"The Symphony of Blase," Anberlin

[JCMF3]

This past week at the radio station I received the 2005 Tooth & Nail Summer Singles CD. On it, this song from Anberlin's latest album is included. I assume this will be the next single.

I like this one.

It's okay, but one of my least favorites on the album.

I wonder what they're going to do with the "A Day Late" video now. Perhaps they'll wait a couple months and then service it only to mainstream? The lyrics aren't explicitly Christian or anything. "Now we both have separate lives and lovers..." could be construed as inappropriate for Christian radio in one sense.

Love this song. Hope it does well for them.

All Access now lists this as going for adds on July 22. They also say this is going for Christian RHY adds???

I didn't know Christian RHY Radio existed.

Yes it does but mainly through specialty shows on existing Christian CHR and Rock stations. The panel is very small and the spin totals for songs are also tiny.

They've finally released the "A Day Late" video. www.rollingstone.com/artist/_/id/65584?pageid=rs.ArtistSearch&pageregion=mainRegion

Better than "Readyfuels", but nothing too spectacular, and will be lucky to get Fuse play at best. Plenty of people on their message board say they want "Paperthin Hymn" to be the next single after "ADL".

Thank you! Yeah, it's okay. A bit awkward, but it improves as it goes along.

I know I shouldn't keep talking about "A Day Late" in the "TSOB" topic, but you can now vote for the video on Fuse's "Ovenfresh". I didn't even think it'd go this far myself, so I'm pleased. :) An official promotion of the video also means I can debut it on my personal chart, a la The Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)". ;)
