I've just realised: on the part where he sings "And when the lightning strike sets you free", it's the same chord progression (I think, or similar) to the bridge in Light Years. No wonder I liked that part, I really like Light Years.

I always hear 'do the lightning strike' . Which brings to mind some kinda 60s dance move like 'the swim' or ' the monkey'.

That works. I actually wish PJ would do another two "Do The..." songs, so we could have a 50s dancehall trilogy.

I am seriously loving this song. I feel like it's gonna be my favorite song they have had since Given To Fly.

We share many opinions Lament. We could almost be mistaken for each other.

I thought this was the Lightning Bolt thread, not Future Days?

You're right. I'm the worst.
Lightning Bolt is nowhere near as bad as Future Days.

Alright, you lot have softened me up a bit. Let's hear the studio version. I'm almost ready to accept a reeeeal possibility of it not sucking too much.

Among those who have posted their views in this thread, I think I was probably the one who liked LB the most from first listen. It has grown on me more since then and even when I don't listen to it for a few days, the verses seem to be stuck in my head. Haven't heard a more infectious tune from PJ in ages. I'm a sucker for such songs; uplifting music combined with a not-so-happy theme (as I interpret the lyrics) is stuff that PJ is really good at.

Yes, it's catchy as hell, I mentioned it too. A true ear worm.
