Sara is cute!

[Bart Simpson]

Sara is cute!

Has anyone been to NC's website lately? On their homepage picture, Sara is kinda HOT!!!!!!!!!GO SEE!
[nod] :D

[Bart Simpson]

Sean is Cute and short and did you know he has multi colored eyes. I know I know I know I know I know already!!!!!!(except for the sean being cute part)
Ornot, Goose and NCFreak this forum is for you. Sara is hot!

[ncfan]

You're hilarious Bart. When I saw this I couldn't stop laughing. Oh by the way....Sean is HOT!!!!!!:D

[NCFreak]

HEY!! Dang you, ncfan!! That name isn't allowed in hear. [lolol] ;)

Sara has many different looks (cute, adorable, hot, pretty, beautiful, gorgeous...). The list goes on and on. I think y'all know what I'm talkin' about. Back me up, fellas...

[kokomo88]

SEAN SEAN HE'S OUR MAN IF HE CAN'T DO IT...um...I dunno who can....he's the greatest...so I think that would be the end of the world.....

[Erika]

HMMMM... Where have I read your topic sentence before BART?
Maybe from MY tread!!!! Is this supposed to be a mockery for us girls going on and on (and on and on and on and) about how outragously gorgeous Sean is? Sorry but I think this thread is drop-dead hilarious!

[OrnotMajestic]

*Bows deeply to Bart* Thank you for building us Sara worshippers a temple in which to pay homage. That, and this thread is damn hilarious.

And Bryan, I'm backin you up, dawg. :D She can be cute, like when she smiles and tilts her head. She can be adorable, like when she does the Sara Shuffle on stage....she can be hot when she looks at me while she plays..... she can be pretty when that long hair flows over her shoulders....... she can be beautiful when the stage lights glow slightly orange around her like a halo as she shuts her eyes while she sings.......and she would be absolutely gorgeous if she was sitting on my lap right now.

Anyone else have any comments on our goddess??

[Chip]

Guys,

Once again:

MEANINGFUL posts, please. This site is for thoughtful discussion about the band and it's music, not for random chatter.


If you want to post pointless noise that's been stated at least 3,000,000 times, please go do so on the other board, not here.

Thanks much.

[OrnotMajestic]

Chip,
This thread is 99.99% a joke. It is in response to the Sean is HOT thread in the Sean chat. It is all in good fun, everyone is getting a good laugh, and it probably won't get that many responses. Just go check out the Sean Watkins chat to see what i mean..... ;) :D
SEAN IS HOT THREAD (http://www.nickelcreek.info/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=722)

[Erika]

Yeah Chip, That thread (Sean is HOT) was mine,and while it could have made me mad, I think this is histarical!
And what does that supposed to mean, MEANIFUL? Most of our beloved Nickel Creeks (and extremly hot Sean's) songs make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!!! (yet I love them anyways) After all, we ARE discussing Nickel Creek!:-))

[Erika]

Oh and Chip, Your're birthday is the same day as Aaron Carters!

And Chip, I understand and agree that a post like this is not appropriate and does not follow the guidelines set forth by you and Matt. If only the girls knew that. I'm surprised nothing was said in that other thread days ago. Oh, well...no worries. Yer just doin' yer job, homey.

You'll see that I yelled at the girls in the other thread, but that was because they always yell at us for doing the same thing. A classic double standard on their part. [nono]

[Bart Simpson]

Wow this thread got alot of traffic. Lol! Erika thanks for not getting mad its all in fun. Dang Ornot you really got a thing for Sara. Yikes!:p

[NCFreak]

I think Goose, Ornot and I all are about even when it comes to Sara worship (where IS Goose, anyway?). I've just never had the guts to say what Ornot just did.

[kokomo88]

if chip says anything more about your lovely thread, ya'll are welcome to come to mine and say anything you like about sara, she is quite pretty..but ah,...you know the deal, and I ain't a lesbian, so yeah..sean...anyway...you can blabber endlessly about miss sara if ya like!

Um, if you really believe that, you haven't done your homework :)

There are lots of threads here in the message board archive that talk about the meaning of the songs, and Sean and Chris have also spoken about the meaning behind their songs at various places and times.

I can't think of any lyric that Chris or Sean (or David Puckett, Sean's collaborator) have written that doesn't have a very deep, powerful meaning. Many times the meaning is somewhat obscured in (probably intentionally) rich, metaphoric references... but there is always (so far, at least) a pretty powerful message there.

[kokomo88]

the fox went out on a chilly nite, he prayed for the moon to give him light......lol, that was a goofy song, but I think what Erika meant was that they are so funny and dedicated that it just seems totally goofy....I could be wrong there, but that's what I think she meant

No my friend, GUTS would be saying sara is cute when... within earshot of her!! :D Or would that just be stupidity? ;)

Goose, Ornot, Bryan = perfect trio to serenade Sara at a concert! Wasn't that your original idea, Bryan? :p

[nkl_crk_freek]

Wow, this is one funny threat. But now, although we love Sean, and talk about him always(!!), now we are talking about starting a hobbit club, but without the hairy feet. (gross, gross, gross!!!) Maybe you guys could start an elf club, and get little pointy ears?

:D [noise]

If I remember correctly the Fox is a traditional song and not writen by any of the NC members but an arrangement.

Also, I would like to add my 2 cents here that Sara is HOT!!!! I don't think I have ever posted that here or anywhere so I think it is only fair I can say that now.

As for a meaningful post, has anyone noticed that on the This Side album Sara doesn't have very many or as many violin parts as on the Nickel Creek CD? I noticed that just the other day...

[Erika]

Yeah, some of their somes have deep messages-but you got to did deep to figure it out! I mean, come on Chip SPIT ON A STRANGER? What on Earth is that supposed to mean? Brand New Sidewalk and Young are o.k. but I personally think they could have done better, and I was hopeing there would be more instumentals. They play so good, but you can't really tell while trying to tell what they are singing about! Got what I'm saying?

