TOPIC: Can someone See Me Through?
Posted  Friday, September 24, 2004 at 12:37 AM
Post 1 of 17
Hey all. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are really two versions of the "Million Ways" single, one that includes "See You Through" and one that includes "Someway, Somehow"? Amazon used to list See You Through as the b-side, now they list Someway Somehow. Does anyone know if this is correct, and if so, does anyone know where I could order a verion with See You Through? The new album has me thirsting for their recent take on one of their most classic "classics."

Thanks,

Will

I haven't heard about Someway Somehow being put on Million Ways... the version I have has See You Thru. ITs the same cover art and everything, so I highly doubt the SWSH was put on there... but of course stranger things have happened. MAybe someone should call Meeks... anyone? anyone? Carrrrrrl? Carrrrrrrrrrrrrl?

I've got the Million Ways Single with this tracklist:

1. There's A Million Ways To Sing The Blues
2. See You Through
3. Million Ways video

And the Way It's Meant To Be Single like this:

1. The Way It's Meant To Be
2. Someway, Somehow
3. Buffalohead


Maybe Amazon just got them mixed up a bit.

I tried calling myself, but I was a complete asshole and said never to fucking call here again. I hung up the phone, walked about three feet to look at the CD single and 7-inch to check. It is only See You Through on the Million Ways singles. Someway, Somehow is on the Meant To Be singles, along with the Buffalohead.

Any thoughts as to why See You Through, My Dark Room, and Kari-Anne weren't on
Exhibit A?
Those are three of my favorite Features songs.

If you find it without having to pull some strings to get it, let me know.

I'm satisfied with the answer and all, and I'll order the single at the soonest possible convenience, but this very site still lists, in the discography, "Someway, Somehow" as the "Million Ways" b-side.

Just figured that ought be noted.

This improper use of English grammar bugs me slightly too. No, not really. Can you imagine how silly the song would sound if they sang, "There are a million ways to sing the blue-ue-ues...." It would sound silly.

Sometimes rules are made to be broken, I guess. Screw subject-verb agreement. Screw it up its stinking arse.

It doesn't bug me when I'm listening to the song. It does bug me when I see it in print.

Yeah, I agree. It's a lot more easy to overlook when it's sung.

Perhaps it should have been titled "A Million Ways to Sing the Blues" or "Million Ways to Sing the Blues." Oh well. Too late now.

I know! See You Through is probably my fave. I was 100% about the tracks selected either but I love it still and I think I like the re-working of "blow it out" out of all the new versions.
