View Full Version : Eagles Song Survivor: One of These Nights

Time for our next Song Survivor! Our album this time will be One of These Nights. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview (https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6551&postcount=7)

I'm going to list the songs of One of These Nights here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

We have finished the game. Thanks for playing!

The winner of the One of These Nights Survivor Game is:
Lyin' Eyes

Songs voted off:
Journey of the Sorcerer 06/16
Visions 06/18
I Wish You Peace 06/20
Too Many Hands 06/22
Hollywood Waltz 06/24
After the Thrill Is Gone 6/26
Take It to the Limit 6/28
One of These Nights 6/30

Game Over!

For this first round, I'm going to go with Journey of the Sorcerer. It's a great song, but it doesn't really seem to belong on OOTN.

I cast my vote for Journey of the Sorcerer.

Freypower

Soda, you read my mind! I was just getting ready for my next Survivor fix!

This will be relatively easy. OOTN is my least favourite Eagles album. So I start with what I consider the worst song they ever released.

I cast my vote for I Wish You Peace.

It does seem to be an unusual fit on this particular album

glenneaglesfan
06-15-2007, 12:58 PM
Great idea, Soda, especially after the discussion in the Bernie songs thread. Once again it's a chance to listen to the album in full again. As I have said elsewhere, I find IWYP rather bland, and an anticlimax tagged on at the end, so

I cast my vote for I Wish You Peace

Once again, IMO, none of the songs on OOTN are bad, but I do think this is one of the band's most uneven albums. There are 3 or 4 exceptional songs on the album, and then there are 3 or 4 average songs. Although I enjoy listening to it, JOTS is probably my least favorite and is the song I expected to be voted off first. But since I don't have strong feelings about the outcome of this first round, I will look toward the future.

I cast my vote for Visions.

Welcome to the Border, Joefan! It's great to have another fan of Mr Walsh here. I hope you will enjoy posting!
I like JOTS as well - it stands as an interesting composition; however I'm not sure if it really is in keeping with the Eagles' sound, and there are other tracks on the album that I like better. I have been playing it in my car since this round of Song Survivor started.

I actually wanted I Wish You Peace to be eliminated before Visions because although Visions isn't one of my favorites, I do think the music and fine guitar work rocks. It is time for I Wish You Peace to go and it looks like it will. Therefore, I will again use my vote for future rounds....

I cast my vote for Too Many Hands.

I completely agree, Soda. Hollywood Waltz is a very pale copy of Saturday Night. While it foreshadows the themes of the next album to some extent, musically it doesn't work.

I know all the songs that are remaining very well, though, and it certainly is a tough choice for me. :(

However, as tough as it is, I know which song I would like to win, so I cast my vote for "Take It To The Limit". (Sorry, Randy, I love your vocal, but it's nothing personal... :wink: )

Wow! Take It To the Limit does not deserve this fate. It is a great song. But the problem is that all three of these songs are great songs. However, it does not appear that TITTL will be able to survive this round. Therefore, if you want Lyin' Eyes to win, it is time to start protecting it. Therefore, I urge you to vote like me... :wink:

I cast my vote for One of These Nights.

Thanks for your one vote, Maleah. :D :D

Both of these are very important songs for the band and I love them both. However for me it has to be Lyin' Eyes, a song I have now been listening to for 32 years and I'm still not tired of it. Also once you have a 'special moment' that goes with it it becomes even more important.

And don't forget the Grammy. Can I say it was deserved. 8)

While I am very bitter over the fact that Lyin' Eyes caused the demise of my all-time favorite Eagles song, TITTL, I have to put that aside. It is, IMHO, the second best song, and hence my final vote is....

Lyin' Eyes for the win!

I do hate to see TITTL go. It is a gorgeous song and Randy's Live version just blows me away.

Lyin' Eyes is equally gorgeous and Glenn's voice in it is perfect. It is so very "country rock". I love it, too.

But...it just doesn't "get me" as much as ONE OF THESE NIGHTS with Don's smoky, aching voice! :heart: :heart: That little air intake he does? :blush:

DON FANS UNITE!

I VOTE FOR "LYIN' EYES" TO WIN!!!

Note: Yes, I do love "One Of These Nights" - in fact, it is one of my favourite Eagles songs (I hear you, Brooke, about Don's "smoky, aching voice" :heart:), but when it came down to the crunch, I just had to vote for my Sugar's :heart: smooth, gentle, passionate country vocal. Oh, Glenn :heart:, when I finally meet you (and I will! :wink: ), my eyes will never lie to you, Sugar!

Sorry, I got a little distracted there for a moment... :blush: Yes, I was talking about the merits of "Lyin' Eyes". The lyrics are genius, as are the harmonies and instrumentation. The guitar work (credits to Bernie Leadon!) is brilliant - the riff, which is the intro and punctuates each chorus, is really unique and memorable. WOW, what a classic. This song has been a stalwart in my band's repertoire for a long time now. And it ALWAYS goes down well! :D (I ain't Glenn :heart: Frey, but I do try!)

A quick vote before I leave for the weekend - I can't miss this again :?

As much as I love OOTN - it sure is one of my favourite songs ever - I have to go with Lyin' Eyes now. I LOVE all the live recordings, and it was a treat to see Glenn sing all these verses, whenever I got to go to an Eagles concert :D

So my vote goes for Lyin' Eyes.

OK Picture this. Its 1975. A group of young rockstars are hanging out in the Troubador Bar chatting, having a few beers eyeing the 'talent' and generally having a good time. In comes a young pretty girl on the arm of a much older man. As soon as the man is distracted, the young lady takes a look around to see what menfolk are there, prompting the more outspoken of those lads to comment 'Look at her Lyin' Eyes' Thus spawned one of the greatest and best songs ever written (IMHO anyway).

