    I heard the song this morning and it put a big dopey smile on my face. It's got a lot of heart, and it's a tweaky enough tune to earn repeated listens. We all know the album will also have a good dose of slammin rock tunes with searing Mike solos and Ed has surely found a few things to get pissed off about. The song is for the radio, for the world to hear.

    It sounds like it stems from the same vein that gave life to Parachutes and Unemployable, and I think would have actually fit perfectly in between those two songs on the album.
  • I am starting to warm up to it. It kind of reminds me of U in it's simplicity. I was cleaning my bathroom and played the song on repeat for a few listens. I think that's the key to enjoying it,be active while it's on. I wasn't too hot on it while sitting on my ass in front of the computer, but it sounded great while I was cleaning out my sink!

    It sounds like 60's music

    I love it

    i listened to it once, also liked got some

    both good songs+

    but i'm sheep, cause i like just about every song on every cd by this band

    personally i just cant bring myself to repeated listens of less than perfect digital downloads by artists that i really love. i need to hold the actual cd...cause it just doesn't feel right listening with out it

    so i'm back to blackout mode for now

    I got an e-mail from santos saying that I have to unlisten to the song because I was caught refreshing the webpage and heard it before 12:00. if they catch me again, I have to unlisten to their entire catalogue..

    I like this song more than I do the "Got Some". I hope the loud Eddie in my car brings "Got Some" to my liking. Hearing it on Connan was good, but I know when I hear the whole line up I will probably find a place in my heart for it. I remember when Vitalogy came out I was questioning is this really the road my favorite band is going down. I absolutely love Vitalogy now. I hope we all understand that OUR BAND PJ has made some music decisions that have confused us but when we all start listening and get passed the hype, we start appreciating the true song. I love The fixer cause it screams the summer of 09'. We need to want to fix this world and economy and I think Ed is suggesting we get excited for the future and what it has to offer. Fix it DO NOT GIVE UP. Thanks PJ, and I can not wait to see you in Seattle.

    awesome song!
    Does anyone else notice how the music sounds similar to DMB's "Funny The Way It Is" at a couple parts?? I keep hearing that in the song, just interesting.

    can't wait to get the vinyl of this!

    Maybe I'm just being a sappy, wide-eyed fan, but I really enjoyed "The Fixer." It seems like there's a lot of hope packed into that little song. I've heard some comments about it being vague, but I think that's part of it's intended charm. When I first heard the song title, I remember wondering who or what "The Fixer" was going to represent; perhaps it would be a nod to President Obama, or maybe "The Fixer" would turn out to be a fictitous character. Now that I've heard the song, I'm of the opinion that "The Fixer" could be you, or me, or anybody who genuinely tries to make things better.

    it's in the cassette deck on the main PJ page, unless you are talking about that player not working....
  • That song has "hit" written all over it...love it!

    Here it comes again....... our local radio station has had a field day playing it just about every hour. I've heard it 7 times now. My children's opinions - daughter no. 1 "it's not bad", daughter no. 2 "it's unconventional, different" son - danced and jumped around the room (he's 10) :lol: . I think it's the sort of song that should be a hit, pretty commercial, sounds like them. Like it, but dont want it to be bashed to death on the radio. Yeah, it's good!
