    Yeah, I think you're right on with that. Good call.

    I'm kind of nitpicking but oh well. Figuring out Eddie's lyrics is always a challenge before they are published. But being a guy that really gets into the lyrics, it is so much fun. I think I've been working on figuring out Yellow Ledbetter for 20 years now. :lol:

    Alright, I should probably stop posting for the night because the wine is flowing.....

    OMG I've still not figured out all of YL!

    There's just one word I still believe...and it's LOVE.

    Not even Eddie!
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    I agree with previous posts that it's grace, not graves.

    And it might be "held you high above true" instead of "held you high above too".

    could it be "truth" instead or true or too? does that collocate?

    The last 'grace' you have listed sounds awfully like 'grave.'

    4:31 mark

    I wonder if it's Grace the first time and graves the second time? :think:

    I actually thought this for a moment yesterday too! And that's not a bad thing in my book. :D
    Personally, I'm a big fan of both these songs!

    "I pull you close, so much to lose
    Knowing that nothing lasts forever
    I didn't care, before you were here"

    One of my favorite lines in years. Simple, yet amazing.

    Looking forward to Sirens replacing Love Reign Oer Me on any given night.

    I have been listening to this part over and over and over, and I keep coming back to "true"

    and is there any chance that it is "i/ive stared at your face, and the fear goes away?"

    and I also here....."for to send you in the arms of another man"??

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    One of my favorite lines in years. Simple, yet amazing.

    The next line, which builds on that idea, might be my favorite: "I danced in laughter with the ever after."

    Strictly in terms of the poetry of it, that might be a top 5 Ed Vedder one-liner.

    I think it is "Have to take your hand..." rather than "I could take your hand"...

    I gave this a shot tonight and had a few thoughts on minor changes. Would appreciate some feedback.
    Thanks

    Hear the sirens…
    Hear the sirens…
    Hear the sirens… Hear the circus so profound
    I hear the sirens… more and more in this here town

    Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bed
    Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
    This life has been a light, and I can see clear

    Have to take your hand, and feel your breath or fear
    It’ll be someday we’ll be ove    r
    I pull you close, so much to lose
    Knowing that nothing lasts forever
    I didn't care, before you were here
    I danced in laughter with the ever after
    But, all things change, let this remain

    Hear the sirens… covering distance in the night
    The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me next time

    Every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
    To send you in the arms of another man
    And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand

    It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over-
    Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
    I study your face, and the fear goes away

    It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over-
    Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
    I study your face, and the fear goes away
    The fear goes away
    The fear goes away
    The fear goes away
