I haven't been over here in a while, great to see this thread on the first page!!! I love this song so much, easily one of my favorites (all time) ~ this song inspires me, gets me going, just takes me away!!!!! What an excellent concert opener. If they were to open with this song at the next concert I attend, there would be no controlling me!!!!! I love this song!!! I just can't say enough************
And VEDHEAD27, you describe this song in a way, it's like you were reading my mind!!! **********************
YES! You are more than welcome
christmas clean. haha, I love that too thumbing hitchhiker.
<~~~ listening to the Benaroya version
WOW!!!
Just Ed and that uke...it's fuckin heaven sent. As pure as can be right here! This is the only time I ever experienced this one live and I must say I am SO glad it was like this. Ahhh!!! It's perfect. This song can really do no wrong though. Regardless of the version, it always captures this same feeling that we all can't get enough of. Spiritual enlightenment to the fuckin MAX.

Forgive every being.
The bad feelings. It's just me.
I won't wait for answers.
You can't keeeeeeeeep me heeeeer-aahh.

Cannot...stop...smiling.
This song sends me beauitiful, beautiful places time and time again. You can't be kept wherever you are when listening to it. It's so true!! Ah, fuckin brilliant!!!!

i wanna rise and say a-goodnight
i wanna take a look on the other side
i've lived all these lives
it's been wonderful at night
i will live forever
you can't keep me here...
WHOA!! this part of the song, now that I am analyzing the lyrics more and more, I could SO relate to this...to me, it means that you want to explore other parts of the world and live life to the fullest NO matter what gets in your way. Say goodbye to one thing and hello to another and it is a constant change of goodbyes and hellos from one part of your life into another. The whole message is to live your life to the fullest b/c you don't know when it will all be gone.

I cannot possibly give this song enough love and appreciation....it just deserves so much and GIVES so much! Those drums marching away in the beginning? Ahhh, the way it all progresses just dives into you and forces you to drift away. What a song!
Oooh and now that everyone can finally hear Benaroya...how bout that?? Wow! Just Ed and the uke?! Holy shit. That was out of this world. All songs in that place, that setting were extremely intimate but something extra stood out about this one. Something about just Ed and his uke and these words and entire feel of this song. As much as I love those drums, it really doesn't even matter if they are there. It's the song itself. Any part of it carries the magic. There is just so much to love.

ya, this song gets over shadowed by i am mine, green disease and thumbing my way. and a lot of times they open a show with love boat captain instead of this one. an under-appreciated song maybe? i love both album and acoustic versions.
...caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go...
this tune has a deep deep deep motherfucking groove..... which i really dig...a
when i first put Riot act on i had to listento it about 5 times in a row.... before i was utterly delighted by the fucker of a guitar hook in2 save you.....
For me this song is about living, and living each day and moment to its fullest. Its about doing whatever is in your heart to do. Its about not being held down by anything-- by fear, by expectations, by others. I get the feeling Ed wrote this in Hawaii staring out at the ocean and getting that incredible sense of freedom that brings. Maybe that sums it up best. . . its about truly being free.
Just my opinion
I can totally see Eddie on the beach with sun sun setting writing this kick ass song.

AMEN!!!!! This song is so deep/magical/groovin/unique/inspiring/EVERYTHING!
*does the Can't Keep shuffle*
That intro possesses my hips everytime. It really does just hook ya and draw ya in. I remember when I first got RIOT ACT it took me forever to get passed this one.
{{Loooooove it}}}}
Makes me SMILE and definitely one of those PJ songs that makes me feel super alive!

yep.......i think that bass hook that goes down the way pulls the groove deeper.. and the bass drum just kinda forces the band to the floor its awesome.....

Oh for sure! I LOVE the guitar too. It sounds incredible....so crystal clear and twagny. There's just so many layers to this song, in the sound and in the meaning. It's so damn deep!! It touches my SOUL and forces me to groove my heart out .
Yeah, this and You Are on the same damn album?! Whew!

in terms of touching ones soul...... save you does this for me... there is something so cathartic and energising about this song.... it just seems to elevate ...... and i think that guitar riff is just so simplistically perfect... anyway this is supposed to be about cant keep......

Bump for this awe-inspiring song!!!!!
Reading your mind, huh? haha. Cool. Glad you can relate. This song is just SO deep though. Damn do I feel it.
*rides the wave*
As Stone says, the song is about "staring death in the eye and sayin 'I'm not gonna be afraid of you'. "
No matter what it means to you, it really does inspire strength beyond belief. Oh the power.
Thanks again PJ/Eddie!

I like to sing it when things are out of your control. Your boss, or someone holding the power is keeping you and the work down -- day after day - -
this song is fun to sing - theropy.
Maybe like singing to a man that beats you or a failed relationship...
Its kind of like the song that comes before rearviewmirror.
for sure - wow...good call
from my window to yours
I can totally see Eddie on the beach with sun sun setting writing this kick ass song.
