    I love it! Backspacer gonna go down as one of PJ's best!

    Yeah I been dreaming of getting along –
    Now I’m awake, dreaming keep it on keeping on
    I catch a break, then a punch to the head
    I smile big with a toothless grin.

    Supersonic gone & took my soul
    I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
    Supersonic, truth be told
    I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go.

    –

    Yeh I been thinking, I already know
    Nothing bout nothing, or so I have been told yeh
    I’m not the paper. I’m more like the fold
    Cut the crease & put the shit in the whole yeh

    Supersonic gone & took my soul
    I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yet
    Supersonic – truth be told
    I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go –

    –

    Supersonic gotta feel it now
    I need to hear it, Neet to feel it loud yeh –

    Supersonic , truth be told
    I wanna live my life with the volume full.

    Only heard it twice now. What a great rocker!!! Pumped is how I felt after hearing this (three times now!!)

    Punk written all over it. The who influenced solo. 50´s rock also. After the last chorus I heard a johnny b goode riff in there.

    Pretty cool song. This song got me to the bone. The first I heard that really made me want backspacer bad right now! The end is great, just breathe (love that country side of PJ), but this one is something else. This is way more radio friendly than the fixer, huh?

    great lyrics. It´s what we all dream about. Singing the songs we love!!

    If i were to only hear the solo part, I would be sure that this was something I missed on The Who´s Live At Leeds. Good tune!

    I LOVE IT!

    It made me want to get up and start dancing, which is kinda different for a Pearl Jam song (but I'm a dancer so duh)

    Maybe it's the 50's sound that is getting me up on my feet and do the twist ;) ?

    Isn't it amazing? Technology? Listening/viewing in Southern Cal the same say as the concert in England. You should have seen what was[n't] available in the 1970's.

    This song is great. Can't wait for the album.
    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

    Definitely getting a Ramones vibe, and I hear a little Mankind in there. I didn't love the 30 second clip, but I love this.

    Oh man I'm even more pumped about Backspacer now than I already was! And I agree with previous posters, it has quite a bit of a Ramones vibe to it. I like!

    Love it!!!

    Great energy to this one. The bridge is killer!!!

    Sounds like the best "punk song" they've written since "Yield".

    Can't wait for the album version.

    Cheers from T.O.

    See You Out There

    This album is shaping up to be an absolute beast! Yet another great song! Best album since Yield I'm predicting!

    I keep on trying to get a hold of this song but nobody's given it up...yet.

    Great tune! Someone said Ramones, which I totally get. I also think of Fugazi towards the end (the bridge, maybe!?). I love it!
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me...

    My 2 year old son loves dancing to it and continually says "again again" for me to play it. Reminds me of Anarchy in the UK and 80's rock and 50's rock. What a eclectic combo.
