depending on how the LB stuff settles, this could remain pj's last truly great song, as far as tunes on studio LPs.

When the album came out, and the few months after, I never gave much time to this song. I was like "Yeah, OK, well done".

Every time I've spun RA since then, it stands out. Fantastic song.

Totally 5 stars for me. One of my top 5 PJ tunes for sure. Love everything about it. Benaroya version is particularly killer.

Everything about this song is perfect. It has melancholy, lethargic tenderness and beauty in spades. I don't care about Mike solos, on the whole, but I really care about this one.

I understand why people would be really into this one. There's a nice atmosphere, Eddie sounds good, mike is great at the end. But I just find this song boring.


Like 1/2 Full, this is a song where I love most of its predecessor songs and for a long time I thought I loved this one, until I realized one day that its the idea of this song I love, not the song itself

I love the loose feel of this song. It feels like a laid back, melancholy recording after the guys drunk a bottle of bourbon, and are just chilling out at 2am. It's beautiful.

And also... Matt in this song :shock: I'm baffled that he can play with so much jazzy, shuffling, brushed sensitivity, and yet hasn't since. Every time I hear this song I'm like WHY. It's a performance to rival Jack Irons' most careful moments.

Stone should write all their acoustic songs. (Ok, and Jeff) Everytime Eddie comes in with a new Future Days they should replace it with a Stone song except if it's as good as Man Of The Hour.

4-5 stars for this one.

ive always thought this would be a good show opener, nice and mellow with a little bit of a build to it, thats why i used it as the opening song on my playlist during the first PJ tourney

They've written some really good songs since this one, but this is the last 5-star song they've written. It's got an excellence that sneaks up on you.

I'm usually a bit bored by this one. Though I really liked when they opened the Chicago Vic show with it.
