How long did it take for Running to get released from first appearing in the visualizer? One day?

Press this button

Press the button that is blue here so it's blue for you as well
Reload
Do all the things it's asking you to do

Go to sensors in this menu (the ... -> more tools menu)
Set orientation to portrait and then you can move around the camera

Or.... wait for someone to upload it

I've come to terms with it, we've got glam rock swing instead of jazz / country swing, it's fine and works better here than in previous songs (Speed of Sound comes to mind)

I said it’s trite, not wrong.Ms Harmless wrote:idk, I think "you're sufficient by yourself" is a good message even if it's delivered with a clichéDDWJMUVW wrote:It’s about what I expected. Could be a fun song and will hit home for me with a 6 week old girl.
The “you don’t need a man” line is trite. But, that’s Ed for ya.
I like the bass and the smidge of edge this seems to have. Maybe there will be an upside surprise once we hear the full thing.
It’s overused and cliched. I expect someone with his lyrical prowess to find a more unique way to deliver this message. That’s all….

This song calls for subtlety.
Matt, come on man.
It’s for the girls!

You can run this thing anywhere and hear it. I pointed it at a wall in my office and it played.
I have 2 daughters, probably still not my thing tbh. The bass sounds kind of nice.
Just a hunch, they’ll play a SS clip (edited) during the NCAA hoops final tonight and release the full song at midnight.

I hear tell his nickname in high school was Jackhammer Cameron
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

the way he plays Dave A stuff, with all its dynamic, spacial, ghost noted goodness, is... well, "a travesty" is a bit mean but it's definitely something else
