Yellow Moon on the rise.....

Yellow Moon is a great LB track but as others have said (and like most new PJ songs) could have been a better song with different production and a little 'grain'!

The original Drifting is great but I'm going to vote for YM for now..... but may change my vote!

That original Drifting is something else. I wonder if I should change my vote?

He's so capable of making music this affecting right now, but he doesn't do it. All his current mellow stuff is so treacly. And to think this was just a fan club b-side, an afterthought, and it's so effortlessly good.

Wow... it seems LBC has had a sudden surge of of love in the past few hours... I guess Yellow Moon [ain't] on the rise!

I realized recently that LBC is basically the same song as Lightning Bolt for me. Some really great parts mixed in with some really unfortunate choices. I'm always left with mixed feelings. I want to love both of these songs but I just can't. Poor song titles and all.

But this shouldn't even be close really. YELLOW MOON is a gem. Show some love.

LBC was losing with a large gap yesterday and now it is in the lead.... hope nothing fishy is going on ;)
I don't hate LBC but I do prefer both Yellow Moon and the original Drifting.

I am resisting the urge to change my vote to take this into overtime, despite LBC being the song I like least here by a wide margin
