Parting Ways Appreciation Thread

talk about lyrical greatness
talk about musical brilliance
add it to a perfect album closer...
and you get Parting Ways

a "hidden" masterpiece of its own


behind her eyes there's curtains...
and they've been closed to hide the flames, remains...
she knows their future's burning, but she can smile just the same, same...
and though her mood is fine today
there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
standing, like a statue
a chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey...
and though he's too big a man to say
there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
drifiting away, drifting away, drifting away...
drifiting away, drifting away, drifting away...

    best song off Binaural...

    i love that song...
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    Yes! This song is absolutely gorgeous. It's simple, but oh so powerful. It really grabs ahold of you. It's such a perfect way to end an awesome album. It just sends you off, seals the deal. It's a song that really does make you drift away. VERY underrated indeed. I have much love for this one. One hell of a song.

    <~~~ off to BUMP a post I made for it awhile back. Double the appreciation. :D

    OH YES!!! There's no way i'm not gonna reply to this thread!!! I absolutely love this song. It's one of the most beautiful songs PJ has ever produced! OMG, and this song has been so relevant at times. Eddie has perfectly summed up the thing i'm afraid of in this one gorgeous song.

    The 'drifting away....' part at the end? Wow, i'm in tears when i hear that!! I can't help it, it's just perfect!!!
    Thanks for making this wonderful thread!! It deserves praise!!
