The last 2 mins or so, when Ed goes full Daltrey, is just sublime. Proper top tier stuff that I didn't think they still had in them.

To me, this song is all Ed wants PJ to be.

And oh boy, they've succeeded here.

Hell of a song.

loved that lyric when I finally made it out especially in the context of the record and how it grasps for human connections as they fray around us

I think one of the reasons the lyrics on this album all seem so connected is because of the way it was made. It sounds like it all happened in a pretty massive flow of inspiration, obviously fairly quickly. That resonates with me as an artist, and is why I'm vibing so heavily with Stone when he gushes about doing it this way and wanting to do it this way again!

It’s official, the last minute of this song is my favorite thing on the entire album! Can’t imagine how fun that will be live. Hope I get it at Wrigley!

yeah, that would've been awful; everyone knows it's YouTube he needs for that

Got to Give remix / remaster. I don’t know what’s changed but it sounds great!

Is this secretly Trag’s YouTube channel?

the acoustic is more prominent, for sure; I think the drums have more "ring" to them

Got to Give instrumental. Jeff’s bass work shines through even more. It’s absolutely stunning.

So fun to play. Best bassline Jeff's written in ages, very Entwistle-esque.
