Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
I've just realised: on the part where he sings "And when the lightning strike sets you free", it's the same chord progression (I think, or similar) to the bridge in Light Years. No wonder I liked that part, I really like Light Years.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
I always hear 'do the lightning strike' . Which brings to mind some kinda 60s dance move like 'the swim' or ' the monkey'.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
That works. I actually wish PJ would do another two "Do The..." songs, so we could have a 50s dancehall trilogy.

Lightning Bolt is nowhere near as bad as Future Days.

Alright, you lot have softened me up a bit. Let's hear the studio version. I'm almost ready to accept a reeeeal possibility of it not sucking too much.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
Among those who have posted their views in this thread, I think I was probably the one who liked LB the most from first listen. It has grown on me more since then and even when I don't listen to it for a few days, the verses seem to be stuck in my head. Haven't heard a more infectious tune from PJ in ages. I'm a sucker for such songs; uplifting music combined with a not-so-happy theme (as I interpret the lyrics) is stuff that PJ is really good at.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.
