It's very clearly "waaaaaaaaaaaaay".

However, I have to admit that when I slowed that last bit down, it did start to sound like "whyyyyyyyyyy". I'm pretty sure this is… compensation, for lack of a better term (it's a long note, from what I gather, NF has no vocal training, and I once sang a very very long "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack" as "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-*partial breath*-haaaaaaaaaaaaack"), and partially the "accent" of the character too — what NF is doing to his voice to make himself sound suave and fuller.

Anyway, back on topic, this is what I named all the tracks I split up today:

Well, now that we finally have the real titles, let's see how I did! (real titles in bold)

My Freeze Ray - My Freeze Ray

Bad Horse – Bad Horse Chorus

Lend a Hand – Caring Hands

A Man's Gotta Do – A Man's Gotta Do

On the Rise – My Eyes

Bad Horse (Reprise) -Bad Horse Chorus (Reprise)

Penny's Song – Penny's Song

Brand New Day – Brand New Day

Everyone's a Hero (In Their Own Way) – Everyone's a Hero

Slipping – Slipping

Everything You Ever – Everything You Ever

So, that's 6 exactly right, including Penny's Song, which just amazes me! I'm also glad I got Everything You Ever I really can't believe On the Rise is actually called My Eyes though… On the Rise just seems like such a better title. At any rate, the soundtrack is awesome. A lot of little differences and the the quality is superb!

I felt the same way, until I gave it a little thought and came up with this: that song is about two very differant, but intertwined characters' very differant perspective on things. About how each character saw things through their eyes.

Horrible: How the world's filled with filth and lies….

Penny: How the world's finally turning wise…

..and so on. The song's all about how the same things can look totally differant, depending on perspective. Hence: My Eyes

I understand where you are coming from with the whole perspective thingy, and I'm sure that's what Joss was thinking when he wrote it too, but I have to agree with ArsNovaChris…. "On the Rise" just sounds better. It works on a visceral level; when you hear "On the Rise", it's emotionally similar to the feeling you (or at least I) get when the song is playing, while "My Eyes" sounds a lot more cerebral and less passionate. To me at least.

Yeah, I totally get that. It is a lackluster sounding title comapred to "On the Rise". I watched the thing again this morning, and listening to "My Eyes" it occured to me that another good title would have been "Everybody's Heart". Not as visceral as "On the Rise" or as cerebral as "My Eyes", I think it works a little on both levels. And its the only other line they both come together on.
