the theme (carrying on when times are hard) matches Some Nights, as does the I-IV-V harmony. the opening melody is the same too
both songs also give me huge "millennial optimism" energy. like you just voted for obama
...
production on the beginning of this track reminds me of Fade - the vocal samples, the delay on those vocal samples, but especially the driving bass synth. same tone, same rhythm, just different notes
i love the sound of the bass synth and riff so much on both tracks. could probably do a sick DJ mix of the two songs
...
i love the slow intro and buildup and then the main riff is so good. it's so melody driven and the melody sounds so good played on slide guitar
feels so good when the long buildup ends and the slide guitar melody hits at 1:05
...
such a cool beat switch at 2:11

eric clapton getting mogged by his piano player’s solo 5:48
i like eric clapton but imo its criminal to even mention him in the same sentence as jimi hendrix
it's so different from the final version, the rhythm is so different. i love the bossa nova guitar pattern on the final song, i wonder how they got there from this first version
on second listen, the instrumental lick here is repeated note for note by the horns on Meat Eater0:090:09 - to the point where my mind filled in the followup riff from Meat Eater0:150:15 when i first listened to this
i wonder if that was the explicit inspiration here or they just happened to come up with the same lick
...
close intervals left ringing across multiple strings make me think of Dawn in the Adan
...
listening to this song on the first warm day in nyc after a long winter hits like crack
...
0:00
this instrumental riff is pretty close to the intro of Meat Eater0:000:00
...
this song starts with a short instrumental riff and then a 30 SECOND LONG drum fill @0:02
fuck yeah
...
gives me same swaggering carefree feeling that Carefree Summer does
