this one is just goosebump city.

hehe. It's so true.

*sigh* I've been having repeat sessions non-stop lately. I will never get over this beauty or even begin to understand how something this gorgeous can even exist! I am forever 'floored' by you PARACHUTES.

heart melted all over again.....i am SO grateful i got this song live

Oh damn! *drowning in my own melt<~~ wtf??:p haha.I know you understand. WOW though! WE WERE ALL THERE! ALL THE SAP SISTERS SAW IT TOGETHER!! How perfect is that!? Thank you so much for posting this B! I'm beyond grateful that you got to hear this song live too!!!!! There's really not anything that you can say in response to experiencing all this first hand. It leaves you in a blissful state of shock! Again-HOW IS THIS SONG EVEN POSSIBLE!?

Speaking of this one live, I have been majorly blessed beyond belief. My deep ass connection with this beauty seems to send out some pretty strong vibes to the boys.:p I realized the other day that there wasn't ONE US performance that I missed. :eek: WHAT IN THE!??! *collapses* That is waaaaaaaaay too much to deal with! :eek: And I actually lived to talk about it?? Unbelievable! Really though, each time it shined brighter and brighter and each time I 'fell' deeper and depper in love. We are ALL blessed by this masterpiece! What a gift!

(((ALL HAIL THE DREAM TEAM)))

Serious overtime.
Serious!

That's just beautiful lgt! Congrats!! What an experience huh?? Seriously not of this world. Everyone needs to experience this cloud 9 and then some magic first hand. They NEED to!

bryanfury, thought you were in crazy town!?! haha. I hear that.
Even though I personally cannot understand how anyone could possibly deny this beauty, I must say that I LOVE how it's cupid arrow is hitting more and more each day. Looks like a bunch of the crazy towners are now coming on over to sane loversville. WTF?? haha.

Awww B! It's so true... and I don't ever wanna wake up.
How much higher can we get? How much more drunk on beauty can one handle?? I'm kinda concerned. Will we survive the overload? We've made it this far but we really gotta bring our helmets girl cuze...

**Here's to PARACHUTES acoustic @ BRIDGE SCHOOL**

okay.

you just HAD to go there? you just couldn't stop yourself could you?

*shopping for a helmet* heehee

VEDHEAD27

hehe. I had to. I'm feeling the vibes hardcore. It's a lot to process. This is gonna happen so we best be prepared.

Oh wow, lgt! I just read how at the MILAN show Eddie dedicated the Tom Waits Picture In A Frame cover, in Italian, to the love of his life... the mother of his daughter. *heart hurts* I'm having a major SAP ATTACK over here. That is too beautiful for me to even deal with! And it gets even more overwhelming!! Immediately after all that sweetness is when they go right into PARACHUTES?!?! :eek: AHHHHH! *faints*

I skip over it every time. It grates at my nerves a little.

One Song Glory

Unlike most, I don't actually dislike any Pearl Jam song or album. I think they're all masterpieces, down to Bugs in its own oddball way (I actually think the accordian is kinda cool and it so suits the weirdness that makes Vitalogy), yet there's always one song on every album that takes some time for me to fully appreciate. This was my least favourite from the beginning, but after about a month or so, it quickly became one that I really enjoyed. The last few lines drive home every time, and now I feel as emotional over Parachutes as I once did when listening to Black (not that Black doesn't inspire emotion anymore). I never didn't like Parachutes, but it just took me a while to "get" it, and to get why everyone else was so touched by something that, at first, turned me off a little. In the end, I have to say bravo on another good one -- this is a rare treat that is largely underappreciated, as well as such a good morning coffee tune. I've made myself a morning CD since my roommate almost took my head off the last time I tried to play some rockers in the morning. She doesn't mind the mellow though, which makes this one an ideal "morning coffee song" as we've come to call them.

Yes, he did!!! Then my friend told me Jill was crying. It was really quite moving. I could understand the lyrics as I did not know the song, so I could appreciate it. Then, onto Parachutes!!!! Squeee!!!! I was estatic (sp?) I was surrounded by boys, who didn't quite show the same enthusiasm as me, and that's an understatement!!! I LOVED it!!!! I was SO HAPPY!!!!
And then, it was followed by the most amazing version of Black I have ever heard (and I have heard quite a few lately because I am on a "Black with We Belong Together tag kick!). The crowd participation was really out of this world. We would not let them stop it!! They gave us a huge applause!
That whole encore gave me goosebumps. Seriously.
Also, I got a spot in front of Stone, and it was great to see him having such a great time! Huge smiles, pointing at people, doing the duckwalk... I can appreciate even more now what you guys experienced in SF!! Too bad, I didn't have my Stone shirt in Milan and I felt kinda alone in my Stone loving among those dudes, some quite keen on moshing! (I should post this in the Stone thread really, ops!) But the whole band was on fire and having a hell of a time. Oh my god! It was *fantastic*!!!! I'll never forget it.
Sorry, I just keep going on about it!!! But seriously... SO SO AWESOME!!!

I can't believe I heard Parachutes!!! so happy!

ETA- re: the intro in Italian to the Tom Waits cover, I just remembered that Eddie also said that he met her 6 years ago in Milan.
Btw, I was very impressed with Eddie's Italian, to be honest. Sometimes, he would fumble, but most of the time it was spot on!

IndianaPearl

yeah...I so much love that song, I was sooooo glad to hear it live in Paris, such a beautiful song!!! The melody is just gorgeous, I close my eyes every time I hear it and I'm completely gone...haha, Bercy was empty to me at that moment!
Oh and Ed dedicated the song to his "beautiful family" if I remember correctly...(sigh) what a beautiful song!!! haha

Coming back to life

I wouldn't put anything on repeat, apart from maybe We are the Champions if we win the league again...

Who here has seen Hoodwinked? This song, Parachutes, came right to mind at the part when Red Riding Hood opens her hood as a parachute and they start playing a Beatles--esque song to it?----you know, in the same way that Parachutes has that Beatles sound to it. Did anyone else think this? Do you think this is some kind of PJ reference or that there was a PJ fan on staff in the making of the movie's soundtrack?

chiquimonkey

never saw hoodwinked, but yeah it totally has that beatles vibe.

it's a song they need to play live more, it's a gem

Claudia

beautiful song! it's growing n me
