I am very excited for.

LPUemo360 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Like i said: BID/POWERLESS/LITE/IBG/COG BID: we already know lol Powerless: Only because the Abe Hunter Vampire thingy movie came out & they have a live shot video with scenes from the movie that have been around the .net for almost a month now. Lost In The Echo: Its been getting air play on the radio & on ESPN alot, plus it seems perfect for the summer. I'll Be Gone aka What Ive Done Pt.3 (since Burning In The Skies is Pt.2): Seems perfect towards the end of the year & i think it was the same single number as WID, Correct me if im wrong. Castle Of Glass: Just a beautifull end to the Touring Cycle & Album Hype etc etc. Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/8715-ill-be-gone-the-next-single/#findComment-167010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran07Chile Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 "LP's first single, "I'll Be Gone," that dabbles in astronomy" To me that says that they were talking of burn it down... ...any ways, eh I guess it can be a good single, nothing really that stands out for the song. I personally think that In My Remains would of been a better choice rather than this one.

mikeatron85 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I thought that entire article was worded rather awkwardly, which leads me to think it could just be a miscommunication. I really hope the following become singles: POWERLESS LOST IN THE ECHO CASTLE OF GLASS IN MY REMAINS Happy to sub IN MY REMAINS for I'LL BE GONE in my list of preferences mind you. Those first three HAVE to be singles though!

Fran07Chile Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 POWERLESS LOST IN THE ECHO CASTLE OF GLASS IN MY REMAINS I agree, maybe no in that order but let's be honest.Those are the most likely to become singles, i would include LIES GREED MISERY in there maybe.

HybridThe0ry97 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I don't know if they'll make Powerless an official single since it is already getting promotion through AL:VH. But I definitely think CoG deserves single treatment.

But I definitely think CoG deserves single treatment. I think I'd be okay with that if the video was more of an actual music video rather than the music trailer that it is. Plus, it came out of nowhere, with less than a week until the movie opened theatrically, so I feel like the opportunity for it to do any good/get any attention has already gone Would be a shame if that's the only exposure this song gets to the masses, as I know it would be tremendously popular. Out of my circle of friends who like LP, POWERLESS is the favourite song from the album for most of them.

Dave-Stone55 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) I certainly hope so I love that one!! I always get a big Julien-K vibe when I hear this, it sounds very We're Here With You era Julien-K. Certainly won't complain if this is a single, even if it's one of the more pop rock songs on the record! It feels like it's gonna be difficult to pick singles for this record, cause almost of all of them are radio friendly songs. Choosing I'll Be Gone would probably be a What I've Done route which they've done like 4 times already. Lost In The Echo represents the older Linkin Park, and while the record does have elements of Hybrid Theory, I find it difficult to believe that it can be a major single. Castle of Glass is the Breaking The Habit of Living Things, one of my favorites on the record, and absolutely single potential. It'll be a risk, but it'll either be a major success or a flop. Powerless is already sort of a promo single for Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter, but if they need another Iridescent for their live shows, then Powerless is the way to go for a single. Just my 2 cents Oh and one more thing, I totally think they should have released Lies Greed Misery as a single, it's fun, catchy, killer rap section, and an overall party song!

morfeo Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I would preffer Lost In The Echo and Powerless for next singles. And I still don't know why the worst song on LT is the main single... ;p Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/8715-ill-be-gone-the-next-single/#findComment-167458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they say first single? it sounds likes their talking about BID but wrote wrong song title. the sticker on ATS had the right singles on it so I assume LITE and CoG will be next singles Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/8715-ill-be-gone-the-next-single/#findComment-167529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
