    Actually... I am a little bummed about the fade out. Does the song remind anyone else of unemployable?

    The jury's still out. It'll probably grow on me, but sounded a little like Eddie Vedder And The News the first time around...

    A little repetitive though. This, along with Got Some, tells me Backspacer is going to BLOW....our minds away!!!
    I wish it could've been longer. The fade out seems odd.

    They seriously could have made this song a million times better. Those claps in the background are flat out cheesy. I know for a fact it will kick ass live, since that riff is so good, but the studio version is corny as hell.

    I hear a little Rush, Red Barchetta in that opening riff.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Amazing. This was just what I was hoping for! And the production sounds great.

    can anybody decipher all of those lyrics? some of are hard to understand (what else is new) but i can never fully appreciate a song until i know all of the lyrics

    I like the song, parts are kind of repetitive though.

    I think corny is a good word choice for what I just heard. Has that sort of wishlist thing going on in the lyrics, but something is just cheesy with it. I can hear potential for this being a really fun live song though.

    Now that's funny! Eddie Vedder and the News! :D

    What are the lyrics? Here's what I got so far...

    When something’s dark
    Let me shed a little light on it
    When something’s cold
    Let me put a little fire on it
    If something’s old
    I wanna put a bit of shine on it
    When something’s good
    I wanna fight to get it back again

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah… If I could get it back again… yeah yeah yeah yeah

    When something’s broke
    I wanna put a bit of fixin’ on it
    When something’s bored
    I wanna put a little excited on it
    If something’s low
    I wanna put a little high on it
    If something’s lost
    I wanna fight to get it back again

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah… If I could get it back again… yeah yeah yeah yeah

    When signals cross
    I wanna put a little straight on it
    If there’s no love
    I wanna try to love again

    I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side, I’ll find us a way to make light
    I’ll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing, ??? ??? :?:

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah… If I could get it back again… yeah yeah yeah yeah

    not bad, not great and first couple of listens definitely had some cringe factor to them (hope that wears off), could be great live. Just didn't blow my sox off.

    Hope they are keeping up the recent tradition of not releasing the best song as a single
    Im not supersticious, Im just a littlesticious.

    Unemployable is way better in my opinion. I don't mind the fixer. But the radio releases for me are seldom the songs I would choose. Looking forward to the rest of the album. I should also give it about 4 more listens. I'm only 3 in.

    i read the previous posts on here while myspace was loading (bad internet connection) and read you called it "poppy" so was that a compliment/criticism or just sth. you noticed?
    the song sounds kinda familiar, is there one out that sounds a little like it ,or is PJ just the best band in the world with the best songs that you can immediately connect to?
  • PldgMyGrievancePldgMyGrievance Posts: 279
    What weird instrument is that at 1:28 right before the bridge. Its so strange for a PJ song. Its the poppiest part of this poppy PJ song. So weird.

    lol - if we are comparing this to pearl jam and pearl jam only - it's terrible. unemployable sounds about right.

    i dont know how they release this stuff with a straight face.

    I agree. Corny is what came to mind first..probably while I cringed. I will say that I love the riff, and as I read on the thread, I'm sure it'll be much better live. I much prefer "Got Some."
  • cokelogiccokelogic Posts: 139
    It's very refreshing. I don't think we've heard this big a change from the band since Vitalogy to No Code. And is it just me or does the band seems happier because of the lighter sound?
