OfThePearl said:I was already singing this, the second time it played, reading the lyrics. Not loud enough for others to hear, but enthusiastically! I will definitely have it memorized 100% for my 1st show. One of their best "soft" songs in awhile.
Someone said it had no emotion. I couldn't disagree more.
"Combing through the wreckage" is a sneakily catchy line. It's been in my head since Tuesday night.

massive hit
Had a great connect for Letterman....Me & our mutual buddywent on Dave's show like 7,8 times....Once for Ed's Without You Performance, got to have him sign my CD near Ruperts Deli....had a few words about his solo tour, was a great day.
Not better than the Letterman Hype video they show you to get the laughs going prior to the show, the best was Dave working the Taco Bell drive thru.....I crack up just thinking about it
SNL would be cool, the Avocado stint was fantastic0 -

I dont care for this song at all, and was hoping it would be my least liked track, but I might actually dislike won't tell even more. Something special is an odd addition to a Pearl Jam album as well. I think Eddie should've saved that for a side project. Ugh

I’ve listened about 5 times now. For me, I love it. Lyrically it is very tight in terms of what Ed is writing about. As for the music, Dark Matter is the only one that sounds vastly different to me, and maybe Something Special. It feels fairly cohesive to me, not a jukebox type record. I’m really enjoying it.0

Never tried for SNL but obviously would love to see a show with PJ as a guest.I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.0 -

"Wreckage", sounds like "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman but it is also one of the most lyrically poetic acoustic tracks PJ has released in a long time. "Combing through the wreckage, holding on, holding out" Reflecting on the abuse of power and the trauma it leaves behind. The song is cathartic and transcending. I appreciate the subtle similarities to Chapman's song which was also alluding to Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run". Great cultural practitioners all.