Elf club?!? What the heck is the matter with you??? If anything, it would be the Fuzzy Bunny Suit Club.

[kokomo88]

no. hobbit club only and Elijah wood can come....lol not that he would or anything but it's worth a shot...lol
I like orlando bloom too..so yea, elf club is fine with me, he can come...woohoo! lol
yeah, I know, I'm dreamin

[OrnotMajestic]

Bryan, I was thinking Surfer Girl also, actually!! Seriously!! :cool: I mean, she body boards so i figure that it's close enough!!
And I'll second the motion to start a Fuzzy Bunny Suit Club! :D
[evil eye]

As for NC songs.....
-Spit on a Stranger was not written by them. It was by Pavement. Pavement is an obscure indie-rock band that I discovered about 1995 (a friend got me into them). Their lyrics are insane and usually make NO sense. Spit on a Stranger actually one of their songs that actually kinda sorta makes sense, in that funky obscure Pavement sort of way. You'd have to listen to their stuff to understand what I mean. I was just floored when i bought the new album, pressed play, grooved to smoothie song then Whatever you fee-heeel I was like WHOA!! Nickel Creek is doing PAVEMENT! I was very excited.
Anywho....

-Yeah, i noticed the down-play of the violin on the album, but then again, they focused a LOT more on her vocals. Actually, this album is more lyrically/vocally focused than their first. And that was the point. We all know they can do 100mph solos, but sometimes less is more...and they were exploring.

-I was actually rather impressed on how much they had grown lyrically. Brand New Sidewalk floored me once i listened to it a few times.....Chris is becoming quite the poet. And Sean's lyrics are VERY good....Let it Fall is quite profound.

Well.... yeah... but that's true of probably the majority of lyricists that have written music in the last, oh, 30 years... unless one is counting the rather trite stuff written for pop bands such as 'NSync or Britney. (Don't get me wrong, I happen to think that 'NSync and 98 degrees, at least, are extraordinarily talented musicians, they just generally sing stuff that's about as deep and meaningful as a bowl of oatmeal.


I mean, come on Chip SPIT ON A STRANGER? What on Earth is that supposed to mean?


As already stated, not their tune. Neither is The Fox. But the band clearly knows what the meaning is, because Chris has said that Alison wouldn't let them record a song unless they understood the meaning, which is why they never recorded Toad's Windmills (an *amazing* song that relates to, if memory serves, Don Quixote and makes sense in that context.)


Brand New Sidewalk and Young are o.k. but I personally think they could have done better


Better than what ??? I'll respect your opinion, but respectfully disagree. Young was written about Chris' younger brother, Brand New Sidewalk is an incredibly haunting and powerful tune... what we're seeing (IMHO) is a new level of depth and maturity in lyrics as well as instrumentation and arrangement. The cool part for me is that the music does a good job of speaking to two audiences: the audience that's happy with relatively mediocre pop-ish stuff as well as the audience that is seeking deeper, more meaningful music. There aren't many bands that effectively bridge that gap, but NC's done a pretty incredible job so far.

They play so good, but you can't really tell while trying to tell what they are singing about! Got what I'm saying?

It's definitely music that requires more thought and contemplation. You can listen to it without thinking about the lyrics and be moved, or you can listen, hear the lyrics, and *really* be moved. But that's why there are so many different flavors of music out there, so that there's something for everyone's taste.

[OrnotMajestic]

Yeah, Windmills deals with Don Quixote. Windmills were giants to be conquered...one of Don Quixote's many delusions. Actually, the entire album Dulcinea (which happens to be the heroines name of the book) is themed around Don Quixote. If you take the allegorical meanings behind the book: inner beauty, staunch idealism, etc. the songs do make more sense.
Don Quixote passage on the windmills....just for fun!! (http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_2/don_quixote.html)

And everytime i listen to Brand New Sidewalk I pick up something new....

[Erika]

Okay, what I mean, is I don't care who wrote them, they (the songs) don't mean much if you don't know what they mean. Yeah you,Nickel Creek, Alison, Y'all might know what the songs mean because y'all've searched it out. But someone who's just listening to the songs hears one and thinks WHAT PLANET DID THIS GROUP FALL OFF OF? I don't think that, but I'm just saying.

[Ames]

I totally disagree with you Erika. It takes much more intelligence to listen to NC's songs than to listen to someone who comes out and says in very small words EXACTLY what they mean. It's called artistry. You become more vested in a song (and an artist) if you have actually have to think about it.

[Bluespaz]

a bowl of oatmeal, Chip? [shock] interesting comparison....

i agree, u do hafta really LISTEN to their music to find the meaning and the purpose of it. i guess new fans to nickel creek are used to the bowl of oatmeal singers

i still have to listen to their songs more than once to figure out wat they mean, as does probably even the longest nickel creek fans, but i must admit some of them COMPLETELY are kind of...um.....well, i'm just plain confused (but whats new, eh?)

this thread did start out hilarious, i couldnt stop laffing! [lloll] [lolol]

[Chip]

Part of it is, to some extent, an age thing. NC attracts a very wide audience, people from probably 8 to 80. And I know that on this board, we've got people from 14 to over 60 for sure... and the typical younger person isn't looking for the same things musically that someone 25 is looking for.

But NC has done a pretty good job of appealing to both.

However, IMHO, if you're going to listen to a band that has really wide audience appeal and whose music is much deeper and more meaningful than the bowl of oatmeal style (I'm finding myself liking that metaphor), it really doesn't make sense to criticize it for being deep and meaningful... there's plenty of trite stuff to listen to if you want that, so if you choose to listen to NC, then it might make sense to accept that the metaphor and depth of the lyrics are part of the package.

[kokomo88]

yeah, I know people who listen to NC and don't pay attention to what they are singing

my question is

How could you not pay attention to or not desire the meaning of music with such emotion portrayed? The music that is written and played, that they pour their hearts into, how could someone not want to know the meaning?

