I don't know that I think the songs are all that close. Sad is a much better comp to SBWM.
It's like both of those songs put together.

I was thinking a lot about the lyrics. It kinda reminds me of the character of Do The Evolution.

the biggest thing setting this song back for me is that the meaning of the lyrics is kind of evading me

Yeah, im not sure what means, but i see it as the same of character that sang Do The Evolution.

I don't know anything
I question everything

Those lines got me...Specially in these coronavirus times. Ive seen a lot of people complaining about ...you name it. Its just a big yell.

I still like my theory that this song is written from the POV of the same character as Never Destination; I feel like he would write "thank you Bob Honey"

Hard disagree. The composition itself is freewheeling, but every other aspect feels like a tightly controlled effort to make it all hang together.
What song do you have in mind for a loose vibe then?

It feels like a song about regret - regretting losing somebody (maybe the same person Comes Then Goes is about?), regretting lost time, regretting lost battles...?

...And then trying to caution a younger person to stay focused on what's important and not to get derailed by bullshit.

Stoned Saturday night hot take for you!

Next box set have them remaster everything after yield and re-record drums with Jack! I love me some Binaural and Riot Act but damn I wish Jack had been apart of those. Sorry Matt :-(

I think Matt's an excellent drummer, a great songwriter and seems like a super dude, but his style is forever an awkward fit for Pearl Jam.

When I went on sabbatical from Pearl Jam fandom (1998-2004 or so), it was so jarring when I began hearing Matt playing those songs. It took me a good few years before I could even get my head around how different the songs felt, and at this point I think I probably worked too hard to find a way into enjoying the band again.
