I don't know, it's not that I don't like SW, but it kinda makes me wanna watch Pocahontas.

Yeah this thing is holding up. Seems like it's in a good position on the album as well. I'm guessing that section could use the brightness this song is pew-ing out like so many rainbows.

If this song was a person it would be a perky big-twitted wench.

Getaway - a rather classy lady who waxes.
MYM - some heavily-tattooed tramp with a penchant for getting slapped during coitus.
Sirens - a yummy mummy who wistfully reflects that she needs a toyboy. She cries when she orgasms.
LB - a tigger-like bouncy "oh golly gosh gee" happy lady from the mid west.
LTRP - a drunken slag. Not looking for Mr Right, more Mr Right Amount.

I'm pretty happy with this one in the context of latter day Pearl Jam. I just wish I didn't have to use such a qualifier.

I've been using that qualifier since S/T.

I just can't seem to really get into this one. The second half is much better than the first. Mike's soloing is really solid.

I really don't like the "now, now, now", "drown, drown, drown" repetitive bits. They just don't sit well with me.

Uberlin is a much better song.
