To answer your question, I doubt it. Also, he can and will probably change the lyrics. Or not, in which case I’m pretty sure most people will understand the context.

"Seven O' Clock" reminds me of Springsteen and Dylan. Love the Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull.... verse. I really like the structure of the song. The keyboard parts during the bridge/chorus parts are pretty soothing. It also semi reminds me of "Gone" that it seems like it was written for driving. Great centerpiece song. I also quite like how "It's Alright" perfectly sets it up.

I give it a 4/5. Sometimes maybe a 5/5.

The live version from Josh's 2023 Tour Mix is probably the best live take I've heard. It has a good tempo and a nice full sound.

I got back and forth on this one.

Its a bit like Amongst the Waves/River Cross sometimes I love it and sometimes it gets to the final outro and ive just noticed Ive missed the first 4 minutes of the song.

It’s really good. The intro and when they go back to it after the first chorus are as good as it gets on this album as is the way Ed shapes the end of each verse.

It's good to listen to on a good hi-fi setup, otherwise it falls flat.

Occasional lyric flub aside, every version I've heard, including in-person, felt powerful. Modern day classic.

Listened to this on my drive this morning thanks to this thread. Still a great late addition to the catalog, but I wish they had actually gone heavier with the production. Feels like they couldn't decide if they wanted it to sound live or heavily produced. I wish they had really glommed on the plate reverb!

I love the moody vibe of this one, and think the "chorus" and bridge parts are awesome. I really don't care for the lyrics though; Eddie does not excel at this type of songwriting IMO, and in a song like this the clunky lines and bad metaphors are right there in the foreground, impossible to ignore.

3 out of 5 stars for me -- mid-tier Gigaton.

*I now realize I basically said this same thing 3.5 years ago, at the top of the previous page. Man, it does not feel like almost 4 years ago that this album came out.
