There's just absolutely no comparison between this and Future Days, for example.

LEAVE FUTURE DAYS ALONE!!!!!!!!

Post by **Jorge** » Fri May 16, 2014 1:40 pm

Geez, I'm pretty sure I prefer "Future Days" to this. At least "Future Days" sounds like a song with some level of craft, and not just him vamping some nonsense "homanaboba yabadabeeba" lyrics over a pretty rudimentary minor-chord progression

Stip, I mean in the way he approaches that song compared to this one. I don't hate FD, it just doesn't make me feel much. While listening to this, you actually get the impression that there's something at stake. With FD, it's just a pretty little song sung predictably, the way any number of singers could have sung it.

Unused lyrics in Eddie's notebook:

"One, two, three, and four / All holding hands walking out the door"

"I never believed in love / Until you came and swept / All my cobwebs away"

"Love / It's love"

"As the sun rises in the east / You'll be waiting for me in the west"

"Never knew I could feel / The love we have is so unreal"

"Lover / Love her"

"All those dreamless nights / Were waiting for your light / To scare away my past"

"Alone now and I'm not sure / Who I am anymore / Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?"

"I was a bridge / Suspended over the ocean's waves / Taut / Until the earth gave way / And I fell into your arms"

"Man's final stand / On the shoulder's of his lover / I'll hover/ Above my past"

That actually sounds like the title to a new PJ song.

There's a very real chance that Future Days is my least favorite song released by a band that I at one point genuinely loved. I can't think of something I like less off the top of my head.

This one was hard to swallow, but it was for kids.

Please don't insult "Furry Happy Monsters" by comparing it to "Future Days".

And I was just about to create my own Christmas Single:

1. Future Days
2. Furry Happy Monsters

Hidden Track: Betterman (Live)

Post by **Jorge** » Fri May 16, 2014 8:11 pm

My favorite part is when the monsters get sad.

I like it when Stipe tells them they can be happy again, and they go apeshit.

And if he combines his love of writing about love with his love of cash:

"One, two, three, and four / All holding bars of gold walking out the door"
"I never believed in credit / Until you came and swept / All my demand deposits away"
"Cash / It's Cash"

"Lover / Love Hermes"
"All those caviarless nights / Were waiting for your wife / To spend away my cash"
"Valet-less now and I'm not sure / Where my Ferrari is anymore / Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?"
"I was an IPO / Suspended over the NASDAQ's waves / Taut / Until the market ran away / And I fell into a ton of cash"
"Man's final stool / On the shoulder's of his pilot, Launchpad McQuack / I'll helicraptor / Above your 10C member house"

Found these lyrics for "I Won't Hold On". Pretty sure they're mostly incorrect but still:

Speak your mind!

I can't take any more
In my home, on the floor
A blind house, no walking while
Nothing is as hard to say goodbye

I won't hold on
I am here
I won't live another live in indecision
I won't hold on
I have begun
Like scissors in an incision

Come so far
Hold me there
Don't let go, it's you, that hand
I can't take this
I can't hear this
You can leave it
Like my spirit
I won't need to last for long
I don't care light, I often throw
I can say nothing is
Nothing hears, nothing here
Nothing is, nothing is
Nothing is, nothing ahead

So turns out he played this again the next night, only it was a different song with different lyrics. Glen Hansard did backing vocals. Didn't like this one as much as the first. Lost some of the raw intensity of that version.
