Future Days :throwup:

Clearly we haven't learned that Just Breathe was an Ed solo song that didn't belong on a Pearl Jam record? We needed to write the thing over again. I couldn't make out all the lyrics but it seems like the special sort of cheese only a rock star married to a model would be able to conjure up.

Could be from the "out of the furnace" stuff Ed did...

I hope so. Its nice and all but does not belong on a pj album again.

I don't think "Future Days" is that bad. It has a few moments I really like.

Its the modern PJ by numbers ballad on this album it appears...

Ill still put money on that it is from that movie.

Mosty, Id just be very surprised that this band would play 3 ( 2 completely new) songs from the album this early on....

As I mentioned in the other thread....its clearly Van Hagar. Hell, Mike played Eruption tonight.No wonder he's excited about this album. I mean except for the part where Ed sang the other new album track while the rest of 'Pearl Jam' took a piss break...

Future days sounds very thunder road, the piano version. I like it. Don't love it.
