Just Breathe

I apologize if this was in another thread but I didn't see it. I read this over at the 'other' PJ site.

I love the song...but I don't think that it is a good choice for a single. Alt rock stations won't play it...it isn't a top 40 type of song either.

Oh well...the band always throws curveballs and in some cases, they don't choose the obvious choice for a single.

They're jumping the gun. This hasn't been posted anywhere reputable. It's all based off of a cryptic message on a Portuguese fan site. I wouldn't be surprised if it's completely untrue or PJ releases Just Breathe in Portugal and something like Got Some in the U.S.

I think Just Breathe is a great song, but I dont see it being a good single(at least in the US.) Like the previous poster said, alt rock stations will play it for about 2 days before they never do again, if they play it all. Got Some or Supersonic would be a much better choice. Just Breathe is more of an album track than a single.

Amongst the Waves or Got Some are the only choices that wouldn't make me complain.

If this is true, which I hope it is, it is the first smart move with a single this band has made since Given to Fly.

This song will get major air-play. It's a genious move. I'm really excited if this is true.

Just last night, I had a girl I'm friends with say she listened to the new album with her Dad. She said they both heard Just Breathe and looked at each other and said that's a hit.

It is a hit. Got Some would be Life Wasted II... and Amongst would be In Hiding II. Instead, I believe we will have Elderly Woman II with Just Breathe.

Agreed.

For all those who say this isn't a Top 40 single, are you listening?

'Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you?'

Those are the most schmaltzy and radio-ready lyrics Ed has ever written. Girls all over the place will give up their wallets for this song.. and probably their virginity.

I'd like to see them perform it on Letterman with a string quartet.

i can't imagine pearl jam releasing another single. especially if what mike said is true and they may release another album of left over tracks in 6 months. There won't be any b sides....and they already release every live album you could possibly want. So what's the point.

people can buy one song on itunes if they want it.

Perhaps not. But I'm not sure ABC execs were trying to capture the "ex-marine" demographic with the whole "Izzy catches teh cancer" arc.

Not that I've ever seen it, mind you.
