all hail...hail, hail!!!

decides2dream · March 2005

well i did a search and it came up empty...where's all the love for the brilliance that is hail, hail??? my gawd i have always loved this song. quite a rocker yet filled with such amazing words and emotions...........

Is there room enough for both of us?
Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation?
Is that all we've got?
Get the words, and then I get to thinkin'
I don't wanna think, I wanna feel
How do I feel?
How do I?...

If you're the only one, will I never be enough?
Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love

Swore I'd love you till the day I die, ah and beyond...
Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come?
It's egg rolling thick and heavy
All the past you carry
Oh, I could be new... you underestimate me

If you're the only one, will I never be enough?
Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love

Sometimes realize, I could only be as good as you'll let me
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand

I find it on the run in a race that can't be won
All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
If you're my only one, so could you only one?
I want to be your one, enough...
Your one...your one...your one...

*sighs*

I never really got into it until i heard it on Live on two legs, and then i saw it on Letterman, and then i listened to the words, and when all those 3 things combined i was blown away. I love this song, the lyrics are great- so simple, so meaningful and so honest.

it absolutely does. :cool: sometimes it is scary to hear/read lyrics and so identify........most of pearl jam does that for me. certain songs - yikes - it is all too familiar *inside*.............

Droevig · June 2005

NO, NO, NO...

It's all the past WE carry. I don't understand how theskyIscrape can have this fundamental so wrong. Check the polaroids... It's WE.

Makes much more sense, really

. At least for my interpretation of the song

Love song of married people about my age

It's egg rolling thick and heavy, all the past WE carry, but I could be new... don't underestimate me

There is another lyric that everyone gets wrong, including silly Eddie Vedder...

In Breath... it's not "If I knew where it was", but "If I knew where I was, I would take you there... there's so much more (of me

) than this... so much more than this..."

Oh well... they'll all get it eventually

decides2dream · June 2005

already fixed m'dear....mea culpa meme.

just a quick *bump* for a song dear to my heart, and heavily in my mind's sountrack lately......

Dreams of Red · June 2005

this is definately a hidden diamond among the ruby that is No Code... sooooo over-shadowed by the greatness that is that album..

really nice to see the tune dodged into a highlight through this thread..to speak in photo-weiny terms or whatever..

haha.
funny...i just refenced this album elsewhere as a *brilliant gem*...think we are on the same wavelength, my fellow dreamer.

btw - quite right.....a true diamond!!!

hail, hail!!!
:cool:

chiquimonkey · August 2005

i freaking LOSE it when i hear this song live....ohmeGOD. it's consistently in my top 5 of fave PJ songs ever (the list fluctuates on mood, but this is one that has a spot carved in stone). when i saw it at santa barbara with the mighty jack irons on drums, i fucking flipped OUT lol

velvet I site · August 2005

this song makes me want to get married..

HAIL, HAIL

there aren't too many more motivations for me and legal marriage, but i'm not sure a guy really needs more than this.. assuming he has found the other HAIL.

Just looking through the archives and decided I wanted to try and resurrect this one. Hail, Hail is the first song that really caught my attention from No Code. It appealed to the rocker in me as well as the analytical side of myself. I literally spent a few days analyzing the lyrics when I first bought No Code and it made me realize what I want in my relationship with my girlfriend. It also speaks to me because I consider my girlfriend and I (and others who are truly in love) to be lucky ones. Oh yeah, and this song rocks hardcore live.

awesome ressurrection!!!

really excellent points, and i agree.......probably why it is such a fave of mine. the lyrics are unreal, and the music totally rocks you out.

hail, hail!!!

Thanks! I try my best. Keep it alive!

BoBliness · August 2005

i think its:
"its egg roll and thick and heavy"

not
"its egg rolling thick and heavy"

just a pedantic note

BoBliness · August 2005

Pretty sure its also:

"like-minded on the run"

not

"i find it on the run"

although both work fairly well
