Waiting For Stevie

[Leatherhead]

This song has grown on me a lot. Took me a bit to really get a handle on it.

[Matters]

At 3:28, the way Ed vocally brushes off “and not feel” as he sings for the last time is vintage.

[stip]

yea thats a moment. because it starts in such an elevated place and stays there there are fewer dynamic shifts and these smaller, subtler moments become more important

[injuddstree]

A riff from the No Code sessions! Hot damn.

[Ms Harmless]

hopefully that puts to rest the "fabricated story about the riff" suspicions

[stip]

im glad they kept it. that wasnt the right album for it

[Birds in Hell]

Ed and the band's PR team furiously workshopping a new version of the Waiting For Stevie origin story.

(No, I haven't listened to the interview.)

Did you guys hear the long lost Indian Style performance of Waiting for Steviethat just uncovered!?!

Stip and his PR team desperately scrambling to recover this song from the wreckage of conspiracy theorists

[stip]

andrew watt wasnt even born yet when that song emerged fully formed from Eddie’s mighty head - Athena style!

[Ms Harmless]

is andrew watt even born now? what if he's a hologram, AI? what then?

A riff from the No Code sessions! Hot damn.

Knowing that now, I can hear similarities between the Dead Man riff and WFS, albeit one is played on acoustic.

Working title: "Waiting For Jeff"

[Strat]

I love hearing stuff like that. Just some dude whos been playing his guitar forever and finally was able to find a spot for a random riff he's been playing laying on the couch for 25 yars

Haha

[VinylGuy]

If you listen to the little guitar riff he plays at Stern; it does sounds like something closer to Sometimes

[Habitman]

Should have named the song “Stevie”

[stip]

hearing that drums/vocals only video helped me appreciate how slow this song moves, and how matt speeds it up coming out the bridge
