Long list! I don’t think you should do any covers though… it should be a solid David Usher acoustic album – your songs are fantastic!

telo • January 5th, 2009 at 9:03 am

i thought st. lawrence river was already an acoustic record.. :-)…”see you fall” didn’t make it to the top ten…

Andrea • January 5th, 2009 at 9:30 am

Great results, though I’m surprised Gasoline didn’t make it higher up the list. I agree there’s no need for covers when you have so much amazing original material that we all want to hear. Looking forward to the album!

Adam • January 5th, 2009 at 10:19 am

I’m thinking a four-disc set would solve the problem and make everyone happy – I want different versions of all those songs

Brenda Lynn • January 5th, 2009 at 10:31 am

Just do what you always do, go with the flow of your own creative pattern and we will enjoy it all!

Shannon • January 5th, 2009 at 11:09 am

Despite knowing what I would like to hear, I am excited to be surprised by some choices! I would never have picked Time of our Lives to be reworked and it turned into my one of my favorite songs to hear on this last tour! :)

Veronica • January 5th, 2009 at 11:29 am

I Object! Move up Baby Skin Tattoo to the top 5, move up Message Home, and Underground! I also think it is a great idea to do a lot of songs from Hallucinations (my personal fave) but because they were more rock songs, turning them into acoustic songs would be so lovely. If God had Curves was already very acousticy!(is that a word? If it isn’t it is now, and I’m going to continue using it ;-)

I CAN’T F’N WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F/ill • January 5th, 2009 at 12:14 pm

I just put the exstended version of Hate on a DVD. It was from the much music gig. I really love the toned down version where you can reallt hear the words. Hate, Hate, Hate.

Maryse Ruest • January 5th, 2009 at 1:35 pm

Hi david,
im little bit surprise by the result to. In this album,i would like hear the song that you dont often play in your show,(like hope, trickster,souring…) and your best classic…i prefer that you dont chose the cover that you done like you have a lot a wonderful songs…like to have a live dvd…thanks!

telo • January 5th, 2009 at 2:29 pm

i’m glad to hear the reworked version of “time of our lives” glad to hear the acoustic-remix version of it…
it’s all up to you david…there are no limits

Elaine • January 5th, 2009 at 3:11 pm

I would like to hear Believe Me on this.

Elizabeth M • January 5th, 2009 at 3:24 pm

I think Theme From Cola should be on there! I also think we need a xmas album from you for next Christmas….I played White Christmas over and over again this year, we need more songs like that! :)

Perry perdue • January 5th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

St. Lawrence River is great, but it is pretty well “unplugged” to begin with. It would be nice to have previou\ly acoustic songs cut out. Besides, I’m sure there will be at least one new song on the album ;]

Amy • January 5th, 2009 at 5:20 pm

It’s SO hard to choose! Hey, here’s the idea: instead of picking songs, just get the band to start jamming, get out the phonebook and just sing what you read into the microphone. We’d still buy it, and it would save you the brainpower of having to pick what to play…

Honestly though, don’t do that :P. I can’t wait to hear it!!!

Wijdan • January 5th, 2009 at 5:54 pm

‘Angeles’ by Elliott Smith. It suits your voice.

Brenda Lynn • January 5th, 2009 at 6:33 pm

Pardon my intrusion (yet again) but it seems to me that re recording songs that haven’t run their courses yet (talking about the latest album) would be like throwing an axe to a piece of heart that have yet to be discovered as it was intended by a ton of new fans. So if I was an artist, I would let the “Wake up and say goodbye” album run it’s course before touching it again. Of course I’d love the acoustic version but not if it’s going to make us forget about the 2008 album who needs a few other singles on air for the moment.

Lala • January 5th, 2009 at 8:16 pm

wow! that is quite the list of songs, is that the complete list?!!!

its a great collection.

Another dvd would be good to have again, doesnt have to have fancy editing, just simple in its rawest form and I would be happy.

I cant wait for the acoustic, Im telling everyone!

