An acoustic version of Skin or Temple of Thought alone would have made it worth buying the album for (for me that is). To get both and a new song is much more than I had hoped for. As for Signs of Life, I have no expectations, I only hope that it is mixed by Captain and not Mic Schröder, who, in my humble opinion, only succeeded in turning Kamikaze Love and The Lie enternal into songs I would not pay much attention to if I heard them on the radio (and I love both songs in their original version).

Oh, redbossfan, I totally agree with you. I hope that later we will get Signs of Life mixed by our dear Captain.

Signs of Life, this is a track I really missed ^^ Only the name sounds like something big and promising, at least to me. And it's our dear Captain's mix, awesome! I can't wait to listen to this one.

Now, sad that this song hasn't got its place on original ToT :(

Hey, maybe this is also the missing soft ballad to end the album. What say?

The ending soft ballad on ToT is Jeremiah Peacekeeper, since the Happy Song was just a "bonus". And since Carnival of Rust and Temple of Thought were catchy rock songs, I hope Signs of Life will be too... Only that'll do justice :)

Nope, I'll just wait for the Glen Hansard's debut solo album :D

I just hope the song will be somehow legally downloadable...

Just found a 30-second-sample of "Signs of Life" (and the acoustic Versions of ToT ans Skin) on amazon.de - definitely a rock song :)

http://www.amazon.de/Temple-of-Thought-Bonus-Edition/dp/B008FL3A3A/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340895507&sr=301-1

Sounds great, why is it so long 'til July 20th :(

Sounds really nice and powerful, I am impressed!

By the way did you realize that songs are totally similar with the usual ones? After the radio version of Kamikaze Love I thought that the German release will be different in compare with original.

She stands by the corner shout (?) at the edge of the rainbow
She thought (?) a solution someone painted on the wall

He writes in this daily (?) journal
Eyes blindfolding (?) gathering peaces
No direction to go where

I'm not sure, but I'd say:

She stands by the corner shop at the edge of the rainbow
She thought of a solution someone painted on the wall

He writes in his daily journal
Eyes blindfolding, gathering pieces
No direction to go where

Surely pieces, it’s my mistake. :)

Shop and his also seem to be true. But I don’t here "of a solution".

No idea, but I think there's something more than only "a". And "of" would be like grammatical correct. I'm not sure :?
And in the last line, where the song is cut, I don't think the last word is "where", becuse it ends like in the middle of word and it could be also something different, I don't hear the "r" letter there, hmm, we will find out later :wink:

Anyway, I need to say that I feel this song is going to be beautiful like the mentioned rainbow, full of colors and somehow bittersweet at the same time :) I'm hoping for that.

The beginning of the snippet of Signs of Life reminds me of a song from Twilight Theater but I can't make out which song it is. Maybe it's War, I don't know.

I wanna hear the entire song <3

Actually I thought that, too. But I'm glad it's not different to the original. :oops:

I listened to the snippets of the 3 new ones and wow they are all beautiful, but omg, ToT....just those few seconds took my breath away. The guitar play alone on that is priceless.

I really love the sounds of these songs from the 30 second clips - Signs of Life is particullary beautiful. :) Can't wait for the release.

Also in reply to Mahoniara & Sir I think the line is:

She thought the solution someone painted on the wall

'The' instead of 'of a'. Like it means that there's a rainbow painted on the wall near the corner shop and she thought of the solution to something whilst looking at it. Also I think it could be 'when' and not 'where' at the end when it cuts off.

It seems like the narrative of the song may be told through alternating male and female character paragraphs. I'd love to see where the rest of the song goes. :)

Maybe it's "Dreaming Wide Awake" after the drum/guitar intro? I sure get that impression. :)

it must be said that having just quickly gone to Amazon, that acoustic version of Temple Of Thoughts is pretty amazing. That will be a happy digital purchase (I have the cd already)
