I thought it was cool to hear Eddies new rendition of I'm Open on this last tour but I'd really like to see him bust out the whole song, story included. I love the original its so unique and beautiful. I don't know to me what was done on the last tour shouldn't count. What do you think?

"A man lies in his bed, in a room with no door
He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter
After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank
As the ceiling at which he's staring
He's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
So, is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
No trade-backs...
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...

I'm open
I'm open
Come in
Come in
Come in
Come in

I'm open
I'm open
Come in
Come in
Come in
Come in

Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
He decides to dream...
Dream up a new self... for himself"

    I don't know how that would translate live but in studio, I think that's such a fantastic song. I got a soft spot for the spoken word songs (apart fro Bushleaguer, that's just shite).

    Of course it counts! Every song is somewhat different live. How about at the next PJ concert the band comes out and puts a CD on for us to listen to?

    I think it should count more than WMA counts. It says that has been played like 75 times or something.
    NERDS!

    That's because they count the WMA Daughter tags in that count. I wonder how many times it was actually played in it's entirety.

    I concur.

    The solo shows would be a great place for him to play it.

    It was nice to see the band acknowledge the song on the past couple of tours, but it would be nice to have it played in it's entirety.
