    This is my favorite song on the album.  One hell of an opener.

    Going to be amazing live. I can't wait to see the crowd bouncing after the bridge.

    Am I the only one that gets some “Garden” when it slows down in the bridge?!

    Great opening song on a great fucking album!

    Absolutely, has that vibe for sure and the frenetic strumming in the chorus reminds me of Rearviewmirror.

    Every time I listen to it I find something new to love about it!

    And so much emotion in the voice. He feels this song in every word and the lyrics break my heart, but are also so powerful I can scream them out every time I listen to this song. 

    I think my Spotify Charts at the end of the year have a winner.

    I enjoy this song. Sounds very similar to Brother the Cloud both musically and thematically. The bridge is suuuper similar to the outro of BTC
    I caught this too and it gave me pause for a minute, but for me that’s more or less where any Earthling comparisons ended. Love this song.

    This song is so good and what an amazing opener.  I love Stone's playing throughout,  especially that guitar tone.  It's uplifting and happy to hear it as the awesome album kicks in to gear.

    It was played live on Howard Stern!  Wow, wasn't expecting that (especially over the song Dark Matter).

    This sounded great on Howard.  I'm thinking Dark Matter is going to need more of the crew to pull off-- lots of effects and layers.  Also on Scared of Fear, I'm not sure if Stone screwed up the first note a bit, or it's something that I'm not picking up on the album recording, but it sounds like he slides into the first chord in the live version.  Then he did it again.  Might be using the old jazz adage, "do it once it's an accident, do it twice it's on purpose" ;)

    First time hearing it in the theatre I started humming the vocal lines to Garden.  There's definitely an element in there.

    you know, when brother the cloud came out - that break was so good I thought to myself - damn i wish it were a PJ song... Then scared of fear came out and I immediately thought of brother the cloud - that break/bridge is going to be so great and intense live...

    The lyrics are phenomenal - for those that have loss of a friend - end of a relationship that went sour - we can all relate to that lyric - is this what we've become? One last setting sun?

    It’s a brilliant song and then the brilliance of the album just flows from there.
