Eddie Vedder - Earthling

[Release_Me]

I absolutely agree with that, and I'd like to think that's where Ed's head is too

I don’t remember which interview it was but regarding forgiveness and suicide, Ed has said “I’m not there yet”

The lyrics are perfect. They explore all the emotions involved

It was in the NYT interview published recently where Ed said something like this. The part where the interviewer and him engage in a discussion on suicide.

Yeah he was just being totally honest and open about all the different feelings one goes through when someone takes their own life. It's not that they are wrong or right, they just are. And you have to find a way to work through all of it.

Not sure what to make of this yet.

Those chorus lyrics reminded me of this:

I just revisited this again and I hate Ricky Gervais as a person but goddamn this is funny as fuck!

Bahahaha!

Oh fuck, now I’ll never be able to listen to Long Way without hearing “free love on the free love freeway”.

Come to think of it, that might be an improvement to the lyrics…

[Ms Harmless]

these lyrics are literally more complex

"she's dead!"

"no, she's not dead"

[Ms Harmless]

I grew up going to a very culty church in Slough Trading Estate where The Office was filmed lol, it looked just like this warehouse with a green room and everything

[Anders]

"She's dead"
"She's not dead"

[Ms Harmless]

everyone's faces looking at him

[guitar_davey]

actually the best part is the boogie-woogie "Alive" jam, what a great callback

I don't recall who first shared that Alive observation, but I hear it more with every listen. I am pretty into this song now. I think I have it 5th on the album (I don't really rank On My Way for whatever reason)

[guitar_davey]

"I only play songs I've written myself so..."

This version of the Office is my favourite comedy ever, and this is the best episode in my opinion. So so good.

[guitar_davey]

"She's dead"
"She's not dead"

"She's gonnnnnnnne."

"That's lunch."

[Anders]

I understand that people have different taste in music, but for me Picture may be the worst song ever released that Eddie sings on.

I think that's a lot better. Difference between a 0 star rating, and a 1,5.

Fuck...Ed (vaxxed/Boosted) thought Covid was going to kill him.

And otherwise might have.

Can't deny me is a 0. Picture is different, it's not what we should expect, but it's not a 0 star song by any means.

I feel like the closing trifecta of Picture, Mrs Mills and On My Way is really well thought out
