eddie on the luke the uke..

broken hearted

Don't mind me, just let me be
My eyes so far away
I don't need no sympathy
The word, the word gets overplayed

I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just a broken heart

Don't have eyes for the world outside
They're closed and turned within
Trying to find the light inside
It's lit, but growing dim...

I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just a broken heart

    this song is SO beautifull!!!
    Don't let me know we're invisible
    Don't let me know we're invisible
    We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
    Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire

    It's def appropriate during this time of the year...I mean it's tax season and I owe way too much. I could have gone to the East coast with what I'm having to pay the IRS and Calif....and now I feel broken hearted.

    Seriously, do you guys know any recording of this show from previous years?

    I just thought it was an EV song; therefore, it wouldn't be under the song list for Pearl Jam. If it has been played in the past my first guess would be last year at the Kokua festival (sp?). I know he did a few uke songs and that may have been one of them, but I only recall No More being performed there.

    Um I believe the first time played was RAC show at the wiltern? No? When he played with Beck and Mike Ness.
    I was there! :)
    Nice to know you.

    "Stuff White People Like"
    #70 Difficult Breakups
    February 18, 2008 by clander

    Prior to engaging in divorce, most white people train for it by engaging in a series of long term relationships that end very poorly. At some point, you will likely encounter a white person who is in the middle of a difficult breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

    The suffering of heartbreak is universal, but it is important to be aware that white people thrive during these trying times. If you play your cards right, you can parlay these moments into future favors and valuable trust.

    The majority of white person art is created after a difficult breakup; films, indie music, and poetry are all kicked into high production during the end of a relationship. This helps train white people to prepare for the pain that is coming.

    Once breakup proceedings have been initiated, a white person is immediately thrust into the center of attention in their circle of friends. During this time, they are permitted to talk at great lengths about themselves, listen to The Smiths, and get free dinners from friends who think “they shouldn’t be alone right now.”

    It is imperative that you do not attempt to kick them out of their misery by saying things like “get over it,” “there are other people out there,” or “I don’t want to read your poem.”Implying that there things in the world more important to you than their breakup is considered one of the rudest actions possible.

    If you are lucky enough to speak a second language, the best thing you can do for a white person in this situation is to give them an expression in that language that relates to breaking up. This will make them feel better since they are comforted by the gesture and happy to be learning a new sentence that they can reuse to with their friends.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    Just in case anyone here cares ... Ed is playing this on guitar now, not uke ... and, to my ears, it sounds even better if you can believe it.

    That's an interesting detail. Maybe it'll make it onto the next CD?

    Who knows? But I'd vote for it. It sounded great on the solo tour ... obviously a tad different ... on account of a guitar sounds different than a Uke ... too many uke songs sound the same to my immature ears.
