Red Mosquito

Oh im loving that Stone´s track...yeah, the groove...the vocals...super cool.

One listen, not on headphones. Fine enough B-side quality song at first blush. Too true that fades too soon. Power of suggestion, maybe, but I think I could feel the Let It Ride vibe there as it briefly breaks out before it ends.

Lots of cool artist too in the album. Ill check them out later...This Jeff song is super weird too...loving it. I already saw the video premiered on Ohana so its not a novelty, but a cool song.

Enjoyed it on first listen. Definite Riot Act vibes for me.

Feels more of a lost Binaural or avocado track for me

I kept thinking this would be cooler if Eddie was singing it.

Honestly this is the first time I've heard Stone sing where I really like the stylings. Reminds me a bit of Brad.

I was feeling the Avocado aspect for sure- those twinkly guitars recall Army Reserve, and the Let It Ride comparisons hit for me. Curious where this would land 1-5 if we had a poll. At least a 4 for me.

I think I'd throw it a 3 without hesitation.

Poll is up. It's a 2 for me, again with the caveat that this is clearly not in my wheelhouse.

3.5, probably 4.

Thank you. Gave it a 5, but reserve the right to change as I listen more. Have listened maybe 5 times now and it's essentially a 4.5 and I'm rounding up.

It's probably a solid 3 at first listen. The final minute is some top notch stuff. I like the vocals in the verses more than Retrograde. Similar styles.

I find the opening awkward and uncomfortable. I'm going to give it a listen on a proper stereo later.

Would y'all agree that this is again in the category of "different and better" than the style of music they were producing on BS and LB? I know stip compared to Amongst The Waves, but I'm not seeing that, aside from it being a midtempo type builder.

This is better than Amongst the Waves. Seems more genuine/authentic.

Wait this is getting compared to Amongst the Waves?? Ok maybe I won’t listen.

There are otherside vibes to it as well

My attempt at most of the lyrics:

On the side of the road
Lost and alone
To get it back

Much farther to go
So far from home
To get it back

Frozen in time
Turn on a dime
To get it back

Try to reach you before winter comes
Always a place for you in my (heart/arms?)
You’re not alone

(garbled stuff I can't make out)
…to talk to you
(garbled stuff)
Only one
Is to give it back

A mother and child
Lost for a while
They want you back

Stare at the sun
Don’t hurt anyone
To get it back

Trying to reach you before winter comes
Always a place for you in my heart

(garbledygook)

Since you went away
Hard to find my place
Since you went away
Hard to find my place
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
Since you went away
