"Wish For": the best joy electric song you never heard.

[tighb]

Hey folks,
This comes from a concert a decade or so ago...Tomfest 2002 I believe. I was VERY disappointed it wasn't included on The Tick Tock Treasury, though it bears a superficial resemblance to a couple other songs from that album. The title is pure conjecture on my part, if anyone knows anything else about it please let me know!

I did a little basic noise reduction on the audio, there's burnt-in distortion, I don't think it could really be cleaned up much more...

Anyway, enjoy!

This is really cool, thanks!

I'm 99% sure that this is the unreleased song, "Wish For", which dates from that time. Thanks!

I can kinda hear a "Wish For" in there, though the words aren't too clear. Where did you hear the title? I assume there were other performances of it back around when it was written?

It's a shame it was never released, I really do think it's up there with the best stuff he's written.

[Fred]

There are not a lot of unreleased JE songs (usually if Ronnie gets to the point where he's playing it live, it eventually appears) and "Wish For" is the only one that I know of from that time period. Even after 4T came out, it was supposed to appear on the Friend of Mannequin EP, along with Adam's Song, but never materialized.

All the other non-released mixes I know about are the concert mixes of some early songs The Girl From Rosewood Lane(at least 2) Candy Cane Carriage, Sugar Rush, Hansel, Drum Machine Joy...oh, I guess the version of Sorcery that comes from the 1998 tomfest video. A couple of which you can sort-of-hear on the picture book DVD but are otherwise unreleased.

Does someone have the This Time mp3 track they could upload for me? I have been unable to find it anywhere on the web for download anymore.

[Rogue]

Thanks for sharing that! I wonder if he'd consider releasing a finished version as an mp3-only download. Or a hidden track on whatever CD he releases next.

There sure are a lot of people screaming in the background, lol...

I think I asked Ronnie after a concert once about the live versions of the songs, if they'd be released sometime. He said no, that they were something special for the live shows, not intended to be released as remixes. Which is too bad, because a lot of them are so interesting (and some are better than the album / EP releases).

The Tomfest crowds were very large and enthusiastic. You should have heard them all shouting WITH! MY! MONOSYNTH!

Haha

You're from way back in the day, right? Maybe also on the Echoing Green forum? It's the "Tigh," looks very familiar.

I am from back in the day. I believe I'm on the 'forum credits' from Echoing Green's Music From The Ocean Picture.

[Rogue]

Aha! I just pulled out my CD... wow, I haven't seen those names in ages. It's too bad the EG forum died off over time. Was a great group of people.

Speaking of Tick Tock, I wish he had kept the synth line you hear in Picturebook DVD version of "(Design) The Blueprints for Joy". I was bummed when that synth line didn't show up on the record!

[jjmini]

can anyone reupload this song since megaupload is dead? I don't even know how I missed this topic originally

[david]

Yeah, does anyone have this song? I missed out the first time around? Maybe someone can PM me and send the song over email or something?

[Nikmis]
