  • well, got lyrics.

    how much better would binaural have been if Sad and Fatal had been on it?

    oh, well. better late than never.

  • would you please post these lyrics? I can't find them.
    all this hope and nowhere to go
    this is how I used to feel
    but no more

    SAD

    the colors turn to gray, the stain
    in his room with memories for days, he faced
    an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
    by the loss of one he could not replace
    and there's no reason that she'd pass
    and there is no god with the plan, it's sad
    and his holiness is proof, it's sad
    he could only love you, it's sad
    the door swings through a passing fable
    a fate we may delay, we say
    holding on, to live within our embrace
    he lit a match, he laid in bed
    hoping their dreams would bring her back, it's sad
    and his holiness is proof, it's sad
    he could only love you, it's sad
    holding his last breath, believing
    he'll make his way
    but she's not forgotten
    he's haunted
    he's searching for escape
    if just one wish could bring her back, it's sad
    and his holiness is proof, it's sad
    he will always love you, it's sad

    :)

  • i am in love with this song right now
    -one thing to remember, always have a good time, all the time
  • This has got to be one of the greatest Pearl Jam songs ever. I can't believe they didn't put it on Binaural. I've heard it 20 times now and I just can't get enough. What does it mean when he says "an undertow of futures laid to waste?" Anyone?

  • my take on it is that the song is about a man whose love has died, so he's faced with "what could have been" thoughts that are just eating him up inside.

    my new goal in life is to hear this song live one day.

    All the photographs were peeling
    and colors turned to gray
    He stayed... in his room with memories for days
    He faced... an undertow of futures laid to waste
    Embraced... by the loss of what he could not replace

    There is no reason that she passed
    And there is no god with a plan
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he could only love you
    It's sad

    The door swings to a passing fable
    A fate we may delay
    We say... holding on...delivered in our own brace
    He let em as he laid in bed
    hoping that dreams would bring her back
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he could only love you
    It's sad

    Holding his last breath
    Believing... he'll make his way
    But she's not forgotten
    He's haunted...he's searching for escape

    If just one wish could bring her back
    It's sad... and his lonliness is proof
    It's sad... he will always love you
    It's sad
    "...believe in lies...to get by...it's divine...whoa...oh, you know what its like..."

    GREAT FUCKIN LYRICS
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    great lyric...my favorite on LD...
  • this is definitely my favorite song on LD right now, i can't go a day without hearing it at least a few times. the way it starts with the guitar, the words are AMAZING. i would love to hear this song live, no doubt - it'd merit a sign campaign in my estimation.

    it's just beautiful, all the way around.

    heehee kate, seriously though, i am majorly in love with this song. some of ed's best writing, and just that riff, had that middle-eastern feel to it. luuuuvvvvv it :D
  • SAD...can be interpreted in different ways..Some could say it's about a break up..losing the girl...some can say it's about the death of a girl..I agree it is a captivating song with lyrics that are beautiful yet SAD..and the way Eddie sings it brings out emotions you wish you could define into the way you sing your soul onto paper..This is definately one of the greatest..and hopefully we will hear it live!! So we can see the raw emotion...

    Especially in the end when he sings, "If just one wish could bring her back..it's sad"



    WOW....


    Thank You guys!!

    i fucking love this song too

    this is the first rocking pj song that i have really really loved.

    it in my top 10 or so i'd say.

    i love the riff and the lyrics

    i am making my band cover this the next time we play.

    it won't be as good as the original by fucking miles but we'll give it a shot.

  • Found those Lyrics under a different title: "Letter to the Dead".

    Got them from this site: http://www.lyricsdir.com/p/pearl-jam/

    Site is good, by the way...bunch of PJ songs. (Beware the pop-ups, though!)

    Pearl Jam never ceases to amaze me. This song is so relevant to someone whom I love very much, the situation they are in right now. I don't really want to go in to details, but it applies perfectly to his life. Made me cry my eyes out the first time I heard it.
  • VEDHEAD27VEDHEAD27 Posts: 3,091
    God damn this song is seriously growing on me. Like I said before, I loved it as soon as I heard it...but (in true PJ fashion) it just keeps getting more and more intense. WOW! :o I didn't listen to it for a few days and all day yesterday and the day before it was STUCK in my head. It really has some serious power going on. I am just beyond impressed with this one. Yeah, like you said ecope "never ceases to amaze". I hear ya, but fuck...I just can't help but be amazed. haha. I should be use to all this by now but sometimes it just throws me for a loop.

    THIS SONG RULES!!!!!!

    :D

    oh wow, how cool!! i know what you mean, i can't get enough of this song - isn't it amazing how it *didn't* make it on the album!? makes you wonder what other gems are in hiding somewhere that we may never get to hear!

    that's all i think about. i love binaural, it's my favorite album. i think it is perfect, and i don't like to look back to what could have been... but it's been skipped over two albums... that gives me hope that other super special songs are somewhere stored away....
