Can't Deny Me

[VinylGuy]

Pearl Jam denied Can’t Deny Me for the new album. Chew on that!

Maybe Trump said something.

[OmegaprimeVKM]

Is it going to be a part of the forthcoming album? Like they said two years ago?

it will be forever on the lost last BO'B album....


BTW: reminder this news:

Maybe they didnt walk away from BO'B, but BO'B walked away from the business... ?

He must've heard the RM feedback for Lightning Bolt



...or needed sambuca money.

the chorus is aggressively bad.

[stip]

there were some ok musical ideas in you cant deny me but this is probably pearl jam’s worst song

Jan 14 2020: the day me and stip agreed on something pearl jam song ranking related

the MFS bridge is the best part of LB

just as the finger in the ass is the best part of colon cancer

lol August 2018 sometimes i just love me

[stip]

i wont lie. it played a small role in my board hiatus

[96583UP]

Revisiting this bad song for the first time in a while

God this sucks

it will all be worth it if this was the song we needed to get PJ to pivot in a different direction and ultimately convince China to stop burning coal

[96583UP]

i wont lie. it played a small role in my board hiatus

i took a sabbatical and am in a better place now

please stay

i won’t bite

[stip]

i meant you cant deny me - but glad to hear it

the chorus is aggressively bad.

The chorus is bad but to me the worst part is the middle 8

And the part where Ed sings "poi-SONNINGGGG"

[Jorge]

The only thing I like about this song is the extra percussion that runs throughout

[stip]

i like the melody in the first part of the chorus

[96583UP]

i meant you cant deny me - but glad to hear it

[96583UP]

I love Pho too

can't deny that, pho is good

What do you call a line outside the Vietnamese place? A pho queue!

If I ever make a joke this stupid, I hope they banh mi.

im in love with this post.

CDM did not stop american mass shooting violence but it did inspire a great run of food-related lyrical adaptations in this thread and it should be thanked for that

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Strat]

I like Jeff's bass lines a lot, but that's about it

I can barely hear a fucking bass line. The production is so bloated.

i think we're getting closer, but made a few tweaks

The best I can make out:

and now you want me to breathe
and be so grateful
oh, for thI HAVE RICH FRIENDS TOOe air that I need
don't make me pitiful (?)
and in the mornin' light
we're just the same, you and me
I'm oI WIPE MY ASS WITH GRAMMIESn the ghosts... (?)
a propensity to breathe

the higher, the farther, the faster you fly
you may bBUY MERCHe rich, but you can't deny me
got nothin', got nothin' but the will to survive
you can't control and you can't deny me
yourSURFS UP eyes are sick, they're sick and they're vile (?)
you can't deny me

try to talk down to me
my mind, it ain't so simple
wheSUSAN SARANDON IS MY FRIENDre's your vocabulary?
your ignorance is sinful
you plant your liar seeds
watch asWAVES WAVES WAVES the roots take hold
the country you are now poisoning
condition critical

the higher, the farther, the faster you fly
I knI LIVE IN HAWAII BUT AM FROM CHICAGO BUT AM FROM SAN DIEGO BUT AM FROM SEATTLEow it's true and you can't deny me
nothin', got nothin', you've got nothin' to hide
let the bullshit walk (?)
and you can't deny me
the higADMIRE MY CARSher, the farther, the faster you fly
your souls are sick and you can't deny me

you can deny me
you can deny me
CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND me
you can deny me

the higher, the farther, the faster you fly
you knoGO CUBSw you're sick and you can't deny me
got nothin', just nothin', you've got somethin' to hide
we see right through you and you can't deny me
darkness, darknBUY MERCHess, darkness and light
you can't deny me

Bump

the middle 8 is definitely the laziest thing they've ever done.
