Hence, my own conclusion is that I think Jon puts high emphasis on lyrics over other parts of the song (the most evident with Welcome to wherever you are notion of being a future hit). But when lyrics are good and/or important to him, it's probably not very good proxy for a hit or hook potential of the song in general.

Is it fair that I now typed this opinion of mine, even though others may or may not agree, may or may not get any insight from this? Or should I just type cool and be accepted into the cool club?

I think both "camps" need to temper this meta-discussion btw. Nor is repeated, excess negativity insightful with calls of not even listening to new releases, but same goes for these "aren't you tired of expressing your opinion on online discussion board" calls
I know what a discussion board is, thanks. You just say the same thing endlessly and it's so boring. By all means give your view on something, but you don't need to incessantly repeat you view. We're not stupid, we can get your point.

And you have to realise that when you are discussing something like musical preferences there is not an objectively correct answer. People will have different tastes. You have to stop asserting that your view is the way everyone else sees things, and that you know how things are in Europe. I live in Europe too and I think most of what you say about what works and doesn't work in Europe is total bollocks.

Alright, what is total bollocks? If you want to discuss on the discussion board, then discuss. I'm interested. And I don't say this with malice, I'm curious about your perspective.

But don't just come in and wave the cool flag and just cause I am elaborate with my opinion and perspective attack me as I am some kind of obnoxious troll.

I couldn't care less about changing your opinions, this isn't why I write with passion and position. And certainly I'm not asserting my views on anyone, just expressing them and trying to tie some loose ends, write about what I care, etc.

For example, I refrained about writing about production of We Made It Look Easy until I hear whole song and to give chance that my initial baffling reaction is unfounded. But when whole song is out, surely I can write it, not just to pinpoint my general dislike of Shanks (cause if you missed it, I praised Shanks production on 2020 numerous times), but because it is a relevant discussion point on a discussion board on the topic that discusses this particular song. Or is that deemed "unnecessary", "tiring", "boring", whatever?

On a further note, when I am full of joy that Living Proof is a song I really like, I'm met with hipster cooldowns like it's not really good etc etc. But when I make critical reply as with this song, or with Kiss the Bride for which one I think it's a really cool melody, but travesty that Jon didn't retake his vocals, he is destroying the song in that little snippet already, is it frowned upon? So if I like the song, it's just your opinion dude, and if I don't like it, then stop asserting your opinions on others?

Not a fan of that chorus. Not a fan of Fast Cars either, so it's no suprise that this is doing nothing for me...

It didn't grab me like Living Proof did, but it didn't totally turn me off either. I guess I'll have to wait for the whole song?

From what I’ve heard so far, I hope Forever won’t be another 2020: a great song surrounded by a pile of turd.

Jon confirmed that the music video being recorded the other day in New Jersey was for 'We Made It Look Easy'
