I'm sad that Neil will probably never get to tell Eddie he misinterpreted the lyric.
Wait, what's this all about?
See illumineddie in the yellow moon thread
Man... that guy is hard to communicate with. At least on the internet.
Yeah, there was a whole bunch of context for this.
I just read the thread. Good no you guys for keeping that conversation going. At least you tried. I would have walked away and unchained a bullet.
:lol:

Yup. The protagonist is so overcome with emotion by the yellow moon, he considers firing Neil Young into his head.

My favorite off the Album atm, appears corny at first but it can't help but suck you in regardless.

Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. It's pretty bad, it's up there with the vinyl cock-up for me but nobody's mentioned it.

im pretty sure i can kinda ignore it, but it was the first time i had heard it with out headphones. it is really weird, if it was originally supposed to be there then it does sound way off.

would you like the second half as much if you weren't able to juxtapose it with the first half?

just listened to the 2nd half by itself and i do like it on its own, but it dont know if that counts because i know the first part so i still know the set up to the 2nd part. so just for now im gonna say that i probably wouldnt like it as much with out the first half being there to set it all up.
