This thread is quickly approaching the same amount of pages at the Vs Official Album thread, and I find that concerning.

the quality of a song is determined by how many pages a thread has?

Im sure most musicians release their albums and run to the computer to see how many pages their thread have.epilogue wrote:Oh yeah, you didn't know that?VinylGuy wrote:the quality of a song is determined by how many pages a thread has?

Eddie: “How many pages did they create to talk about the new album?”
Jeff: “A Gigaton.”

In the vain of self analysis, I'm wondering if I like this song so much because it's relieving to hear Ed's voice and truly enjoy the way it sounds. All of the Flag Day stuff, with the exception of when he is supporting Glenn and the vocal track is almost unlistenable to me.

Eddies wife on Instagram said she had been listening to this since early summer. Seems liked Eddie spent the spring and summer getting this together.

But more often than not, it's not a self-directed examination; it's someone else questioning the authenticity of your feelings, in a way that seems to seek primarily to undermine the credibility of your conclusions. That may not be the intention, but I can't imagine it's hard to imagine why people read it that way. "I think this song is boring, everyone else seems to agree it's boring -- are you sure the only reason you like it isn't because you're just having a knee-jerk emotional reaction to this other thing that is only semi-connected to the actual thing we're talking about?" I have made the critical error of using this line of reasoning with my wife when discussing family issues. It has never not provoked defensiveness.
Anyway, I agree it can be a fun exercise in regards to music. I enjoy those kinds of self-analyses and often find the more ridiculous answers to be the most interesting. I don't mean to sound defensive (nothing to defend really, no one asked me this question); I just enjoy unpacking the logic and limitations to these kinds of thought experiments.

They may have had the song in the can since spring/summer but I'd be surprised if Ed spent a lot of time putting it together. I think his MO as an artist has always been to want to record things right in moment and go with however it turns out. That's what he did with Into the Wild and we hear it a lot on his PJ contributions. The Watt guy (producer) made it sound in one of the interviews that Ed basically just visited him as a friendship thing because he was already in town for some benefit. Then Watt showed him the studio and they did some stuff impromptu.lowlight79 wrote:Eddies wife on Instagram said she had been listening to this since early summer.

Reported that Elton wrote one of the songs for ed's (with ed) solo album. I guess ELton mentioned it on Stern.
