On Sept 24th around 10:30 at night my wife and I were reading the words to sirens on my iPad, we were discussing what the song was about, and then my phone rang, as we were talking about the meaning of sirens, my phone call was to inform me that my closest,dearest, best friend just died of a heart attack. What a kick in the nads this news was to me. Almost too ironic the timing of this. It was real hard to listen to 'Sirens' for a couple of weeks but I have learned to really appreciate the song even more. I have tickets for Charlotte next Wednesday and I would love to see the guys play 'Sirens' , it would make the perfect tribute to my best friend. Will I lose it during this, absolutely!!! Ed does this to us in so many ways. Thanks for sharing the pearl jam experience.

the song isn't about dying specifically ... it's about accepting our mortality and living our lives in a way that cherishes the moments we have with the people we love the most ...

This song makes me cry almost every single time I hear it. I think it's beautiful once you get past the beginning part, which seems malformed/too rough compared with the rest of the song. Once you past the part where Ed frustratingly mispronounces "Sirens" repeatedly, it's golden. I love it, even though he sings Sigh-Runs0

I cannot stop listening to this song.
And when I'm not listening to it, it's still playing in my head and I'm still singing along...

It's a brilliant song.
It's got some rough treatment on the Soundgarden forum though!Wembley 2000 • Reading 2006 • Paris 2006 • Wembley 2007 • Shepherds Bush 2009 • Manchester 2009 • O2 Arena 2009 • Hyde Park 2010 • Arras 2010 • Manchester 2012 • Manchester II 2012 • Leeds 2014 • Milton Keynes 2014 • Amsterdam 2018 • Amsterdam II 2018 • London 2018 • London II 2018 • Hyde Park II 2022

Was sort of thinking that the album might be better served if you switch Sirens with Pendulum. It would still be a jarring transition, but the darkness of Pendulum might serve the mood better then Siren's immediate emoting.....Maybe.
But i can see how, from where the band sits, you don't bury the single halfway into the album. Sort of like U2-Achtung Baby. "One" doesn't really fit well where it's put on that album, IMO, but again, you don't bury a song that good down at track 8 or something.
