mike's work on this song is extraordinary, and provides exactly the kind of sonic color and compositional depth i wish the band was still interested in pursuing

more than just about any other song in the catalog, i wish i could have been in the room over the course of this song's evolution (demoing, fleshing out the song's particulars, arranging, etc)

I would like to see the band get frustrated by Tchad Blake forcing them to continue to push the boundaries of good taste in order to achieve such studio mastery.

i'm just curious about what it was about the process of this song that encouraged them to be so unorthodox, and ultimately comfortable with the product. mike never played this way before, and certainly hasn't since.

Drugs for Mike
Ed being cheated on
Jeff being Jeff
Cameron being talented
Stone......who knows.
Mostly it all means sthat Brendan O'Brien wasn't present.

This song, musically and lyrically, scares the shit out of me. It's not an emotion I associate with much rock I listen to, but PJ does it here.
what about the music scares you?
To me, the chorus has always sounded like a tiny, private apocalypse. It's the sonic no man's land of an individual life. There's something vast about the chords being played, but it still seems to connect to that one life being talked about in the verse.
I don't know; this one kind of transcends words for me.

it definitely sounds like some kind of implosion, which works for the lyrical theme. but it's almost like the narrator is celebrating the implosion, that he's welcoming everything coming down.

Yeah, I think which is what is so scary about it to me. The fear that you could find yourself in that place and be so welcoming to the prospect.
