Red Mosquito

This is the guy who claimed he was singing about missing waking up next to Johnny Ramone in "Come Back"

Who you gonna believe... Ed or stip?

I see it not so much "about Trump" as it is an exploration of the emotional devastation which can be wrought from division.

Putting a name, face, or definite identity onto the cause of such division is left purposefully obscured, leaving the listener to ponder

This song was great from the jump but is getting better as I dial in my sing-along capabilities.

yeah, agreed. And its also mixed with stuff from a relationship too.

its a great lyric.

Im loving this one more and more with each listen

Kinda love Ed´s lyrics at first. He sounds somehow tired and sad sometimes.

How's this song doing in the charts so far?

I don't think it technically gets added to radio until today. We'll know soon.

Hopefully the MAGA nuts being involved now doesn't influence anything.

I just heard this on the radio. It was definitely a radio-only version. I would say it was maybe 3.5 minutes long, if that. The edit had the following:

- Shortened intro with the guitars
- 3rd verse of "Visited by thoughts..." completely eliminated
- Shorter outro

This is a 5 stars song to me.

So beautiful.

That outro just gets better and better

This gives me so much Vs. era acoustic songs, Daughter or Small Town, and it's making me wanna cry.

In a good way.

Amazing song, really want it to be a live stapple,

the ending goes on maybe just a little too long at the end (not in love with the background ‘combing through the wreckage’ part. but otherwise this song is incredible. it gets better every time i hear it

Booo!!!!! Those background vocals can go on forever, as far as I’m concerned.

i like hearing when things that dont work fully well for me move other people. makes me feel better about their inclusion

Interesting. I was wondering what would be cut, if anything

I never fully trusted stip, and this seals it.

All 6 people who bought his book should get a refund.

Count me as another. I LOVE that part

Those background vocals could carry on forever and spiral out into eternity, as far as I'm concerned.
stip is being a jerk.
