Ive seen people imitate 90s Eddie Vedder. This is the first time I've seen anybody imitate modern Eddie Vedder. It's so bizarre.

If this is the weirdest track on the album, it's cool they released it as the first single. Even if the rest are more traditional PJ, I hope they're just as good.

Closing in on a million views between the two (audio only + Video) official Pearl Jam Youtube vids. Not sure what this means... if its good or not but just thought it was worth highlighting.

This song starts out so innocent, then quickly fucks you up.

EJ wrote:Will this song be a real sonic outlier on this album surrounded by a lot of latter day PJ-malaise or did they actually achieve something with this album, and this song is a solid representation of what's to come?
Stone apparently described it as a bit left field on the album, but I'm hoping the artistic process that produced it carries through. If it did we'll have a great record
yeah i'm hoping it's akin to no code in which i'm open or who you are or whatever would be considered the left flank but the rest of the album followed through on a similar commitment to a more open-ended, exploratory songwriting process.
Absolutely. I was encouraged by Stone’s description of the songwriting process for DOTC, and hope the other songs were crafted in a similar vein.
