First of all, I'm grateful the band is still putting out music! I'm especially grateful this album arrived during these challenging times. ^ Agree with Hendog, there is always hope. There is 'Much to be done...'
Freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb They giveth and they taketh and you fight to keep that what you've earned We saw the destination, got so close before it turned Swim sideways from this undertow and do not be deterred
Song just came on random all and my “muscle memory “ was like oh good song coming up, not realizing it was new PJ. I really like it but the vocal does a weird raising of the voice on one syllable a few times in the first verse. Reminds me of an orthodox Rabbi. Been a little busy at work lately so not following as close as I should ;-)

I’ve seen my fair share of PJ shows and Unthought Known never fails to build to that incredible peak...I think Seven O Clock can be that type of live song. It’s easily my favorite on the album. Thanks PJ for bringing the goods! We’re not worthy!
You (and especially Eddie) need to grow up and stop the Trump bashing, you're embarrassing yourselves. The president has a 60% approval rating for his handling of the coronavirus crisis. He wisely decided to enact a travel ban for people arriving from China VERY EARLY ON (Jan. 31 to be exact). He was branded a racist and xenophobe by the media and fools like Bernie and Biden. ALL experts NOW agree that Trump's bold decision gave the U.S. a head start in containing the virus and has saved countless Americans from contracting the virus, many of whom would be dead now. Besides, Trump WILL be President for 4 more years and 8 months so you might as well make the best of it - it's your life...
The lyrics are amazing. Much to be done. I have talked to a few people who think you cannot plan for pandemics even after all this mess. I think of these lyrics. Much to be done! We can prepare. We can do great things.
I hear people saying it's too wordy, or too Springsteeny, or whatever. And maybe so. But after 7-8 listens, it's my favorite so far. I can't wait to hear it live.
On the first listen, I felt the same about the choppiness/wordiness of the lyrics, but after multiple listens and sitting with the lyrics, it is clear to me that it is 100% intentional. There are so my instances one could easily pluck a word or two from a line, and create a smoother flow. I can’t believe that that was just a lazy oversight. In fact, I’d more believe that the original lyrics were way less wordy, and, during recording, they kept stuffing more words into the lines for the effect that it creates.
"...what a different life had i not found this love with you..."

let’s add a dash of present tense as well
You’re right on the money Lerxst1992. I missed that.

Hahaha, good one. Funniest post I have ever read here. You should be a comedian.

Liked this instantly....has grown on me so much since learning the lyrics. The lyrics are a bit complicated. Not like a normal song but they are so FUCKING POIGNANT and so RIGHT NOW.
I do not hear the words for awhile. I can only hear a tone aka the music..I can't get past the beginning. An amazing beginning to a song. No analyzing or figuring out for long ass time. Just music. It is very hard to explain. It moves like a bitch, flows...ripple, ...riple....riple
Be different & make a difference. Decency & kindness @ a grassroots level works.
The song strikes a chord at the moment, the whole album does for that matter. The lyrics are so timely. This is Ed using his superpowers at his best, song went from one of my least, to most favorites on the album

yeah, everything is working out great! Trump is a genius, he knows more than the doctors, the generals, he is perfect in every way, no one knows more than Trump, he only speaks the truth, everyone is lying except Trump, he will save everyone from cancer causing by windmills, and be the one true savior of humanity on earth, oh yeah, he is just a con man and bull shit artist. Right on Eddie!!! LOVE SEVEN O' CLOCK!!
I admit that I didn't get this song at first, saw the comments and I couldn't understand what I was not hearing.
Out walking the dog yesterday after work and it just hit me like a wave of light. In fact the whole album did.
A stunning piece of work. How lucky are we to live in a time where people can put out something like this after so much time, in a musical age where all roads lead to banality.

This is hilarious, unless it’s meant to be serious which in that case it’s very very sad

This is pure MAGA bullshit. It is our lives. Hard to "make the best of it" when the charts show that U.S. has done the worst job of any country in containing the virus.
Seven O’Clock is a musical masterpiece. It may be politically charged but these beautiful lyrics can be applied to more than left vs right. A lot of positive messages to be taken from this gem. OUx.gif
While the Admin was trying to deal with this, fiddling Peloso was, and still is, pushing impeachment....who was asleep at the wheel? Imagine the worst crisis is at our doorstep and all half the goverment cares about is impeaching you...that really helps the idea they gave a shit at all about anything but their agenda
Pritzker in Illinois. INVOKE WAR POWERS. So he does it and now he's a facist for denying Canada and SA their equipment, he is starting a bidding war and tit for tat retaliatory world....just stop bitching about him already it is counter productive, tired, boring...enough hand wringing

This is trying to have your cake and eat it too, but like a way dumber version.
The admin was not trying to deal with this. Which is worth noting because the admin also wasn't trying to deal with impeachment--no witnesses, no testimony, remember?
Also lol at the idea that pandemic response isn't the president's responsibility but the speaker's. This isn't Fox News buddy, you can't just find the highest ranking democrat and make them secretly behind everything.

We saw the destination, got so close before it turned
Swim sideways from this undertow and do not be deterred
Feels Dylan esque to me in a way

I love the song
Ok don’t be too harsh but does it remind anyone of Let me sleep?
A much faster and word filled version?
My favorite right now. Great song.
