This was originally my fav on the album but hasn't aged as well as I thought it would. Much prefer the latter half of the album (Swallowed Whole > Yellow Moon) |

Interesting to see the love dissolve from page 1 to 35. I still love this song and think quite highly of it, |

I still really like it, I think. I don't know. I haven't listened to it in a few years |

It's pretty good. Jagged musically and interesting lyrics. |

personally I think this is the song MOST ruined by the album's production |

There are worse lyrics on Gigaton, tbh |

yeah the lyrics "can I volunteer amputee"???? Ed was at the peak of his "you can literally cut out words and make it make no sense as long as it scans, it's fine" I don't find anything on Gigaton that does that, SBWM gets cringe but it doesn't cut out |

This has been one of my least favorite Pearl Jam songs for a long time. To me it just sounds very affected, both in terms of Eddie and the band. (it does have a nice bridge) |

Oh yeah Well this just strengthens my overall belief that Ed is generally a bad lyricist. Or at least modern-age, excessively verbose Ed. For a song as obviously silly as this it doesn't bother me much, but when a song is shooting for poignancy and he does that clunky, awkward grammatical restructuring to fit a rhyme pattern ("Comes Then Goes" has several examples of this) it stands out much more to me |