I know, younger people usually don't pay attention to what kinds of things might be behind the lyrics, but to me, it's a really crucial part of it..emotion, I mean...

SO I guess my point was,
How could one listen to any music, original, or redone, by Nickel Creek, and just not feel the emotion that is portrayed?

[matt the fiddler]

i would say a similiar thing about mahler's 1st, the firebird, pictures of an exibition, steve reich's violin phase, or wagner's ring cycle- and while a lot of people could at least hum a few of the tunes from a couple of those composers [especially now that fantasia 2000-] - or hear that the ring is just the best opera gets- not too many people have given thema fair listen... or even know how to listen..... learnign to listen to music takes a lifetime.. [even chris woudl say he has more to learn] and is an active and very hard process/ yet has many sides to it..... so it jsut comes down to different people hear different things in music -based on what they have been exposed to [some one with has an rock and roll only background will have no clue how to listen to bluegrass or african drum circles and vise versa], and how mature their ears are also playes a role- playing an instrument at a high profinency levels requires and creates mature ears- so most people who are great instrumentalists have a deeper listening capacity than people who haven't played anythign much.......
it goes a lot deeper than that- but that is a brush at the surface....

[Erika]

I don't what to have to have a 2000 I.Q. just to listen to music. HELLO! I just what to enjoy it. Which I do. I don't want to think while I'm chilinlistening to music. I am me. You are not me. So NO ONE can make me pay attention to the DEEPLY hidden meanings. I JUST WANT TO LISTEN! OKAY?

[kokomo88]

dude, I wasn't trying to tell you to listen for a deeper meaning, and I hope you weren't taking what I said that way, I was just saying that there's a lot of emotion in music, and I was just wondering how some people sometimes listen to music but don't get anything from it, because there's always a message, personal or trying to get a point across, in any song at all...that's all I meant, I hope I didn't offend you...:)

[La Cienega]

Hi folks, this is my first ever post so please be gentle.

Last nigh I saw Nickel Creek on a TV show, Later with jools Holland, they played should've known better and I must say I was perplexed. First of all I saw young Miss Watkins and my jaw hit the floor, ure right Goose, Ornot and Bryan (did I get those names right?) she is rather gorgeous isnt she. Anyway thenI saw Chris and was mightily impressed with how he looked a true rock star even though he plays a mandolin-moshing along to the tune. Once my initial delight at these two characters had passed I started to listen to the song, and my, what a song it is i've honestly never heard anything quite like it in my life, in a good way that is! So anyway the next day I was a bad boy and downloaded a few songs (yeh i know, think of the starving musicians) and i'm still loving everything i hear by them, so can someone recommend wat album I should buy first, my two favourite songs ive heard are Hand song and when you come back down but I still really love should've known better if thats any use to yer. Rite cheers for listenin to my crazy rant, which is probably in the wrong forum or something stupidlike that, ah well...

[ncfan]

I just wanted to say hi and to welcome you. Which album should you buy first.... it's tough. They are both so good. I have to say their first album is my favorite. But This Side is awesome too. I would recommend getting their first album, Nickel Creek, first. It's an awesome album :D

Shannon

[La Cienega]

Rite cheers Shannon, thanks for the advice.

[Erika]

I'm not offened kokomo88.;) Actully I was aming my post towards Ames. Saying ...it takes INTELLIGENCE to listen to Nickel Creek. Sorry, but, uh, NO, it don't!

[Goose_17]

Yeah, I know I haven't been around for awhile. In part to busy with my mandolin, and the other part...lack of desire (not to NC..just this site). It is good to know that I'm still thought of though..and in positive terms too! Bart, hats (and shorts!) off to you. I thought it was fine and its good to know the person we copied isn't upset. But Ornot, I'm a little bit struck at the sitting on my lap statement. Maybe I'm too Sara is such a great and wonderful person, I'm not worthy thing for me to think that far ahead. But it does make for interesting and peculiar chat. and to return to the topic of the thread...no matter how highly debated....Sara=hot. I looked it up in the dictionary. Yes, that would be the Chris McCoy's Dictionary under the I'm right edition (page six, listed after other beauties in alphabetical order). I'm still all for serenading (sp?) Sara. Surfer Girl would be good..given the aforementioned that she likes to body board and seeing that she is from Califorina (Hmm...i wish they all could be cali. girls?). But I would also like other songs like I only have eyes for you in the traditional style (with the bop sha bop). If you can't remember the song..think of an older pepsi commercial of new born babies at a hopistal with pretty girls (or girl) looking through the window drinking pepsi...(oddly enough). Yeah, that was a long explanation. It is a shame we don't all live near each other. We could hit several shows surrounding us and each time with a different song. Of course, making sure she isn't annoyed by it....it would be a shame to anger an angel.
and oh geez...did everyone just decided to freak out and define for themselves what it means to listen to music? From erika's point of view she said that many of their song's don't make sense, not that they don't have meaning. From an argumentative point of view, the word sense she used is mostly likely referring to common sense and i would agree with her in that. On the other hand, i don't think artistry falls under common sense, seeing that you have to look for hidden meaning with plays on words, similies, metaphors, etc. Using and finding this in songs and/or literature isn't common in that not just anybody can do it, it isn't common to everyone. On another ANAL point, some of you tried to say that songs not written by them don't count as their songs. Obviously they can't take legal rights to it but if they cover the song and put it on their album, can they not be judged by it musically? Sometimes I think ppl over anaylze some things. I recall an interview by NC where they stated for the This Side album, they felt as if Smoothie Song was their fun song, their party song ( I could be wrong actually about the smoothie...it might have been another song). Point being, they didn't sit there and break down the song to the interviewer based on all the influence, meaning, and inspiration behind the song..they said...it's a fun song to do. and on my third ANAL point. The purpose of this site was stated as This site is for thoughtful discussion about the band and it's music, not for random chatter. But as the same time we (including the mods) talk about OTHER music besides NC which as I understand NC and NC's music is the purpose of this site. Isn't this a deviation from the purpose statement and the rules? Now calm down all you who are angry and ready to send me a firey reply. All these anal points were made not in my true belief in them but more to show how somewhat pointless this discussion (the music doesn't make sense vs. it is an artisan well of meaning) appears to someone who has just casual read the post. Such bickering and legalisism could scare away readers! [eek!!] Guys, you all make me laugh, I enjoy all your posts from the strange to the ones that are far above my grasp of understanding....let's get a grip.
chris, the goose <><

p.s. yeah i know i know...i'm gonna get some fun replies on this one huh?
and oh..bart..my only qualm w/you is the kinda hot statement. excuse me for the correction but there's no kinda in there...she just is...lol...

