Having recently found God and Jesus as my savior, this song means alot to me. I mean, at first hear, I felt almost confused. The music was beautiful, the words were beautiful, but it was like I just wasn't quite sure what he was talking about. I think Ed's found God. I think he has found love for a higher power, and I believe this because it's how I feel in regards to finding a love that powerful. It's definitely NOT about any woman.

Maybe he's found the love that only a child can bring to your heart....

"and war...break the sky and tell me waht its for." i feel like i can just jump and soar right through the sky at that part. its so powerful i cant really handle it

Yeah that line is definately my favorite too. I want to reach up and "scrap the sky" for some reason hehe. Anyone notice all the heights and falling references in this album?

You're not alone... I've noticed these references too. The key is to have someone there to pick you up after you've fallen.

Honestly, I'm really hoping to hear this song when they play in Cincy on June 24th!! I think it would be nice to play in a 2nd Encore, right as the show is coming to a close, play Parachutes, Come Back, then close with Yellow Ledbetter!!!

this song is soooo beautiful!

i'm so heartened that mike said this song still needs to get played....here's hoping it shows up soon in a setlist (and that it'll be played at any show i'm at too!)

side note: went to a friend's wedding this weekend, and this was on the playlist for her reception good stuff!

VEDHEAD27

Awww B, I was actually just coming to BUMP this up as well. Excellent call. The SAP sister connection I guess huh? How sweet about your friends wedding and how completely perfect too. Ahh, like we said before, this song just captures love. This song = love.

<~~ just started the heavenly repeat session

*knocked to my knees*



It continues to floor me with it's overwhelmingly gorgeous ways. How in the? It's seriously unbelieveable how out of control beautiful this song is!

I love reading all the recent posts in this thread too. There's just so much beauty all around this song.

he still stands, I especially liked your "The key is to have someone there to pick you up after you've fallen." comment. AWWWW! YES!! Your very own PARACHUTE.

If they play this song in BOSTONE and/or CAMDEN I will go into orgasmic shock (to say the very least)!!!!

chiquimonkey

heehee great minds and all!

i also am enjoying reading peoples' take on this song, and agree that the "The key is to have someone there to pick you up after you've fallen" comment is quite true. to an extent, i think this song touches on how someone can catch you before you even fall, love intercepts.

are you going to boston/camden? if so, i do hope they play it for ya!! if i hear about someone exploding, i'll know it's you haha

the song is my favorite. i've not even been fair to the rest of the album because of it. i love it. i get to it and then hit repeat over and over and over and over and over again.

i love the music and the words remind me of my relationship with my husband. to quote VEDHEAD27 "Ahh, like we said before, this song just captures love. This song = love . . . AWWWW! YES!! Your very own PARACHUTE"

i just love it.

Definitely one of my faves off the new album. I keep thinking strawberry fields. Anyone else?
A lot of references in this album to faith, god soul. Mid-life pathfinding maybe?
NOT KNOCKIN JUST WONDERIN?

i GOT THAT VIBE ABOUT THIS SONG. i FELT LIKE I TOO HAD FOUND A HIGHER LOVE AND HIGHER INFINITE PRESENCE IN MY LIFE AFTER THE BIRTH OF MY DAUGHTER. CHILDREN ARE MAGICAL AND THE ABSOLUTE TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

darthvedder88

Each day I hear this song, the more I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I absolutely love the line

"And love, wish the world could blow again with love, one can't seem to have enough..."

Really just takes my breath away!!!

Bubba Ho Riley

Yes, this is one of my favs on this disc. But I think it has more of a Pink Floyd influence. Don't think so?

If any of you have Obscured By Clouds, check out "Wot's.....Uh The Deal?"

mookie blaylock 10

one of the best songs on the record, and still yet to be played on this tour! i am very jealous of the crowd that gets to hear it for the first time

chiquimonkey

bubba i haven't any pink floyd so i don't know about an influence, the beatles one i hear loud and clear, but that's interesting that there is a PF one too lurking about!

i know i'm just gonna bring a beach blanket to the shows, forget tissues, especially if there is a chance of them playing this *and* 'come back'? eek haha

VEDHEAD27

LOL!!!! Beach blankets?? hahahha. Seriously though. It's so true. OMG between this & Come Back I will be a MESS! Not to mention all the tears of extreme joy. I dont think I've ever been so damn emotional about a PJ album/tour. I just cannot stop crying this time around. haha. Daamn PJ!

Aww, and thanks so much for the good vibes about getting his beauty. I really do feel it and the thought alone is too much to deal with.

So help us ALL is right!! :eek:

we gotta market some kleenex with PJ logos all over 'em at the shows, we'd make a mint!

between the gems on the new album, how the boys have been playing, and the amazing setlists, i think it's safe to say that yup, we're SO fucked (in a good way haha)
