Ed sounds awesome...restraint at moments, fully open and broken at others, such a great performance.

Yeah I made the same observation when they released the clip for this.

But then just now I thought for a second you were talking about the Foo Fighters song and I got so angry! :lol:

Jeff's bass work is great on this, he really finds room to groove in what is a pretty straightforward number

Way more lyrical depth here.

I love that there's some heft to the guitars after the "holding out" bit before the outro

fitting since I expect the orgy of joy that will constitute half of the album to come to a screeching halt when Serban Ghanea takes a dump on my face

This was specifically for you.

I can't believe this is happening in 2024

I haven't listened on headphones yet, but i think a good part of this is the band really just playing int he moment and putting more energy into it. It feels so nice and not static.

kinda feels is about someone dying but also it could hint a suicide maybe?

If you're feeling the leaving, I can't make you stay

I've only ever wanted for it not to be this way

But it also has “charcoal on the faces in the burned up photographs”
“I no longer give a fuck who is wrong and who’s right”
“Spoils for the victor and the other left for dead”

And other sentences that sound more depresse/regretful because of a relationship gone bad and the weariness makes it feel like more than a simple break up

I went 4 stars based on two listens but this is more like a 4.5 with a chance at eventually landing as a 5.

Really love this one.

I'm slayed. Just slayed. Alot of loss this last few months for me in the way of loved ones passing. I knew for whatever the reason I hadn't really dealt with it.
The song just as a song is stunning. Jeff's bass is really what is allowing this to take off. Ed owes him here. Mike guitar is harmonious with Ed in this in way I haven't heard. Then the words my they resonate. This could settle in my too 5 all time. I won't know that for at least half a decade. Knowing what life starts to look like in middle age and beyond yeah this goes in my knapsack.

I don't ever doubt the intentions or sentimentality of Ed. He does a great job here of tapping into the wisdom and perspective of someone who has been through a lot in life, like many of us have.

Glad you have this to help in your journey.
