You can check out the liner notes to Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone over at All Eyes Media (Lu’s PR firm):
http://alleyesmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Lucinda-W-DWTSMTB-Credits-Lyrics.Site_.pdfThis must have been a first. i.e. to get to see the complete liner notes with lyrics almost a month before the record drops.
lwjNote the spelling error of Doug’s last name on PDF page 4, Background Vocal for “Walk On”. Hopefully, the error occurs only for this PDF, and not on the actual album notes.
@ punchdrunklove: No, no spoiler, it’s pure poetry, read it and look forward to the music!

Hey Paul I’m the English teacher/proofreader, you the engineer! But good catch. . .

would it be a spoiler to read the lyrics before listening to the music?
honest question! 🙂
For me… yes.
Plenty of time to read lyrics after listening, and something to look forward to.First introduction to them should be the way they were intended… IMHO. 😀
To be honest: I don’t understand the “spoiler-problem” at all. While watching the last Episode of “The Sopranos” I already knew what would happen (or not happen). I had read a lot of complaints about “oh, no spoiler-warning in the article, that’s so mean” etcetera, but isn’t the key point simply “HOW did they do it, HOW did they made it flesh”? It’s not only “what story is told?”, it’s the HOW, the details, the nuances.
Funny: Complaints about Tarantino-Fans come to my mind, like “these nerds would admire him for filming drying colour on a wall”. Yes: I am very curious HOW he would be filming it 🙂
Peace, looking forward, release in Germany 9/26!not exactly a problem (spoiling being a very strong word), but i’m so used to read the lyrics afterwards that the idea of getting a taste of every song beforehand seemed almost wrong.
i’ve read the lyrics from the 3 songs already “released”. there’s a WONT (instead of WON’T) on STOWAWAY that almost made me wanna die. i hope there’s time to fix it.
Hopefully and for sure there is. Where did you read/listen to a “won’t” or “wont”? I didn’t find. Is is because these artists from the American South – I’ve never been there – tend to sound like chewing big gum? Anyway, Hank and Becky on Doug’s “West Gate” are a perfect bridging to the release!
Apparently its become a Grammar Police State. I can assure you that we went over the lyrics and credits with a fine tooth comb and I am confident that we caught the errors that have been mentioned above.
Hopefully we can all breathe a little easier.@TomOverby wrote:

Hopefully we can all breathe a little easier.Signed, KGB/Stasi Czar of the GPS, Big Brother “stoger”
I feel uncomfortable: Big Brother is watching me. At least I know his weird name now: “Stoger” – must have something to do with cigars. Old-fashioned therefore. KGB is history, FSB is the newest latest bullsh… 8)
i heard grammar police state is lovely this time of the year.
BTW, what an unwelcoming statement. im a proofreader, i earn money that way, and i just noted a very silly apostrophe missing. no big deal. maybe i shouldnt have said anything because the liner notes are OBVIOUSLY printed and ready to go (and maybe theyre perfect, after all), but those things should be noted so they can be corrected later on. reprints, reissues, resomething. its minimal but its there. publishing houses work that way, and theyre doing fine.

Nice illustration of what you mean by your own omission of five apostrophes in your latest, punchdrunk!
