this sounds complex and mysterious, any takers?

I’m sure they’re trying to hint that it’s about Cornell, bc Spin

Oh I just read jorge’s poem

Jorge wrote:He was my brother
And he now is dead
And his eyes were blue
And for a spell in the 90s
he had a really thin mustache,
the kind that made him look
a bit like John Waters

lolllllll

Almost as good as the song itself turned out to be.

Interesting co-writing notes there.

The most emotional moment came when Stern brought up the 2018 death of Chris Cornell. Before getting into it, Vedder revealed that his half-brother Chris died unexpectedly a year earlier due to a climbing accident in Africa. “That one took me down so hard, and my brothers, and my mom,” Vedder said.

he probably added Josh as a scapegoat co-writer so we can blame him for anything we think is shitty

That's what I was thinking. Spread the blame. Smart.

Should've spread some lyrics blame, too.

This is probably a song about his younger brother. Who died the same year as Cornell.

Eddie is better when the instrumentation is stripped down. This stuff so far is too busy for me and it doesn't let Ed shine.

Gimme more Comes Than Goes.

Josh wasn't the most interesting part.

I think im more worried about this Watt guy than Josh. The few times I've seen him he has appeared annoying. And he comes from super pop world as a producer.

Can’t wait to see Eddie’s performance on the Bachelor
