I might pm Trag about this.
Pretty sure most of us who follow the N&D sub forum feel this way.Strat wrote:Im so turned on by you liking this.McParadigm wrote:I don’t need context to justify calling this good. Its just good.evenslow wrote:let's think big picture here.
GUYS, again, the comparison at this point in their career is VOODOO LOUNGE.
this is miles beyond that shit. they're 30 years in, coming off an average, by-the-numbers album and a TRUE low point single (CDM) and.. and... somehow came up with this! something they've literally never done before!
color me way more encouraged than i was just a few weeks ago.
don't look a gift horse in the mouth, this is good shit Jamily.
i think the outro's the best part of the songstip wrote:quite like the outro. This was a good song and a very pleasant surprise
As a song I do prefer Mind Your Manners, Fixer, World Wide Suicide, and I Am Mine (at least as initial singles) but those are all carefully calibrated to land right in my wheelhouse.
But this feels much more like the song they needed to release at this moment
The statement in this case is "Stop Making Sense, now streaming on Prime Video"Strat wrote:I put this up there with Who You are and nothing as it seems.
Three single releases that are statements and direct challenges to fans. The pearl jam i fell in love with.
That's what I thought but I'm terrible at those comparisons so I kept it to myselfrick malone wrote:Bowie influence also?

Number's keep falling on the calendar's floor I thinkstip wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:Confusion is to commotion what Love is to our devotion
Acceptably big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control
So save your predictions
And burn your assumptions
Love is friction
Rightful comfort
Endless equations
Internal persuasion
Doors open up
To interpretation
Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present
And the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before
The looser things get
The tighter you become
The looser things get
The tighter...
Not one man
Can be greater than the sum
It's not a negative thought
Or a positive (positive, positive)
Falling down
Not staying down
Could've hold me up
Rather Brother? tear me down
Strong in the river(?)
Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present
And the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before
Numbers keep falling off the _____ floor
We're all stuck in our boxes
When it's open(?) no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots
Now we're crawling with the floor(?) now recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'coz they're out(?) of this world
I know the girls wanna dance away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow their dicks and fix and fire things
Stand back when the spirit comes
the last two minutes - from that funky guitar riff on - is magic.Chris_H_2 wrote:i think the outro's the best part of the songstip wrote:quite like the outro. This was a good song and a very pleasant surprise
