    That is odd if true because "Parting Ways" is about Ed and Beth breaking up but they'd just gotten married in '95 and there were songs on No Code ("Hail, Hail") and Yield ("Wishlist") about their relationship that were positive.
    I wouldn't consider Hail Hail a positive love song btw. "Hail Hail for the lucky ones, I refer to those in love yeah"; he is not talking about himself but others. That said: the lyrics of PW are heartbreaking. " A chin of clay... Curtains behind her eyes". The lyrics save the song. Whole Binuaral is lyric wise mind blowing.
    So glad they played this in OKC 13. One of my fave Binaural tracks. Got to see Ed do it solo as well.
    Love this song so much. I wasn't at okc but my brother was in the pit. He called me and let me listen live during parting ways. I was so happy and shocked they were playing it. Sound was surprisingly good for cell phone. It was quite a moment. Hope I can witness it some time. Yes binaural lyrically blows my mind
    I'll third this sentiment. Musical poetry.
