No, but I think the song is ok. I'd recognize that it means a lot to him and sense I can't write a better song I'd treat him and the song with respect. Certainly, he deserves that because he has written great songs that mean a lot to me and while this one isn't great it still comes from his heart, I understand that and I'm fine with Fd.

Tbf, some people on this forum are able to write much better songs.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
For me it is not so much that I think it is a bad song as I think it is an inappropriate song for a PJ album. If Ed came out with another solo album and FD was on it, it might be a nice addition.

There is a sort of sad irony in the fact that people with Whitey's songwriting abilities or self polluted's knack for sonic texturing are posting on a fan site, while the guys who are the subject matter of said site are producing the like of Future Daysharmless wrote:Tbf, some people on this forum are able to write much better songs.

Completely. It's a band not in their prime and we hope we can appreciate the stuff in spite of that. I just can't make myself less interested in PJ, but man have I tried.McParadigm wrote:There is a sort of sad irony in the fact that people with Whitey's songwriting abilities or self polluted's knack for sonic texturing are posting on a fan site, while the guys who are the subject matter of said site are producing the like of Future Daysharmless wrote:Tbf, some people on this forum are able to write much better songs.

Not in the slightest. I don't think he believes he's even making the best material possible. I think he's making the best material possible at the moment, under certain circumstances. FD's positioning on the album seems to suggest it is what it is.Mine wrote:Does anyone believe that Eddie thinks Future Days is the best song he can write at the moment?harmless wrote:Completely.

Absolutely not. But, I do think he is the most inconsistent songwriters in the band. His highs and lows are so much more extreme than any other member.Mine wrote:Does anyone believe that Eddie thinks Future Days is the best song he can write at the moment?harmless wrote:Completely.

In fairness we don't know that future days isn't years old. Sounds like something he'd write back in his bad radio days
