    The first half of this song reminds me of a Neil Young song. I thought maybe 'unknown legend', but not sure if that's the one I'm thinking of. 

    Odd this song reminds me of a Springsteen song, and I can't place.

    I plan on watching plenty of sun sets this summer and this tune will be my go too song! It’s by far my favorite song from this collection of songs

    Love this song!!! Hit me in the theater and has continued to sound better every time I listen to it. Think it's a better opener than a closer. Would love to hear it on either end of a show. 
    Yes!

    I didn't feel it personally 
    Can't dig it yet, either. That being said, It's a hell of a lot more uplifting than River Cross, and better than their last few albums' closers.

    Yeah, it's a good song and I think it's growing on me with every listen, but it's def a better closer than River Cross easily.

    The rhythm guitar in this is another level. Not just the chords but the way they are played, especially in the second half. Stone Gossard -- assuming it's him -- remains PJ's secret sauce IMHO.

    I was just thinking this. The guitar work is so nice and delicate

    Someone got Ed to dig deep for this one. You can just tell he gave it that extra oomph! 

    And dammit it’s incredible

    I put this as a closer, maybe closer of the opening sit down, but definitely a set closer.

    Just heard the song on the radio - kexp Seattle. Helped the morning drive!

    HTI was an incredible slow set closer...Setting Sun should give off the same vibe.

    Love KEXP. Even more so with John in the morning last week with the six degrees being dedicated to members of PJ all of last week.

    The intro to this song has a kind of healing energy to it, and also the ending.  And it really flows so nicely back in to Scared of Fear.

    Scared of Fear + Setting Sun is such a strong opener / closer combo, that not only stand up against the best in the Pearl Jam catalog, but I put this combo up against the best of any album period.
