Eddie Vedder - Earthling

[Thurman Murman]

Maybe i just set my expectations about as low as they can go after the live take but i actually didn't hate this.

[Strat]

There’s some beatlesque instrumentation.

"Like siamese twins, I can feeeeel every one of your senses"

"Like siamese twins, I can feeeeel every one of your senses"

Please tell me this isn't real. I haven't listened yet.

[Ms Harmless]

that line is the worst part of the song, I wonder if he knows conjoined* twins are real

[liebzz]

It’s not as bad as I initially thought - there’s more to it than I thought, but I am still not sold.

and I thought "Siamese" twins wasn't PC?

it's not the correct term, no; conjoined is

[Ms Harmless]

I'm pretty sure that "Siamese" comes from old circus freak shows

I listen to mostly folk and singer-songwriter music these days, and gravitate towards artists with extremely smart, memorable, quotable lyrics...so maybe my standards are a bit skewed. But it's kinda shocking how blah the lyrics are in his recent solo stuff. No specificity, no poetry, questionable grammar. Just a mish-mash of words and vague feelings.

[Jorge]

There's something about the verse melody and lyrics that makes it sound like he's making it up on the spot

[McParadigm]

siamese twins

The haves have not a clue

I had this exact thought.

I hear a little bit of "Real Love" in there.

Other than that though, not really digging this one. Too breathy, over emotive, mostly blah-ish music, combined with weak lyrics ("not got half") and yeah, this will be a skipper for me.

Long Way, on the other hand, has grown quite a bit on me. Helped seeing him perform it live, where it really shined.

[Monkey_Driven]

There are brief moments of potential here, but that's about it.

[scrub12]

I don’t know what I expected, but I didn’t expect 5 minutes of it.

[Anders]

Better as a single, than it was live.
