I love the vocals - I just wish he could do at least one live take where he gets the words right
This is 4-5 star PJ to me, loving it more with every listen.
I think it could be one of the few songs from LB that Ed could work into his solo shows and sound really great
i agree, i was thinking last night that would be a solid song live for ed solo

Has Ed tried this one solo yet?
I can hear it.

I was really happy they pulled this out in Charlottesville. Good tune. It fit perfectly after I Am Mine.

The build with each new verse is really well done. Some of my favorite vocals from Ed in years.

I love Matt's work in this song, the way he's pushing and pulling the verse around. I wish I liked the song itself more; I like the verses a lot, I think (as usual for me with latter-day PJ) it's the damn chorus pulling things down.

Has Ed gotten the lyrics right yet on tour?

I'm such a proud papa
When my son is two, I hope to duplicate this moment.

I liked this song a lot from the very first listen but I was never a huge fan of the chorus, as someone else just mentioned. But this week, I was listening to it on headphones and for the first time I heard the neat finger-picking/arpeggio thing that either Mike or Stone is doing during the chorus... which I'm really loving right now. I think it all clicked for me now. As of right now, I'd say this song is the closest they've gotten to "classic PJ" territory in a while.

It's definitely the most joyful chorus they've done in a long time - I really love it and am surprised to hear people are liking everything about the song
but the chorus. Maybe joy isn't for everyone...

Yeah, I noticed the finger picking thing going on in the chorus as well and it really made me like the chorus even more. I really wish that finger picking was a little bit higher in the mix, you can barely hear it. They've done that with a bunch of other songs, burying cool guitar parts deep in the mix, and it's a bit frustrating.

Anyone else surprised it wasn't the Third single? Cuz I can see it fairing well on Mainstream Rock Radio..it's the catchiest thing on the album IMO.

No.
I've actually been checking this for my own live playlists because his lyrics flubs drive me crazy. Off the top of my head I don't think he has gotten the lyrics right for this or My Father's Son.
You would think the PRAMG would fund a larger/better teleprompter.
EDIT - You can add Got Some to the list of his live lyrical abortions that he has yet to sing correctly.

Small ones that are easily recovered from are no big deal. Giant blank spots are rage-provoking.

My second show ever Ed skipped the first verse of Release and it pissed me off so much.