[La Cienega]

JESUS! super long post alert, I couldnt properly get me head around it I can't concentrate on sommet for that long, I think its my computers fault! Any who would I be right in saying that the general point of it was that we should stop worrying about the rules of the forum and just enjoy the thing. If not well I'll make that point now cos I think it is a valid one.

[Taipan]

given that someone mentioned IQ, I'm gonna have to point this out. George Bush has an IQ of 91.

*pauses for the rest of the world to finish laughing*

and I personally didn't think there was that much 'behind' young or brand new sidewalk and think Chris is a little too adventurous lyrically on occasion. Sean is a good lyricist when he's writing about the right topic. I think NC could have deeper songs if they weren't all about reasonably radio-friendly subjects.

[kokomo88]

I think that the music rocks....I love it....Brand New Sidewalk souns like something from the Mama's and the Papa's...but young really rocks...I don't take criticism on the two greatest guys on earth that well...so I'm just gonna shutup

[Sarah9230]

All I have to say is AMEN to Goose there. Way too much overanaylizing (sp?)

welcome to the newbie

and folks just need to chill out and just enjoy the music. Thats why they gave it to us.

[OrnotMajestic]

Goose, do not be afraid of me and my sitting on my lap statement...I'm just goofing for giggles. Not that I wouldn't WANT her to, it's just that I'm not making any demands, nor voicing any real daydreams of mine. I'm just going along with the spirit of the thread! :D

As for what songs mean. I believe it's in the eye of the beholder. It's the old saying: If a car accident happens at an intersection of two streets, and there are 4 people, one at each corner, each will give a different story of what happened. Music can very much be this way. Seal, an artist i admire, wrote in his 1995? album about this very subject. You see, he doesn't print his lyrics in the booklet. People ask him about this. He replies that he believes that every person makes songs their own. If you hear a line in the song that strikes you as important, as meaningful, you remember it. But what were to happen if later on down the road you find out that what you heard is not what was said? What if you find out that what it meant to you, was not the message the artist was trying to portray?
As for myself, I was raised by an English teacher (my mother). What that means is i have this compulsive drive to decipher every piece of art that comes my way. I look for meaning in songs, books, poetry, movies....i look for imagery, etc etc. And that's just me. Some people don't give a flying doggie turd....and that's ok too. Because to them, maybe that's not important! Do I think I overanalyze? NO. Do my friends think I overanalyze? YES. They usually make fun of me as after a movie i try to break down the hidden meanings....but it's all good. We are all different. Personally, i've taken what I liked from Brand New Sidewalk. I thought it was one of Chris's better songs lyrically....cause i drew strong images of love and sidewalks....and it made sense to me. Is it what Chris meant? Probably not. Do i care? Not really, cause that song now has a personal meaning to me.

So what is it that all these words are trying to say? I'm trying to say that it doesn't matter how you listen to it....JUST LISTEN. Music means different things to different people, and the way that you (you, as in arbitrarily all of us) listen is not the right way, it's your way.

:D

[kokomo88]

thank youuuu mister ornot duddde who i don't know your real name but I'm guessing it's dave....I don't know why you just strike me as a dave...anywho, yeah my English teacher does that too....we break things down piece by piece and all that sort of thing..sometimes it's fun..sometimes its horrid...but that's ok, I agree with everything ya just said :)

[Bluespaz]

i don't go LOOKING for the meanings, i just wait for them to come to me...personally, i had thought i had figured out young, but brand new sidewalk came as a complete blur to me...
it kind of ruins the charm of the song for me to go LOOKING for the meaning, because then the mysteriousness (or...well...i dont know, i can't explain it) just, i dunno, goes POOF!!! bye bye, see ya lata...i just, well, (im confusing myself over here)....um....how can i put this...well, im just kind of awed when i hear a great song i love (house carpenter [noise] ), but the meaning just doesnt strike me at first, but i dont care, because the melody just strikes me as being awesome and breathtaking itself.
but if i am REALLY caught up in something, i'll listen to it like 3984720938472234987 7/8 times to see what it means

ornot and goose, feel like typing much? took me awhile to read it, but of course, mentioning IQs, mine is about a negative 91

and welcome to the new person

good points, all of you, they kinda changed my view a lil

[Ames]

Erika --

What I was trying to say is take more though to figure out what someone says when they use vague words. So perhaps not intelligence, but insight and deduction. Listen to the music for whatever reason pleases you, I personally think it's awesome that even though most of the tracks on This Side aren't instrumental, you still enjoy the music that much without delving into the lyrics. That simply shows the cross-section of people Nickel Creek appeals to. I certainly didn't mean to offend you and I'm sorry if I did. Goose -you make me laugh, don't change. :p Taipan-that fact frightens me more than you could know. Ornot - I appreciate you having the courage to stand up (or offer up your lap) for what you believe in. :) It's just music everybody.

