[hlniv]

Yup:

McCready further explains that he wrote the music for "Mind Your Manners" with the Dead Kennedys in mind, but other parts of Lightning Bolt pay tribute to their sometimes-collaborator Neil Young, particularly "Yellow Moon," which directly quotes Young's "Helpless."

"There's certainly a tip of the hat to Neil," McCready says. "That was a song that was initially taken off the first mixes, but I really, really wanted it on there. I just enjoyed the darkness of it, and I thought I did a pretty good lead on it. I worked hard on that; it's kind of a simple lead but I wanted it to give the song some brightness, kind of like what David Gilmour always did with Pink Floyd."

Yellow Moon is going to be the greatest Pearl Jam song of all time. Brendan didn't want it, Jeff wrote it and Mike likes his lead.

hopefully. Most of the stuff Jeff writes with acoustic for PJ seems to be pretty awesome (low light, nais, otherside)

some of the reviews are indicative of this

- Yellow Moon
Don`t know felt it was a bit boring.

Yellow Moon
F: It's a slower song, reminded me of Mark Lanegans Bleeding Muddy Water.
It had a few lyrics with metaphers of the sky & falling stars and stuff.
Otherwise, for the first listen there's not so much I could write about it.
C: In the verse it has a odd time signature: 6/8 - 5/8 ... I noted "echo-y vocals" and something like a dark "fairy tale".

Yellow Moon... It was a slower song. Don't remember a lot of details on it though.

Yellow Moon (3:47)
Here we arrive at my personal favourite song on the album. I was even
singing along halfway into the song, which prompted Mirella to shush
me. Not really sure what made me like the song so much but it was just
like seeing a great jacket in a shop and when you try it on it fits
like a glove. It could have been the words as well, which went
something like "Here far away, feel the earth vibrate, the moon
chasing shape", "Round we go, where we stop no one knows", "As the sky
grows dark, we're falling stars". The chorus goes "Yellow moon on the
rise" with the rise part being sung as riiiiiiiise. Looking forward to
hearing this song again soon.

Yellow Moon:
Another dark and atmospheric song. This will definitely be a grower, it has weird time signatures. Some great vocals and a really nice solo by Mike. Another song that I already want to hear again.

SONG 11 - YELLOW MOON
With the bright "Yellow Moon", Pearl Jam feel to their old grunge dejection. Eddie whispered in the gloom away endlessly syllables.

11. Yellow Moon
This song is very easy to immediately like. It starts out in a way I recognized from another song, but I could not pin down which one. ‘here far away one could feel the earth, moon changing shade and shin’. Long sung words, ‘roooouund we go where we .. stopping no one knows’. Nice image painting lyrics, sudden end. The song was not short, but it felt like it was much too short.

Quite an atmospheric track, and features some great guitar playing from Mike McCready. It feels like it’s trying to be a bit more epic than it’s perhaps capable of, but it’s definitely a massive step-up from the previous two songs. “One life, one grave”; Eddie at his least cheerful or his most philosophical?

Yellow Moon: A rather traditional ballad based on an acoustic guitar joined by an electric. The band plays it safe in it's comfort zone.

11 - 'Yellow Moon' - For us the most great song on the disc. An instant classic Pearl Jam that starts with a chord progression similar to 'Low Light'. Vedder's voice enters in a unsettling stretching. The warmth of the subject reaches the zenith both in the moments that Vedder exclaims 'Born To Rise' as in the various sequences featuring the solazos of McCready. These somewhat reminiscent of Pink Floyd, like the whole somewhat stylistic refers to 'Parting Ways' (or even 'Long Road'). It seems the perfect song to start the next concert tour of Pearl Jam. Total Joya. Peta Mike completely after 3 minutes.

God damn, I really hope you're not disappointed after putting this together.

If you keep saying this every day, like you have been, you'll be right eventually.

[lowercasejames]

Gee guys, don't get your hopes up over Yellow Moon or anything.

[stip]

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Gee guys, don't get your hopes up over Yellow Moon or anything.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Gee guys, don't get your hopes up over Yellow Moon or anything.

[Jorge]

You guys are terrible fans for wanting this to leak so badly. Don't you want your favorite band to sell more records?

[KurtLeon]

Why is everybody talking about Yellow Moon? Lets talk about Pendulum

[Sgt. Crackpot]

You guys are terrible fans for wanting this to leak so badly. Don't you want your favorite band to sell more records?
