    I can't believe so many people don't.

    There's no accounting for taste.

    I don't understand it either... to me it's like a bland ITW song... doesn't really hook me, and sort of cheesy lyrics. Not a bad song, but forgettable.

    I am curious about this as well. Maybe there is something in the works with it.

    I have to post here and receive all the hate from you. But. I don't think this song is so special in any way :? I can't be the only one thinking that?

    Normally I can't decide which of PJs songs are my favorite because they are all so amazing, but this song? :roll: No. :D
    Maybe it's good for going to sleep to :D

    No, you're not the only one....

    Of course it is! Look at all the attention it's getting amongst us...and after the tour, it's a nice little spike in attention for PJ. Completely agree it's intentional. Nothing wrong with that at all...keep "leaking" songs for us.

    I'm with you two on this one, utter shite instantly forgettable, like another poster said the older crowd might be into more.

    I quite like the song and i wouldnt class myself in the "older crowd" but to each their own as this man said...

    nice song
    nice to hear something new
    makes me want to eat peyote and hide in a tent :lol:


    but ed, please put down the mando, the acoustic, the accordian, and pick up that beautiful old telecaster and write some rock and roll songs please. Its ok, take two years if you need to. I will still be here.

    I just heard this song this morning. Wow. I really like it. The organ at the beginning reminds me of Long Road. I love the acoustic guitar solo. Flamenco-esque! I also love the layered vocals. Very cool.

    Just what I was thinking. Guess they're keeping us on our toes around here.

    Ziggy, if there was one Ed grunt in it, you would think it's the next Release. It's the only thing missing, am I right?

    I'd be thinking it's Into the Wild/Backspacer era.

    Cos that sounds like a mandolin to me...

    the song has a bit of Binaural feel to it ....

    kind of like In My Tree met something on Touring Band 2000 .... Foldback maybe ... met Love Boat Captain

    maybe not written in 2000, but sounds like the roots of this song go back to 2000

    some of the vocals sound like Into the Wild and/or Binaural ...


    Fairly sure that's a mandolin, which woud put it around Into the Wild or Backspacer

    So Pearl Jam's manager 'leaks' the song but we can't say where you can listen to it at? :?
