    This song has one if those super special PJ  moments. 

    “If you could see, just what I see now…”

    it’s not quite as good as the peaks of GTF (he still gives his love) or Corduroy (everything has chains) but it’s up there as one of those moments and gives me chills every time. 







    I wonder if it relates to Cornell...you'd find a way to stay somehow... Curious

    my opinion 

    I feel this as well. There’s just something there.  



    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.

    This song steals the whole damn album in my opinion. Best since Given To Fly.

    This song hooked me on first listen and has grown to be an epic gem of a song, and a wonderful album closer.

    Scared of Fear / Setting Sun is a strong top 3 album starter / closer.

    Breaks my heart. Captures my last relationship perfectly:

    - I dreamt, to you, I would belong.
    Had the dream you would stay with me til kingdom come.
    Turns out, it was more like hit and run.
    Am I the only one hanging on? -

    Awful, awful, awful.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    I’m coming round to the idea of this being the best on the album, it’s such a classic PJ ballad.

    I honestly think Setting Sun is one of my favorite songs PJ have has ever made.

    Can apply to many types of relationships. CC left us rather abruptly.

    It's a binge worthy track that's for sure.  Repeat, then repeat again.

    I've been trying to figure out how PO relates to Chris, because that would be so appropriate. The Object is from the Zep "Presence" album. "Achilles Last Stand", from that album, was played at almost all (?) of TOTD's shows.  The words really fit in with this album. (As well as with TOTD, of course.)

    I wish I was handier at crafts. I love your bracelets!
    And they "work". I was wearing SOLAT, and they played it in Austin. I was wearing RISE at Ed's solo shows at Benaroya, he played it.
    Thank you for being so generous to give me those!

    House lights were on for Baba, so see the last track(s) as a bonus on the end!

    Scared of Fear: "Is this what we've become? Oh, one last setting sun"

    Setting Sun: "We can become... one last setting sun"

    Love this! ❤️


    I read/heard that Scared of Fear was one of the first songs written (written on first day of rehearsals in April 2021). I wonder when Setting Sun was written in the process.

    Fantastic song that I want to listen to every day, but don't want to ruin it by burning out😄
