I was so much more excited for the BRY b-side

Ditto. BRY is a way cooler song.

Is this the first time they used strings in a song?

There’s a cello credited on Ten but doesn’t say which song. Jeremy?

Gawking me.

does the lost dogs version have re-recorded vocals?

i thought i recalled in the original b-side Ed's voice sounds lower

but maybe i am imagining it

Listened to this song last night. Have always loved it, but for the first time was really considering its creation...

There are all sorts of heavily processed instruments and other ambient sounds, really one of the most “produced” tracks in their catalog.

Who’s credited with what instrument?

jeff plays a stand up bass with a bow in the dead man walking concert ... hitting the bottom part of the strings near the bridge to get more harmonic effects

it emulates some of the sounds on the recording...

Yep, definitely in "Jeremy." You can hear it a bit more clearly on the rough mix that made its way online a little while back, and Rick Beato mentions it in his song analysis video.

This makes sense. I think the liner notes from Lost Dogs credit Ed with vocals and guitar, Jeff with bass, and Jack with percussion.

What a fantastic song. I remember coming home from a stay at my sister’s house and knowing that my “Off He Goes” single came in. Dead Man was great right from the first play. Very atmospheric and Eddie’s vocal track is great. I love how much bass there is in the song. Sonically it is very deep.

ive never liked this song very much: Music is good but I never found Eddie’s lyrics/performance engaging

[Clem Halibut]

Always liked this one and thought it would have fit nicely on No Code

Yeah it could take the I'm Open slot

Agree...Knowing now that they had left off "Black Red Yellow" , "Dead Man" , & "All Night" makes the inclusion of "I'm Open" all the more frustrating.
