Very 80’s, but sounds more like the Edge to me



Agreed on the tone at the beginning of the outro sounding U2ish but the key that kicks in around 2:56 is very reminiscent of Pictures of You to my ears.

Sorry for the all caps….

HER EYES WERE SOFT AND SYMPATHIZED
A VISION SO UNCOMPROMISED
FLOATED IN

AS SHE PULLED THE BOOK UP OFF THE SHELF
HER DRESSING GOWN AND NOTHING ELSE
BUT A SECRET GRIN

AND I ALWAYS HAD ONE QUESTION
FREE OF ALL SUGGESTION
DO I SAY OR KEEP IT IN?

YOU CAN FIND ME HERE

WAITING FOR YOUR MESSAGE TO COME
CAN YOU HEAL, CAN YOU FEEL
THE CHAINS IN MY HEART

WAITING FOR A MESSAGE TO COME
CAN YOU HEAL, CAN YOU FEEL
THE CHANGE IN MY HEART

IN MY HEART

SHE LAID THE BOOK UPON THE DESK
OPENED TO THE PAGE I ASKED
COULD THAT BE THE ONE?

AS SHE SMILED AND PLAYED A MINOR CHORD
IN A KEY I NEVER HEARD BEFORE
ONE SONG AND IT WAS DONE

YOU CAN FIND ME HERE,...,

WAITING FOR YOUR MESSAGE TO COME
CAN YOU HEAL, CAN YOU FEEL
THE CHAINS IN MY HEART

WAITING FOR A MESSAGE TO COME
CAN YOU HEAL, CAN YOU FEEL
THE CHANGE IN MY HEART

I'D OPEN THE DOOR, I'D LET YOU IN
I WOULD OPEN IT IF YOU CAME
BUT IF IT'S NOT YOU KNOCKING
IT'S STAYING CLOSED

I'D OPEN THE DOOR, SHED ALL MY SKIN
ALLOW FOR A BIT OF GRACE
FOR IN MY DREAM YOU TOLD
ME TO LET THE LONGING GO
AND THE PROMISE I STILL HOLD
WON'T TELL A SOUL.

This song is like if Smile said... "OK, you decided not to make me a single? Well then, I'll just go bigger and catchier until you just can't resist"

Didn’t really make an impression on first listen… have just had on repeat 10 times. The second “Waiting for a message to come” melody is what I needed right now. “can you feel it”

I like the subtle bit of gravel /distortion on “dream”. So many little details.

And mentioned elsewhere but the hard panning of Stone and Mike like they are on stage is incredible. Like Watt said - you can hear each of them and that’s what I always loved about PJ was the different personality of each instrument which they lost on some records - could have been any studio musician. But now we’ve got the off kilter stone rhythms and ear candy, Mike blasting off and firing off little fills while waiting for his solo to come around, Jeff pounding and bouncing around and through the harmonic structure and Matt being Matt

Hmm, this one didn't strike me on first or second listen, but with headphones and more listens, I boosted it a point.

Also, if you haven't watched the recent Stone web interview, look for it. I haven't seen Stone so enthused about Pearl Jam in recent memory. He seems truly happy and I love that and what it means for the band.

Love this one. The guitar at 2:42 is pure U2. It's basically just the little interlude riff from Pride (In The Name of Love) and that next riff with the heavy chorus applied is 80s The Cure all over. Wearing its influences on its sleeve but it's a really well constructed song.
