The more Ed thinks of himself as a singer, the more his performances distance themselves from the emotions of the songs in question. Even when he's sounding good, he just doesn't grab me.

a nice performance of a boring song.
But I bet it was an amazing sing along, and I guess that's the point

this confuses me.
last time i checked he was vocals for pearl jam. prolly ok to think of himself as a singer.
Now, this,... this... this makes many important points on many levels. This audio/video combination may actually solve a significant portion of the world's problems.

You mean Mercury Years, right? Certainly not Earth Years.
Actually, I am skeptical of this being a pj song at all, seems to be a EV song
