Seven O'Clock

[Mike]

huh, I like Thumbing My Way a LOT more than Seven O' Clock. Not even comparable.

[Rob]

I love TMW and 7:00, seem like completely different songs to me.

[Thurman Murman]

I would almost think a song like Amongst The Waves or Infallible are more comparable to Seven O'Clock...in the sense that i think the intention was that they would all be mid album anchors/anthems, etc.

Seven O'Clock however blows the other two out of the water.

[lecherouslittlestump]

7 O'Clock is leagues better than tuneless, plodding Thumbing My Way

Yeah those feel like the closest comps. Thematically similar, too

I like all 3 but seven o’clock is the best of the group

I might have missed this, but what's the best take on "there's still a fire in the engine room... knows relief will be coming soon"??

Drumpf administration is chaos ... Biden will win the upcoming election

[McParadigm]

It’s just a great metaphor for the persistence of hope

[stip]

yup, enduring because you know if you keep going someone else will pick up the banner (this recurs at the end of retrograde ‘could be thunder...or a crowd’ and river cross

"He's nearly 74, he can't live that long anymore. Plus, there seems to be a virus ongoing in China. Who knows it gets to him."

this song is guaranteed to remain relevant for at least the next 5 years

[Got Some]

This one really clicked tonight. These lyrics are awesome.

The last minute and a half is a GIGATON highlight

[Rob]

Who Ever Said has become my favorite on the album, but I think I'm pretty sure this has become #2 for me. I give WES the advantage on music/tone, but I think WES, Dance, and 7:00 all have top tier lyrics for PJ. I feel like 7:00 is a song that would fit on the classic rock stations that persist (and that I"m still fond of!), except for those great lyrics. Either way, the "freedom" & "butterfly" verses are as good as any lyrics in Eddie's history.

This song reminds of Go. It is the vocal cadence.

[guitar_davey]

This song reminds of Go. It is the vocal cadence.

My initial thought was confusion, but I hear what you mean.

[Bammer]

This song reminds me of Go. In that it’s the best song on its album.

[bodysnatcher]

This song reminds me of Go. In that I'm gonna mosh so hard to it in concert.

[bthunders]

This is one of my favorites on the album, only behind Comes Then Goes. Love the vocal cadences in the verses.

[verb_to_trust]

I sincerely hope I never hear this song again in my entire life

[Got Some]

Verses r like a quicker Unthought Known with a chorus that are like Sleight Of Hand. Throw in a bit of Army Reserve in between.

Followed by a big Into the wild style outro.


I wish this one had a different title “Mutant Messages” “Lost Eloquence” or “Death To Despondency”
