    I absolutely love this song. I really wish the band would officially release it. I'd also love to hear this song live!!!

    I wonder how many other hidden gems are out there that the band has yet to release?

    I'm not sure about Riot Act days though. Ed's singing reminds me more of Avocado or Backspacer.

    I really like the musical aspect of this song! Very cool!

    Not exactley. There has been a website up for awhile now, Monkeywrenchrecords.com which never had anything more than a home page with a logo on it. Monkey Wrench Records is what Pearl Jam calls their record label, since they are now independent. People had been sort of keeping an eye on the website for awhile. Apparently at some point yesterday I think, the song appeared there, but it seems that someone was trying to share it with one other person, on behalf of the band's managment, but didn't realize that the site was open to the public. The site has since had a password protection put on it, but basically, that's how it went down. This wasn't really supposed to get out it seems, but it seems like they have decided, oops, its out there, we're not gonna let the fans talk about how to get it, but once they have it, if they wanna talk about it, thats okay.
    words seem so out of place.

    I've listened to this song for the last hour, and I'm really digging it. I'm probably the worst at misheard lyrics so many of you may be better at this than me, but this is what I got:


    I feel part of the universe, open up to meet me
    My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in
    Once listening, the voices they came

    Had to somehow greet myself, read myself
    Heard vibrations within my cells, in my cells
    Singing...ha..ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah

    My love is safe for the universe, see me now I'm bursting
    On one planet, so many turns, different worlds
    Singing...ha..ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah

    {{Guitar solo}}

    From my heart with discipline, put there for the teaching
    In my head I see clouds of stairs, help me as I'm reaching
    The future's paved, with better days

    I'm running from something, I'm running to the day
    Wide awake

    I whispered, once quiet, now I'm rising to a scream
    Rise in me

    I'm falling, free falling, world's calling me.....
    I fall on my knees

    Oh I'm soaring, and darling, you'll be the one that I can need
    Stay and be free

    Our future's paved with, better days

    It's pretty cool!

    I'm thinking it's a song that Ed brought to the RA sessions that was recently given a facelift (ie. vocals). That was the uke/lbc period

    It is possible that he did all the instrumentation himself but he may have had a hand or two.

    Very interested to see what comes of it :D
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    I transcribed the lyrics, and they really smack of "Into The Wild."
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in
    Once listening, the voices they came
    Had to somehow greet myself, read myself
    Heard vibrations within my cells, in my cells

    My love is safe for the universe
    See me now, I'm bursting
    On one planet, so many turns
    Different worlds
    Singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah"

    (Spanish guitar solo)

    Fill my heart with discipline
    Put there for the teaching
    In my head see clouds of stairs
    Help me as I'm reaching
    The future's paved with better days

    Not running from something
    I'm running towards the day
    Wide awake

    A whisper once quiet
    Now rising to a scream
    Right in me

    I'm falling, free falling
    Words calling me
    Up off my knees

    I'm soaring and, darling,
    You'll be the one that I can need
    Still be free

    Our future's paved with better days

    I have this feeling the people who find it "boring" didn't stick around to listen to the 2nd half... awesome.

    +1. The second half of that song brought tears to my eyes, and that's just not something that happens. The last line and the way it is sung, "I'm soaring and darling....You'll be the one that I can need" and then "our future's paved with better days" just makes me think about how much I love my wife and how lucky I am to have her.

    I like that little "Andres Segovia" solo.

    Intro sure sounds like Wasted Reprise.
    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

    I thought the same thing. it is very similar.
