Alright, I thought it was time that this beautiful masterpiece get its own well deserved thread.
This song is simply gorgeous! I was lucky enough to witness its premire at Beneroya and I was just in total awe. It brought tears to my eyes. I haven't had a Pearl Jam song touch me this close and this personal in a long time. It was already up there with favs like Off He Goes. Talk about power. If this song isn't proof and then some that these boys SO still have it then I don't know what is. This song truely is a gift from above and I thank the PJ gods for delivering it to everyone. Now we can all experience the magic for ourselves.
These words are so deep, so poetic. The imagery here is just breath-taking. And I love how as sad as it seems, the main message, "goodbye for now". The hope behind this song is truely touching.
So many lines really get me but I especially love this one....
"he was guiding me, love, his own way"
So beautiful!!!
Everything about it is just that! These words, Ed's voice, the emotion, the passion, and the crystal clear sleightly haunting yet upbeat music and how it totally echos all of the feeling behind Ed's voice.
What a song! Give it up for this new PJ song... already one of the best ever if ya ask me.

* Man Of The Hour *
tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
crash, then on their way
father, he enjoyed collisions
others walked away
the snowflake falls in may
and the doors are open now
as the bells are ringing out
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
nature has its own religion
gospel from the land
father ruled by long division
young men, they pretend
old men comprehend
and the sky breaks at dawn
shedding light upon this town
we all come 'round
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
and the road, the old men paved
the broken seams along the way
the rusted signs, they're just for me
he was guiding me, love, his own way
now the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
as the curtain comes down
i feel that this is just
goodbye for now

* How incredible this song is
and
* How kick ass it is that it's up for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice award.
Again I love the hope in this song.
"now the man of the hour
has taken his final bow

goodbye for now "
I love how Ed says "final" bow like it's seen to many as a definite "he's gone and never coming back" kinda deal, but then Ed says that he feels that it is just goodbye for now...therefore he can experience this goodbye in a different way, and kinda be peaceful and at ease with it all. He is hopeful and faithfull.
Just beautiful! The beauty and hope here are truely touching and inspiring.
Thanks again PJ!
Thank you Eddie! You really created something extra extraordinary here.

A truly magnificent song, thanks for making a thread for this song Lydia!
Inspired me to write a word to my son, Eddie's voiced moved me into my own situation with raising my son alone and wondering if we should seek out his father, read this let me know whata think...all thanks to PJ............
Separate but one you are my son
Your soul was born onto me so I could learn not necessarily teach
Dreams of regret worn slowly away, it’s only in your struggles I wished he stayed –
Balance act in my hands; love you enough and not keep so you knew how to land – to let a child stand is a bittersweet demand, hard as a woman to raise a little man.
My guilty head try’s to hide - better to let it go my heart tells me inside.
His father gone I don’t know what to do, I can never fulfill the role of two?
The question lingers and what should I do, this is his journey I serve not rescue.
This door I must open but only he can go through, to know the man he never knew.
In his own time and because his own mind, my son must decide the next steps to climb, this man to know or let him go. Whatever the way I remain to help him know, that he is the most precious man bestowed.
If I help him and point to the clues I fear for his heart and the pain to ensue, Love and I will see him through to bandage the image of the father he outgrew.
Free to be Alex and the man he becomes never to own only a fatherless son.
Separate but one he is my son, I wish him to be freed from the mysterious one, through his own decision for his own reason.
I've been listening to this one on repeat for about an hour. LOL! Yeah, some may say it's crazy but I know PJ people understand.

~~HOPE~~
There is so much of it here and I can't help but get teary eyed with each listen. This song just demands to be felt!
*bows down to Eddie*
This really is a masterpiece.
THANK YOU PJ!

It's a very inspirational song. Thank you to Pearl Jam.
I want to know if you have seen Big Fish and your opinion of the movie. Because after you seen the movie the song's meaning grows at least 50 time better.
I'm not the same without you here... How can i quit to be there... Sit and stare... Stare, begging for a prayer.
I agree 100%! I can't believe how beautiful and amazing this song is. It is definitely one of their best!
it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)
... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....
He was guiding me
Along his own way

Just a suggestion
"The live shows? Well, that's church on Sundays"
But it is one powerful song though.

Congrats on the nominations!!:D
"The live shows? Well, that's church on Sundays"
I wish they would of won the Golden Globe though, but how can you compete with a bundh up yuppy assholes up the Lord Of The Rings butt?
I like rusted sings we ignore throughout our life, choosing the shiny ones instead.
Thanks Ed!
"The live shows? Well, that's church on Sundays"
You will be remembered and revered for an eternity for your creations.
You got to spend it all
Bump again for this song. It doesn't seem to be gettin much appreciation so show some love for MOTH and for Ed for writing it.
Love love love
I'm in such a cheesily happy mood! Apologies for my behaviour!
"The live shows? Well, that's church on Sundays"
:S
Any reason!?
