Song of the Moment: My Father's Son

[mastaflatch]

This sounds even better on second listen!

Diggin' it.

How did the listening party people not come out raving about this one? Baffling.

yup, it's really really good.

How did the listening party people not come out raving about this one? Baffling.

At least for me, the first listen was jarring. I didn't know what to make of it. It seemed very wordy and I couldn't really digest what was going on.

But, the second listen was a completely different reaction. It hit me immediately.

So, I can understand why there wasn't a big reaction - positive or negative, just a lot of "need to hear this one again" type of comments.

[Strat]

This is so great. Its .... Oddball yet it goes places vocally and instrumentally that bring it all together and put it on the same page. Fantastic song. PJ being weird yet keeping it to what they know best...

[warehouse]

pretty awesomely all over the place w/ this one. i love the bridge. ed's vocal delivery is pretty intense.

[SaturdayNightSeizure]

I wonder is SaturdayNightSeizure has heard this yet?

Kind of reminds me of creeping death by metallica

[96583UP]

At 2:07, after the calypso bridge, there should be a searing guitar solo, and then another verse. not just calypso -> verse.

but we'll take it

[Acidfuel]

Love it.
The Bass sounds epic

[Chris_H_2]

This is the first PJ song in awhile where if someone told me that this was a leftover from the early to mid 90's that just surfaced, I would believe them.

it kinda reminded me of "alone" or "just a girl", but way better. he's got a weird vocal approach that we havent heard in a while

[SaturdayNightSeizure]

It's the riff from dusty by soundgarden

[AllNiteThing]

I come from a genius, yeah I am my father's son.
Yeah too bad he was a psychopath and now i'm the next in line.
And on her nest(?), dear mother, yes surely she's a work of art.
I never got top dollar but she gave us all a start.

Can i get a reprieve?
This gene pool drownin' me.
Can I beg a release?
I'm a volunteer amputee.
From the moment i fell,
I called on DNA.
Why such betrayal?
Got me tooth and nail.

Yeah how's about one conversation with nothing else left to be had?
Oh with this, your young long lost son and he's never had dear old dad.
Oh forget the insemination and for that i'm supposed to be glad?
And what a pity you left us so soon to climb your mountain of regret.

Can i get a reprieve?
This gene pool dark and deep.
Can I beg a release?
Can I volunteer amputee?
From the moment i fell,
I called on DNA
Why such betrayal?
I gotta set sail.

heee yoooo
heee yoooo

All the bright lights shining, as your trying to breathe in and out.
Cannot forget you're hiding, collecting wounds left unhealed.
When every thought you're thinking sinks you darker than the new-moon sky.
The far away lights rising in the whites of your eyes.

Raargh

Now Father you're dead and gone and I'm finally free to be me.
Thanks for all your fucked up gifts, for which I've got no sympathy.
I'm living in a war torn place in the bounds of fifth syphmony.
Thanks for this and thanks for that I gotta let go your legacy.

Can i get a reprieve?
This gene pool drownin' me.
Can I beg a release?
Can I volunteer amputee?
From the moment i fell,
I called on DNA.
Why such betrayal?
I gotta set sail.

hee yoo
yeah yeah

Made some changes based on what I hear. Still not sure about that 3rd line.

[McParadigm]

Can't we just pretend he was singing nonsensical gibberish?

Ugh.

I liked it on first listen, but was also a little jarred (I am hearing it all for the first time right now). It's very different, but can tell by the third listen I'll really enjoy. I am quite enjoying thus far that this album is going to be a grower - at least for me.

[Neo]

Now THIS is a cool song
Loved the groove on first listen, will be one of my favorites on LB.
Raw sounding Pearl Jam is what i love the most.

Great 1-2-3 combo on the start of this album!

[Pine tree]

always dreamed of Jeff playing like this!!!

[EJ]

I keep coming back to this song. Makes me want to move.

[evenslow]

I keep coming back to this song. Makes me want to move.

I agree with you but I also want to see twice as much this gif around here.

[Dugg]

I keep coming back to this song. Makes me want to move.

I agree with you but I also want to see twice as much this gif around here.

I just noticed the dude in the red hat ... takes it to another level. This song is the tetas.

[stupidmop]

This is still cool. The lyrics are eh, and that bridge is a little wtf but I can see past that.
