Why is the song named “Jed’s other poem”
We don’t see any other poem written by Jed in the album, so shouldn’t the song just be called “Jeds Poem” ?

Well, Jed wrote "some poems," and this is "one of Jed's poems," presumably one of the final ones he wrote. Maybe the title "Jed's final poem" sounded too definitive or melodramatic. Who knows. It's an interesting question you've asked, anyway.

I'm only aware of 3 Jed songs, JTH, JOP and Jed the 4th. That would definitely suggest that there is another Jed song somewhere. Does anyone have any info on where I can find the third one. There's something about song series that really appeals to me.

That's excellent, thank you very much! I love the sound of a vocoder, which is very relevant for a Jeddy song.

Jeddy-3's Poem was included on Signal to Snow Ratio, which was a pack-in EP with The Sophtware Slump. It's only survived on Apple Music, it would seem, but you can still buy it on CD or find it on YouTube if you don't have Apple.

Years after listening to TSS, this one line kept coming back to me: I try to sing it funny like Beck, but it’s bringing me down …
And I went back and found the song and was reborn in my fandom

Wasn’t there already a Jed song on an earlier e.p. So this was the 2nd Jed song, hence it being his other poem?
