    To me the meaning is clear...I'd still like to know "when" though. No luck at through searches.

    Maybe some of the best advice Eddie has ever gotten

    AND

    The best advice for all of our lives as well.

    This is my favorite Ed quote ever (well for now at least heheheheeee...and has been for a while, but I'm fickle when it comes to Ed's quotes ...there are so many meaningful ones)

    Be Sound....Yes... :D

    Love IT :P

    Just watched your version of "Hard To Imagine" and "Unthought Known"

    I to say that Hard to Imagine was mesmerizing.

    Love all the layers especially.

    Wonderful Job.

  • Heard it for the first time today on Sirius PJ radio. Sonofabitch. A lot of beautiful frailty in there. Really dig the line about contemplating suicide and thinking about your last words. Jesus Christmas, heavy shit.

    Japanese 'Lost Dogs' promo, eh? I'll have a look.

    I'm so happy people besides me are hearing it. I found it quite a while ago and its haunted me ever since.
    Ed's emotions are so raw and he seems so vulnerable and open here....it really touches my heart. Its the story of everyone's life, at one time or another, we've all been hurt to the core and coming back sometimes feels like it will never happen, but it does.
    BE SOUND
    I've been saying it ever since when someone needs to be brought up out of the ashes. IT seems to convey everything you need when you're down and hopeless, Be Sound.
    Wonderful.
    And I understand fully why Ed will probably never play this "song" live, ever.
    It's so personal.
    but I'm really glad its out there. IT always makes me feel like I'm not alone when it feels really really hard some days. I'm not alone, and I just have to Be Sound, and it will all come together in the end.
    Anyway, Love It and Love that people are hearing it now too. Absolutely hauntingly beautiful.
    peace,
    jo

    Just heard this song randomly watching Pearl Jam stuff on YouTube... Coming across gems like this is why this band continues to amaze me. What makes this even more incredible is that I went through pretty much the same exact situation at the age of 24.

    isn't it completely and utterly awesome how so many of the lyrics to so many of the songs could and do pertain to each of us on such a personal level? its not just this "song" but so so so many others. I'm always totally floored to realize that there's another one out there that does exactly that. :)
