Song of the Moment: Sleeping By Myself (Pearl Jam)

[solace]

this sounds like Pearl Jam covering Guster...

and while i love Guster...

i also really dislike Ed's double tracked vocals

[solace]

It sounds like BO'B wanted them to write something like that train song 'soul sister' or whatever it's called. That's what I think it's going to bust into

nailed it.

[harmless]

i honestly wish this song was country tinged, it's not

It is. A little bit. Matt's playing a country shuffle and there's some slide guitar going on.

Yeah there's a country shuffle as I'd hoped. It's country-tinged, but in a Kings of Leon washed-in-reverb way. I'm going to go against the grain and say I'm happy with that.

[solace]

i'd have loved the twang from 'Down' sound on this one.

[stip]

okay, was this worth people bitching about it?

[stip]

also not what I was expecting. The start reminds me of some smashing pumpkins song. A mellon collie era b-side. Fuck, which one.


I like this one.

[solace]

if you liked Ed's solo uke album, you'll probably like it.

i didn't like that album at all, so...

[stip]

okay, this song didn't need that little solo. Otherwise I like the cheerful little shuffle in this one.

i didn't like that album at all, so...

wasn't a big fan of that album, but loved this song.

[stip]

some of the outro flourishes weren't necessary either.

wasn't a big fan of that album, but loved this song.

other than the songs he's played with PJ, i couldn't really tell you what songs i liked/disliked, but this song doesn't do a thing for me in either arrangement.

funny thing is, save for 2-3 songs, i ADORED Into The Wild.

[stip]

me too.

[solace]

not really sure why they felt the need to include the uke on this version of this song too?

i thought if they'd done something cool with the arrangement i'd be ok with them including it, but it's not a very interesting arrangement at all.

[stupidmop]

....i....kinda like it

It reminds me of around the bend and wishlist for some reason. I can imagine 98 ed singing this, i dont know.

Its beachy.

I really like it and its making me laugh that i do.

[Jorge]

It's definitely not terrible.

[solace]

i love how that's now a compliment

[harmless]
