Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Django Butterworth]

When I listen to Let the Records play, I hear sitcom theme song for some reason...

[Iowaska_Experience]

But if you're gonna promote during the playoffs, wouldn't you want to include the single?

I would think so.

Perhaps that was Track 4 that we didn't get.

That was probably Mind Your Manners. Original leaker on Phish forum said MYM was included.

[Gern Blansten]

Can anyone hit me up with a link? would appreciate it

You can hear a tiny clip of song 4 at the end of LB...it doesn't sound like MYM

[sward]

I suspect we will see Lightning Bolt as the next single.

Getaway

totally. i took a little drive at lunch with the intent of listening to all these songs at high volume. getaway got repeated a few times.

liking it lots. i'm very encouraged about the album, especially since these are the most easily digestable tracks.

This might be a bad idea , but could a mod make a Lightning bolt lyric page and lock it so we can't post 700 pages of BoB debate drummer debate

[harmless]

I suspect we will see Lightning Bolt as the next single.

My guess as well.

"Every bone is naked in this town."

Great line.

I don't think that's the line... I think it's "every boat is leaking in this town"

This is what I got for Getaway lyrics (PS there's def a theme here):

Everyone’s a critic, looking back at the river, every boat is leaking in this town
Everybody’s thinking that they’ll all be delivered, set in a box like lost and found
But, I found my place, and it’s all right… we’re all searching for a better way
Cause if it’s off my plate, it’s all right.. I got my own way to believe
Find a lighthouse in the dark, stormy weather, we all could use a sedative right now
Holyrollers sitting with their backs to the middle, the only thing that’s sinking is the bow
And if you want or have to pray, it’s all right, we all be thinking with our different brains
Cause if it’s off my plate, it’s all right.. I got my own way to believe
It’s ok… sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith, in no faith
Mine is mine and yours won’t take his place, now make your getaway
Science says we’re making love like the lizards, try and say that fossils are profound
Someone says that we are not allowed to consider, that …. (?)
But, I found my place, and it’s all right… I’m bearing witness to some stranger days
Cause if it’s off my plate, it’s all right.. I got my own way to believe
It’s ok… sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
There’s no way, mine is mine and yours won’t take his place, now make your getaway
It’s ok… sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith, in no faith
There’s no way, mine is mine and yours won’t take his place, now make your getaway
It’s ok… sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
God saves, mine is mine and yours won’t take his place, now make your getaway

Ya I did the same thing it is driving me nuts

[Jorge]

I still can't get a handle on swallowed whole

No surprise that that's the one I like the most

[oneway23]

Trying to come to terms with the fact that Eddie and the Pearl Jams are now fully entrenched in their later period via Springsteen/solo Townshend mode.

More as things develop...

Track order for the promo CD is:

1. Getaway
2. LB
3. LTRP
4. ?? [MYM]
5. Swallowed Whole

You do hear a snippet of the next song after LB, but we're suspecting it's the next album song that got included for whatever reason (bad copy job); i.e., Infallible.

I thought it was that because there's later talk about lizards making love and fossils. The line has sexual innuendo and calls to mind dinosaur fossils. But I don't know, it's Ed.

I might support this.

I'm a little surprised it wasn't the lead single...

There's also a boat theme throughout though: river, lighthouse, bow, etc.

It's climbing up there for me too. And you were right that the keys are lovely on that LB bridge.

Yeah, true. Still, it's one of the more interesting ambiguous lyrics...
