I have this problem w/ Come Back where I can't seem to make it all the way through the song w/out getting choked up. I don't think it's going away so I may need professional help. As for Inside Job...I just wasn't diggin it until I saw them play it live tonight in Hartford. It's incredible live and the album version doesn't give the tune the justice it deserves IMO.
When i first heard comeback, I wanted to raise a lighter right then and there. It's got the same cry or deep emotion as Black but different. I would like to hear this live right before YLB.
Anyone else think the particular words Eddie uses in come back seems to sound like hes referring to a love one who died more so then someone who just left. In a war perhaps?
I've been listening to these two tracks for a couple of days now because they seem to either give me hope or at least asuage my pain a little. I think the lyrics are about calling out for higher meaning/guidance, but also knowing that all the power we need comes from within ourselves. It was brilliant to end the album with them back-to-back. I'm glad to see that both of these slow, brooding tunes have been included in set lists lately. Can't wait for the L.A. shows.
both songs are great but there is something about Come Back that stands out....it hits a emotional nerve and everytime i hear it my mind does a flash back of all the people ive lost both in life and relationships (well ones that meant something to me)
"well if i dont fall apart, will my memories remain clear" ---brilliant part of the song!!!

even if you can't "change" the "world" (your own personal world, the world you are in, the world in general,etc)
u STILL CAN really bring CHANGE... change of HEART, change of perspective.
"life comes from within YOUR heart and DESIRE"
it's a Positive INTROspection on one's soul.
how i CHOOSE to FEEL,
is HOW i am.
your FOCUS, determines YOUR "reality"
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
I love both songs, but "Come Back" is so sad! I cry every time I listen to this one. It just seems like a song full of longing. I seriously cannot listen to this song in public.
How dark a woe! yet how sublime a hope!
How silently serene a sea of pride!
How daring an ambition! yet how deep--
How fathomless a capacity for love!

yeah i was listening to this song on my mp3 player while jogging and yeah not such a good idea
I thought come back was about a lover who died, also. After Eddie's intro last night it could still be, but anyone think it's just about a break up?

I dont know..it seems to me more like someone has died.
He said last night that its about someone who's gone
and now its about 2 months later...I took it that it was about
a person had passed away, something I know way too
much about recently, and this song really hit me. Esp
when he added that "2 months later..." ugh...killed me.
hi my name's noemi, it's my first time here, i write from italy so sorry if you can't understand what i say... but i have to explain one thing about the song "come back".
I have read an interviewabout eddie and one question was about come back... eddie said that he wrote this song for his friend (the guitarist of Ramones, Johnny Ramone) who died in 2004....
for me and for what appened to my family last month, this songs means a lot... i wanna thank the band for their songs.... they are "superlativi"!!!!!!!!!!

I think you got it right. I read an interview where Mike said he wrote the song thinking about his experience with Crohn's (something that can't really be changed, just has to be dealt with).
They are both incredible. The first time I heard Comeback I loved it. I didn't even realize the depth of Inside Job until I read the lyrics...then I was hooked on that one too
"Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow."
Surely I'm not the only one that thinks the lyrics to 'Inside Job' are cheesy?

Love it, the first time I really heard it I was at work and all of a sudden I stopped and sat in stunned reflection....I love it, it has a Blues feel to it..it works well and i am looking forward to having it in my ipod arsenal.

Been very emotional lately...so each time I hear "Inside Job" and "Come Back", I cry. Absolutely love these two, although right now "Army Reserve" is my favorite. The whole damn album is amazing...cannot stop listening to it!
hopefuly Come Back replaces Last Kiss on setlists.
It has that 50's feel ...
I can't stop listening to "Pearl Jam" in general.
It is superlative, beautiful, and filled to the top with love!
so do I... my friend so do I... not only is it NOT a cover, it's a way better song. We get to actually feel and understand how Eddie is feeling.
With "Last Kiss" he puts a lot of passion in to it and breathes it a new life, his version is much better than the original.
"The money flew down and stole my cracker!"
"Every time I go to the doctors I get a jacket, a straight one. It makes me feel special because I get to hug myself."
I am myself like you somehow.
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me.
How I've opened up. Release me.
underneath this smile lies everything;all my hopes and anger,pride and shame...
can anything more be said about the character of an introverted person??!!i don' think so...i listen this song at least 10 times a day...
really admirable...
Oh Good I'm not alone... It's the 1st song I will listen to...Thank You 'Cready for writing this song...I'm totally in love with it!
If this song was a person, I'd make love to it!
I know that's crazy of me to say, yet look at my signature... it explains it all.
Wow this is the 1st song I've ever felt so passionate about!!!!!!
