There's a country song hidden (and not too deeply) in this. Give me a little pedal steel playing that lead part. Some fiddle and some banjo. MMMMM!

Honestly, I'd fucking LOVE to hear The Chicks cover it.

lol. It’s my top track!

This one did nothing for me on first listen but has been steadily climbing ever since.

Waiting For Stevie easily taking the bottom position for me at this stage.

Love the acoustic guitar in the back. Such great playing. Adds so much. Total Pete Townshedn.

I don't hear the Who but I was never a big fan...this to me is a Springsteen song through and through. But I guess those are basically the US and UK equivalents. Heart on your sleeve rock.

Beginning of song to me is straightup Mellencamp/Springsteen, but definitely goes into a very Who mode including the very appropriately used (glare at BO’B) piano

Def Mellencamp vibes into The Who.

this has moved up in my rankings. easily top 5 song on the album for me now.

I'm wondering if excluding the lyrics was another intentional reference to "dark matter"? The lyrics are somewhat depressing, he's definitely singing about a dark subject matter, until the ending turns towards positivity. Looking at the booklet where there's a lot of black space where the rest of the lyrics should be... staring at the dark matter

That moment when Ed yells "go" right before the final solo. Tremendous.

Am I the only one who hears David Bowie’s Let’s Dance at the end of each verse?

Oh, this album is full of Bowie. The bridge also have Heroes vibes.

This song feels like this album’s In Hiding to me. “I’ll be the last one standing” feels so much like, “I swallowed my words…” I love it.
