Come Back

as fine a tribute as ever there was to the times when the soulful ballad is a chance to make romance in the arms of your woman while dancing, real, real slow.

pearl jam shows that they can play with the memphis musicians.

thank you Otis Redding and thank you Ed, Boom, Mike, Stone, Jeff and Matt for this record.
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Definately a great song. Though I know alot of people don't really care for it.
    I love Otis Redding. Amazing. They just don't do it like that anymore.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away
  • When he says "please say that if you hadn't gone now, I woudn't have lost you in any other way", how powerful is that? If they play that in London, I WILL CRY!..Why does she go away though? I would never leave Ed!
    "Come on people now, smile on your brother and everybody get together, try to love one another right now!!!!"
    "You my friend, I will defend and if we change, well I love you anyway"
    "I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine, I AM MINE"

    Because she (or he) died. It's a death song.

    In fact, I think it is the sad conclusion to Army Reserve, to be honest. There's a reason those two songs are back-to-back on Avocado.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do
