Why is this thread allowed but the Running thread was locked MOD INTEGRITY

It was the wrong decision to close the Running thread, if there was an official released part of the song.

I'm not a mod. So it's not up to me. But the correct decision has been made to keep this one open.

I know watts' production has got some shit but I'm liking how the bass is so high in the mix. If this was BoB it'd be drenched in steel guitar and fucking harpsichord or something. This seems tasteful to me. Though the other 3 minutes of the track may prove me wrong.

I wonder is this is the chorus or the verse

agreed, I think the instrumentation in general is pretty cool and we have a variety of guitar sounds across the three tracks; he just has a "generic af" switch permanently on when it comes to drums

The three clips we've heard from this song (door leak, sports clip, and now this website teaser) feature the same melody; I think there's a good chance this is one of those songs where the same little melodic passage repeats over and over again, without a real "verse/chorus" distinction. Or where the "chorus" section is actually an instrumental hook

really sounds like a verse to me, which leaves room for the chorus to improve things, or make them much worse

or what Jorge said

something that would pleasantly surprise me is if this song ended up in a joyful instrumental jam session, where each instrument sort of took their turn to do a little solo, but... that would be cool, so it won't happen

Yeah, that fearful thought has crossed my mind too.
Especially after one of the reviews described it as "meandering".

haha oh no

plenty of seconds remaining as of yet unheard for them to pile on the schlock

But then we were given a clip of Running that led everyone to believe that we were hearing the chorus.

also, also, remember the snippets from the Backspacer marketing campaign?
Boy were we all in for a surprise when we'd heard the full versions, right?

I bet Ed's codename for this song on the setlists is going to be "Schmaltz Waltz"

Damn, this is 4 minutes long?

Wrong time signature

Can't wait for Josh and Eddie sitting on stools next to eachother for the first song of the encore.

Terrible.
