I remember buying the cd and record at midnight with my best friend at at the local record shop and letting the record play as I listened to it. This song makes me ball my eyes out everytime I hear it.

I sing it to my 2 year old daughter all the time. It's like a lullaby that I feal is good enough to sing to her.

Such a treat to see it being played live again. Not that I'm complaining, but it would have been a great closer to an amazing show like Benroya.

<~~~ listening to AROUND THE BEND



This song is just pure ecstasy. It is sooo beautiful. Puts me in a total euphoric, relaxed state. I just love hearing that guitar slide along. There is so much detail in this song. You can hear everything so perfectly. Even Ed's extended "d" and the end of singing "Around the bend

---

d". Every breath, every strum of the guitar. It's all so crisp and clear which just seems to add to the overall pure feeling of this song. It's wonderful! An acoustic guitar and Ed's voice?! These are the things dreams are made of. Soo peaceful.

AROUND THE BEND is a dream come true.




::
All evenings close like this.
All these moments that I've missed.
Please forgive me, won't you dear?
Please forgive and let me share with you around the bend

the splenour of this song is powerful... and yet every time i hear it i still get this chill... like it's the first time...

mmmmmmmmmmm yum....

*sighs and starts daydreaming*

VEDHEAD27

EXACTLY Jess!!!

You just get lost it in. It's so true. It just wraps itself around you and gently rocks you back and forth. SUCH a beauty!

I hear ya about the chills. I love how a song can be new to you over and over again, ya know? How it can constantly effect you in amazing ways. This is definitely one of those songs. The thought of this and Off he Goes being on the same damn album is just orgasmic. My god!!!!

For the past week, I have been listening to all PJ albums, oh yes!! For 3 days straight, I slept w/No Code, Yield, and Riot Act on.:)

For some strange reason, this song and Present Tense, have been in my head, I guess b/c Around the Bend has put me to sleep, in a good way, and Present Tense,well, for other reasons.

Around the Bend is a lullaby, a very sweet one, which can even put a baby to sleep. The lyrics in that song, I don't know if I said this before or not, are very beautiful.

hold your head deep in my arms
my fingertips they close your eyes
off you dream, my little child
there's a sun around the bend

these lyrics in particular, reminds me of when my niece was a little baby, craddling her in my arms, so she could go to sleep. Nothing in the world, makes me so grateful to have a little angel like her:) I should play for her that song when I come home for Thanksgiving.

I got some No Code playing on this overcasty day and it's just perfect. I just put AROUND THE BEND on repeat right now. Wooooooow! Everything about it really is so soothing. Another song that makes the PJ cry baby in me come out. haha. It just feels SO good it makes me cry. Again. Ed's voice is absolutely gorgeous in this song. I feel like this is one of those songs that take care of you.

Thanks again PJ!

Sooooooo beautiful!!!
