Walk Around the Moon
 

The more I listen to this song, the more I dislike it. It feels empty, the lyrics aren't engaging at all and the only thing redeeming about it at all is Jeff. I wanted to make a poll to see how people feel. What do you think about the song?

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I think it’s very good. Shame to see people down on it.

You must never took a trip in a psychedelic realm

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I smoked pot every single day of my life for about 6 years straight...maybe something more psychedelic than that? I feel like the song is about a mushroom. Red "dress" , polka dots..

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Yes the way I see it, which really does make much sense

Even the background screen has mushrooms displayed it looks like

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I like it, but only mildly right now. It hasn’t clicked for me yet. Very interested to hear the studio version.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I'm definitely enjoying it. Very much looking forward to the studio cut, too.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I like it, but I don't love it. Would like to see how it sounds after a few more performances, and the studio cut.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

listening to Tim Brown's version now and its not bad. like others have said I'm gonna be interested to hear it evolve and especially a studio version.

P.S. - if you haven't already done so DL Tim Browns pull right now....sounds so much better than the SiriusXM version

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Dave said himself last year that it’s about a mushroom. No mystery here.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Indifferent. It is what it is. Not great, not terrible. I much prefer Shake Me Like a Monkey and Squirm to it. Seven, even.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I'm not feeling the beginning part of the song, love pretty much everything from "jump back" on, really solid tune. I like it more than Bismarck.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

If Walk Around the Moon were a meal, I'd have to pair it with a tall glass of Trouble With You. Who's hungry?

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Or thirsty...?

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Feeling a strong Indifferent to a light No for me

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I'm a fan. That chorus is great.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

This is how I feel. I voted indifferent.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I’m not sure yet. I feel like Dave sings too much on it. Wish the song breathed a bit more. But there’s parts of it I like.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

d). Didn't listen/haven't heard

kind of afraid, after reading these posts. Might wait a bit to give the song a chance to evolve. But saying goes, you can polish a turd... :shrug

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Of the 28 people who have responded yes or no, 24 of them have responded yes, and the takeaway is that's a scary turd?

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

The comments tend to be more harsh than the polls. If you didn’t see the poll and just read the comments you might think it’s 50/50. I think that’s usually the nature of message boards.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I haven’t listened to the tape yet, but saw it both Friday and Saturday. I liked it Friday, loved it Saturday, and now it’s stuck in my head. I hope to see it again in Alpharetta.

I’m very happy to have a new song that features Jeff on the flute.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Saturday version is less shaky than Friday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4vAkzvys58

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

It's interesting. Much in the same way "She" was on CT. If I was at a show, I wouldn't say "Nice" when it started. I would say, "Oh yeah, this song."

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

I'm a fan, it's been the song stuck in my head the most after seeing both shows. There are a couple parts I'm not huge on, like the way he was attempting to sing the "round and round inside of my head" part and the quick transition into "I know, you got." I think it would benefit from letting it breath a bit more there. But it definitely picks up in the "big stand, jump back" section and Jeff's flute part and the whole outro is great. I do think this will end up being a better studio track though and I'm excited to eventually hear that version.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Jason put Tim's audio over some great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu1grCX5csc

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Haven't been this excited about a new song in a long time. I absolutely love it.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Raven and Rooftop had a baby. More horns and it’s on Busted Stuff. Currently it’s a solid Away From the World tube.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Copperpot's mix gave me a completely new take on the song. This will be an absolute studio monster. Live, it definitely needs a little polishing, but it's very vintage weird Dave. Drive in Drive out meets The Riff.

Re: Walk Around the Moon
 

Voted Yes, but am just slightly leaning that way at the moment. Need to hear studio, and a more polished live version. Kind of worried that Dave advertised this as one of the best he's ever written. Leaves me a bit wary of the other new unheard songs.
