yes the above triggered this. I was coming off a 620 mile 12 1/2 hr night and was tired.
there is a point there, however hamfisted it was made.
it does seem though , you have to know someone in the band . I do not. sure there are songs never played live or very very rately, and this while only 7 years old was reported in response to cornell so would make it deeply personally to the songwriter.
On the other hand this feels like I am trading in on his death. and I have a lot of guilt around some things I left out of the initial sob story already.
we'll see how I feel in a day or two. I did copy the post before deleting.
will note, it seemed to have been noticed both before and after by seattle.
anyway, thanks for the support and for reading THIS part of the sob story......
The song holds meaning to you, and I'm sure to many others out there including myself. I play it at every open mic I attend for that reason alone, as well as hoping it will touch many others with its beautiful lyrics. I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a simple request for it to be played live, regardless of the circumstances behind the songs meaning to Ed. If it happens, it happens. If not, then that's alright too.
And like @curmudgeoness said, if there's an ever so slight chance the song is performed it would be that night. Congrats on 19 years sober, and here's to many more years to come!
