Waiting For Stevie

DE4173

It's a day off and I know people are struggling not hearing it, so

Visited by thought

Another darkened day

How you are like the sun

Hiding somewhere beyond the rain

I’m needing for the light

Stormy is the grey

Rivers overflowing

Drowning all our yesterdays

Visited by thoughts

On another darkened week

How even every winner

Hits a losing streak

The mistakes we all make

And perfectly repeat

Chains are made, by DNA refusing

Refusing to release

Combing through the wreckage

Pouring through the sand

Surrounded by the remnants

What we could and couldn’t have

Raking through the ashes

Falling through my hands

Charcoal on the faces in the

Burned up photographs

Visited by thoughts

And this I got to say

If you’re feeling the leaving

I can’t make you stay

I’ve only ever wanted

For it not to be this way

But you’re now like the water

And the water will find its way

Combing through the wreckage

Holding out,... holding on

Combing through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Visited by thoughts

And not just in the night

That I no longer give a fuck

Who is wrong and who’s right

this game of winner takes all

And all means nothing left

Spoils go the victor

And the other left for dead

Combing through the wreckage

Holding out,... holding on

Combing through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage

Falling through the wreckage

Crawling through the wreckage

Combing through the wreckage.

stevie at pitt one please.    Best song on the album

I can't believe they haven't been playing this gem!

It should be played every night

Intriguing really. Glad that Won’t Tell and Got to Give have got some AirPlay this leg. But Stevie!? Cmon Ed, you need to play it at least once in both Raleigh and Pitt. Vocally it can’t be too much of a concern because they’ve played other songs that might stretch the vocals.

It is absolutely insane to play Wreckage and not Waiting for Stevie.

It's insane to play a song that hit number one at multiple formats instead of a song that spent one week in the top ten at one format?

Wreckage is a good song, but the two times I've seen it I though it brought down the mood/buzz a little. Maybe it was just placement in the setlist, but I found it underwhelming live.

Possibly the most overrated newish PJ song? I think so.

I know. I saw it ten times in ten shows last year. It didn't bother me. It's the most popular song from their current album. Of course, they're playing it every night.

That’s a cool stat but it sure as hell doesn’t feel like the most popular when they play it. DM still gets the biggest response as far as new songs in my experience

I know. Point is if there’s one new song that’s played every night,  that seems to have the most justification

wreckage just kills any momentum with the crowd that the start of a show built,

Same way sirens and 7:00 did.

There's a difference between one's subjective opinion of a song and an objective assessment of its appeal. The former is personal and will depend on an individual's particular taste and experience, whereas the latter is something we can try to measure. "Wreckage" reached an audience that "Dark Matter" didn't reach and wasn't likely to reach. (In general, the heavier the song, the narrower the potential audience. There's a reason why "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "November Rain" were bigger hits than "Welcome to the Jungle.") "Wreckage" and "Dark Matter" are also different kinds of songs that aren't necessarily going to elicit the same type of response in a live setting, but that doesn't necessarily mean that people are enjoying one more than the other. "Dark Matter" has a fist-pumping chorus that people can shout along with; "Wreckage" is a midtempo song that people can groove to even if it doesn't bring out the fist-pumping response. Anyway, there's really no mystery as to why they play it every night.

The few times I’ve heard WFS live it’s sounded great but different every time.  I’m convinced they can’t get the timing right and they don’t like how it sounds. I hope they figure it out, the song has so much live potential.

It's one of the songs I listen to less and less. It's very a very basic radio rock song with a great solo.
Wreckage is one of the highlights on the album despite it being so accessible. It's a song that can bring in new fans. 

PJNB

Listening to a song on the radio vs listening to a song live are two different things. 

If we went by most popular songs Just Breathe and Last Kiss  would be played at every show. Gross lol
