for those of you who are going back to school and are kinda bummed, I recommend Around the Bend.
When I was of school age and September would roll around, I'd put in ATB to make myself feel better.....summer is the sun thats around the bend.
Jam out with your clam out.

    Before I even clicked on this thread I was thinking it should be Around the Bend. It has a haunting, autumnal quality to it and makes you wonder about what the future might hold.

    All of these years and I had the first line wrong . . . ai yai yai. I thought it was I am wishing you well. The first stanza doesn't seem very lullaby-ish, does it. I cast you off? You cast off a boat to explore? So, maybe casting off to explore the dream world? My brother once referenced his daughter's crib as her cell. It does look like a cell with those bars, eh, but what do you do with a well?

    I am wishing you a well
    Mind at peace within your cell
    Covers up, I cast you off
    I'll be watching as you breathe
    I lie still, you move, I send
    You,... off around the bend

    I hold your head deep in my arms
    My fingertips they close your eyes
    Off you dream, my little child
    There's a sun around the bend
    There's a sun around the bend

    All the evenings close like this
    All these moments that I've missed
    Please forgive me, won't you, dear?
    Please forgive and let me share...
    With... you... around the bend

    You're an angel when you sleep
    How I want your soul to keep
    On and on around the bend

    I cast you off is saying to me that the father is letting go of his child into the solitude of slumber where the child can be at peace and dream of the joys of life.

    A wishing well. The song talks about dreams and aspirations for a child.

    I heard this song was by Irons about his child, but apparently it was written by Vedder. Any clarification about this would be greatly appreciated.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...