Jordan • January 5th, 2009 at 9:12 pm

I hope Breathe makes it on there :( but it only has 13 votes….

yvette kirchgesner • January 5th, 2009 at 9:16 pm

I still Think “I’m coming Down” would sound amazing reworked acoustically. I’d also like to hear at least one cover of either “Hallelujah” (by L.C.), “I’ll Stand By You” (The Pretenders) or “Ordinary Day” (Duran Duran). Just for fun! I really enjoyed your bandmates’ country version of Loverboy’s “Working For The Weekend” :-) This acoustic album is going to be awesome no matter what. You have so many of your own songs to choose from that are already great to work off. It will be a special treat to all of your fans!

Claudia • January 5th, 2009 at 10:21 pm

No matter what songs you will pick at the end, if you re-work them all as brilliant as you did with tool, it’s going to be very awesome!! ;)

telo • January 5th, 2009 at 10:41 pm

david, how do you keep up with all of this? : – )

david usher • January 6th, 2009 at 5:20 am

tidal might be interesting, also there was a song called “if god had curves” as well

Nathalie • January 6th, 2009 at 1:38 pm

I didn’t know that we could choose covers too. So i agree with Come undone from Duran Duran. That would be a great choice.

Amanda B. • January 6th, 2009 at 4:53 pm

Totally do Hallelujah… That song kicks ass… No one put Leave it Alone:( I love love love that song… You should do that one too!

Nic • January 6th, 2009 at 6:25 pm

I’m so excited for this! But will there be as many sneak peeks into the making of this album if it is all going to be songs you’ve already done? Also, kind of off topic… when do you think the new site will be up??

Tammy • January 6th, 2009 at 7:50 pm

I don’t see ‘Black Black Heart’ on the list, do I?
I think this is a great idea for an album! I love acoustic songs! :)

Batman • January 6th, 2009 at 10:13 pm

Just gotta get the other two Moist CDs and I will have finally have heard each and every song. Thanks for using your music talent to its fullest!

Laura • January 6th, 2009 at 11:22 pm

just chiming in again to restate the awesomeness of UNDERGROUND and how much more awesome it would be if it were to show up on the CD.
Or if you just wanna perform it at your next Toronto show, that would be great too :)

Kanji • January 7th, 2009 at 3:11 am

4 disc set might be too much, but how about a 2??? Lol, I still think you should do 1 disc of newer material and 1 disc to the older stuff; moist and little songs/morning orbit. I think that would be fantastic…

Bryan M. • January 7th, 2009 at 2:10 pm

“If God Had Curves” the song?? I think I’d love to hear it!

Do what feels right, David. If re-recording St.Lawrence River acoustically when it’s already acoustic seems a bit silly… then don’t do it. Don’t get me wrong it’s a very good song, but we have the Little Songs version AND the Hallucinations live version.

As for a cover, I’m still going to say Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen.

@ElizabethLouise. TOOL = Time of Our Lives :)

repliderium.com • January 7th, 2009 at 7:40 pm

When are we getting our greedy little hands on a live CD?

aga • January 7th, 2009 at 8:18 pm

there Definitely needs to be a Live record in the (near) future!!! incredible live.

yvette kirchgesner • January 7th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

I agree with a live cd/dvd full on show. Maybe for the next “pro-jet”

Bono • January 8th, 2009 at 6:41 am

Awesome job Shannon. Interesting to see the requests layed out that way thanks for doing that. To be honest though I’m rather dissapointed with us the fans for having 8 or 9 of the top 10 choices being radio singles. C’mon guys where’s the originality here. I mean we have a chance to reqest Galaxy and Sparkle and Shine to be put on an actual album and we vote for Alone in the Universe? Black Black Heart? St. Lawrence River? Yes those are fantastic songs but I really thought the fans would’ve gone for the less obvious rather than a simple “hits” track listing. Oh well. Whatever the songs the album will be amazing. I was just hoping for a bit more orginality from us.

Kirk • January 8th, 2009 at 1:00 pm

Old Toy Trains-Nana Mouskouri…………..kidding. The list has lots of favourites on it.

