I don't like Sirens at all. It is my least favorite song on the album.
^^^^This!

Not hearing it at Wrigley was one of the best parts of the weekend. First time in almost three years that I didn't have to hear it for two whole shows in a row. Made me soooooo happy.
One of the best parts of your weekend was not listening to a song. Must have been a fun weekend you had there.

I had an amazing weekend and yes one of the best parts was not having to be tortured with that drivel for either show. I didn't say it was the best part or even the top 10, it just made the list.

I'll never get the hate for this song. Is it because everyone's expecting every song to sound like Deep and Leash?

Beautiful song.
No, it's just because it's a cheesy-ass sounding song that hearkens back to 90s power ballads but without the energy, and also it doesn't sound good. I personally think it's a rather confused sounding song. The lyrics are okay though. Not phenomenal or super creative or anything, not even close, but they are relatable for most people, which is fine.
Why relatable for most people? The thought of losing someone close to you doesn't resonate with all people?
Not sure what you're asking. Are you wondering why I said "most" and not "all"? I know there are people who have never lost someone and who don't think about such things, so yeah, most people, not all.

Relatable like yeah I know what that's like, vs. I could imagine what that's like and the song therefore resonates.

Ya I was just messing with you and I know how you feel with a certain song being played. Wrigley 2 rocked, especially the first set, but Last Kiss really killed it for me. I tried to get back into but it was tough and the crowd felt it too imo. Crazy Mary fixed that though.

I would rather hear Sirens any show over Small Town.
That's just wrong, so many kinds of wrong.

How is it wrong when I said I would rather hear Sirens than Small Town.
It's what I would want to hear, not you pal.
So no it's not wrong.

I just mean that most people can relate to the lyrics. On what level is up to the individual.

I really didn't mind Sirens when it first came out but now I can't stand it. I wouldn't say I hate but its pretty damn close to hate. It is a skip every time it comes on.

Don't mind them. They can't stand different opinions.

I think I tried really hard to like it when I first heard it, almost to the point of attempting to delude myself.

Then I got over that and admitted my true feelings.

Ya I was just messing with you and I know how you feel with a certain song being played. Wrigley 2 rocked, especially the first set, but Last Kiss really killed it for me. I tried to get back into but it was tough and the crowd felt it too imo. Crazy Mary fixed that though.

So …

Got some, comatose, even flow, don't gimme no lip, sonic reducer, blood

didn't get you back into it?

But crazy mary after an encore break did? Not saying that's wrong, just interesting to me

PJNB · September 2016

I am always rocking at a concert and enjoyed those songs a lot but I just felt the momentum was no wheres near as high during those songs as it should have been and no wheres near as high as it was in the first set and I think that Last Kiss played a huge part in that. Crazy Mary with the amazing Boom solo did pull me back into the same groove I was feeling in the first set.

ikiT · September 2016

Just my opinion, the song suffers from a profoundly weak beginning. once it gets rolling it's ok.

I can relate to Sirens , (most everything Ed does lyrically I'm on board with) but it's not a place I want to spend a great deal of time...sort of like The End.

For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To send you in the arms of some fucking nothingman
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

bloodwhore · September 2016

Ok I gotcha now. I guess there is always that ebb and flow in pj sets. Especially the last 3-4 years.

Huh. That comma between choice and mistake is interesting. I always actually thought he meant "choice mistake", like a primo mistake as opposed to just a regular one.

EnterThanman · September 2016

I like the song, but its definitely teetering on the edge of what I can take from PJ. I will admit its not unlike a song that a bunch of bad bands might write, but Eds lyrical abilities save it from what it would be in the hands of a cornier writer.

ikiT · September 2016

lyrics websites....pfffft. #PRIMO

you can put commas anywhere with ED. He's surfing.

ahhhhhh hahhhhhhhh ohh ohh
