Re: Swallowed Whole
The main riff reminds me of the Who. I like it.

Re: Swallowed Whole
I've just realised why I think "A Bug's Life" when I hear this song.
Baba O'Riley. That song was on all the trailers. This one has that jubilation to it.

Re: Swallowed Whole
Love this one, my favourite from the album so far.
I love the way Ed stutters, particularly the way he says the word "drown". Ju-ju-Drown drown drown

Re: Swallowed Whole
Finally!
I knew I heard that 'I could feel the Sun, I could see the sound' part somewhere, but couldn't put my finger on it.
Here it is:

MYM, Getaway and Swallowed Whole have already met my ideal expectations for this album.

Maybe they had different ad clips in Europe?

Re: Swallowed Whole
Found it on YouTube and it specifically mentions that it was being released at "Thanksgiving" so it had to be a US trailer. Don't remember the use of Baba at all.harmless wrote:Yes, possibly, which is why I have the association in my head and you don'tmray10 wrote:Really?

Terrible trailer, too.

This is actually the first time I've heard PJ sound euphorically *happy* and actually believed them.

Someone posted that there was a point this song stopped being an ITW song and became a PJ song (c. 1:17) and that moment is amazing.

Re: Swallowed Whole
This one reminds me of a song from Into the Wild. Not sure of the song off hand, but it's like they added electric guitar to it and not much else.

Re: Swallowed Whole
It's the "not much else" which makes it great.
