In an Australian guitar mag, they were talking to Mike and asked what he contirbuted to the new album (Riot Act). Obviously they were heading on a lets plug Save You anlge, and apparently Mike took the Save you Riff and the entire song Down to Stone....
And Stone heard Down and goes, ahhh, u got somthing else?
So he gave him Save You, but after I eventually did here Down, I was like wtf? this would have been one the standout Riot Act moments, easily. So much better than say Cropduster, by a mile!
And the solos, some of Mikes best in years! GREAT SONG!
‘‘If somebody said to me, in twelve years you’ll be in a band with your brother and two carrot munching geezers who don’t like football I would have said fuck off, I’m not joining the Bee Gees.’’
down, fell by the wayside
no getting out
oh down, cry me a river
dried up and dammed
the names can be changed
but the place is still the same
i am loaded, told that all's for naught
holds me down rise, life is in motion
i'm stuck in line
oh rise, you can't be neutral
on a moving train
one day the symptoms fade
think i'll throw these pills away
and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done won't let the light escape from me
won't let the darkness swallow me
yeah!

THese two lines have been stuck on my mind for two days now and I can't seem to shake them off. Even my brother can't take it any longer, i sing this all the time. It is really a song that makes you want to sing along at the top of your lungs, like Given to Fly. I guess I'll be singing this for the whole week- it's actually helping. Heh.

Damn this song is a fuckin savior! Really, it's such a burst of strength. And with everything the badass mofo has overcome, this song just fits him perfectly. The song and the man just force you to SMILE non-stop!
Thank you PJ! Thank you Mikey!
I also love the irony of it all. It's such a happy, super positive song... "rise" is used throughout it as Eddie's voice rises. It's just perfect. The song literally LIFTS you up!!!!
DOWN=one of the happiest songs ever!

Yeah I SO agree w/you Lydia. It is an inspiring song, and it proves that out of the worst times in your life, there will be something better to come along and you have always something to look forward to:)

FUCK!!! what a fucking depressing way to start the new year but fuck it all! this song does it for me...:D

one genius moment in this song - the first word when eddie sings "down" - u think its gonna be a sad song........but listen to the inflection in his voice - he bends the note UPWARDS - so it gives the whole sentiment of the song away - you think its about being down, but really............its about the opposite........(maybe thats called over analysis!!)
.....also...... the bit where the tambourine comes in and lifts the entire tune "wont let the darkness swallow me".........
It's SO true magnus!!! You aren't overanalyzing by any means. I think we'd all agree. I mean I've said over and over in this thread how I love the irony of this song....don't be fooled by that title. The song LIFTS YOU UP!!!! Such a happy one! And yeah, it really does continue to just "rise". It's fuckin beautiful and really damn clever all at once.

Sorry to hear things are so rough. It's awesome/perfect to have a song like this to turn to though.
Keep that head up girl!

HOPE just flows non-stop outta this badboy! Damn! The whole thing just inspires strength and hope beyond belief. And right on for them playing it the other night at the awards. How can anyone possibly have "too much" of this song and the positive feelings & overall burst of life that it fuels you with?!? I just can't see it happening. What a perfect song to represent PJ and their "impact" too. We all know PJ, alone, is seriously theraputic... but DOWN specifically?!!? Doing extra, extra things. Fuckin a-mazing!!!!!!!

Mikey should definately write more songs - this song is awesome.
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
yeah i know what you mean Kaddi, it has been one HELL of a year for everyone I know, including myself. :(
BUT yes, this song is a GREAT way to lift your spirits up whenever you have a bad day, bad month, or even bad year. Hell, I went through a break-up, literally broke, jobless, etc., etc. But this song really does bring my spirits up and I agree Kaddi, "won't let the darkness swallow ME"
*HUGS to everyone who is having a bad year*
Just remember guys, listen to this song, it will LIFT us up whenever we are DOWN
