Song of the Moment: Gone

[bodysnatcher]

yeah i've never liked this song, at all

[Rusted]

At most, this should've been an Ed solo song. The band sure did make a dull song out of it.

I agree with this sentiment. I always liked Gone but that's probably because of the personal connection it had to me when it first came out.

[evenslow]

one of about a handful of studio tracks that i deem outright bad. not even good enough to call paint-by-numbers.

[ledvedderman]

I think that of all the studio “real” songs, Gone is the worst. I don’t think I can say anything that hasn’t been said already. I think the studio version is extra painful. The acoustic guitar in the intro is far too slow. Musically, it COULD be a good song, but it’s just so awful lyrically. Fuck you, Gone.

[evenslow]

it's ed working in complete sleep mode. how it didn't forever stay as a demo is dumbfounding, especially considering they had (at least) Let It Ride and Cold Confession and Of The Earth in their back pocket.

Truly amazing the same guy wrote a song like Grievance just a few years prior.

i have an rational hate for the song b/c of the origin story in which it was added on super late in the process of S/T, which, by all accounts, was a slog in the studio (and by that I mean the good kind of slog aka hard work). Gone was the canary in a coal mine for post S/T - simple demos, less work, less collaboration, more BOB.

It was the turning point, no doubt.

[Birds in Hell]

I really like Gone.

[Strat]

I really like Gone.

I dont care for listening to it ever.

The times I've heard it live im usually enjoying it come the chorus because it does...."soar" for lack of better terms.

thanks, p.t.

[evenslow]

I really like Gone.

wow, kinda shocked by this. what about it?

I'm a pretty big fan of that whole album, 'slow.

I like the chords, the general vibe, the lyrics - it all works for me.

I love that album

[Got Some]

I use to like "Gone" then I realised it's probably the reason "let it ride" was left off the album.

Now I'm not such a big fan.

The AOL version kicks ass. But that's about it

i dig it too but Gone just never gets off the ground for me.

[chewm]

I really like Gone.

Yes, it's very good.

[VinylGuy]

Its a weird one for me....i hated the first time i listen to ed´s delivery in vegas i think? Then the demo was kinda the same...and the band version...loved it. Then for a looong time i thought it was awful.
These days i like it.

[Bi_3]

These days i like it.

I disliked it until the WOR2 show in 2013 and something about that version changed my perspective on it. It's a solid 3 stars now.

[Kevin Davis]

These are some of my least favorite lyrics in the entire PJ catalog. "The lights of the city only look good when I'm speeding"; "take me for one last ride"; "the gas in my tank feels like money in the bank" -- these sound like taglines from a "Fast and the Furious" straight-to-DVD sequel.
