Relapse Opener

Postby KickflipCaleb » Apr 4th, '12, 07:48

I know I've seem this somewhere else on here and its driving me crazy! I'm talking about going from the Dr. West skit to My Darling. It feels like Em originally planned to put My Darling right after but for some reason threw it on Refill?
For example, at the beginning of My Darling Em is yawning, like he just woke up while the skit ends with him waking up to the alarm clock. I guess I sort of see why 3 AM was put there, like his alarm woke him up tat 3? But overall it seems like a random opener. My Darling just fits the tone much better I think. The doctor even calls him "darling" in the skit. :facepalm
I'm really curious as to whether or not Marshall had thought of this? If so, why was MD not on the original Relapse?
It tells a great story, has an extremely catchy hook, and has such a cool eerie feel, like the deep Slim Shady/demonic deep voice. Not to mention the chainsaw motor as a part of the beat? :worship:
Discuss? :coffee:

Yeah I thought about it too, I think he probably realized the first verse was very random on this song and didn't fit in with the rest of the song (at least the first half of the verse) and maybe just didn't wanna change it?

I think had the first verse been changed, it would have been a great open, very VERY attention grabbing one too.

oh btw it was a Relapse bonus song, not one of the Refill tracks (just wanted to point that out)

Yeah I think it's obvious that "My Darling" was intended to be the opening track...

I think it should have been too, and then into "3am", would have improved it.

This is how I have my Relapse playlist set up.
1. Dr. West skit
2. My Darling
3. 3 AM
etc
etc

Makes the whole album better imo :b:

My Darling was probably left off because that first verse doesn't make much sense in the context of the song, and really the album as a whole.

They definitely should have changed or taken off the first verse and had My Darling on the album.

My Darling would have been the perfect intro for Relapse...why this didn't happen shocks me.

It's probably my favorite song from Relapse. I just love the eerie feel.
