Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
I think the song has some good melodies yet I don't find it easy to sing along to or recall in my head. Which you would expect for that kind of piano based tune (or perhaps it was because I was watching a Beatles cover band earlier playing 'Hey Jude' and drawing a parallel). Maybe I need a few more spins.
The minute I heard it I thought Beatles. Actually described it to someone that way today. I think it’s sneaky powerful and Axl at his best as a songwriter
Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
Would love for a leak of the demo of “The General” to occur, ideally out of someplace that is in the news. Maui and Ukraine come to mind. Would make for an awesome fundraiser (Some anonymous benefactor saying “Send $__ to the Red Cross and a second song will leak.”).
This would be a really good promotional thing if GNR gave away proceeds from single sales or portions of a concert or basically money to fundraise for Maui (it's easier and less political than Ukraine and Slash has "history" with Maui).

It grows on you. I totally missed some interesting piano stuff in the middle that got buried underneath the guitar work, speaking of the piano.
It’s no.3 on main UK itunes chart at the minute, which is pretty impressive.
Damn. That is impressive. They really should have went with this one instead of Absurd.

Some have compared the piano intro to this:

Yeah, very similar!

“I've been so upset
Harboring this hate for days
Hey, my sense of rejection
Hey, hey
Is no excuse for my behavior, hey
You pulled the gun, hey, hey
That shot and crucified my savior
Now he is no more and I am without you
Just like I was before
The way I used to be”
I love this bit. Axl should get more credit for his songwriting

I think those lyrics are pitiful woe is me rubbish.
Axl can write great lyrics. The above isn’t an example of that.

Re: Perhaps (2023) to Drop
This song has massively grown on me. I’m even liking the mix more. It’s manifestly better than Hard Skool
