Good friend of mine actually has heard this song. Here's a couple of lyrics he texted me today:
"Sirens, Sirens... Red, loud and free...
Sirens, Sirens, the bitch should have ended up with me"
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Nah, it is much more near-the-end-of-the-set kinda song or in the middle-of-a-second-set song... Like Black!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Nothing can or will ever compare to Black in the slightest
I just found this thread and tapped in to see what others thought. I'm glad you said this. Will we ever see EV sing this song on unplugged and add more expressive emotion to the song than the studio cut? No. Hey it might be a great song, But to compare it to Black? Give me a f@#%ing break. That guy saying that is an idiot. But I wouldn't be embarrassed to say I'd like to be proven wrong. :shock:

Really don't see the issue people have with Backspacer, I enjoy that album. The great thing with PJ is that albums are different.

The opening to the first four tracks are awesome, Just Breathe is beautiful, Unthought Known is inspirational etc. I believe it was Jeff who said "we always wanted to be that chameleon band like Led Zeppelin." (loose quote)

I'll take Backspacer any day.
I love that quote of Jeff's - always remember it because LZ is one of my three favorite bands of all.time.
I do like much of Backspacer, but it also has a few of my least favorite PJ songs ever - Super Sonic and Force of Nature are big stinkers in particular for me.But I love Amongst the Waves and Unthought Known (despite that gems and rhinestones line, which distracts me), and a lot of the others are pretty good.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
I may be wrong but I don't recall seeing sirens on any of the questionably legit tracklists so far, right?

Comparing a new song to an epic classic is just promoting disappointment and failure. I want it to be great on its own without comparison. Damn media always fucks it up.

agreed, for the most part. the problem backspacer has been the same problem all of their records have had since the turn of the century (haha--i like saying that): they're way too inconsistent. this was not a problem in the 90's. everything since has had quite a few brilliant moments mixed with a bunch of mediocre songs. i still love every album though...............and with that said, perhaps if zeppelin was around for as long as pj has been, perhaps they'd have the same issue. so i guess this is to be expected.

Now, that doesn't sound anything like Black. Could be the lyrics to Sirens though!

Anything is possible...
