"Sirens" Single + Video

I was hoping yesterday was a bad dream and I really never heard this song. I wish this was April and this was the guys April fools joke. I'm sad...really sad...cause I've come to the realization that this song is SCARY bad. I force fed it to my ears, 25 or so times over the past 24hours trying to find a glimmer of hope but it just has gotten worse.
Sure PJ has had some sorta, tiny bit, wee tad bad, but never ever SCARY bad. (Ole)
So is this how it all ends? I'm gonna tear up, I'm really saddened.This song has me really concerned and scared!
On a lighter note....If they unfortunately do play this song live and you are on your way to do #1 during this song, you may suddenly find yourself needing to go #2 as well. However don't fret, this sucker is long enough to do both and re-fill a beer.
I pray to the PJ gods that I never get to see this live....please, please, please.
I will take Last Kiss twice in a row or Ole then Last Kiss then Ole again.Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me0 -
Ole > Being kicked in the balls > Sirens0

I actually also had a daydream about it being and April Fool's joke in September, and I don't even hate it. It's just so weird.That's funny you thought that also.

Did you see her "in the arms of another man?"Man I can't believe those are the words.

I think this song is awesome. I like the simplicity of the music and the lyrical tone. I understand that some people hear it as a "power ballad" (we're really resurrecting that term?) but it's still Pearl Jam. These aren't the same guys who wrote "Black" or "Rearviewmirror". A lot of the anger and heartbreak in that music doesn't exist in the lives of the band members anymore. To each his own, but I think its a gorgeous piece of music that i'll be listening to for a long time to come.04/03/03 OKC 09/04/2009 Austin 05/17/2010 Boston 05/17/2010 Newark 05/20/2010 NYC

first listen: :? did I accidentally push the bon jovi download button? have I found a delorean and somehow landed in 1987?
it's slowly growing on me though. I really like ed's singing on this one, and the part before it goes into the solo is pretty awesome as well. I can see this being a great live track.
but the scene in the video where they are all lined-up like a boyband and sing the aaahh ooohhh thing makes me LOL every time.0 -

What's wrong with that lyric exactly?? In the context of the other lyrics and the song, it works fine!London 29-10-96, London 29/30-5-00, London 20-4-06, Reading 27-8-06, London 18-6-07, London 11-8-09, London 18-8-09, London 25-6-10, Berlin 30-6-10 / PJ20 3/4-9-11, Manchester 20-6-12, Amsterdam 26/27-6-12, EV-London 30/31-7-12, EV-Orlando 27-11-120 -
I think the line 'send you into the arms of another man' was based upon Ed's death. That's why he is waiting when she stays around(lives). The whole song is coming to grips with his own inevitable death and what he now has to lose as compared to when he was younger and hardly gave a shit.0
