This is the guy who claimed he was singing about missing waking up next to Johnny Ramone in "Come Back"

I see it not so much "about Trump" as it is an exploration of the emotional devastation which can be wrought from division.

Putting a name, face, or definite identity onto the cause of such division is left purposefully obscured, leaving the listener to ponder

This song was great from the jump but is getting better as I dial in my sing-along capabilities.

Im loving this one more and more with each listen

Kinda love Ed´s lyrics at first. He sounds somehow tired and sad sometimes.

How's this song doing in the charts so far?

I don't think it technically gets added to radio until today. We'll know soon.

Hopefully the MAGA nuts being involved now doesn't influence anything.

I just heard this on the radio. It was definitely a radio-only version. I would say it was maybe 3.5 minutes long, if that. The edit had the following:

- Shortened intro with the guitars
- 3rd verse of "Visited by thoughts..." completely eliminated
- Shorter outro

This is a 5 stars song to me.

So beautiful.

This gives me so much Vs. era acoustic songs, Daughter or Small Town, and it's making me wanna cry.

In a good way.

Amazing song, really want it to be a live stapple,

the ending goes on maybe just a little too long at the end (not in love with the background ‘combing through the wreckage’ part. but otherwise this song is incredible. it gets better every time i hear it

Booo!!!!! Those background vocals can go on forever, as far as I’m concerned.

Interesting. I was wondering what would be cut, if anything

I never fully trusted stip, and this seals it.

All 6 people who bought his book should get a refund.

Those background vocals could carry on forever and spiral out into eternity, as far as I'm concerned.
stip is being a jerk.
