I really liked the verses but the chorus just seems lazy to me.

Felt the same way about the chorus, I like the rest of the song. Hopefully it will sound better on the record. Hope Sirens is the next single. Would be cool if it is out nest week, a month before the first show.
define "whole".... :corn:
DEGENERATE FUK
This place is dead
"THERE ARE NO CLIQUES, ONLY THOSE WHO DON'T JOIN THE FUN" - Empty circa 2015
"Kfsbho&$thncds" - F Me In the Brain - circa 2015
Maybe the album version will kick ass, but didn't really blow me away at Wrigley, like I hoped it would.
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Yep, the chorus is terrible.
"Lightning boooooooooolt...light-ning booooollllllt" :fp:

I don't think the chorus needs to be anything else in my opinion. The verse building up to it was poetic enough, it's not like Eddie couldn't have come up with something other than just, "Lightning Bolt," i'm sure he could have.
Sometimes it's just as simple as expressing someone in two powerful words, "Lightning Bolt!"
And to be fair, it is one of the pop songs to the album so i wasn't expecting it to cover "Black" territory. But hey, that's just what i think. Who knows what was going through Eddie's mind when writing the lyrics
I think Lightning Bolt is the best example of Pearl Jam meeting pop and am very excited to hear the studio version.
Sirens will be amazing too!
Eyes are closed,.. You cannot know.
But his heart don't seem to roam.
"I, oh, I, oh, I'm still a-live."
"Why go home? Why go home? Why go home?"
"Don't go on me. Don't go on me. Don't go on me."
"(Insert however you would spell out the chorus to Oceans here)"
Etc, etc, etc
In other words: I think you're overthinking this one. Ed has been writing simple choruses to great, great songs for a long time.
for the least they could possibly do
I don't think it was so much the words used, but the way Ed sang it. At least for me that is what it was. But that could have just been since it was the first time played.
And also: Whatever you think the lyrics are to the chorus of Given to Fly.
for the least they could possibly do
True, and I figured I'd get nailed on that, but NAIS is a slow burner so it's gonna be longer and I think it would be a fairly long song with or without the lead breaks. There's obviously plenty of guitar, but it's not carried by the solo like a few of the reports on Sirens seem to claim.
Also, I think PJ was still in the "we don't care how our singles do" stage around Binaural and since S/T they've seemed to make more of an effort to pick catchier numbers for singles.
Sorry there have been and still is waayyyyy too many rumor starters and "sources" about this and that about this band for so long I just don't buy into any of it anymore.
My sister's husband's cousin knew this guy who had a girlfriend that has a best friend who once bumped in the engineer of Sound Garden who said talk to the security guard and he mentioned the new B-Side of Avocado was this song called "Whatchamacallit"....Man were they wrong!!
As for lighting bolt, I am really starting to like it the more I listen to it. At first I was definitely in the weak chorus group but as I said I am starting to like it a lot! I can feel it being a great album track and getting better live the more they play it. Much like GTF was to me. Anyway, that's just me...
When i heard Sirens i immediately thought that this could be a radio hit. For me this was maybe the most obvious single of the whole album. As i said before i did not like the song on first listen but was sure it would be a hit. I really thought that this could be the biggest commercial hit of PJ ever! So i was not into the song but still kinda pleased cause i think PJ deserves a hit so people stop asking me if this band still exists

And there's no crazy chain, like her brothers cousins best friend or anything. It's very very direct. Trying to protect my sources that's all, by not spilling all the beans.
