This song has grown on me a lot. Took me a bit to really get a handle on it.

At 3:28, the way Ed vocally brushes off “and not feel” as he sings for the last time is vintage.

yea thats a moment. because it starts in such an elevated place and stays there there are fewer dynamic shifts and these smaller, subtler moments become more important

Ed and the band's PR team furiously workshopping a new version of the Waiting For Stevie origin story.

Knowing that now, I can hear similarities between the Dead Man riff and WFS, albeit one is played on acoustic.

If you listen to the little guitar riff he plays at Stern; it does sounds like something closer to Sometimes

hearing that drums/vocals only video helped me appreciate how slow this song moves, and how matt speeds it up coming out the bridge
