GUYS, again, the comparison at this point in their career is VOODOO LOUNGE.

this is miles beyond that shit. they're 30 years in, coming off an average, by-the-numbers album and a TRUE low point single (CDM) and.. and... somehow came up with this! something they've literally never done before!

color me way more encouraged than i was just a few weeks ago.

don't look a gift horse in the mouth, this is good shit Jamily.
I don’t need context to justify calling this good. Its just good.
Im so turned on by you liking this.
Pretty sure most of us who follow the N&D sub forum feel this way.

I'm actually away for work at the moment (it's 1:30pm in the afternoon where I sit) but knew my wife was sitting in our home office. I remoted into my PC and started playing the song through the office speakers.

She guessed it was PJ straight away and actually really liked the song. But she thinks the song name sucks.

As a song I do prefer Mind Your Manners, Fixer, World Wide Suicide, and I Am Mine (at least as initial singles) but those are all carefully calibrated to land right in my wheelhouse.

But this feels much more like the song they needed to release at this moment
i think the outro's the best part of the song

Three single releases that are statements and direct challenges to fans. The pearl jam i fell in love with.
The statement in this case is "Stop Making Sense, now streaming on Prime Video"

Acceptably big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control

So save your predictions
And burn your assumptions
Love is friction
Rightful comfort

Endless equations
Internal persuasion
Doors open up
To interpretation

Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present
And the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

The looser things get
The tighter you become
The looser things get
The tighter...

Not one man
Can be greater than the sum
It's not a negative thought
Or a positive (positive, positive)

Falling down
Not staying down
Could've hold me up
Rather Brother? tear me down
Strong in the river(?)

Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present
And the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

Numbers keep falling off the _____ floor
We're all stuck in our boxes
When it's open(?) no more

Collecting up the forget-me-nots
Now we're crawling with the floor(?) now recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'coz they're out(?) of this world

I know the girls wanna dance away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Number's keep falling on the calendar's floor I think

And I think he might be saying drown in the river? Idk

the last two minutes - from that funky guitar riff on - is magic.

What's the word that sounds like a bleeped out f bomb at the beginning of the song?
