    We will never get to hear this :mrgreen:

    There's needs to be an Ed vs Weird Al show off someday! :P

    Got Better Day's burned on CD this morning, spinning @ work. It's great. :D

    It's a great tune... glad we got to hear it :)
    Does this mean.... an EP soon? A man can hope :)
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Is there anyone at all, anywhere, that doubted this for a second?

    I think the issue is just how great it is. For me, it's Unthought Known great, In My Tree great -- instant top ten contender, you know? I'm having trouble pulling myself away from the computer, cannot stop listening to it.

    Oh my god.
    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

    I kinda wished a little there was more of that spanish guitar soloing. But all n' all, it's great. Why oh why hasn't this been put on a b-side vinyl/cd or best on a holiday single? :|

    I hear a tasty mixture of Parachutes / Santa Cruz with a lot of ITW and a little Unthought Known.. I've been uplifted.!

    no hate here. some people will like it and some won't. personally, i really like it. it's a nice departure from the Backspacer "sound". and i like Backspacer, but change is always a good thing.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I agree. I like, I am sure some people won't. I hope something is done with it by PJ/10C.

    This one is kind of like Love Boat Captain to me -- some really good parts but a little hokey and doesn't quite come together.

    Still, cool to hear it.

    What a surprise to receive this new song in a Google Alert for PJ. A special and unexpected start to my day. I would be surprised if this is Riot Act Era. I'm think its more Self-titled/Into the Wild Era.
    Either way its different, uplifting and positive

    I'm really digging it. This was a hell of a way to start the day, as I noted several deleted threads ago. It's not everyday you unexpected gte a new, and more importantly quality, PJ tune. Just awesome 8-)

    I love the build up. The ending of that song is incredible.

    I love this! Should have been on the Riot Act over a few of the other songs if you ask me.

    Because it was on the Monkeywrench site, I am thinking this would have to be post-Riot Act, otherwise Sony would own the rights to it, right? Of course, when you leak a song, nobody gets paid, but whenever the hell its from, I love it.
    words seem so out of place.

    don't you just hate how PJ leaves these awsome beautiful amazing songs off of albums? and if it was from Riot Act, they left it off Lost Dogs too! Man these guys are good.

    yup. it would be amazing to tour their vault & pop in random recordings. they've gotta be sitting on a ton of unreleased stuff.

    WOW!!!!!! Awesome song! Would be a great opener with the huge build up and all.

    A truly lovely song. I won't be reading any negative comments ... I'm too busy listening to and appreciating this unexpected gift.

    Fill my heart with discipline put there for the teaching
    In my head see clouds of stairs
    Help me as I'm reaching
    The future's paved with better days. . .


    Fucking beautiful. Thank you Ed, and Jeff, Stone, Mike, Matt and Boom!

    I say this song can take the "Just Breathe" spot on the next tour!

    An instant favorite! (Build up is great power)

    I may be wrong, but I don't see this being a left over from Riot Act. The song is definitely more ITW era, which also carried over to some of the BS songs. Also, the song is much more joyful and positive which is another theme pretty prominent on BS. That's just my opinion.
