I think she asked what song(s) he wished he had written. Also, she mentioned Kris ruling with an iron fist, which I think Cale referred to with the DC tweet.
I know, I so thrilled for the new music! How long will it be until we’ll hear it…:( However, I’m thrilled with what we’re hearing right now.
I love Lennon’s In My Life! I wonder when we will ever get to hear these new tunes seeing as we haven’t even heard all the “old” tunes from the album?!
It would be great to hear something else on Letterman, but I doubt that will happen. I really hope The Truth will NOT be the second single. I want a co-write for him and I also don’t think he sings that one as well. I really like his voice on BWCU. A lot of it is in his lower register and he’s very front and center–no fighting with any production stuff. But I do agree with others that it isn’t as much fun to perform/watch. So, looking ahead to the Idol appearances, I’d vote for AWM or CSA since they are crowd pleasers.
@SarahP Oh I totally agree that Kris injects a lot of emotion into “Let It Rain”, and yes, the reason it’s such a great song is that we know what it means and that he’s talking about the struggles he went through to get this album out.
As for the bonus tracks, I LOVE “From the Ashes”. It’s an awesome, awesome song. Like, I can’t even get over how much I love this song. I like it more than “Send Me All Your Angels”, but only because I think “Send Me All Your Angels” sounds like a Chris Daughtry song, and I think it was a good call on Kris’s part to leave it off the album, otherwise he’d be accused of trying to be Chris Daughtry, even though I think Kris sings this song well and I love the song.
I think “From the Ashes” is definitely edgy and intense and I think it would go perfectly in a soundtrack for a superhero movie. I think ultimately it was probably better to leave it as a bonus track because it doesn’t really go with the rest of the album. I wish Kris had reserved it for a second album, so more people can hear the song, but it’s all good anyways.
@Diane I love that hitch in Kris’s voice! It’s what makes his voice so quirky and endearing, IMO.

Are you going to start a new thread and post the video from tonight? I haven’t seen any more video pop up on youtube yet
THIS^ I’ve been trying to explain this to my friends who’ve been teasing me. I don’t think they believe me. But on Friday night when I saw him walking outside with the band, my first thought was “Hey it’s Kris!” My second thought, “Where the heck is his winter coat?!”
THIS^
And I was hoping to wake up this morning to see Kris headlining this blog. Sadz.
ex-lurker, yeah know what you mean. When i saw him in the picture taken in that back alley, my first tought was “where is his scarf?” !
Hahaha Thanks for the laugh!
Glad to know I’m not alone.

I was there on Friday and was hoping to see Kris and the band. Did he come out the front (on Congress)? Also, did you see him in the audience watching the Fray? I was just wondering where he was.
I am a 40 year old mother of 4 and I love all the “maternal” comments. For the longest time I was trying to figure out my obsession with Kris. I think you guys explained it perfectly. But sometimes when a new picture or something comes out. I’m like “OK he’s hot”. Maybe it’s more than the “maternal” thing. – maybe my brain thinks I’m still 25. HA!! Is it wrong??
I’m 44 with no kids and I definitely do not feel maternal about Kris. It’s not even his hotness that does much for me. In fact, he’s a little young for my tastes. I just really, really dig the music. That’s all. Just keep it comin’.
I’m 22 but I understand the maternal concern for Kris. He’s just such a nice, classy person who deserves all the best and it’s not surprising that a lot of people feel affectionately for him and feel protective of him on top of enjoying his music.
