    The song makes my wife very happy so if she's happy i'm happy even though it is just ok to me.  ;)
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Studio version isn’t bad and like the message. Not really looking to hear it live though.

    Yes!
    I like the studio version.  Not a fan of the live one

    So so
    It's a good song but I can take it or leave it. It's nice live but I don't hanker to hear it - nor would I be dissapointed to hear it.

    Intro / beginning reminds me of "Inside of You" from Sarah Marshall / Get Him to the Greek Infant Sorrow / Aldous Snow / Russell Brand
    Solo reminds me of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" - Poison

    ...just got a fresh bottle.

    I'm on the fence about November Rain, however.

    Worst song they've ever written.  And it's not even close.

    I hate November Rain and I can't believe it is the most viewed rock video of the 90's. Yuck!

    It's ok. I liked it at first, but I can easily pass on hearing it. I'll admit, it was my piss break song at my last show. Just can't get in to it live. One of the few, if not only PJ songs that does nothing for me live. How anyone can use Even Flow as their piss break floors me. Such a rocking song from start to finish.

    It's one of my favorites right now!  I can see people thinking it's too "schmaltzy," but I like the lyrics. Maybe it's because I'm old now.

    First post ever is to discuss Sirens?

    Wow!

    I can't stand Sirens. One of their worst songs ever IMHO. It's so confused. It sounds like a song from a band struggling to find an identity, and that is just plain weird and unsettling to hear from PJ.

    Love it!  I get that it's a bit sentimental, but I think Ed in particular really shines, one of his most powerful and fluid vocal performances in years - I remember thinking when I first heard it that it sounded like Ed had rolled back the years vocally.

    The solo may be the worst part of that song. 






    Ok the second worst part.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    80's power ballads were for the most part horrendous.  This does not remind me of that.  Now I have to go back and listen to see what I'm missing...

    I think that solo is pure cheez, although I don't think just one solo can make a terrible song good in any case ...... maybe if they'd thrown a 10 minute John Bonham solo into it I might feel better about the rest of the song. :lol:;)
