Sooo true. That's why you had to add another sis to the family.

MeddleDeal

Very true sis!;) You and jaya are my sisters, and also kaddi, come on...NYC? hahaha.

I agree Aye. DAMN that song is so fuckin' touching! Words can't express how I feel about this song.:) eddie is a poet!

fredlig verden

I got so choked up seeing this one live.....

MeddleDeal

it makes me upset that people go out of their seats while Eddie is singing this song to us. Really sad.

The man is opening up his whole heart to us, and people just don't give a shit about it.

Sorry. That just makes me mad!!

I´m listening to it right now... it´s sweet...

PhillyPJ

awesome song. eddie does it again. simple yet effective

PhillyPJ

yea anyone who gets up for a beer run during this song is clueless and must not appreciate PJ.

but at every show you have people who only know Evenflow and Alive and are at the concert to get shit-faced drunk and thats about it.

This song is one of my favorites too.

yep. that is how it was in Little Rock, well, in the rows in front. Plus, there was this fat dude that kept getting in OUR way, and almost crushed my camera. At least I was in a row that the other members of the jamily, who did not get 10c tixs, were at:D

Great song and good times!

THANK YOU! That is the damn truth.

MeddleDeal

A true fan really will sit down and appreciate ANYTHING the band plays and have a great time:D

This song is still one of my favorites off of Riot Act!

Absolutely beautiful song.

I wish I could let me feelings out like that.

"All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives.
Choosing the shiny ones instead."

just call me a rusted sign

VEDHEAD27

:( Don't say that monster. Such a sad thing.

That line really gets to me.



*I let go of a rope. Thinking that's what held me back.
And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck*


I still can't get over that one either. Just gorgeous! This song is seriously some of Ed's best work...all around.

MeddleDeal

I agree w/all of ya. It is such a beautiful song, and I think it is his best yet, such emotions coming out of that song.

It could be translated into a number of things, like dealing w/death, and why the people you love the most, could be taken away from you like THAT, or also could be a love that has gone away, and will never return, and you must go on w/your life.

Yeah totally Nadia. Overall I just see it as "things will get better, wether you can see it now or not...they will get better." It's a very sad song, but when it comes down to it it's a very positive song in the since of convaying a message of acceptance and strength. Seeing the best in a the worst situation possible. Hurting so much, but realizing (even though it may feel this way) that's it's not gonna last forever. Very strong words. Very strong message. Very strong song...period.

I agree Lyd, being positive in the worst possible of things, very beautiful! Eddie can do no wrong w/any of his song, and this is the most powerful and positive song he has written in a while. WOW!! Totally blows my mind, and just lets his guard down for once to sing about this beautiful wonderful song.

good analogy lyd:)

The best line that Eddie Vedder ever wrote is:

"I turned my back and now there's no turning back"

How many of us have done that in our lives?

By the way, not all of the people who are drunk at the show are there to hear Evenflow and Alive. Ed gets drunk as the show goes on does he not?
