    The end of this song is basically, "Things might be bleak, so we can choose to end it now, or we make this be only the beginning. "

    It's the twist at the end, if you could see what I see now, we could be amazing, and just getting started. Let us not fade.

    Love this song.

    Also, lyrics aside....those drippy MLB-esque guitar riffs during the second half just get me everytime.

    Bump for the best song in 18 years. Really hope at least one out of each two night stand closes with SS. I also wish the studio version had the extended jam outro.
    Well said. All of it

    I don't know how many times I've played this song as I fall to sleep at night. Just caps off the day perfectly. 
    It has my favorite lyric of the whole album. "They say in the end everything will be ok, and if it's not ok well then it ain't the end."

    I took a hiatus from SS and Dark Matter for the past month. But the past week I have driven home blasting the Las Vegas 1 version of SS; singing every word at the top of my lungs of the second half and just jamming those MLB riffs

    I fall asleep to it at least 3 times a week.

    This has become my favourite song on Dark Matter. Probably top 5 PJ song of all time for me.

    Both nights, I was the idiot screaming SS at the back of the pit behind Jill, she complemented me. Eddie definitely noticed. A couple fans were laughing. Who cares. Best song in forever. Close with SS you pussies

    Here's my petition suggesting that "Setting Sun" closes all PJ tour shows.

    A suggestion, since no one TELLS the band what to do lol.

    100K signatures, and it goes to Pennsylvania Avenue for review.

    I love reading every post in this thread as I feel the same about the song.  

    I hope this catches the band’s attention too.  

    There’s a big difference between radio singles meant to catch a listener - and the songs like Black or Setting Sun that are never released, but resonate with fans on a deeper level.  

    I would hope like Inside Job has stayed in rotation long since that tour, that Setting Sun will be played a lot more throughout the Dark Matter tour and the song will stick around and be played often enough going forward.   It’s that good. It deserves to be played most every night.

    Why no April/May shows for you?
