Mike's guitar tone is great.

What I don't like is how Ed sings that part in the first verse "sideways talk wasn't in our thoughts". It's very Supersonic-esque

I want to know what Ed's muttering at the start in the background as the song kicks in.

"Hit me with a..."

I like this one a lot.

First verse is very similar to my fathers son. No one else hearing that?

From 3 min on Ed really shines

I'm liking it better on second listen

yeah, the whole thing is better tho

Ok, I think Ed yells "Hit me with a real big...stick" at the start when it's building.

Also, I can't even figure out where the 15 second clip they put out is in this song.

LOOOOVED the first listen...its weird, its tricky...the bridge is awesome and the outtro...fuck.

Matt´s drum sound huuuuge

the long drawn out bridge in this is *beautiful* and really has the feel of a similar detour live

also, I've spent so many years thinking you know, this is an OK song, but the bridge is easily the best part

it seems they heard me and thought right, OK then, we'll make this bridge the real takeaway of the song

The bridge on this one could be my favorite part of the album. That could change but I love it.

I'm loving this one, particularly the second half of the song (seems to be a recurring thing for this album).

The guitar sound and style is very reminiscent of the Avocado demos that surfaced a few years ago. Though that might just be because that was the last time we heard non-BoB'd PJ

Around 3:00 minutes in I got the biggest smile on my face. They did it!!!

Whoever said "its all been said" gave up on satisification!

now that melody is implanted for me, i fucking love it.

yea all of this is just fucking beautiful.

I dont quite like the chrous...feels something off Lightning bolt....but the song is good.

the intro has that boring DUN DUN DUN DUN bass drum that Matt does to everything fast live, but the rest of it is so good I don't care much

Initial stab at lyrics. This has a WAYS to go. Please chime in



Drowning in their dissertations, random speakers in my mind
They never stop their fortifications and blocking my precious time
You used to let it go and let it float away
You don’t get to speak with twice as much to say
------ --------- Said the messenger who is now dead
Was all on the periphery. I didn’t see him but I heard what he said

Sideways talk, poison in our thoughts
Everyone walks and its no one’s fault

Who ever said ‘it’s all been said’ gave up on satisfaction
Who ever said ‘it’s all been said’ gave up on satisfaction
Who ever said ‘it’s all been said’ gave up on satisfaction

Who ever said ‘it’s all been said’ gave up on satisfaction
Who ever said ‘it’s all been said’ gave up on satisfaction
Who ever said ‘it’s all been said’ gave up on satisfaction

Home is where the broken heart is (silent runnings/love song)
Home is where every scar is
Blinking stars beneath you roam
------- and cradle to grave
All the answers will be found in the mistakes that we have made

One bad ear and one eye blind
It takes----- but don’t’ take mine
Leaning forward in a backwards town
I feed on dreams just to watch them drown
Swallow my pencil and bleed out my pen
Surrender the wish we’ll be together again
But I wont’ give up, no I won’t give up
On satisfaction
On satisfaction
Give up on satisfaction

Pull myself aside on a sleepless night
Sadness ---- I’m in need of a light
Out of balance balance balance this time
I’m feeling faint and calling as I’m falling out of sight
As the silence gets louder my heart gets pounding
The ventricle’s pumping working overtime
My freedom’s fraught with danger, being circumscribed
A life cut short and circumcised
