JC

tasteinmen · 04.13.2008, 01:11 AM

Anybody else think this song is amazing? It's got the highest amount of plays according to my itunes playcount. I just think it's beautiful. It sounds alot different to the rest of the songs that are on dirty in terms of style. One of Kims finest moments, a few levels below shadow of a doubt but that's just my opinion. what u think?

Great song. It's got that haunting quality to it that most post DDN songs don't have.

greenlight · 04.13.2008, 02:51 AM

great track. love it.

by the way, even though Kim vocaly did a great job on it, brought the right emotion to it, I like instrumental version from rehearsal recording more. JC is great, Moonface is excelent. I'm going listen to it now.

Yes one of kim's greatest song. However, for me it has to be Bull in the Heather.

tasteinmen · 04.13.2008, 07:27 AM

I'll have to give moonface a proper listen. and I agree about the haunting feeling, the intro reminds me of shaking hell because of the shrumming that sounds like chiming.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.13.2008, 07:30 AM

Yeah I really like this song, it's very underrated. Second best song on Dirty maybe.

Death & the Maiden · 04.13.2008, 07:59 AM

This is one of the only songs from Dirty that I can't recall from memory, I always get it confused with Chapel Hill. I think I thought it was a good song the last time I listened to Dirty.

04.13.2008, 08:06 AM

It's one of my favourite on this album too.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.13.2008, 08:06 AM

Chapel Hill is good too, but they are totally different songs man.

Death & the Maiden · 04.13.2008, 08:10 AM

I know they're different songs, I just can't help mixing them up because JC doesn't stay in my memory.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.13.2008, 08:23 AM

Ironically, It is a song IN memory of a roadie who was murdered.

What about Jimmy Chamberlin? Jesus Christ?

I first heard 'JC' via the Alternative NRG compliation which now usually sells fro a .01.

seek it out..

Also has a great live version of REM's 'Drive'.

Pax Americana · 04.13.2008, 11:58 AM

Great song. Maybe my favorite on Dirty, actually. Yeah it's about Joe Cole. I believe that 100% is also about him, or at least part of it is. The part about being shot in the head... Cool live video, by the way. I wish they still played this live.

max · 04.13.2008, 12:33 PM

yes, 100% is about Joe Cole.

I remember listening to JC one evening coming out of a shower in the midst of a sunset (my home has a lot of windows and it was a wonderful sight), with the music tuning into something really intense and in that very moment something clicked inside of me: I cried a bit and all of a sudden I was one with the sounds out of the stereo.

A very precious memory for me.

RanaldoNecro · 04.13.2008, 11:28 PM

Its probably one of the most intense songs I've ever heard

Rob Instigator · 04.14.2008, 09:09 AM

JC is one of the best songs on Dirty. It fucking blows me away. i always forget about it but then it comes on and I fucking love it.

barnaclelapse · 04.14.2008, 10:49 AM

Love that song.

Good call.

el duderino · 04.16.2008, 06:48 PM

its definitely one of the most emotional songs they've done. I always admire how they get the guitars to sound so chaotic, yet structured in this track - teetering on thr edge!

Top 5 for me

Chris Lawrence · 04.17.2008, 12:46 AM

it's nice to see so much appreciation for this song! it's the type of song only they could write, the way those guitars, just.. sound, almost random but somehow combined create a really unique song. beautiful.
