I’ve read people saying Ed pays tribute to Tom Petty in this song. It’s not immediately obvious to me tho.

    Very end, he sings the same harmony as Listen to her Heart

    I don't know about the rest of the song but towards the end he says " She was a singer in a rock and roll band - Had command of all her voices" which sounds just like when Tom Petty sings " So you think your going to take here away, with your money and your cocaine" from his song called Listen To Her Heart. Just my 2 cents.

    Never destination reminds me of a better made Supersonic btw. I'm sure it's been said around here before.

    It’s a sort of mfc feel to me, in a good way. Underrated tune here

    Some of this song sounds like a Huey Lewis and the News song, but I can’t put my finger on it yet. 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    The ambient guitar in the intro before the beat kicks in to me sounds very similar to World Wide Suicide's intro, with the ringing A chord going into a beat.  

    I like this song overall, took a few listens to go from "oh this is cool" to "this is great" but it clicked for me today when the melody got stuck in my head

    This track, perhaps more than any other on the album, feels like peeking behind the PJ curtain.  As if the listener is in the same room witnessing the pure, joyous sound of a rock band jamming out together, channeling the spirit of another rock legend and not being shy about it

    Expound.

    Makes me think of Supersonic as someone else has stated.

    Yeah, i heard a bit of Petty here, too, and i'm glad im not alone.  Overall, it's just the one part, like a small shout out.  

    Also, Never Destination is the song that Supersonic wanted to be when it grew up.

    This song is like if you in a roleplaying game named "Pearl Jam" went with the default character instead of customizing your own.

    I am loving this song. It seems like a lot of people are down on it and I don't see why.

    Hahaha, I was totally running to the boards to make a post on what I thought I had discovered, only to find out I was a day late and a dollar short on both of my thoughts! I first saw someone mention the obvious Supersonic vibe to Never Destination but figured I was still coming in hot with my Black, Red & Yellow take only to see your comment! So basically, Black, Red & Yellow meets up with Supersonic and they end up having a baby called Never Destination, love it!

    Reminds me of "Ain't talking bout love" by Van Halen. I couldn't think of it right away, but I kept putting in "hey hey hey" after the guitar part.
