Going to radio the in two weeks says Billboard.
I haven't heard it yet. I'm surprised I haven't picked up the Target CD as much as I like The Fixer. This might clinch it.
EDIT : MODIFIED TITLE

The song is called "Just Breathe", not "Must Breathe".
This is a good song, but it's a little too light for radio, I think. I think "Amongst The Waves" would be a much better follow-up.

Strange, the Billboard release says Must Breathe. I guess M and J are neighbors?

They aren't too far away on the keyboard. Trust me though, it's "Just Breathe". It's like that on the album, everywhere.

Don't have it yet to confirm. But Just Breathe makes more sense as a title I guess.

You could always just do a quick internet search if you have any doubt.

I think they should do a joint release.
Release this to Hot AC and Triple A, and release one of the heavier tracks (my pick being "Got Some") to Alternative and Active Rock.
Sincerely,

So, this must be a rare Pearl Jam ballad? I still can't get enough of The Fixer myself. That has really (and eventually) caught on for me.

It's just love songs that they've never really produced. Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus Yeah, Artie, I have no idea how you concluded that. "Alive", "Black", "Crazy Mary", "Daughter", "Elderly Woman...", "Better Man", "Nothingman", "Immortality", "Who You Are", "Wishlist", "Elderly Woman... (Live)", "Last Kiss", "Nothing As It Seems", "I Am Mine", "Gone", and "Love Reign O'er Me" could all be considered rock ballads. "Jeremy", "I Got Id", "Given To Fly", "Light Years" venture into that territory. In fact, IMO, upbeat songs like "World Wide Suicide" and "The Fixer" have been relative outliers in the PJ catalog. Usually, they've released those types of songs as first singles whose initial airplay and high chart peak was more of a result of anticipation and rarely resulted in lasting success (see "Animal", "Spin The Black Circle", and more). |

And the theory that every band, if given enough time, will record a song with the word "Breathe" in the title is once again reinforced, this time by Pearl Jam.

Yes, a lot of those are slow tempo songs. I'm not sure many qualify as love ballads. I can't speak for Just Breathe yet.

Just Breathe is absolutely a love ballad and easily one of my fave songs from PJ in years and I'm an unabashed HUGE fan of the band from day one.

Picked up the CD today. The first four songs are as good to me as any first four songs from any Jam album. Then it hits a wall with this song. I can't believe this is the next choice. I also like The End. The rest is pretty on track for the band. Hit and miss.

This song most likely isn't going to Active or Alternative ... its most likely Hot AC, where its already getting spins...but the song is still amazing, whether Artie thinks so or not. Not every song has to be loud guitars and fast.

You didn't expect Pearl Jam to crack the chart? You must seek help.

Not this one, nope! At least not in the top 40, which it officially has not reached anyway. And such a short memory you may have. Their last single before The Fixer failed to chart. Love, Reign O'er Me just didn't have a radio feel to it. Neither does this to me.
Johnny Guitar would be nice next as well for me.

You didn't expect Pearl Jam to crack the chart? You must seek help. if you haven't noticed Artie has the most ridiculous and usually self contradictory statements on this board. This is an amazing song but because Artie doesn't think so then the rest of the world must be MAD...MAD I TELLS YA....to think it could ever be played by radio. |
