3 stars is about right. If the mood hits me it can rise to a 4, but it's not consistently there.

I don't mind the lyrics, but Ed can't quite put himself inside these characters like Springsteen can

Most underrated modern Pearl Jam song. The lp demo is amazing.

A 2-star snooze.

1 1/2 stars as a general rule, but the Spotify mix feeds the mood and swell enough to make it 2 1/2.

wow, kinda shocked by this. what about it?

I'm a pretty big fan of that whole album, 'slow.

I like the chords, the general vibe, the lyrics - it all works for me.

I love that album

i dig it too but Gone just never gets off the ground for me.


And I can't figure out why. It just doesn't have that magic thing that a lot of Ed's tunes have. I don't get it, but it just doesn't.

I really the song writing on Self Titled though.

For the longest time I thought “letting go of it all” in the chorus was Eddie enunciating the word Gone....like “this tiiiime III....AMM GAWWWEEAYAWWWWHAAAAWWWWNNNNN”

I still like to pretend that’s what it says because it was one of my favorite moments :(

I really appreciate "Gone", the organ in the verses is gorgeous

Average song with a strong ending. Fans of Let’s See Action probably appreciate Gone more than others do.

I’m proud to be the only five star Gone-man.

Always loved this one and could never understand it being as widely panned as it seems to be.

Gone gives me a similar feel to In Hiding, which I also love. Also super into what the band did with Ed's demo. :peace:

Second-worst song in the catalog, after Amongst the Waves

Like the verse melody/performance a lot. The pre-chorus melody/performance is solid. Hate the chorus melody/performance a lot.

The AOL sessions was a good solo ed performance:
