i hate Getaway.

i remember that promo video that came out before LB, and the ending was Ed and that dude sitting in the car and Getaway starts again, and Ed starts jamming out.

i questioned my entire life.

Getaway
Sleeping By Myself

I would not have expected the day it came out that Mind Your Manners may have ended up being my favorite LB song.

Yeah, I might say Sleeping by Myself is the best song on LB at least on the album. Live, Lightning Bolt is the best.

It's primarily the production aesthetic, though the performance itself seems to takes cues from that faux-bohemian campfire festival stomp-along vibe that I hate in popular music, so that's not doing it any favours either.

It's just an overwhelmingly unpleasant song to listen to.

This feels completely off the mark. When I hear "Sleeping By Myself", both in the instrumental arrangement and in the harmonic and melodic turns it takes, it seems very clear that they're going for an older, AM radio country-ditty feel; I hear Loudon Wainwright, the Louvin Brothers, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant (the vocal harmonies at the very end being the first and only time Pearl Jam has sounded like the Everly Brothers). Plus, the stomp-alongs you speak of strive for an overall bigness that I think is completely absent from "Sleeping By Myself", which, even in its few moments of release, feels modest and quaint. I like this song a lot.

This feels completely off the mark. When I hear "Sleeping By Myself", both in the instrumental arrangement and in the harmonic and melodic turns it takes, it seems very clear that they're going for an older, AM radio country-ditty feel; I hear Loudon Wainwright, Moby Grape, the Louvin Brothers, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant (the vocal harmonies at the very end being the first and only time Pearl Jam has sounded like the Everly Brothers). Plus, the stomp-alongs you speak of strive for an overall bigness that I think is completely absent from "Sleeping By Myself", which, even in its few moments of release, feels modest and quaint.

I don't know, I think it's what Matt's playing and an underlying bounce that comes from Ed having written the song on the ukulele.

I agree that it's not a big, bombastic example of that vibe - it's that rhythm that I find so unbearable, though, that jaunty shuffle.

i like that shuffle to begin with, but I especially like it in what is an otherwise lonely song that is trying to be brave about it. It's endearing.

I'd love to see pearl jam experiment more in that direction

SBM is like the only song that doesn't feel like immensely watered-down over-produced clean-cut Pearl Jam.

I agree I'd like to hear them go more in this direction because it's one of the only songs that felt authentic and like Eddie was in his wheelhouse
