@HaleyReinhart I got three people to buy Listen Up! today and they already told me that they loved Wasted Tears & Free

I've heard a couple of people mention they thought Wasted Tears was a "throwaway song" from Listen Up! I love it, and I think Haley enjoys performing it too - my favorite vid:
My 2nd fave:

I think "Wasted Tears" sounds like a classic from the past.
If someone didn't know it was an original they might think she was singing a cover.
RE: "Wasted Tears" - EliTeHalien - 09-11-2012
I love Waster Tears. I was actually hoping that if Haley got 4th single that it should be the studio of Wasted Tears. And to think that it was my least favorite of the 3 original originals: HTGR, NTYH and WT.
RE: "Wasted Tears" - Tom22 - 09-11-2012
Its interesting
I like the song well enough, but I don't think she's done her own song justice yet.
I find it a bit grating, but I think it could be so much more. I could say the same about Free at first, but i think the accoustic versions of that song with John Notto on The view, and even better at that restauraunt finally got Free to the point it was really enjoyable to me.
But its a matter of personal taste I suppose.. I found miguels favorite to be one of myEdit (less..way better than first ones with original keyboardist) favorite. I think I really like the up-beat emphasized more and want even that to emphasize the 2 and 4 beats still a bit more.
In addition, I think Haley can bring much more of her sweeter sound to this song rather than blaring a squeak sound on "wasted , wasted" parts.
The notto version wasn't bad but it still had too much consitent back round for me (probaly unavoidable with just a guitar, but I think ever there there is some room for artistic interpretation where haley would lead the song a abit differently.
I think she's going the right direction (using the sweeter parts of her voice more) in the performance Buzz captured (but the background sound quaulity wasn't as great as it could be..Buzz figured that out by lola palooza (and I'd have done even worse by far with a recorder)
this one from two days ago was moving some ways I liked .. with a lighter accompanyment from Dad Reinhart and (also) with a sweeter sound from Haley
Still, I think it can groove in some more intersting ways
three ideas to stretch it different wayss:
I'd like to see this maybe performed with a stand up bass and a just a snare and a high hat with a brush...
or maybe even something way off.. a marimba and a rhumba beat? (that would be waaaay offf a different direction)... but I thing some experimentation could push this song to make it all that ican be.
Here is another waaay off kinda sound that could be brought to it.
It takes some imagination to know where I'm going with this and to make Wasted tears fit this kinda grove would take some major changes to the song in some ways but anyway... some people might know where i'm going with it.

Buzz was at Lolla?
I think this is one the better performance audio of WT, video is lacking, but KCDA did a bang up job cleaning up the audio...also these sessions was the first time I really 'dug' what Keith was doing on the keys (especially on "Now That You're Here" )

Wasted Tears is my favorite in the album. It's meaty and it sounds very Ella Fitzgerald.
RE: "Wasted Tears" - Haleylvr4evr - 09-11-2012
It's one of my favorites! I cant help dancing and being happy when I hear it!
RE: "Wasted Tears" - Halienfan0 - 09-11-2012
One of my favorites from the CD. Would make a great hit on radio. I love "Hit the Ground Running", especially the beginning part....it is so Amy Winehouse sounding.