[Goose_17]

i really don't think high intelligence should be a judging factor for how good of a president someone is/was...i mean there are many people (like rainman..and john from a beautiful mind..which was based on a true story) who wouldn't quite work as our president b/c of problems yet their iq is amazingly high. and i find it ironic that probably the most intelligent president we had, jimmy carter (intelligent in the iq sense...he was a nuclear enginerring or nuclear physicist in the navy) was one of the most uneventful and one of the less popular ones... i'm so sick of the i've been through higher education arrogance that seems to run through our culture...i think a lot of ppl would be shocked by history if they saw all the influential ppls iq's. like for instance....before the american revo...george washington fought in the french & indian war....i believe if i remember correctly that he was put in charge there for the sole reason ...he was the only one w/ a uniform when he came to sign up. and sara will still be cute when i see her w/my friends in atlanta!!!

[NCFreak]

Good points, Goose, but...

...Dubya is not stupid. It was all just a very effective smear campaign...taking advantage of his speech disorder. Ya can't get a masters degree in business from Yale if your stupid. I think it was Yale. Anyway, the people that think Dubya IS stupid prove their ignorance, their dependence on the mass media and their inability to think for themselves just by saying so. I apologize for offending anyone by saying that. Please, let's not make this a huge debate. I'll shut up now.

Sara will be adorable when Goose sees her in Atlanta.

well, i hate to break this up, but, how did this go from sara is HOT, to needing intelligence to really understand nickel creek music, to how mentally disabled our president is? [think har

I rest my case.
Neat. That's the first time I've seen that photo. I'll send it to Rush to see what he thinks.

I have a pic to show, too. This split photo is famous. Clinton on the left, Dubya on the right.

[Bart Simpson]

Come on...... I dont like or dislike Dubya but I have to stick up for him on this one. When anyone is in the spotlight 24 hours a day for 4 years straight you are bound to find something funny and stupid. Has anyone heard the story about dubya going to a fast food restaurant to get food??? It was a big publicity stunt. Dubya walked into the fast food restaurant and sat down and waited for somone to wait on him! :-)) It seems that dubya had never been to a fast food restaurant and didnt know you had to walk up to the counter and place your order. Someone on his staff had to walk up to him and tell him to stand up and go plave his order!! How funny is that!

[NCFreak]

i think Bart's got this one nailed. Can we drop it now?

honestly, truthfully, and cautiously (so i dont get jumped [hide]) must say that i dont think sean really is THAT cute, but i love chris's hair more than sean's looks

SEAN SEAN HE'S OUR MAN IF HE CAN'T DO IT...um...i dunno who can...

well Joce, i guess you like Sean a little? same for the rest of you Sean-Lovers!

poor chris, no one is worshiping him! LoL

[NickelCreekFan1]

i can worship Chris...

[kokomo88]

just a little...I actually dreamed about him last nite....;) yeah..so...not meaning to be ridiculously stubborn and bring up the subject of Dubya again..but honestly, i think he has done an EXTAORDINARY job for all the stress that he has been under....but ah...yah, he's a better prez than Clinton, I think...but really, look at how much stress he has been under since the issue with 9/11...i think he deserves a little slack...he's not the best president, but he has done the best job he can in dealing with all our problems with the Middle East...just mho....

back to sean...I'm so happy! it was the first time I dreamed about him....I'm not obsessed...honest!!!![guilty]

heehee...

yes, good point joce, i know he has been doing a good job
PM me

YES YOU ARE OBSESSED!! LoL [bang]
admitting is the first step to recovery [nono]

I am obsessed with Chris's air :-))
but of course, the fact of him getting married doesnt help at all [sob]

[nkl_crk_freek]

When I signed on today, the welcome screen on AOL had a picture of Frodo and Legolas in the corner and a link under it saying Furry feet or pointy ears? It reminded me of our hobbit disussion, and I remember reading somewhere that Chris could be considered a tall elf? I don't want to hurt Sean's feelings, or offend anyone, I just thought it was hilarious that that poll was there this morning!

Ya gotta luv Sean!

[noise]

[kokomo88]

that you do! oh jeepers watch all the guys come and yell at us again for talking about Sean in Sara's thread....hypers...they haven't yelled at us for a while now have they? actually I think it was more NCfreak than anyone...how do you think NC feels knowing we are all so obsessed?

[Bluespaz]

very true, very true....maybe we should stop ;)
sorry, guyz, we couldnt resist lol

[kokomo88]

Bart: how many times a day do you change your avatar?

[OrnotMajestic]

[bigeyes]
WOW, Sara looked good in that dress at the CMA's...
*Swoons*

[kokomo88]

oh I didn't get to seeeeeeeee do YOU at least remember what Sean looked like? at all? in the slightest?

[Goose_17]

i think everone agrees...she looked great!!!!!!

and the dress didn't look so bad either....hehe.

goose

[Ames]

Joce-he looked great. He was wearing a blue shirt and jeans if memory serves me correctly. But in keeping on subject, both he and Chris were very underdressed compared to the loverly Miss Sara. That dress was seriously cute.

[OrnotMajestic]

WOW!! Do you think a marriage proposal is out of hand?? nawww.....

:D ;)

[Goose_17]

speaking of marriage proposals...i wonder what the count is up to now. in birmingham the number was up to five i think...and there were atleast one or two in the concerts following...i know i could add to that number maybe thursday...hehe...of course i think i would laugh more at girls proposing to sean. that would be hilarious. but seeing the girls we have here and how much they love him (or atleast love his looks, his singing, songwriting, playing, and dressing taste) i wouldn't doubt it.

goose

p.s. hey ornot...did i ever tell you about the mix idea bryan and i had for a shirt? we wanted to take the famous painting of one cherub by raphel...paste sara's face in the picture and put bryan's question whattya mean there are other members of the band? ..just wondering if you knew..or what you thought..

