Seven O'Clock

[Norah]

With or Without You is a fantastic song and 7:00 is nothing like it.

7 o'clock in the morning,
got a message from afar;
down under an oasis
where there are dreams still being born
and summer spoke to winter,
relaying all-encouraging words
and I was fully grateful,
knew the messages were heard

moved on from my despondency,
and left it in the bed;
do I leave it there still sleeping?
or maybe kill it - better yet
for this is no time for depression
or self-indulgent hesitance,
this fucked up situation calls for all hands, all hands on deck

freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb;
take everything they take(th?) and you fight to keep that which you've earned;
saw the destination, got so close before it turned;
swim sideways from this undertow, and do not be deterred

floodlike dreams are drifting past,
all the lies we could've...


and then I lost it

[WaitingForBluey]

Only song on first listen that gave me shivers. Not sure I love the outro but it's beautiful up to that point.

[Hypnos]

The outro kinda kills it for me.

[Hypnos]

This is PJ doing a Killers's song.

[Vindicator]

the verses are extremely cheesy. the chorus is pretty nice. mixture of good and really bad on this track

[Kevin Davis]

This is so not springsteen in any sense of the word

Musically, I agree, but Eddie's definitely pulling from that pocket of his trick bag in the vocal delivery; I can hear elements of Springsteen's beatnik-y Greetings From Asbury Park style in places, though it's certainly filtered through Eddie's own lens and persona. In general there's a lyrical density to this album that nods more faithfully (and in a lot of ways more successfully) to that field of influence -- the Springsteens and Dylans -- than ever before. Not a bad thing at all in my book. I dig how this song toggles back and forth between that approach in the verses and the dreamier, more melancholic approach during the breaks.

I predict this song quickly becomes fertile "forgotten lyrics" territory.

[Freewheelin]

I really love this, beautiful in its simplicity and one of the more convincing melodies Ed has written in sometime.

I don’t get the springsteen ref, it reminds me of issac brock from modest mouse. The phrasing, the inflections, the vocabulary and the feel.

Anyone else hearing that

[warehouse]

sounds like the boys took an eddie vedder solo song and improved it. very pretty

[stip]

it struck me this morning that lyrically and sonically this is an inversion of sleight of hand

[injuddstree]

Ed over-sings early, but the second half of this song is outstanding.

[Anders]

This feels like it lasts forever.

[Ms Harmless]

currently falling in love with this song

[Anders]

Bottom three song for me so far.

[stip]

4 stars so far

[wilkins]

I wish Tom Petty sang this one slowed down a bit I think.. Ed just doesn't fit for me

The Tom Petty-esque section in the middle almost takes me out of the song at times.
