    We will never get to hear this :mrgreen:

    There's needs to be an Ed vs Weird Al show off someday! :P

    Got Better Day's burned on CD this morning, spinning @ work. It's great. :D

    It's a great tune... glad we got to hear it :)
    Does this mean.... an EP soon? A man can hope :)
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Is there anyone at all, anywhere, that doubted this for a second?

    I think the issue is just how great it is. For me, it's Unthought Known great, In My Tree great -- instant top ten contender, you know? I'm having trouble pulling myself away from the computer, cannot stop listening to it.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Oh my god.
    I have to post here and receive all the hate from you. But. I don't think this song is so special in any way :? I can't be the only one thinking that?

    Normally I can't decide which of PJs songs are my favorite because they are all so amazing, but this song? :roll: No. :D
    Maybe it's good for going to sleep to :D

    I kinda wished a little there was more of that spanish guitar soloing. But all n' all, it's great. Why oh why hasn't this been put on a b-side vinyl/cd or best on a holiday single? :|

    I hear a tasty mixture of Parachutes / Santa Cruz with a lot of ITW and a little Unthought Known.. I've been uplifted.!

    no hate here. some people will like it and some won't. personally, i really like it. it's a nice departure from the Backspacer "sound". and i like Backspacer, but change is always a good thing.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I agree. I like, I am sure some people won't. I hope something is done with it by PJ/10C.

    This one is kind of like Love Boat Captain to me -- some really good parts but a little hokey and doesn't quite come together.

    Still, cool to hear it.

    What a surprise to receive this new song in a Google Alert for PJ. A special and unexpected start to my day. I would be surprised if this is Riot Act Era. I'm think its more Self-titled/Into the Wild Era.
    Either way its different, uplifting and positive

    I'm really digging it. This was a hell of a way to start the day, as I noted several deleted threads ago. It's not everyday you unexpected gte a new, and more importantly quality, PJ tune. Just awesome 8-)

    I love this! Should have been on the Riot Act over a few of the other songs if you ask me.

    Because it was on the Monkeywrench site, I am thinking this would have to be post-Riot Act, otherwise Sony would own the rights to it, right? Of course, when you leak a song, nobody gets paid, but whenever the hell its from, I love it.
    words seem so out of place.
