a while back there was a debate about the holiness vs lonliness

i have to say that i was in the lonliness camp on that one.
ez street version is definitely holiness.

there are a few really great lyric changes in that version.
but the holiness is there and ed also changes it from vs to vs
to
and his holiness is cool


then later
and his holiness the fool (or is fooled)


and then the final one I think is
and his holiness is cruel


i absolutely love this song and cannot wait to hear what they do iwth it all tour long. bring on the bootlegs.

    My husband died suddenly from a massive heart attack. I can't stop thinking about the lyrics to this song. We would have been out celebrating our anniversary -- having a good meal and sharing a toast with a fine wine.

    This is one of those songs that I have made my own. It just expresses how I feel -- change the 'he's' and 'she's'. It takes on a meaning that fits how I feel. I love this song - no matter if I'm feeling melancholy or not. It's what Pearl Jam's music is all about.
    Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.

    Wow, I'm really sorry Capricorn Sister. I saw the first post and was excited to post, then read yours and it bummed me out...

    I remember the debate between Holiness and Lonliness, and i had always thought it was lonliest til i read that. I listened REAL close a few times and now i'm really not so sure it's not 'holiness'.

    I was lucky enough to hear them play this Grand Rapids on the VFC tour; it is my most played GR track on my iPod by far. Probably the most unexpected and pleasantely surprised song i've heard them play in my 8 concerts. I'm not going to any of the Canada shows but i hope to hell they play that for some of them and hook us up on the future tour.

    A lot of my favorite songs always have some type of memory with them. I will listen to them and just remeber when I had the song such in my head for a long time. And this is one of them, it reminds me of one day when i was really depressed about something and i was playing feild hockey in the rain. Then I fell flat in the mudd on my way over to the goal, looking back it was some what funny but at the time, well, i was just sad. kinda a random story, but hey.