So Plaintiff, if you're out there please take note:

I cast my vote for LYIN' EYES to win :D :D :
This has been a great 'Survivor'

Well, this has certainly been an entertaining Survivor game. I actually wanted and thought that Take It To the Limit would win this and Lyin' Eyes would come in 2nd. But that shows what I know. Even though I think TITTL and OOTN are both great songs, to be honest, I think Lyin' Eyes deserves the win here. IMHO, it is the best song on the album. It has everything - exceptional lyrics, melodies, and harmonies along with Glenn's gorgeous delivery (not to mention a Grammy, as FP noted). Therefore, with all due respect to the fabulous TITTL and the awesome OOTN ...

I cast my vote for Lyin' Eyes.

I ADORE One of These Nights--the lyrics are gorgeous, Don's voice is so incredibly sexy--and it is the name of the album, for God's sake! I really thought it would win! However, I see my one vote wouldn't have swayed the final outcome anyway.

Congratulations to Lyin' Eyes.

I thought this was a really interesting Survivor game because this is the first time where strategic voting may have affected the final outcome of the game. I actually never thought One of These Nights would win. I always thought the actual battle was between Take It To the Limit and Lyin' Eyes. I think the reason the two songs were getting so many votes is that the voters were trying to eliminate one of them so that the other would win. As I said earlier, I would have voted for Take It To the Limit to win if it had made it to the final round. I'm interested in knowing if the final round had been between Take It To the Limit and Lyin' Eyes, what would you have voted for? The same question if the final round had been between Take It To the Limit and One of These Nights? I'm hoping everyone that has been playing the game will respond to this so we'll really be able to see what the results would have been. :)

Congratulations to Lyin' Eyes!

Thank you, dreamer, for hosting this in Soda's absence, and for your analysis. It has been the most interesting Survivor game to date, and a lot of fun. I have especially enjoyed revisiting the less well known tracks. The last two rounds were fascinating. These three tracks are among the strongest that the Eagles have written, and each of them deserved to win. I was surprised at how many people were voting against Lyin' Eyes in the earlier rounds, and although it's my favourite I was expecting it to go out. TITTL would have been my second choice, if it had come to a head to head with OOTN, but as I have already said - they are all masterpieces.

To be honest I didn't expect to see that song as the winner. :wink:
I don't say LE doesn't deserve it. It's a worthy winner, no doubt.
Someway I thought TITTL would win.

If it had been Take it to the Limit vs. Lyin' Eyes; I would have voted for Lyin' Eyes. But if it had been Take it to the Limit vs. One of these Nights I would have voted for Take it to the Limit to win.

Take it to the Limit is my second fav song on the album and yes dreamer you are right, the reason for voting it out (in my case) was to protect Lyin' Eyes. :)

Congratulations to Lyin' Eyes! A truly wonderful song! And I think any of the last three could have won.

I am still surprised though. I guess everyone else's strategic voting earlier threw me way off! :? Shows how good I would be if I were on the island! lol

As for TITTL vs LE, I would vote for LE.

TITTL vs OOTN, I would still vote for OOTN. Glenn's favorite (as he said in the VBO booklet.) OOTN just gets me! :D

Now I have a dilemma. A mouth-watering Lyin' Eyes screenshot history to start, while I'm still posting those other photos (you know the ones). How to strike a balance? I guess I could finish posting Starkey & then start Lyin' Eyes.... 8)

My response to Dreamer's request is quite simple: whatever the scenario, I would EITHER WAY have voted for "Lying Eyes". I just love the song! Yes, maybe Glenn :heart: being the lead vocalist has something to do with it (as difficult as the choice is), but I really do love the song.

Thanks to everyone for your responses to my questions. Since not everyone who was voting in the game has responded and the vote is so close, it's hard to draw any conclusions about what the results would have been if the matchup in the final round had been different. It seems the voting would have been close though. I guess the bottom line is that these are all great songs and all three of them deserve to be called winners! :D

In honor of its win, I've put a video of Lyin' Eyes from 1976 on the Featured Multimedia page (http://www.glennfreyonline.com/downloads/multimedia.htm).

Life as some of you know has taken over in a big way this week so its only now that I'm getting to respond to your question Dreamer.
From the start I felt the real competition would start when we got down to the final three (or maybe 4) songs. I would have voted for Lying eyes regardless of what it would have come up against in the final round. It comes down to the music, the lyrics and the sentiment, and the way the three are woven together. But mostly it comes down to the way Glenn :heart: :inlove: :iloveyou: sings it. When I hear him sing it my heart just melts and I fall in love with him all over again and so many times when I'm listening to it as I drive (which is usually every day) I just wish I'm the girl driving out to meet him, and 'rushing into his arms' :depressed:
OK I'm rambling. Sorry!
If it had been between TITTL or OOTN, I'd have gone for OOTN. I think although it would have been a harder choice for me. Still it creates an atmosphere and a sound which is quite unique, and is also one of Glenn' :heart: s favourites (as has been noted).

For the record my 6 year old daughter would have gone for TITTL. She loves watching Glenn :heart: sing it on F1. I've tried to explain that its a different guy singing it on the cd but it doesn't register, although she can distinguish between Glenn :heart:, Don and Tim singing when she hears them on the ipod. Everytime I take out my credit card to use it she says 'Take it to the Limit Mammy'....Awwwwwwwwww!
