Red Mosquito

Yellow Moon with a Gigaton level of production would be amazing.

Are you doing an impression

Wow, look at the poll for this song. The board loved it then. Curious what people think now.

That or drinky drinky, or weed, or corona.

PM me for dick pix and Yellow Moon rehearsal bootlegs

Yellow Moon rehearsal = album cut

Some edit I did
https://voca.ro/ojZHA1t0lBs

it's OK, I was grateful for a song like this when it first came out; it's pretty

but we had "Lowlight", and now we have "Buckle Up", so it's a tad redundant

i can usually just ignore lyrics and pay attention to music/vocals, but the second verse is maybe the worst thing eddie vedder ever wrote. they bridge is fine, but i have really have no desire to hear this song.

how does the second verse go again?

round and round we go
where we stop no one knows
so tonight the moon I go

Perfectly good lyrics that tie in well with a song about contemplating suicide in the face of a seemingly meaningless or insignificant existence


the post, however, is a great example of the hyperbolic illiteracy that categorizes most conversations about lightning bolt

I gave this a listen last night. Eddie sounds really good on this

those lyrics sound like they were written by a child. sure, if you want to say they are good in the context of the song, go for it, but they are terrible.

also, i had no idea you were such an arrogant dickhead.

edit: seriously, what a ridiculously pretentious insult. how smug do you have to be to post something like that?

when you say "those lyrics sound like they were written by a child", you should know that it's literally a children's nursery rhyme, so leaving aside how you may feel about using children's traditional merry-go-round mantras in a song in general, these lyrics are fine and aren't Ed being juvenile

I just wish the production and instrumentation of the song was more nuanced and creative, so that we could hear a little of that quaint music-box Victoriana aesthetic in more than just the lyrics

I don't mind seeing the whole song as a nursery rhyme

i never looked at it as a nursery rhyme the way 'around the bend' is, but thats an interesting thought. i think i heard the same line in a pink floyd song recently and had the same thought: "that was the line?"

i think like most songs, this would improve with the new producer. maybe ill try to find a good live version of it.

Less smug, more exhausted

exhausted from what? patting yourself on the back?

Harmless just said it, but it is a child's nursery rhyme, and it evokes the feeling of a carousel. Constant movement with no destination that is enchanting as a child but feels pointless as an adult. Likewise, the image/lyric of 'to the moon I go' as a way to process/understand what happens when you die/what comes next is there to highlight how overmatched and overwhelmed the singer feels. He is reduced to a childlike level of understanding against the existential enormity of the moment.