Kirk • January 8th, 2009 at 1:17 pm

It’s obvious what people are asking for….David Usher-All of Me(So far)…and then All of Me Volume II 20 years down the road. Throw in a couple new songs and voilà, a hit cd. Hmm..if you did that all acoustically you should have that done by 2027 or so…as long as you don’t take time to tour. Forget that. An acoustic album with 12-13 songs will do for now. ;-)

Kirk • January 8th, 2009 at 8:47 pm

I was thinking you could do a kick ( | ) acoustic version of INXS-Elegantly Wasted….but I still would like to hear your own songs stripped down…and maybe for a twist take a couple of the slower melodies and rock the sh** out of them.

Shannon • January 8th, 2009 at 9:07 pm

@Bono – thanks! I agree about the singles though new versions of those songs may appeal to the casual fan! A mix of reworked singles and hidden gems would be ideal!

Naila • January 9th, 2009 at 12:04 am

Ohh yes… and We Are Wolves Here would be awesome… :D
Oh dear, I need to turn off my thought or I’ll just keep coming up with more.
Naila

Chris • January 9th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Would have to say Leave It Alone and Forest Fire. Would love to hear these on a new acoustic album :)

Janie • January 11th, 2009 at 1:07 am

-St. Lawrence River
-Time Of Our Lives
-The River
-And So We Run
-Blinded
-Fast car
Thanks David ! xoxox

victoria bourne • January 11th, 2009 at 9:12 am

mmmmmm, i would love to hear freaky be beautiful as an accoustic. that would be a real treat! How does that work? Are there any legal issues in re-recording moist songs that would prevent you from including them? thanks

yvette kirchgesner • January 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm

I’ve just re-visited “Liberation” and it has my vote! It would be interesting to hear it redone. “Old Toy Trains”….makes me smile :-) I’ve been hearing that sung around my house for the last six weeks!

Bryan M • January 13th, 2009 at 3:10 am

@Dragon
isnt “Trickster” acoustic anyway? ;)

but yea, i’d like to hear Trickster too!!

G • January 14th, 2009 at 1:23 am

You know here in Edmonton you did The Music live on the air at one of the local radio stations when you were in town and they played it almost as much as the cd version for a while. I think they still continue to play it once in a while. It was/is amazing. You’ve absolutely got to put The Music on the record.
And no covers, just pure undiluted David Usher!!!

vorhaben • January 15th, 2009 at 3:30 am

That is a lot of songs! and some are still missing (Sweet Electric Child… Claus :)

At least one song from the Moist days!! I have been toiling with which one if there could only be one… I can’t pick just one.

When I first looked at the list I gasped just a little when I saw ‘If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.’ The song is absolutely perfect the way it is! I can’t start that song without listening to all of it. But eventually I did consider what if… What if it was vocals, piano and keyboards only? Or maybe that and then add a cello, possibly introduced at the solo, and sad like Elgar’s Cello Concerto op.85…

Either way, thanks for the masterpiece.

Van • January 15th, 2009 at 11:35 am

OMGosh people! This shrieking love! Unless I missed it when scanning the list.

melissa • January 17th, 2009 at 11:38 pm

1) deliver me
2) and so we run
3) jesus was my girl

c • January 21st, 2009 at 4:22 am

Hello,

I am happy for an acoustic record..Could you please release some unreleased material in the future? Since we’re Canadian your music isn’t slapped all over the web and it’s hard to find out much.

I think everyone would like that, normally fans like the unreleased stuff more than the songs that make it to radio.

Thank you!

frances • January 22nd, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Hello David,
I have been thinking, as I am sure others have been, about which songs would be good candidates for your upcoming acoustic album and I have decided that the following would definitely be at the top of my list of songs to hear redone on your new piece of work:
Life of Bees-it is so melancholy that’s it’s just a virtual no brainer to do this one acoustically, Ugly is Beautiful- the way the lyrics flow- it would be beautiful to hear it done on an acoustic album, Gasoline and Tangerine are classics, Blue would also be a great choice.. good luck with the new album- I will be anxiously anticipating it’s arrival!

David P • February 16th, 2009 at 11:00 am

Hi David,

Looking forward to this acoustic album! :)

I would also like to echo other peoples requests for a uk tour, or at least 1 show in the UK; maybe in Manchester so I have a chance of seeing you live rather than just on youtube!? ;)

Hope the recording sessions are going well.
