    I wish I was handier at crafts. I love your bracelets!
    And they "work". I was wearing SOLAT, and they played it in Austin. I was wearing RISE at Ed's solo shows at Benaroya, he played it.
    Thank you for being so generous to give me those!

    Scared of Fear: "Is this what we've become? Oh, one last setting sun"

    Setting Sun: "We can become... one last setting sun"

    Love this! ❤️


    I read/heard that Scared of Fear was one of the first songs written (written on first day of rehearsals in April 2021). I wonder when Setting Sun was written in the process.

    Fantastic song that I want to listen to every day, but don't want to ruin it by burning out😄

    Best lyric on the album IMO. Simple yet powerful. Gives hope!

    Anybody else notice that the first line is shown in the liner notes (and visualizer) as "The cast was made/To reset broken bones," which makes sense, but it distinctly sounds on the recording like Ed sings, "The catch was made..."?
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Has anyone else noticed that the intro to this song sounds just like Bruce Springsteens - My Homtown from the Born in the USA album?
    It's what I start singing every time I hear it.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Don’t think the second half can get any better than this. Ed wants to head bang so bad but can’t let the hat fall off 😆

    Can't get enough of this song, as heartbreaking as it is. Kind of makes Black look like Walking On Sunshine to me.

    And I 100% support a permanent concert ending of YL and this, or anything followed by this. Play the penultimate song, take a bow and say your good-byes, then go right into Setting Sun. Perfect.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Some of the absolute best lines he's ever come up with. I put them up against anything he's ever written. Simple but incredibly powerful, and they resonate.

    So much is happening at the end of this song.  Typically you have one set of outro lyrics, this has more like four! 

    ONE:
    If you could see what I see now
    You'd find a way to stay somehow
    Oh, if you could see, yeah, what I see now
    You'd make your way to stay somehow

    TWO:
    May your days be long 'til kingdom come
    May our days be long before kingdom come
    May our days be long until kingdom come

    THREE: 
    We can become one last setting sun
    Am I the only one hanging on?
    We could become one last setting sun
    Or be the sun at the break of dawn

    FOUR: 
    Let us not fade
    Let us not fade
    severed hand thirteen
