The chorus is in the door clip
Not so sure, could be a bridge

That’s the one stone talks about.

Can you feel? Can you heal the chains in my heart?

Jeff had a dream about Joni Mitchell et al visiting him .

It’s somewhere around 2:20 and starts with “Will you find me here…” or something

What did that reviewer say? “Eddie dropped more hooks than a fisherman”?

Seems about right
This is the part I couldn't get out of my head when I listened to the metal door leak the first time around.

I can already tell that Won’t Tell is going to be a gem.
A Pearl gem.

‘Won’t Tell’ is like Pearl Jam refracted through the Cure or U2.

It’s really special. Jeff wrote that song. He told me he had a dream about Joni Mitchell, and maybe even Neil Young was there. She said something about the lyric ‘waiting for your message to come. Can you heal? Can you feel the chains in my heart?’ Then Ed took all of that and we reinterpreted the whole thing. It evolved quite a bit from where Jeff had it, but we knew that lyric and we knew the spirit of it. We started going down the path of those 16th notes, with Matt playing that hi-hat groove that’s reminiscent of the Cure or U2 where you groove into a beat and the drums become a little bit more of a backbeat. Ed’s vocal is just soaring. It’s gorgeous. It’s one of those songs that’s easy to play. It kind of plays itself. It really does have a different quality to it. It’s a real amalgamation of, being inspired by a dream, starting with a rudimentary arrangement and then us taking it and completing it. It was really fun to do.

I always thought it was the outro of the song...

The irony of where Klinghoffer's career has taken him is that he's a really original and inventive drummer. His playing on John Frusciante's solo albums from twenty( !!!??) years ago is fantastic
I don't find him nearly as convincing as a guitarist.

this quote from Stone is what has me most excited about this process:
I’m sure everyone had some riffs and some arrangements. The thing is, the more it’s arranged and you’re attached to it, the harder it is to work other suggestions in. The way we were working really was, everybody in the room, let’s pull something out and really work it over together. In general, you were better off having a sketch than you were a complete idea. People getting invested in a song and, reacting and then hearing their own parts in it was the alchemy making these songs come to life.