[kokomo88]

[guilty] I'd propose to Sean....jk I wouldn't do that, I respect him too much and I would be too shy to actually yell SEAN WILL YOU MARRY ME!!!!!!!!!! besides, I'm half his age and that would be wrong...[guilty]

Now I just need to find a pic of Sara that will work with this....
:D Count me in!! :D

[Bluespaz]

i wouldn't propose to chris!!! i can maintain control THANK YOU VERY MUCH! lol no just kidding but honestly his fiance is beautiful and they will be very happy together (grrr) can you tell i'm single?!

o well, as for you ornot, bryan, and goose, i'll be watching the concert, waiting for your tshirts and songs to sara!

[desert rose]

:D Its funny watching you guys adore the members of Nickel Creek. My cousin and her fiance' said that I look like Sara and sing like her. I agree with them, but I can can barely play the fiddle. :( I wish I could. I did do a version of Reasons Why at the local country/bluegrass festival singing contest and one 2nd place. I wish that I could have won 1st, but oh well. It was fun. :)

[NCFreak]

Hey now...you can't be makin' claims like that without posting a pic. You know, to back up your argument. My thoughts are completely innocent.

[mandofocus]

Hmm. Let's see... Bryan...innocent thoughts? Yeah no.
That's like the Chechnya-Russia war ending in the next ten minutes. lol

PJ :cool:

[desert rose]

Lol!!:D Point taken! I had a person ask me at the festival if I WAS the actual Sara from Nickel Creek. I thought it was funny. I cracked up in the ladys face. She must have thought that I was a lunatic! :D

[NCFreak]

I'm being 100% honest here...

I'm just curious to see how close the resemblance actually is. Now even more because someone actually thought you WERE Sara. You've just GOTTA post a pic. It's not like it's out of the ordinary. There's even a thread somewhere around here on Chris look-a-likes.

[desert rose]

Alright...let me find one. I'll post it asap!:D

[desert rose]

Here ya go.....This is me and Emmylou (my fiddle) at the local Country-Bluegrass festival singing contest. I played 3 entire notes on the fiddle!:eek: :D That's all I can play. My mom did my makup and put a beauty mark on my left cheek, cuz I dont really have one. It was sort of a look like a star contest too. The boy who won looked like Elvis....and they realy are identical. My dad took this one with the digital camera...whaddya think?

[Erika]

My Gosh! How long has this thread been up??? Yeah, post a pic! I thought you were a guy at first, I have no idea why, but if you look like Sara, I hope you are not a guy!!!!!

[Erika]

AHHHHH! Who Cloned Sara??!!?? Y'all Are IDENTICAL! That is amazing! I would've asked if you were Sara too![eek!!]

[NCFreak]

[nono] NICE TRY!! I've only seen that pic 8 million times.

Haha....thought I had you! NOT! I knew anyone that was a fan of Sara wouldv'e seen that picture already anyway. I won't fib no more. :) I was only on one of my caffien/sugar highs.

HAAHHAAH!!!! YOU CAN'T CONTROL MY MADDNESS!!!MWAHAHA!!!
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE!!!:confused: [think har :-)) :D

(Sugar high)


P.s: Yes I AM a girl. My name's Ashley. I think that the Sting Picture might have threw you off. Im a girl, though. A GIRL ON A VERY INTENSE SUGAR HIGH!!!!MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

[desert rose]

This is me... this picture is a joke. I'm with Union Station. Not the band, but the historic train depot in St. Louis! Hehe....not. But, anyway, this is me, and here me am!!! My dad really took this one. It was his idea. I thought it was corny. very very corny. So now....whaddya think?

[desert rose]

This is me; this is me, and here me am!!! My dad really took this one. It was his idea. I thought it was corny. very very corny. So now....whaddya think?

[Silmarien]

Nice picture..Where is it?:p
I have a question for you all...
How many of you have met Sara Watkins? I was just curious....

[OrnotMajestic]

You can't fool me. I know my Sara from anywhere!!:D

[Thilefan]

I have met and talked with Sara a total of 6 times.

Very nice person.

[Bart Simpson]

She's incredibly nice. And (for all the men) actually prettier in person. Bryan, from that picture (and my memory) I'd have to say she always looks so..freshly scrubbed. Wholesome even. She's got great skin. :)

So does anyone else when sitting next to my oily, zit-covered face. I hate being 28 years old with a 16 year old's skin. [grumpy]

[Elizabeth]

I've met Sara only once, and she is so lovely. I agree with Amy, she is prettier in person. She was so easy to talk to, and she has some of the prettiest clothes.

[Ames]

Oh my God! Bryan I wasn't even talking about you! Shut up you're cute! My goodness. No I mean she glows. She really does. I've seen her in person and thought the same thing. I think it's her personality that shows through. She just looks pure and wholesome. Like she could sell oatmeal or something. I was just complementing her. I'm sorry. :(

[desert rose]

HAHA....my picture wouldn't fit but I guess I submitted twice....somehow....hmm.....I had turkey and I guess it made me sleepy. Oh well.

Hey Bryan.....you're not alone. My skins not the best. Its almost perfect since I got my perscription. But I'm only 13 and that's typical. People say I look like I'm about 20 since my face cleared up.:D

Yes, i WILL take that as a compliment.:D

[Erika]

You mean that first picture was not of you? (i am so embaressed now![hide] Though I was completly amazed that you two had the EXACT shape of eyes!)

[desert rose]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!![lolol] I did get someone!!! Nah... I look a little like her, but I'm not Identical. I have the same eyes and the sort of flatter chin like hers. I'm trying to let my hair grow my hair real long like hers. There IS a girl at my church that's name is Sara Black, and they resemble so closely that it's scary!!! I'm not kidding, either! Its really like talking to the real Sara. She is about 10lbs heavier than the real Sara, and she doesn't sing. And, she's actually kind of mean. But she really resembles Sara. I'll have to look for a picture of me and her from chuch camp.

Sorry I embarrassed you!

