    It's a band I don't like, if it does sound like someone else. The beginning is painful and it gets ok around the 1:19 mark but painful again in between and the piano is painful throughout.

    Luckily they have like 4 thousand other great songs, so no biggie, all bands have duds here and there.

    The old ladies will LOVE it and it makes Eddie look even hotter in their eyes :D I can hear it now ohhhh heeees soooo damnnn hottttt. :mrgreen: barf!!!
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    When Ed Sings the part "Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too" that's when it sounds like Walk On....to me

    Yeah that's what I got from it too, specially at the end of the song. Sounds like a few other U2 songs, cant put my finger on which but its very U2ish.
    It's Evolution, Baby!

    My first thought was it would fit on a Bon Jovi record.

    You know, I almost went here when describing it to a friend of mine today, but I stopped short. Although I did use the words "Prom Song" in my description. PJ + PF + BJ. (Mostly the Bruce Springsteen bits of Bon Jovi in particular, btw.)

    But FWIW, I like the song. Very heart felt, as usual from PJ (Vedder, in particular, as always on the vocal), and nice job by McCready, as usual. Maybe the gateway drug for some new fans.

    People just don't like that it touches on certain elements that other less worthy bands dabble with. In truth, it's too long and not catchy enough to be the 'same' as a lot of the bands that people are listing.

    Can't get the words out of my head...."Don't wanna close my eyes. Don't wanna fall asleep, cause I'd miss you, babe. And I don't wanna miss a thing!" Oh wait! Wrong tune, yet so close.

    I kid. Sort of.

    It sounds like Pearl Jam and the cr@% Ed likes to write over the Ukulele. Someone could just break that damn thing if we are to hope for harder records... HAHAHAHA I'M JOKING don't send any hate my way. (But I don't like the Ukulele thing for real)

    For me it's always the same feeling since Vitalogy...

    I listen to it the first time and go WHAT?!?!? What a load of cr@%!!! Then I hear it again, hear it again... listen to it live, another time... learn the lyrics... and simply love it. :D So in recent years all albums have grown on me. By PJ and any other band I love (there aren't many of them around anymore).

    One thing for me is true. On the last two records they picked the worst two songs to be the first single. Let's face it... both WWS and The Fixer are not a fan favorite. So I am guessing the best is saved for last.

    I respect them for having the energy to try something new... it's really hard to do it. I am positive it would be very easy for them to cover TEN over and over... but maybe we wouldn't be here and neither would them.

    I agree. They're gonna have to chop this a ton to even get play and it's not like it's hook after hook. Someone in PJ's camp put it out there that this is gonna be the biggest hit they've ever had and people are just running with it. I think the same thing is happening with the "Pink Floydish" comment Mike made several months back.

    I'm not sure PJ has ever been that great a writing a "hit", despite having some really great hooks throughout their career.

    I know The Fixer gets alot of flack, but there's not a recent song that takes off as well, live. That "yeah yeah yeah" part explodes.

    To me it sounds eerily similar to The Garden by Rush, off of their latest album. It's similar in sound, vibe, tempo and lyrical content. Call me crazy but I really hear a striking similarity:

    It sounds like Pearl Jam to me. I like it. Its sounds like a groovy mid tempo heartfelt love song. It has more balls than Just Breathe so I don't think Willie Nelson will be covering it? Good on ya PJ!

    Listening to it right now for the 2nd time. I was wondering where you heard NR, but I hear it now in Matt's drumming. Almost exactly the same.

    The little pre chorus part reminds me of Cat Stevens. I've only listened a couple times. I think it the type that will grow on you and be interesting live.

    I am really digging this track after the fourth listen. That's all.

    I know that... just trying to point out that IN MY OPINION recently they don't but out the records best tunes as singles.

    But come on... what's right or wrong? Some people will like it, some other people won't like it. I guess it dependes on whatelse other than PJ you listen too... People into Metal I am sure miss that little thing in their music.
    I'm into alternative...so it's perfectly fine for me. :D

    Cheers

    nothing on first listen, kind of a odd song for me first time through, but MYM is Matt Soundgarden sound all the way. A lot of Ty Cobb in that song

    My first thought.... good lyrics

    My second thought; Jesus, when did they turn into Bon Jovi?

    This one is going to have to grow on me I guess. Yikes
