If it's real, I'm none the wiser about what it's meant to represent. The red spot was hardly an 'Aha!' moment.

If its real, seems like a safe bet that the red spot is the sole bullet in the chamber. I like the name of the song, sounds like something Jeff would come up with. But, I'm not convinced its real.

pulling that discussion out in the first place was the most impressive feat of mod engineering I've ever done. Don't take this away from me, strat.

Wasn't part of that featured in Single Video Theory? It sounds very familiar to me.

Yup. I'm really scared to see what could happen when it gets the full band treatment though. Could go either way.
I think they could get it right with the guitars, but in my mind the rhythm is quite specific so Matt has exactly 1 ways of getting it right. Or 2, tops. That makes me nervous.
I'm assuming this will turn into some kind of poppy song like undone or anything in that vein. It could be ok.

I was seeing it as a kind of country-esque song with acoustic guitars, a nice lead slide guitar and a skiffle beat on the snare drum played with brushes. But Matt never uses brushes anymore, so...

He gives some insight at the end of that clip about the time he left Pj.
