Did I Say That? (7)

Good song. I love the first part of this song but I don't like when it's starting change and turn into fast and turn into slow... I think the guitar isn't the best in this song. Well, wait a minute! I'll finish the negative critics...

My score: 7


Average: 9.11 (328/36)

i really like this one 9

the rare song where the single edit is better than the album version

still, it's best on CHSIB IMO so it gets a 9

I really enjoy this song, I would rate it a 9. The only thing that bothers me about it is that darn car alarm sound after the first chorus that apparently only I can hear. (Sound effects in your head- is that worse than voices in your head?)

I like this song, but it is not my favorite. I like the fact that the tempo changes often but the "Did I Say That" is repeated a few too many times in my opinion. I listen, but can never hear that car door .....

My vote would be 8/10

I'd give it a 9 too as it's the second best track on CHSIB. CHSIB itself gets a 10.

9/10

Love DIST too. Took me while to 'get used' to this song. I also don't play it every day, like CHSIB and other songs of the album.
This is a song I have to be in the right mood for.
However brilliant lyrics AND vocals (once again), can relate to 'the story-line' very well, that must be one of the reasons for me to rate it this high.

9,5/10

I do really like this one - this should have been released as a single over here. :D

9/10

Not the best song of this album. I think it is too long. The end is good, the beginning also.

My score: 7

I like this one - I'd give it a 9/10

7.5/10

I do like this track, but there are parts of it that bug me, I'm not musical and don't understand the compleities of the construction etc just what I like. There's one part that just makes me hum the theme from "friends" and I find that puts me off rather 8)

Was not too sure about this song when I first heard it. The weak ending on the single edit did not help because that was always the last impression I had of the song. However the full version removes that problem and though this song never instantly hit me like CHSIB it has grown on me a lot over the last couple of months. So much so that I rate this as my equal favourite song on the album with the title track

9 out of 10

The last part is magnificent. The whole song is superb. what a fine, sensitive vocal performing. 9/10.

This is not a good song, it's Great!!
I think it's the best song of CHSIB, although there are many other good songs on is.

I give it a 9!

Only some Steiman-written songs are better than this one, because of their beautifull lyrics. This song has good lyrics, but not as amazing as some Steinman-song.

I was almost going to say that I like the single edit better than te album version, but I won't.
At first I thought that the second verse ("And this is what it sounds like...") should have been cut, but now it seems right. But the main point while I like the full version better, is the string section right behind the second chorus.
After that the pace keeps building up to the end, and the passion and desperation of the main character ("Did I say that?") makes the shivers run down my spine. At that point, I can't help myself but going into that trance like state, which ends when the final verse sets in...
The tempo changes make the song very dynamic, the lyrics are fab, although I'm still trying to find out what's really going on....

Again, one of the best on the album, and like Couldn't Have Said It Better, a 8.5 out of 10

Love this one too,pity it didn't get released as a single over hear.Good lyrics/music
9/10

DIST

First time I heard it it blew me away .. love the shifts in tempo .. the lyrics .. the delivery .. and the video imo captures perfectly the whirling emotions and almost angry despair conveyed in the song ..

9/10 is an over modest self-assessment Meat that doesn't do you justice here .. to use a family term .. it's AFA!!!!!

Heat totally agree with you - I honestly believe if this song was released over here, then it would go to No. 1This is my favourite record above all else on chsib 10/10

I also like this song very much, it's next to CHSIB and Testify one of my favourites on the new album, so it gets from me a 9/10.

10/10, very powerful and emotional song, love it to bits. :D

Since reading Sherries' post re. hearing car alarm on 'Did I say that' ( sorry would quote but ashamed to say don't know how :oops: ) each time I have listened to it since I have listened out for the alarm but came up with nothing. That is until today, I was in my car driving along music full blast playing 'Did I say that' and low and behold there it was what sounded like an alarm..... or was it a siren. Then it dawned on me it was a siren a police car over taking me on the way to some emergency. Silly me :oops: :lol:
Sorry Sherrie still have not heard the car alarm after all. Definately a great song though!!!!!

Terri-
At least he wasn't pulling you over! :lol: I've played the song for my husband and he doesn't hear it either. I hear it every time, even when I'm not listening for it. Maybe it's some odd frequency or something. (I seem to recall that one or two others here heard it too, so I'm not hearing things! Honest! :P
