    Just adding my 2 cents on MYM. I absolutely love it. It kicks serious butt. Punk rock grunge PJ style with a Spin The Black Circle vibe. The bridge is my favorite part. That melody is awesome. Can't wait for the album, tour and can't stop listening to the song.
    "The Wild is chasing after me. Hot on my trail won't leave me alone. All I can see is your blood right in front of me, and I can't kill The Wild." Me

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Of the Earth - cracking tune!

    Hope that, combined with a punky edge, is the direction this album's heading in..... :)

    Really like this song. I'm feeling a little bit of Comatose on this one.

    What do you think of Brain of J. I hear that somehow a bit in it.
    But it become beter and beter and we here in Europe have to be really patient to see Eddie perform
    MYM :roll:

    I've listened to MYM for hours and have a draft of the lyrics. Would it be ok to post it?

    What an awesome song! Cant stop playing it, when it kicks in and eddie starts to sing, some heavy rock and roll! Was discussing the definition of a good rock and roll song with a colleague, he said its a song you want to start a mosh pit on, well this is it! Eddie s voice is back to a lower level and they let mike use the echo again,awesome!

    Also very fond of the instrumental bit they played in the video announcing the tour, perfect intro to mind your manners! Like mike said it s got this pink floyd vibe to it, or even the cure (a reflection, first track on the seventeen seconds album), good things to come!

    I would love to see the lyrics, as I'm having trouble understanding them-lovin' the music though, and Ed's voice sounds great! :clap::clap:

    There is the Amazon.com preorder for the CD. I'll bet the price drops a lot before it releases. Amazon doesn't charge you until they ship and you pay the lowest price (up to release date). Also, if you are a Prime member it will be free shipping and you'll get it on release date.

    If the first song and the title of the album are any indication what comes to mind is the line from Tony Montana in Scarface, "I don't fok around".

    I have to say it...I love the album name! ;)

    MYM sounds pretty great too!

    Ok, here's my rough draft, there are some things I'm unsure of - hope everybody can live with that, positive suggestions are good. I'm not sure that I will follow up on this post so I'm passing the ball here ;)

    The places I'm unsure of are in the "And then they're gonna..." , I'm pretty sure it's It and not Him in reference to God, I think it's wave it to the sky and not wear but I kept both versions, and I'm not sure of the tense in the I'll live or if it's I'd live - and that could be intended. In my mind these lyrics contain an entire novel. I also believe the similarity to Brain of J is intended, as a reference.
    Oh, yes, we're having an election this fall, where I live, and this text is so to the point, it really gets how I feel about the whole thing.
    Yep - live long and prosper :)
    Apologies: Yes, maybe I should have posted in a different thread, I probably got the lyrics wrong, and my post is way to long - but I am only a Bear of Very Little Brain ;)

    Mind your manners
    Pearl Jam july 12. 2013

    I’ve got an unfortunate feeling
    I’ve been beating down
    I feel I don’t believe
    Another good day’s coming out
    What they’ve taken is
    More than a wow
    They’ve taken your Nemisis
    And then they’re gonna go
    Burn him by the hour

    Oh lonely sailor
    Mind your manners

    I called myself a leader
    But I needed God
    And if It’s out there somewhere
    We sure could use Him now
    Child, my facetious
    My facetious child
    This world is a lonely planet
    That makes me want to cry

    Oh lonely sailor
    Mind your manners
    Satan’s sailor

    Stop realizing that I’m
    Physically redeemed
    And I’ll live another life
    And I’ll solve our mystery
    Right around the corner
    Could be bigger than ourselves
    We could wear it to the sky
    Or we could something else

    Oh lonely sailor
    Mind your manners
    Always praying

    Stop realizing that I’m
    Physically redeemed
    And I’ll live another life
    And I’ll solve our mystery
    Right around the corner
    Could be bigger than ourselves
    We could wave it to the sky
    Or we could something else


    Go to Heaven
    That’s right
    How do you like it?
    Live in Hell!

    Nice one snefryd. I I hear some differences that are pretty significant, ahem, lyrically speaking. But most of it, your guess is good as mine. The only clear thing Ed really says in the song besides MYM is "physically redeemed" and maybe a couple others

    Lonely sailor cracks me up, but I think its, "I'm only sayin - mind your manners" :):D:):lol:
    I hear, the truth is coming out
    Vow not wow
    Instead of "and I'll" I'm going with:
    "May not live another life
    May not solve a mystery"
    ...which if true, is quite the profound difference :lol::lol::lol: :corn:

    And what about:
    Go to heaven - that's swell
    How do you like your living hell?

    Nice one snefryd! I'm sure after NEXT FRIDAY AT WRIGLEY I'll walk out sayin, nope, still no f*in idea what he's sayin 8-):lol:8-) Although, I mean, it does seems to have some undertones of a criticism on religion. If it's "I caught myself believing / I needed god"... anyway great energy from a great single, tight, on message, GREAT to hear something fresh from the guys.

    Viva the epic OTE! Find a video from Pensacola last year and tell me the crowd thought it was a downer.
    Viva Backspacer! A satisfying, mature, even poetic record.

    Lightning Bolt.... Way to PJ for hanging on to theirs.
