Most likely the first single since 'Forever' will be released next month
'Love Lounge'. I haven't decided yet if this is a really dumb or really cool title.
Anyway, let the speculation begin!!!!

As a very actively engaged Live fan for several decades, I am trying to wait out my original wave of thoughts and feelings about this song, the length and diversity of the set list, the touring and marketing and management, the participation of extra drummers and guitar players in the songwriting process, studio and onstage, the scarcity of new music after 18 months of time spent together, etc., until I can be more reflective on it. None of those issues are new. It’s the same thing, different year for a Live fan. But for now, I will say that it has indeed been quite a wild ride since The Distance To Here was released in 1999. It speaks to how profoundly life-altering and brilliant Mental Jewelry, Throwing Copper, Secret Samadhi and The Distance To Here were, that many of us have been hanging on with passion and hope for a resurgence of their songwriting and creativity that more closely resembles the first four albums that captivated so many. In these tribalistic times of “rooting for our team”, we are still here rooting for these good guys from York to win it all again, and we get passionate about it, and heart-broken when it’s not executed in the way our rooting interests would like to see it go. Still holding out hope.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this thread brought Adam Kowalczyk’s new band to my attention, and I emailed the address on social media and ordered their 3 song cd. I wasn’t so sure that I wanted to spend $10 to get a 3 song cd (and one of them is a cover), but I am really glad I did. It is so great. If anyone is longing for new new music that sounds like the genre and feel of classic Live, I highly recommend listening to The Band Alow and the cd is worth getting.
