I knew this reminded me of something non-PJ!

the Across a Wire: live in New York City version of Counting Crows' "Have You Seen Me Lately?"

I don't know how to link it

I did not have high hopes when I read this was a 6 minute Eddie solo acoustic track.

Pleasantly surprised... this is a standout track for me.

The first thing that hit me about this one is Ed going all acoustic Led Zep in this one. Such a great recording. Can finally hear the strings.

Having trouble placing which Zep song - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp?

Mike wrote:Huh, from the reviews I expected this to be one of the worst song but now I think it's one of the best. Feels like Eddie in Riot Act songwriting mode but in a sunnier/lighter version.
i agree with this. I thought it was going to be The End or something like that, and its just so good. It has a Hold On acoustic feeling too..

I really like this one. Damn. There's such an in-room feel and brightness to it. It's about time.

the only way i can describe this song is if i was at an ed solo show and he played this song exactly the same way it appears on the album, i would be thinking "this is nice, and i can't wait to hear what the full band does with this song."

it's 6 minutes of a space I want to stay in. i lose sense of time with that perfectly mic'd vox/guitar combo.

it's a warm, plain acknowledgement of something ephemeral but final.

It really doesn't feel like six minutes. I listened to it while shoveling this morning and it was beautiful.

High or low, try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had led
