I like the chorus. Dreamily floats over wide open expansive spaces. It’s pretty. Ed sounds great.

The chorus is a big missed opportunity to make the song great, but I think the rest is perfectly solid. Not bottom-two on the record, for sure.Strat wrote:I’m the only here that loves the long way!

Re: Eddie Vedder - Earthling
I think they did an admirable job of doing something with a pretty underwritten song, but a beefed up arrangement isn't quite enough to save it.

I’m in club “Pro Long Way”! The chorus prevents me from loving it, but I still like it. I do love the verses and most of the music around it.Strat wrote:I’m the only here that loves the long way!
