River Cross

[epilogue]

Matt getting a bit carried away on this. His contribution is totally unnecessary. On first listen it totally spoils it.

i like the understated drama of it. like a more communal long road

Oooh... interesting

[Ms Harmless]

I can get more of the rhythmic pulse a couple listens in; all the Matt doesn't bother me as much, and I love the subtle "jam" at the end which crumbles, again in a very Yield way

[evenslow]

this is so peter gabriel! love it.

kalimba is perfect for it.

god bless this production!

[bada]

this is so peter gabriel!

[Mike]

eddie even sounds a bit like gabriel on red rain

[tree_]

3.9 stars. This is the kinda song that works best for the band these days. Although I'd usually prefer a lower range for Ed, this kinda works here.

Is somebody gasping for air at the beginning of this one?

yeah good call

i really like this one. i feel like ed’s been trying for this for a while and they finally got there

[Ms Harmless]

I can't wait to listen to this again as I go to sleep tonight

[EJ]

this has a lot of the same cadence and pump from Better Days

[stip]

much better, though

There's so much of it I like. And then the drumming... it's like they drafted in Dale from Step Brothers.

As a "protest" song this is infinitely better than CDM. Very smart pivot.

[johnnyfixer]

Pump organ's been buried a little too deep in the mix imo. Still it's pretty good.

The rhythms don’t mesh as much as I need them to in order to really like this version. I also really want the band to open up for the last minute or so.

I had the exact thought the first time I heard the studio version of Speed of Sound, then it really grew on me.

When I listen on headphones it sounds like it’s Ed getting that pump organ going.

I’m probably wrong though.

Think that's it. Too repetitive to be someone's breath and it audible again in the quiet parts. Unless it's a shaker or something.

[Ms Harmless]

I hope the pump organ is just a little louder in the actual released mix

[jdopj]

This is a very emotional song without an ounce of cheesiness
I love it
