Not a video of the actual performance (just audio), but this is the definitive version in my opinion.

great performance. every time he holds those extended notes i am reminded how all of us take this man for granted

That's a good performance, but it didn't strike me as a standout. I think this speaks to what someone said a few posts up about this being a song that is essentially always great. I don't think I've ever heard a bad, or even mediocre, version.

So is it “brrrs in the rain” or “birds” or something else? I hear brrrs.
I like brrrs.

I'm not convinced he isn't blanking on the lyrics in the studio cut

I have a memory of someone in the band saying that the lyrics have never been written down and the song came together almost immediately in studio while Stone was tuning his guitar and improvising that beautiful pattern.

I think Ed mostly improvised the lyrics on the spot.
That would likely affect him on later takes if he was going by memory.

Release: the band’s first improv.

remarkably consistent lyrically for an improv, this is a great and emotionally moving song for me

I think it's "verse"?

No, it doesn't make sense.

I always heard "birds"

No, it doesn't make sense.

It does sound like a “v” sound there.

What about the line before that? ”I see the world’s on a rocking horse of time.” ?

He clears says "The 'Burbs", referring the 1989 Tom Hanks classic.

I didn’t know that’s how the lyrics to Release were created. This is a perfect song. :heartbeat:

"verse in the rain" could be taken as like "writing on the wall" but it's more likely to be nonsense

Took me 40 to get Oceans.
A sibling to Release in most senses. But a better song let’s be honest.

in my head, the Unplugged version is the ideal

just pristine
