    I find this whole "piss break song" thing odd...I've never found the choice of pissing being more important to me than enjoying any song live, if I need a piss then it can be during anything - if you gotta go you gotta go. Can't think of anything worse than having a plan during a concert of when to empty my bladder.

    These last few days have been some strange ones, even by Ten Club standards.

    Pissing breaks can be annoying though. I was taking a piss break during Amsterdam 2 - my blatter was exploding - and what do I hear, far away in the toilet? Release in the first encore :fp: . Terrible experience.

    Fair enough - I'm like a camel tbh...

    I've watched the video twice now and this song choked me up on both occasions. It's a stunning triumph. Having followed the band since day one and witnessed their evolution over the years - this song just felt perfectly right and fitting. The bit that gets me right in the heart and chokes me up is when the whole band sing at the end with the "fear goes away" part - to me it's like YES, these guys have got my back like they have for the past 20-odd years and they're giving this rousing, positive message. Superb song and I can totally understand why Brendan O Brien raved about this. Bring on the album.

    Agree with everything you said there, a stunning triumph. The type of song I felt was missing from their massive catalogue of amazing songs, a very uplifting, feel good ballad, only one that comes close imo is Given to Fly. I especially like the end where they are all singing together and wish it would keep going on and on---I guess that's why I've hit the replay button over 100 times now :)
    It's Evolution, Baby!

    What a great song. I can't wait to hear this live as well. You better believe Mike will offer an even more extended solo that is heart shredding, and you better believe we will have 20,000+ people singing "ahaaa ohooo" at the end of the song.

    This strikes a cord.

    yep,thats why i understand David's thread when he talked about anthems..

    the "ahaaa ohooo" at the shows will be a must sing-experience.. from now on.

  • Even though I'm not a fan of the style of this song, I must admit....when I listen to it my goosebumps do jumping jacks. They're up, They're down, They're up again and down again.

    I guess it's true... Eddie can sing the phone book and give me goosebumps!
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

  • If the singles are going to be released as backspacer single were, with no actual b-side, they can save us some moeny and release MYM b/w Sirens as two sides of the same coin and save us some money... if the b-sides are songs which didn't make the album, bring them on separately!
    Would be happy with them either way, no matter how they`d release them :D

    The song will change live anyway, this is only a first form.
    I remember Just Breathe hurting my ears when hearing it first, but Eddie got it right with time.
    I normally wouldn't be a fan of Black, I would doze off, but the way they PJ performs it, together with crowd involvement, makes the song thousand times better, it could happen with Sirens.

    I think some people don't get the lyrics. Or I don't. 'Arms of another man' part means that, if the person the song is about chooses life, and doesn't drop dead immediately, he (Eddie) will understand, right?

    I don't really think that guys decided to make a radio friendly song and thought 'lets write a song about mortality and fear of dying, yeah, that's the plan'. It is just that they combined dark topic with catchy stuff.
    Something like 'Alive'. Might end being like Alive, a celebration.

    The video is fitting, imo, exposing vulnerability, flaws, mortality...and beauty of our guys.
    It's Rembrandt. :D

    It is a small wonder for anyone in PJ age bracket who doesn't court the media, to make any lists or charts, so, well done PJ.

    Goodnight this is a good post!!! Hits the nail on the head IMO.
    As far as the song meaning: I have only listened to it a couple of times (like to wait) but I think Ed is just saying that he loves his gal so much that even if he forces out due to his own dis function and into the arms of another man Ed will realize this and try and patch it up with her.

    I've read the lyrics on the internet,and I thought that they may have gotten some of the words wrong.
    In that verse you're talking about,I think he's trying to say that if he passes first,he wouldn't like to see her in the arm's of another man after he's gone. IDK. It's about realizing that age is coming on and we're no Spring Chickens anymore.Foresight and reflections. My guess. ;)

    Oh Good Lord, what a great song. Nuff' said.
  • I absolutely adore this song. I can't stop listening to it, I love the sentiment, I love the rythm, everything.

    The first time I heard it, I thought Mike was about to break into an extended Pink Floyd-esq solo. I hope he does when they play it live.

    I really liked Mind Your Manners, but this sets the benchmark for the album. Stunning!
  • Love how mike switches guitars and eddie picks up one. Cant wait to see this live :D

    So, I just played this video for the woman, halfway thru the song she looks at me and says, "what's this crap". :D For me the beginning and guitar solo kill this song. I just find it incredibly boring.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I'm surprised you can't buy the video on iTunes.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    If this is a sign of things to come on the album, and you now they are still hanging out to great songs that we haven't heard yet for the remainder of the album - we're in store for a DOPE album!

    I am very curious about My Fathers Son, Infallible, Pendelum and Yellow Moon. I think that these are going to make or break the album...

    For some reason I get a Binaural sense from the descriptions...
