I would've guessed Wishlist.

let me clarify. The first time I noticed a fadeout as something that seemed out of place. I think it is entirely dependent on how I first came to hear the song. I knew LW from the rough mix without the fade. I'm kinda used to L-bolt with the extended outro solo. Everything else was just how the song sounds.

I don't like the Rats fadeout. That song totally deserves a KABLAM! ending.

How would you KABLAM from "Ben the two of us need look no more"?

LW shouldn't have been faded, no doubt. LB shouldn't either. A little disappointed to hear that it is but not surprised.

There are a thousand ways they could've ended that song. I can think of some in my head right now but describing imaginary endings isn't easy by text. But one would be to finish the last round of 'Ben' repetitions, then slow the guitar's down-strokes gradually to a halt, then KABLAM on the first or last chord of the sequence.

The studio ending of "Blood" remains my favorite until this day

Yeah, that kinda thing could've happened to Rats also.

I'm sure there are examples of artistic, well placed and executed fade outs. But as a general rule, I'm totally against them.

I like that a fade out is used in Rival, I just wish they'd have waited another 30 seconds or so before applying it.

The Mynabirds probably have a fade out or two. But I can't think of one. So they obviously don't bother me. Maybe I don't really care. I guess, like most folks, I just hate it when I notice it.

they need so in-studio trashcans.

Stick a fuller breakbeat on top of that and it's probably better than the original.

It really puts the derpiness of the chorus on full display. I like that.

Lightning derrrrrrp! Lightning derrrrrrp!

Oh.

It still doesn't feel very Vedder-esque (to me, anyway) but I guess we'll find out in due course.

What non-Ed songs does Ed play guitar on? I can't think of one?

Come Back, bits of Present Tense.

He has a writing credit on Come Back. That leaves one song and a high probability that he wrote this one.

I may be mistaken but I'm fairly sure it's only for the lyrics and McCready wrote the music entirely.

I'd need the CD liner notes to check, though; neither the Pearl Jam site nor Wikipedia are reliable in regards to writing credits.

Lightning Bolt as predicted is an Ed song.

Happy to admit I was wrong!

Oh well.

Spenno? Happy? I don't believe that.

My attempt at the lyrics w/ the studio version leak.

she come on like a stone
but you don't know where from she was thrown
like a burning meteor
from miles high

looking for a place to land
She said have you got yourself some sand
And whatever you replied she took as yes

Now she comes after me
With her new replanted seeds
soon you're thrown down on your knees
And then you dig (dead?)

And then before you know
the weeds are obesely overgrown
With the all the wild seeds she sows
in your sleep

you gotta know you'll never let her go
she's a lightning bolt
lightning bolt
lightning bolt

Always something and never nothing
isn't that the way we're taught to be, to be
flipping through the worn out pages
stages when you knew not who to be
until the lightning strike sets you free

you gotta know you'll never let her go
She's a lightning bolt
lightning bolt
lightning bolt

crashing stormy waves
he rode her shoreline every day
until the castle of her ways turns to sand

she holds her love in breast (????)
as her words fall from (????????)
flying tragically northwest (????????)

And with no repair in sight there is
No God with such might
As you open her world wide with such a view
And your death will soon arrive
As she finally decides
That all her problems, they won’t die with you

never let her go
Shes your lightning bolt
never let her go

she's your rock and roll
she's a lightning bolt
uncontrollable
like you
