i just came to realize yesterday what an amazing song Parachutes is. Great lines, great melody, and just a great feel to it all. Love it!

I know where your coming from. It took me a long while to even get myself to listen to the song at all. But one day it all just sounded different and I found myself playing it on repeat.
It is always great when you hear an old song and pretty much rediscover it. It is like finding buried treasure!
I had always said that Eddie could record the sounds of himself taking a steaming dump and it could end up on an album and most PJ fans would enjoy it. Then I heard "Parachutes," and I thought "see, I was right!" However, once I actually heard the song played live, I developed a new affinity for it, and I actually love the song now.
You've God me filling(?) emotions...
Inside Job - "Let me run into the rain, to be a human light again." "Don't ya think you should run into the Son?"
"Life comes from within your heart & desire." (or)
"Life comes from within your "hold hands" desire." (or)
"Life comes from within your desire to hold hands. (or,simply,)
"Life comes from within your desire to hold hands with your girlfriend, or give her a "high five", ect.
for the least they could possibly do
My best friend would agree with you. He loved that song from the beginning, and his exact words were "They had me at infinitum." Now I hear that sentence in my head everytime I listen to the song.
The way the song flows, to me...it's Beatle like.
Lyrics are so gentle..almost fragile..I always get the feeling they're going to brake apart..as a heart sometimes do.

I'm listening to Vienna 06 right now, and even though it still reminds me of a carnival and pink cotton candy, I can't deny that it would be a good date in a pizza parlour song, too.

I love the lyrics!!! the music sounds like parachutes.. if that makes any sense
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Definitely, mid-sixties Lennon.
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead...overhead...”
"And love,... Wish the world could go again with love
One cant seem to have enough
And war,.... Break the sky and tell me what it's for
I'll travel there on my own
And love,.... What a different life
Had I not found this love with you"
the lyrics are amazing
i especially like these lyrics:
And I don't want to know your past
But together share the dawn
And I won't need
Nothing else
Cause when we're dead
We would've had it all
Instead of people throwing rice or confetti at your ceremony, they could throw those little plastic parachute figures up in the air!
Just a thought, I never said it was a good idea
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Werd - It's nice to see this song finally getting it's due props
Also try comeback, I have been really into that song lately. It was actually on the show october road a while ago, and really fit the scene. I think that is only the 2nd time a pj song has been in a show, other than yellow ledbetter in friends.
