Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
yeah, we're putting way too much credence into live long lyrics when we all know how well Ed remembers his own song lyrics.
he flubbed the first 3-4 lines of the second time they ever played MYM. had that been the first time we ever heard it, we'd be like, "jesus, ed's lost it. now he's just repeating lines by to back."

Absolutely. If anything it's a good speculative conversation to somewhat hold us over.bodysnatcher wrote:yeah, we're putting way too much credence into live long lyrics when we all know how well Ed remembers his own song lyrics.

Maybe the studio lyrics are wrong, and his live flubs are the real ones............has anyone ever researched this.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
that's why I tend to not think much about lyrics with live versions, although they can still give you a broad sense of the song.bodysnatcher wrote:yeah, we're putting way too much credence into live long lyrics when we all know how well Ed remembers his own song lyrics.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
I would probably think that "self realized" line being used twice in MYM was a flub if I had only heard it live.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
It's not used twice in the same chorus, is it? It's just the first line of the chorus.BurtReynolds wrote:I would probably think that "self realized" line being used twice in MYM was a flub if I had only heard it live.

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
yeah, but its still odd to me. Is it even a chorus? The repeat is awkward.harmless wrote:It's not used twice in the same chorus, is it?

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
Yes, it's a chorus. Listen again with that in mind and you might feel better about it. The MYM part is effectively the end of the verses / pre-chorus.BurtReynolds wrote:yeah, but its still odd to me.

kinda like in hiding, but reversed, with the "I swallowed..." parts coming after "I'm in hiding"

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt

Re: New Song: Lightning Bolt
It is kind of weird how it goes right from the first chorus to the bridge. I guess that's the Backspacer in this song; cut short to its bare essentials. I'm not sure when the world decided a verse 2 wasn't essential.

Then it becomes a simple stab at those that are unwilling to believe in nothing a sarcastic line with a really simple message. The lyric then becomes good or really good if you come from the same place as Ed.




While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.
