Oh, wonderful. I'm really looking forward to hearing it now.

Who wrote Sirens? Is it another in a long line of Vedder snoozers?
You mean this is the first hyperbolic comment comparing Sirens to Bon Jovi that you've read? Oh boy. Mike wrote it.

For the people still talking about Dave's Song, go back a few pages and look closely:

It says "Dave's Song (Don't go on me)", so it's clearly just a working title for "Go".

Right, but nevertheless, I believe the speculation (that's all we've got at this point, am I right?) remains that 'Dave's Song' is indeed 'Go.'

On closer inspection (my dad has access to FBI face recognition software), it's "Angel."

Well, that ring-binder sticker certainly has a distinctive face.

Did Eddie call his truck Angel? The one he did not want to go on him?

Can anyone hum Dave's song for us who haven't heard it?
Is is supposed to be Go?
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

True, it shares the same riff, only with different chords. It's like WWS done the right way. :P

Not so much over here.
Maybe just give it a break and come back to it when the record's out. I don't think any song could hope to survive the amount of plays I've given these ones. I'd better stop soon tbh.
Oh, I don't think that's the problem.

I heard the song perhaps three or four times on the day it was released then once again about two or three days ago. That's been it (and it was enough, frankly).
It took about ten listens for me before I stopped hating it. Now i like it quite a bit

Getaway > WWS in the same way that Go > Dave's Song.

Discuss.
