    OK, but how do we know it wasn't an Ed song contributed to the Riot Act sessions?

    Unless he wrote a new song and used the name.. or reworked an older version..


    Either way, its a new recording and it new to us, so I guess it really doesn't make a difference.

    listen: sometimes you record a song and you dont like it and you fix it and then record it again later. sometimes you have a song title to a song that you never end up using and then use the same title later in a new work cause you like the title. sometimes you write words to a song and then end up using the words in a different song. it's not done until it's released. nothing on this track was recorded in 2002.

    Riot Act has such diverse songs.. Would you have guessed You Are to be a Riot Act song if it was left off and found out years later? Or Down a b-side?

    It's not like the band goes into the studio and plans on only writing downer political songs.

    thing is You Are doesnt sound like anything they ever did, before or since, but this sounds like something recent.

    this probably has been kicked around awhile, they probably have a million little ideas thrown around. but i bet the vast majority of this song was made up recently. enough to call it new, anyway.

    It probably is a new song, but the title is still used from a song for the Riot Act session. Maybe its the same song, maybe its just the same title, maybe it was reworked, who knows. The recording is new, and its new to us , so that's all that matters.

    I'm just hoping his reward is a new caps lock key to replace the clearly broken one.
