my finger tips, they close your eyes.

in all honesty, i've never been able to hear around the bend as a lullaby. feeling nostalgic, i recalled recently my first time hearing this song.... on the radio, pre-release, radio promotional weekend...where they teased with songs from the upcoming No Code, scattered amidst summer hit rubbish... mp3 not yet part of my vocabulary, my fingertips hovered vigilantly, anxiously (pathetically?) near the record button... god forbid, i miss one of the (lucky) 13, have to wait another 5 or 7 or 10 days to hear it.... i had them all, except one... it took 'til sunday night to get. as usual, they delivered another flawless ending... perfectly, quietly.... as was my custom then, i took another immediate listen for the words... (the words had always been my obsession).... rewind. stop. play. write. rewind. stop. play. write....jotting down every clear audible... every muffled mystery... piece together the new tale ed ved had woven.... looking back at the finished product of my pseudo channeling, i nodded and chuckled... he'd done it again. how perfectly, quietly... no ordinary lullabye:
serial killer. his last moments with his victim.... what would he be thinking?... boy next door, never got the girl...kills because he loves.... it could fit so neatly on the back cover of a james patterson jacket.
i'm wishing you a-well
mind at peace within your cell
covers up, i cast you off
i'll be watching as you breathe
i lie still, you move
i send you off around the bend
i hold your head deep in my arms
my fingertips they close your eyes
off you dream, my little child
there's a sun around the bend (yes)
there's a sun around the bend
all the evenings close like this
all these moments that i've missed
please forgive me, won't you, dear?
please forgive and let me share...
with you around the bend
you're an angel when you sleep
how i want your soul to keep
on and on around the bend
didnt it ever give you the heebie jeebies? "my finger tips, they close your eyes"... is it the norm for one to watch their loved one fall asleep with their eyes wide open, that one would have to assist the sleeping in shutting their eyes...."i lie still, you move, i send you off around the bend"?...."how i want your soul to keep on around the bend"?.... the sweetness of the music always added to the creepiness of this very suspicious underlying tone.... maybe i'm just creepy. please forgive me, won't you dear?
as the album came out and more and more chatter started up on message boards, i looked to see if anyone else saw it as i did.... weeks, months, years... and i never saw another view like my own. if memory serves, vedder once mentioned (bridge school perhaps) around the bend was somehow inspired by jack irons' young son.... but the way he said it, always sounded like he knew something everyone else didn't.... like a little boy who has placed a whoopie cushion in his uncle's chair..."sit in THIS seat uncle bob"... all smiles and slyness....when the communities i enjoyed eaves dropping in started to disband and disintegrate, i lost interest in keeping up to date, lost energy in finding new places to watch... but today i feel compelled to post here, in this rather quiet subcategory of a very noisy "message pit".... to see if anyone sees things differently. or maybe just to ramble. spin theories. this sort of diatribe tends to be ignored anyway.
love, pieds....
