Eddie is not the star here. I kind of want him to get out of the way.

Is the line "To and fro / the pendulum throws"? That makes no sense. Pendulums swing.
I dunno, you could say "throws" in the sense that it's propelled forward.

This kind of reminds me of something that would've been on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack.

Especially the beginning sounds like Ten-Vs era Pearl Jam to me. Mostly because of the vocal delivery.

Edit: This doesnt belong here. I`m commenting on yellow moon.

I find this one pretty refreshing. This album is a difficult one for me... it's like it snuggles up to me all warm and comfortable at times and then other times my arse is sore from O'Brien's sodomy of me and this really weird television theme music that assaults my ears.

This should be the last song on the album. In the middle ... it just doesn't fit.
