Dance of the Clairvoyants

[stip]

yeah, I like it. gets better with each listen.

I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance...

much better line than the first instance

[Anders]

Stone said in the intro that Matt played the drums himself on this, even if the idea started out by using a drum machine, he then decided to drum like the machine himself.

Also, the line sounds like:

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to endure

The second time around, I mean.

I keep hearing that as well.

Yes

I definitely hear "ignore" the first time. Plus, it makes more sense - not that's necessarily a given with Ed.

The second one could be endure, for sure.

[EJ]

Fair enough - this is the only aging alternative band I am tracking so I can't really speak to any larger trends

Beck seems to be making somewhat similar career decisions these days, as an example. Jack White's last album was also heavily based in more atmosphere, texture, and rhythm on the last go around.

Like I said, I AM really enjoying it. I just don't want to see the hype train barrel away just yet. I'm already too late, aren't I?

Don't worry. RM knows how to stop a train when the time comes.

well, as soon as a dance line forms to this song in GA, it's over...

[stip]

I hear a lot of small varients in what is being sung vs. what appears in the lyrics, but that's par for the course (plus his annunciation has always obscured what he is actually saying)

[stip]

are we totally sure the lyrics posted here earlier are official?

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Habitman]

I've been standing here staring at my work computer with the biggest grin on my face. I know we grade PJ on a curve now but this song is fantastic. I am so happy they had this song in them. So happy.

[stip]

No, there’s a question mark in there

there's a few things there I think are wrong. First I thought maybe that ? was in the liner sheets. It looks like a screenshot of liner notes, but I don't know if anyone just created that.

Apple Music says ignore. The whole official lyrics are there.

I was thinking that was an official-looking-but-not-official stab at the lyrics.

Stoney on this fucking bass

[wilkins]

I really like this.

[i got bugs]

I think I'm mostly excited to find out is how this song will work as an album track. Has the potential to be a really interesting concept album.

This is what I'm really interested in

[dprival78]

hell yea. team loving this

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[dad]

Loving all the enthusiasm for this. Go team.

You beat me to it. Almost 30 pages, and this thread started at midnight.

I’m into this song.

can you post?

I listened on my headphones and can see why you all like it so much now. Last night I was listening on my phone's speaker and Ed sounded laughable. I'm still not completely on board but can see why you like it.

[dad]

Oh, good.
