The second song off of No Code, think this one is very fitting to be done today, as the band performed one of their most famous shows last evening, with the drummer playing on this song who performed on it during the recording of this album.
enjoy the memories on here, unfortunately many of the best of the posts were lost when one of the boards crashed, but lets make some new ones if you all care to.

Song Of The Day(Hail Hail)
This should be a big one here, so lets read from everyone on this song.
Hail Hail
ah, is there room for both of us?
both of us apart?
are we bound out of obligation?
is that all we've got?
i get the words, and then i get to thinkin'
i don't wanna think, i wanna feel
and how do i feel?
and how do i...
if you're the only one, will i never be enough?
hail, hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
swore i'd love you till the day i die, and beyond..
are we going to the same place? if so, can i come?
it's egg rolling thick and heavy
all the past you carry
oh, i could be new... you underestimate me
if you're the only one, will i never be enough?
hail, hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
i sometimes realize i could only be as good as you'll let me
are you woman enough to be my man?
bandaged hand in hand
i find it on the run in a race that can't be won
all hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
if you're my only one, so could you only one?
i want to be your one, enough...
you won, your one, your hun
I know someday you will have a beautiful life

Re: Song Of The Day(Hail Hail)
What a great song - its pretty much a love song that sounds nothing like a love song - hard, aggressive - just a great song.....
i am lost, i'm no guide, but i'm by your side, i am right by your side

I love No Code...
...I was living out near Seattle when this album came out... I taped it off 107.7 when they played it in its entirety a week before it was released... that was a fun time...

bandaged hand in hand
That's one of my all-time favorite phrases (in addition to "I don't wanna think, I wanna feel")...describes my man and me to a T...bound to eachother by our wounds ("all the past we carry") but healing together......
Much as I associate this song with me and my love...and *being* in love, in actuality I think it's about the crossroads relationships sometimes reach ("are we bound out of our obligation...is that all we got?")...immovable (unrealistic?) expectations, and disappointments...and maybe even worse, being seen through an unchanging perspective ("oh I can be new...you underestimate me")......
Oh so much to write about this song -- beloved, it is to me -- I'll try to add some more later......

*pogo-ing up and down...BOING!!!
Definitely one of the best Jams!
And some of the best words as well...I hear a sarcastic statement in "hail hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love"...cause sometimes love isn't all that we've been conditioned to expect, but everyone talks about how wonderful it is and that your life just isn't complete without it.
"are we bound out of obligation..
is that all we've got..."
"swore I'd love you til the day I die, and beyond"
" are we going to the same place?"
These lines seems like references to marriage and that many people stay married because they feel obligated to the spouse and kids. Swore I'd love you, until death do us part...but questioning that commitment now.
"if you're the only one, will I never be enough?"
" I sometimes realize I can only be as good as you let me"
These words recognize the insecurities we all feel in relationships. Maybe I'm not good enough for this person, maybe if I changed, things would be better.
"all the past we carry.."
"bandaged hand in hand.."
We're all walking wounded in some way.

Re: Song Of The Day(Hail Hail)
i'm so torn on this one
is it altruistic or pessimistic???? - i can never decide
but every time i hear it i think "i'm one of the lucky ones"
"stupendishly handsome, beautifully smart, he had no heart"

Re: Song Of The Day(Hail Hail)
Well this song certainly has not gotten the kind of attention I thought it would get, it is one of their best live songs, always love to hear it on the boots, Eddie really puts his heart into it.
I guess so far I have not been one of the lucky ones, maybe when I make the changes in my life I need to make this will change, maybe not, but to those out there who are the lucky ones cherish it, and stay bandaged hand to hand to the one you love.
Have a good week ahead everyone!
5 down 11 to go
I know someday you will have a beautiful life

Re: Song Of The Day(Hail Hail)
what a great song! anyone else count this as a highlight on LO2L?
i see the crossroads of a relationship here, maybe a marriage or just friends...
but i do sense some sarcastic love, and the fact it begins w/ some great, grungy guitars and the noise only seems to get more melodic just makes all the sarcasm come out...

Re: Song Of The Day(Hail Hail)
I love this song. One of those songs you love the first time you hear it and it just stays in your head. I see this song as a resentful love song asking "why do things have to change?" songs. I hear him saying "please don't stop loving me, I'll change, we can share more than our past, we promised, I want you, want me too."

if one cannot control his life, will he be driven to control his death?
