Pearl Jam have released an official video for their new single, Dance Of The Clairvoyants.
Following the release of Pearl Jam's stunning new single Dance Of The Clairvoyants, the Seattle titans have just unveiled its official accompanying video.
Speaking of the slight twist in musical direction on Dance… (which is taken from the band's upcoming album Gigaton), guitarist Stone Gossard recently explained to Zane Lowe on Apple Music's Beats 1: "It's sort of the outer edge of something that we haven't tried before, a new way of configuring our sort of collaborative talents. It's going to be the variety that our fans will be excited about. There's definitely some really straight-ahead rock songs [on the album]. There's some very spare and very simple ballads. It's got it all, I think. And it's really us. We really did it by ourselves. [Frontman Eddie Vedder] did a great job. There was a pile of songs and he sort of took and really, really, in the last two months, mixed and sort of selected the tracks that really were going to be special. And he did such a great job of bringing everybody's personalities out. It was probably different than any of us would've made individually, but it really captures, I think, the spirit of the band."

Mike McCready added in a press release: “Making this record was a long journey. It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption.
“Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”

The lyrics to Dance Of The Clairvoyants are:
Confusion is… to commotion
What love is… to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control
So save your predictions
And burn your assumptions
Love is friction
Ripe for comfort
Endless equations
And tugging persuasions
Doors open up
To interpretation
Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future’s no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before
The looser things get… the tighter you become
The looser things get… tighter
The solitary man… not greater than the sum
That’s not a negative thought, I’m positive. Positive. Positive.
Falling down… not staying down
Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down
Drown in the river
Expectin’ perfection… etc.
Numbers keep falling off the calendars floor
Stuck in our boxes, windows open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots
Not recalling what they are for
I’m in love with clairvoyants cause they’re out of this world
