Pearl Jam has just released their latest single, Dance of the Clairvoyants. This is the first single that has been released from their newest album Gigaton that will be out in March. Dance of the Clairvoyants is the first step in ending the almost seven year dry streak without an album being released. Gigaton will be their 11th album and this will essentially be the newest “decade” of albums for Pearl Jam.
Before listening to Dance of the Clairvoyants, I had to look up the definition of the word, “Clairvoyants.” In a nutshell, it is almost a sixth sense where someone can see events or people who exist in the future. After learning that little tidbit, I knew this song was going to give me a joyride.
My first impression of the Dance of the Clairvoyants song lyrics blew me away. The sound of the music also blew me away. It reminded me a bit of Tom Morello’s collaboration with Steve Aioki in How Long from 2018. To me this song means that, despite being able to ignore the past and live in the future, having a constant futuristic mindset becomes mundane and transforms into your present. Vedder finds the Clairvoyants positive and rosy worldview admirable, he feels that they are not realistic and are not understanding of how life works.
Overall, I really enjoyed the song and I am excited for the full album to be released in March and for Pearl Jam’s Tour for 2020.
@ibedave when you still have to look up words like “clairvoyant” maybe start off with something lighter, like anything on the radio nowadays, and even more, leave interpretation to they who have more than 20 words in there lexicon. Eddie Vedder once was a poet, a soul singer that graced us with non-stop aphorism like “he who forgets will be destined to remember,” and now we have a Talking heads rip off that tries for a knockout punch but leaves us lifers with just the aesthetics of something bigger than it is, and lost in a world of people looking...
