I don't get the comparison between racist Will Clark and Sirens.
And hey, did you know that all chaps are assless?
I have to ask, how does someone become racist at a 5th graders party? Was it a Halloween party?
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
Oh whatever, ya damn know-it-all.
Does that make pants assful?
say it ain't so, Joe :(
just
All ...Racist Will Clark and Sirens comparison is just feeling let down man ... just feel let down by folks I admire..
you know ....
like when I found out that is depends on your definition of "is" from Bill until Bill said really I'm a horny mo of and did the whoopee with Monica Lewinsky .... really Monica Lewinsky..for real tho? Bill

the song did get to me though and i've changed my stance. it may or may not creep up on you one day, but don't be disappointed that the band wrote it. yea, its a bit cheez whiz, but wait for the record, put it in context, then draw a conclusion.
... how can you NOT like Sirens?
I can't understand this "cheese" argument.
Pondering on how our mortality will put an end to EVERYTHING we care about and love: is that cheesy?
Well, I'm the cheesiest one of all then.
My guess is a lot of people think cheese every time the word "love" shows up in a song.
I understand that the music can be off putting for someone. A ballad like this coming fro PJ and all.
But the message... the message is so powerful. Doesn't that account for anything?
:?
Please don't take this the wrong way. It's just that this song speaks so much to me... the hate it gets just baffles me.
Different strokes I guess....
...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
you not understanding how people cannot like the song is heads, people not understanding how someone CAN like the song is tails. same coin, my friend.
Yep. And while not quite the same, but in the same "testosterone-scaring motif" you also have Wishlist, Come Back, Nothingman, Off He Goes, Soon Forget, Just Breathe, The End, etc,.
Put another way, they've been doing "ballady" songs from the beginning. This one has a different direction undoubtedly, but whether or not that type of music is your thing, I am just surprised that the song is not being given credit as a well put together quality piece. I mean it isn't my personal favorite either, but I do think it is well written and composed. When my fav band starts writing complete junk without thought or effort, that's when I'll be embarrased.
Lyrically, this song contains one of the deepest premises of Ed's writing career. Love is the thing that makes you feel safe in a world full of sirens, yet at the same time, having something to love and the fear of losing it is what makes those sirens feel so dangerous in the first place.
It's a great paradox of the human condition.
I don't know this for a fact, but I assume Nickelback is not approaching this level of lyrical depth.
for the least they could possibly do

How do you go from Racism to Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky to Sirens???
:fp:
To me, Siren's certainly doesn't fit that category...
If I was to pick anything this band has done in the last little while that I would all "embrassing" it would be playing at an Oracle convention in California last year (it was last year right?)... seems quite the exact opposite to the premises the band started on and fought hard against in early days...
However, lately, that event, much like Sirens, shows me how far this band has reshaped and changed along their musical journey... it's a display of their evolution, and through listening to their music I think it's given me insight as to how all of them have changed and evolved over the last 20+ years as humans...
And I can see a similar evolution in myself... so it's all just so fucking relate-able....
it's so hard to put into words, but to me sirens is perfect. It's not my favorite song, nor is it my least favorite, but play it next to Alive and it shows the evolution of this band perfectly.... and I feel some parallels to my own evolution as a person..
wow that sounds so corny reading it back... but I'm gonna post it anyway...
This ....
One of the worst threads I have seen in a while
I happen to have loved everything (except for MYM) so far.
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
