Song of the Moment: Insignificance

[EJ]

That ain't Insignificance. That's Wishlist!

I don't get it.

Caption on the Youtube clip. Right at the beginning

heh, wow.

[Thejambi]

I really think this song suffers live more than any other song in the catalog.

I agree. The thickness and ambience of the recorded version elevate it immensely.

[digster]

I think it's suffered alot since 2000 at live performances, and they've never hit the heights they reached with the studio version, but I still think we're talking about the difference between 'really, really great' and 'absolutely astonishing.'

This is the best song PJ has ever recorded, IMO, and it's been my number one for years now.

[melonhead4]

Gremmie has some binaural demos, insignificance sounds pretty much the same but less...spacey i think and its a little longer.

Yea the intro is a tad longer and it sounds more loose...The breakerfall demo is awesome....Eddie sounds almost robotic on it....

[mikejasond]

I actually really dislike the mix of this song, it's too grating IMO. I dunno what it is. The booming chorus gets on my nerves.

Also it kills me every time they do it live, and Eddie hits the "Immortality...." near the beginning and Stone (or Mike? Whoever) doesn't play the guitar wail from the solo. I sing it like every time and it's rarely there

That part is so cool it disappoints me that it only happens once in the song. I heard them do a live version once I think with an extra verse that did it again and it made me like it better.

LMAO I have no idea how I read this whole topic and thought it was about Immortality.

Does he really need three songs called Insignificance, Immortality, and Indifference?

Anyways, I meant Immortality <_< I was really tired yesterday >_>

[digster]

That would beat the shit out of the 'man' trilogy.

I laughed.

[harmless]

I thought they didn't like blake's mixes because they thought they didn't sound 'pearl jam' enough or something?

And then they made Backspacer.

3 albums and nine years later.

Are you saying backspacer sounds like pearl jam? Or that it doesn't? .....or neither

The bridge to this song is sex

That it doesn't, really. That if they were hung up on 'sounding like Pearl Jam'... should I take it to the bitching thread?

[stupidmop]

you could do. There's every chance I pulled that quote outta my ass though. And if I didn't, 9 years people change blah blah all that.

I never noticed before but the guitar eds playing during the verses have a kinda jaunty groove going on. Cool.

Yep. Really good, wake-up-next-to-a-farm-animal sex.

[stupidmop]

I mean...if that's what you're into...sure

I just visited my parents' new house in the sticks. It was right next to a field of sheep. I never realised how noisy they were, or that each of them had a different call, until the last couple of days. Some of them sound like sheep, but others just sound like men going 'MEEEEEEEEH' or women screaming.

Those were the cries of the carrots.
