hmm .. seems 10c has the first backspacer track listed as 'gonna see my friend'.
everything else has it listed as 'see my friend'.
what do you guys think?
i personally hope they drop the 'gonna' out of the title on the actual album.

    I like the Gonna See My Friend. See My Friend sounds like they're showing someone their friend. Whatever that means. I like the idea of the song being about visiting a friend, because little in this world makes me happier.

    oh yes... that "gonna" makes a world of difference to whats already a great tracklisting :?

    atleast we know its the real deal now... i would believe what 10C is advertising in the official preorder over what some german magazine said a month ago

    "Gonna see my friend" sounds a little cheesy but if they like it then its fine by me

    It's interesting, I get totally different vibes from the two. See My Friend I conceive of as a fast punk-ish song, whereas Gonna See My Friend feels to me like a slower track for some odd reason, maybe a little more on the pop side.

    yeeeeesh! you people and these titles! they are so much better then mostly any songs off of ten and vs and in my mind on par with any other album. there is NOTHING wrong with them. i actually love alot of the titles!

    anyways, this whole 'gonna' or lack of really doesn't matter. just interesting to see. i definitely prefer "see my friend" .. the word gonna just always sounds cheesy to me in song titles.

    Pearl Jam's entire reputation hangs on what they do with this song title, I'm sure of it.

    ok everybody relax. if you read my other post i said that it truly does not matter to me one bit. not at all. it's very small and unimportant. i simply noticed the difference in titles and wondered what everyone thought. i think people around here have just become so used to complaining that they are always snippy.

    Maybe this song will be the other side of "Off he goes". Ed mentioned that the song, "other side" was the other side of "Save you".
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Do you think the tracklisting will be horizontal like with Yield? Or will the songs be listed going down?
    11/6/95, 11/18/97, 7/13/98, 7/14/98, 10/24/00, 10/25/00, 10/28/00, 6/2/03, 6/3/03, 6/5/03, 7/6/06, 7/7/06, 7/9/06, 7/10/06, 7/13/06, 7/15/06, 7/16/06, 7/18/06, 10/21/06, 4/10/08, 4/13/08, 9/30/09, 10/1/09, 10/6/09, 10/7/09, 10/9/09
