Song of the Moment: Yellow Moon

[stip]

wow, this one was REALLY good on the second listen. Biggest jump

[McParadigm]

One of the best things they've got, post Riot Act.

[BurtReynolds]

I think this one is pretty spectacular on second listen. Fuck Sirens, this should be the single if they want to go this route.

[PHATJ]

It really is fantastic.

[stupidmop]

Does anyone else hear a similarity with the very start of this and sirens? It sounds really similar to me, i keep thinking sirens is about to start.

The chords on the chorus sound really familiar. Like some movie song.

Imagine if the guitar really did sound like NAIS like that one review said. welp.

I really dislike that piano in the back


We need one of these for McCreaaaaaddyyyyyyyyy too

The piano in the back of this one sounds very like the piano in Lowlight.

I guess the difference is ive never noticed the piano on lowlight ....i'll check that out later lol.

[Thejambi]

What would you do If I sang out tune?

[McParadigm]

You...haven't?????

At one point it's almost the only instrument playing.

[harmless]

yeah, this is another really good song. good work whoever insisted this be on here.

Mike!

[Coach]

Need lyrics. Like this one.

[Kevin Davis]

Right down to the phrasing, the "ye-hellow moon on the rise" is a direct echo of Neil Young's "Helpless." A deliberate reference, I suspect.

I don't know what to say.

I always focus on the vocals/guitar.

I thought that was an organ.

Am i going insane?

I'll go lie down.

Oh the bridgeish? yeah. Yeah i dont like it on this though. Welp.

Eddies vocal runs beyonce shit is bugging me on this. No ooo--ooo--ooonne knoo--oo--oooows
And i know he's saying yellow moon, but i keep hearing/thinking 'Bad moon'

[Tuolumne]

Total standout on early listen. Neil Young and REM hybrid filtered through Lowlight. This is the one which transported me to another place, felt like I was in Arizona or New Mexico out in the desert at sunset. Love it.

I was expecting to hear this comparison, and then didn't.

Didn't Mike or one of them reference a nod to Helpless during those interviews?

[Kevin Davis]

I don't think the song really sounds like Neil Young at all. But I'm pretty sure Eddie is directly and deliberately quoting the lyrics.

[LikeLukin]

This reminds me of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Didn't he already do that with The Who in Inside Job?

[warehouse]

pretty good song. parts of it remind me of low light and hard sun.
