This is one of Pearl Jams best flowing songs. One section flows to the next perfectly and smoothly. Very wave-y. Like a beautiful wave. Like being on a love boat with some nice waves going on. But also a bit of a storm. The music never feels forced in any way. Good song.

Would LBC be better or worse if it was called Singles Cruise Captain?

Change the line to “singles cruise captain,” and I already like the entire first verse quite a bit more

I heard the ticket prices this tour are intended to facilitate reworking it as "Luxe Boat Captain."

just gave this a relisten. there are elements I like, but as a centerpiece song it just doesnt carry its weight. And unfortunately it breaks up some of RA’s early momentum
