I sat my ass on the couch last night and listened to the cd on our really good speakers. I can't agree more. That song is really brilliant. Even though it's different, it makes me feel like I'm hearing a little bit of something like Love Boat Captain. I can't quite put my finger on it.
It's pretty well my favourite on the album so far. Have lost count of the number of times I've listened to it! The general consensus of opinion from other threads I've read is that it's one of the favourites off the new album. Can't wait to hear it live!
Unthought Known is amazing and by far the best on the album. Is in my PJ top-5.
Have any of you heard "The Pass" by Rush? Something about Unthought Known reminds me of The Pass in some way. By the way, The Pass is my favorite Rush Song. I know the 2 songs are different but somehow I make that connection.
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

I love the new song... easily the best off the new album, no contest. Rush kicks ass as well! Saww them on my b-day 8 years ago. I just have a feeling this song wont be too great live...

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
Best song on the album - who the hell was lucky enough to see EV play this already?
{raises hand and jumps up and down excitedly} I was! I was! I'm sure I've already said it, but I will keep saying it: I was hooked on that song from the first time I heard it in Newark, and I could not get it out of my head. I'm waiting for Philly, hoping they will play this at least once.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

Great Song! Best on album! I would definitely put it in my top ten for sure!!

It keeps getting better and more relevant with every listen....
'I want to hurry home to you

and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening

Right there with you, and I'm no bandwagon jumper....I can't stop listening..
'I want to hurry home to you

Is the BEST fucking song they have ever written.....PERIOD!!!!!!
There....
I said it.........
And when they sing it live in Philly, I may just jump on stage and give all the boys a big fucking hug.........
What he said........
It's funny because I was going to start an 'Unthought Known' thread minutes before this appeared..it is the best in years, in quite a few years....I'm gonna fuck something soft and inviting soon..

Just Breathe, Amongst The Waves, and Unthought Known... that's simply a remarkable middle to an album :shock: Really enjoying the entire album. Looking forward to a couple of the Philly shows and hearing these songs live!
:P

I fully agree: this song is magic and just stunning and yup, I also would call it a masterpiece that will stay forever!
Last night I got so overwhelmed by it again, and so I just thought: wow, this is my song, this is THE song!
the lyrics uhhh- have you ever heard so wonderful words that really gets you and make so much sense,
and the music uhhh- it will become my timeless melody, ....
the song is more then words can describe.
and p.s. all in all Backspacer is just IT.
so viva Pearl Jam!!!! and thank you soooo much as always! You did such a great great job again.
happy n.
there is no way to peace, peace is the way!
...the world is come undone, I like to change it everyday but change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks.

Speedy - you are right. I t has been a long time since Pearl Jam gave us a song This good. It takes me back to Vitalogy when I first heard Not For You and Immortality.
It's a killer song. Second only to Amongst the Waves.