Desert Rose Apologies,
Ashley Berry (desert rose):D

[Silmarien]

I've only met Sara once too, she didn't really talk to me though.... she was talking to some other girl at the time....so I didn't really meet her I just got her autograph... Chris talked to me though..
She is really pretty! I would say she has normal skin though.. I mean it's really not all that diffrent from everyone elses... where I'm fom anyway...But she is very pretty I think one of the many reasons is she doesn't wear makeup! I was surprised, but I think that's cool.

[think har What are you sorry for? I knew what you were trying to say. I wasn't mad at you at all. I'm just mad at my complexion. I am the definitiion of combonation skin.

[desert rose]

you're NEVER alone....[evil eye]

Sorry...I just had a caremel chocolate ice cream bar. It was SOOO good!!!:D

[kokomo88]

LOL i just had a chocolate ice cream bar too! vanilla in the middle.....just to be odd, my skin is really really weird....if I get a pimple or something...it stays there for an hour and goes away...I never have had a prob and I hope I won't since i'm only 14, but whatever...Sara is lovely and I think the fact that she doesn't put a ton of cake on her face rocks!
I think it would be absolutely horrible if one day like....I dunno she had so much makeup on you could carve your name in her cheek with your fingernail...that much makeup is baaaaaaaaaaaaaad....anywho, I'm gonna go, its late I'm tired and i'm making no sense....bye!

[desert rose]

yeah...I'm only 13, but whenever I get an ucky, (pimple), It stays for like a week. Luckily I only get, like, one every month or so, at the most. hey kokomo...I pm'd you awhile ago. This one girl wears like so much makeup, that when she runs in gym, mascara, eyeshadow, makeup, and eyeliner run down her face. Its gross. She doesn't go out with guys, either. I like sara's face. she has that innocent look that I want soooo bad.

[Goose_17]

and so your honor i present article b as an example of the digression and destruction of a post...hehe. yeah..didn't fool me w/the pic. hmm..impersonating our beloved heroine? banishment!!! lol...j/k...well the thought it floating around.


goose <><

still searching....for that pic that is..

[desert rose]

So, if that's the way it is, then, I will now go to bed. Its 11:00pm here. hehe...I'll see you later...bye!

[Bluespaz]

jocelyn, desertrose (ashley, is it?) you two are perfect for eachother! absolutely hyper, and...er....how should i say this....interesting? i think you two would be best friends, should you know eachother personally and better.

im a little late on this one, but desertrose, you had me with that picture, i thought it was really you! but of course, i knew that if it was a fake, bryan goose or ornot would come and point it out (and they did) o wow im so proud of our sara-fanatics.

Yes, we cannot be fooled. We know our goddess well. :D

Ornot.....That's hilarious!!!! I'm sure Sara would be tremendously flattered.

I don't know Jocelyn very well, but she is quite interesting. She's cool.:cool: Course, ALL of yuns are Cool!!! Hehe...:cool:
(Play's the theme to The Soprano's:cool: )

[kokomo88]

:D why thank ya very much! lol and hey no fair I don't watch the Sopranos

[desert rose]

I'm watching it right now. It's acctually a good show. It is, though, quite violent and they cuss a lot. But cussing isn't such a big deal if you're from and grew up in Italy. Especially if you're a mobster!:D

Oh, I've said too much.....:D :cool:

[Bluespaz]

it's a great show, and it's fun because the guy goes on a spaz-attack-psychological-rampage and throws the tissue box or watever on the floor and then apologizes and picks it up (theres better parts, but im too lazy to type em out) my brother loves that show BECAUSE of the violence [evil eye]

i wish you too (jocelyn and ashley) could meet, that would be the best thing and i know you dont know eachother welll it just seems like you two could get along great dont mind me im babbling now...

Sara Watkins, goddess...im studying myths, mythologies, and gods, but i've never heard THAT one..must be the Bluegrass religion? [think har

You must have missed it.... its listed under Sara, Goddess of Beuty, fiddles, and what not, and right next to Sting, God of Extremely undeniebly Good Looks and charm.

[kokomo88]

GASP! Lani! is it true? My one and only scorning people for worshiping sara?????? :coughs:chaircult!:coughs:

lol hey I Love Sean and you never yelled at ME, but then again I don't have a shrine and worship him...I just think he's the most gorgeous guy on earth..but yeah...gee I'm not obsessed, ah let them worship her!

Desert Rose>>>>> are you as obsessed with Sean as I am?

[desert rose]

No, probably not. sorry! he is hot, though, but I'm more focused on Sting and Seal.
:D

My belly hurts. [sob] I gotta go! Bye! :D

[Bart Simpson]

I am suprised this topic has three pages.:confused:

[Goose_17]

yes..three pages long...and yet almost less than maybe 50% of the posts are about sara? hmm

Actually, I think it's Sean.

[lloll]

Cassie

[sap2257]

I definitly agree with you on that one!! Sean is so HOTT!! There is no one hotter than he is! and he is so down to earth and it is so cute when he gets embarassed. At the Atlanta show on Nov. 14th the crowd was cheering so loud and he was so cute b/c he couldn't believe all the noise was for them! I got to meet him too, so I'm a very happy girl! All the proof is in my pics!
-Sarah

[Bart Simpson]

50% Goose. No way it is that high of a percent. Lol:p

[desert rose]

No, there's several good-lookin' Gods. :D

Sara was on that cingular ad, but they quit running it like, after the first week. why?

It would be cool if Sara knew Judo and beat the commercial people up!!!:D

(Watching The Sopranos [bigeyes] )

[kokomo88]

yeah...Sean is way hott, but um...he's a lot older than me, there's not a hope in the world for my poor pathetic self who just totally butchered my chances at ANY PART in Les Mis, but enough about me ( auditions BAD joce! I stunk on ice.)

