Phillip Phillips new single “Where We Came From” is now available for download! At iTunes, you can pre-order Phillip’s debut album, World From the Side of the Moon and/or download the single. Listen to snippets from the album HERE.

I downloaded it. I’m not sure if I would have picked this as the single? But, what do I know? One thing–this song isn’t the typical generic Idol fare. I can here this alongside “Home” on Adult Alternative radio. Hopefully UMG will push the single hard to radio.

Those dreaded “oooohs” Phillip said he didn’t much care for? There here.

    I choose #1 for $100, Alex. lol  OK, but I’m sure that I’ve seen cases where the “instant gratification” song is a track that isn’t available for sale until album release, so it can happen, even if it doesn’t always happen.  :)

    “I dunno about anybody else, but I found P2′s career much simpler to follow once I started treating his statements as rough approximations of possible alternative realities, rather than as anything I was supposed to interpret literally. If I were a grad student, I’d be seriously contemplating writing a scholarly article along the lines of “Phillip Phillips and Schrödinger’s Cat: The Interview as Magical Realist
    Encounter.”"

    Alternative realities? Like Bizarro world? I think that you may be right. lol

    ETA: “Schrödinger’s cat” – had to look this up. Wut? I’ll stick to Superman comics for my image of an alternative reality. lol

    Songwriters don’t necessarily do the arrangements. The (non songwriter) artist could come up with his own arrangement (after hearing a demo, for example), the producer could arrange it, they could hire an arranger to come in and do it. Or one (or more) of the people who wrote the song could do the arrangement. Unless Phillip or Jon Green tells us, we really have no idea who is responsible for the song’s arrangement.

    Yep, girlygirltoo. That’s what I said.

    “Songwriters do “Words & Music” – unless they are not songwriters, but lyricists, (Only words) or composers (Only music). So, while it’s not possible to know who wrote what, specifically, without being told - the melody for the verse and the chorus both came from the songwriters – whoever they were. 

    The arrangement, instrument choices, tempo, etc, that could have come from the Producer – or from a mutual decision…maybe in some future interview, fans will find out.”

    You’re right, it’s not a free download. You either buy it separately, or you get it by pre-ordering the album, but either way you get charged the price for a single, and the amount goes towards the purchase of the album for those who pre-ordered it.

    oh oops, well ignore my repetitious comment then :)

     because we know from the snippets it’s one of the worst tracks on the album

    Having heard the whole song, I don’t think it is one of the worst tracks at all.  It sounds to be a reasonably good album track, the only question is whether it can make a good single.  My personal opinion is perhaps not, but there are many hit songs which I never thought would make good singles, so who knows.

    It is one of the best songs on PP`s album. I enjoy its every part, the melody, the lyrics, the beginning, the ending, and of course PP`s singing.

    Not necessarily. I have seen the exact same situation with other tracks/albums on iTunes, and they were also available from Amazon in the same way, and they were never released as single (defined as a song sent and pushed to radio).

    But as a buzz single it works for me.
    I am not a fan, not even a fan of Home but I quite like it and it is getting me interested in the album.
