this sentiment is starting to creep like a virus and it's annoying so here goes: just breathe is a fantastic fucking song.

Just Breathe and The End are probably the best songs on Backspacer. Aw-huh.

Yeah those two are actually really good.

Big fan of "The End". I've kind of soured on "Just Breathe" over time, but I reckon that's due to overexposure more than anything else.

try and sometimes you'll succeed
to make this man of me
All my stolen missing parts
ive no need for anymore
like my balls

Nailed it.

This song is growing on me. Everything but the piano

This should've been the title track.

I am now convinced Matt is wearing earbuds and has a Soundgarden song playing from his Ipod.

That doesn't really mean much, though, does it?

Yeah. It means those songs are really good and belonged on a different album. One or two others were too good for that album as well. Got Some would've sounded fine on an album with a more political context.

Is he doing backup vocals? I can't hear him but it looks like he's singing.

He may have it pause a couple of times.

Kinds sounds like a mccready tune lyrically

I wouldn't be surprised if McCready wrote this one.

Idk it seems textbook post ITW Ed.

This is the "Hey Girl" meme, in song form.

Can we take the (Lightning Bolt) part off the thread title? It confuses me as to which thread I'm in.

You probably don't need to, this one's much more developed.

Thank you. Was going to say the same thing.

While I don't really agree with your sentiment, I see where it's coming from. Shouldn't Oceans be the first then, though? And Indifference just doesn't fit the bill for me. Everything Ed has ever done solo has been strummy-type stuff. There's way too much atmosphere provided by the band in that song to not say it absolutely has "PEARL JAM" written all over it. If it were on the record in the same manner he performs it with Ben Harper I'd agree, but there's too much Jeff and Mike bring to it on the record to see it as an "Ed solo" track.