He is Hott, but as there is no chance, I kinda gotta stick to the local guys....[splat]

[Bluespaz]

hey, didnt matt and chip tell us to drop this whole thing 3 pages ago? lol o well, i guess they must've given up or i am illiterate (i'll go with the 2nd one)

yes, i'll look harder for the gods and goddess page.. you should all just start one big cult, guyz n girlz, and you shall worship WATKINS!!.......just my opinion tho....

i feel so left out, i dont think sean is that cute :o chris is beautiful but i know a certain someone that is unbelievably cute....ANYWAYZ.......

i would say about 53.47668% of these posts are about sara...wow, 3 pages??

[Erika]

Hey Desert Rose- did or are you going to to post a REAL picture of you? *blushes for not noticing it really was Sara*

[desert rose]

As soon as I find one that will fit in the post, I will.

*searches for nice digital pic*

My dad told me last night that I look like Meadow Soprano. Honestly, I'm not making it up.

*searches...*

[desert rose]

I can't find one. I'll have to take a rain check on it. All of my digital pics are too big. I'll try to find one later. I got mono and its hard to concentrate right now cause I'm tired. But it did get me out of all classes for the rest 2002!!!

[desert rose]

haha...bluespaz is funny... hey, bluespaz, who is that avatar of? Laughing.....haha.... funny stuffs.

[kokomo88]

'scuse me Mr Iluvsara man sir, but everyone on the board is well meaning and pay no attention to the ornot or the ncfreak behind the curtain...unless they're apologising for an honest mistake...no one on the board is tryin to be mean to ya! I thought your post was highly amusing... some folks on the board have a really dry sense of humour....muahaha? no offense guys...so just chill and all will be well in the world of Sara-Sean-Chris Worshipers again,...I hope....not saying anyone will be SANE but there shall be peace

[desert rose]

Yeah, No one's trying to be mean. NCFreak and Ornot are just two silly cuties. Silly cuties are like that, am I right? 'sides, I used to be obsessed with Chris, and in fact, my old username for this message board was 'AshleyLuvsChris.' To put it in Sting's words, You're not alone. You're NEVER alone. Kinda creepy...

Desert Roses,
Ashley



OHHH!!! She's My Kind of Rain by Tim McGraw is on CMT right now!! EEEEE!!!!:D Gotta love it!

[UpInYourHeart]

I've gotta say, even though I'm not inlove with Sara, and I'm not a guy, she IS a cutie...I love the fact that she's not a stick (bodywise) makes us fellow non-sticks, but definitely not fat people feel better to have someone in the spotlight be one too...haha :)

ITS LOUIE BABY *see signature for details* hes also mostly know as Louis Armstrong my friend lipsynced a song of his for a concert and it was the bast thingy and i like love it now

ok sorry spaz attack

[desert rose]

Ha, I should have figured... the great Louis Armstrong! Whoo! cool stuffs!!!

Anyway, staying on topic, yeah, I'm not a guy either, but Sara makes me appreciate all fiddlers, cause, did you know that 80% of all fiddle players worldwide are male?

Homer: Anyone can make up statistics and percentages to prove anything. 40% of all people know that.:D

[aaronsawyer]

i just like their music...it rocks!

[desert rose]

did I miss something? Who's music is cool? (sorry for the stupid question)[think har

[missem]

Back to what I think is the original topic...As to which NC to buy. It really depends on which you like more..speedy instrumentals or catchy vocals. Both have awesome Creek music, but the self titled has more instrumentals and This Side focuses more attention on lyrics, but both have awesome sound. Pick your pony.

As for the lyrics...I am a big time analist and English person. Therefore, I believ that lyrics have meaning, but I think sometimes people dig too deep. Example seven wonders/antichrist thing. Not that Sean isn't smart enought to write lyrics as such, but that not many people would understand it, and then he would have to exdplain it. Which sucks. As for Brand New Sidewalk I am still lost on this one. I see how the love thing works some of the time, but others I don't get it. Just a point... in all of these Song meaning posts love has come up a lot, and I find it hard to believe that a band that admires other bands for their lack of love themed songs would make an album with sooo many love songs. Sean has said that their music deals with relationships with people more so than opposite sex relationships. I see this is Sean's songs, but Chris's seem to rely heavily on love. Perhaps because he is in love and Sean..to our knowledge...is not. Any Thoughts? Please don't think I am digging in their personal lives, but where you are at in life definately comes out in your songs. I just think Chris and Sean are good examples of this. And I hate conflict, so please don't mad cow on me if you don't agree! [sob]

I totally agree. I compose songs on the piano, and if i'm in a good mood, I'll write a song in a chord like 'A minor or D minor,' or some other minor chords, and a steady bass line. but if I'm in a happy mood, I'll write songs in 'C major, F major, or A major, or a major chord, and, depending on how happy/hyper I am I'll usually have a walking bass line. (not to be confused with a walking fish)

[desert rose]

to sum it up:
sad mood = minor chords, steady bass line

Good mood = major chords, walking fish..er...bass line. :D

my stuff usually turns out modal, minor etc. or a bit of jazz...

you can do so much more with minor modes than major stuff.

For some reason, I really love minor 7th's.....they are so ambient and moody.....that's what I usually write in....

These posts are funny! I love Nickel Creek, and yes, Sara IS beautiful ( I am a girl, don't get any bad thoughts here! ). And, YES, Chris and Sean are extremely hott! I guess you can say that maybe I am obsessed! :D I love Chris' hair! Sean's eyes are just the most amazing thing I've ever seen. :) But, back onto their music. I listen to their CD's practically EVERY day. Okay, now I guess you can say that I'm obsessed, but it's true. Ask my parents, I AM obsessed. But, that's a good thing. I know good music when I hear it, right? ;) And I know good-looking people when I see them, am I right again? :D ;)

Don't worry, Emily, I think I'm bordering on obsession, I HAVE to listen to their music everyday, even if it's just one song! My parents don't mind because they like them too, but perhaps not quite as much as I do. I love them all sooo much! And you are a very good judge of good looks! When I met them I was practically hyperventilating I was so excited!
