I'm sad that Neil will probably never get to tell Eddie he misinterpreted the lyric.

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.

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

Re: Swallowed Whole
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.
