I'm sorry but i fully believe this song was prised from betwixt the buttcheeks of messrs Mike mccready and Brenden O'Brien before they rolled it alltogether and handed it to the band to get to work on.

:D
So let's see. Now the only PJ member who hasn't secretly 'colluded' one-one with Brendan O'Brien is Stone.
That's only 'cuz Stone doesn't give a shit anymore :)

In terms of vocal melodies - this album is shaping up to be Ed's crowning achievement.

Also, I really like this song, but I'm not sure about using the solo as a climax - I think it should've been the beginning of a build to the end.

Okay....My first post after hearing this was "I'm not feelin it..." But after listening to it about 15 times now I feel completely different about it. This hits something inside of me...it rises and rises beautifully. And yes I even love the solo. Especially with all of the things going on in my life currently. I think I have something in my eye too Harmless.

Has anyone seen him since they rolled this thing out? :shock:

It'll be interesting when he gets out of whatever basement they have him tied up in.

Me too. It should've been more of a kind of NAIS deal.

You know, I don't want to disturb you even more, but a couple of my hardcore Pearl Jam fan friends are seriously planning to follow a Katy Perry tour soon.

Well, it's had the same effect apparently.
