I can't explain how this song is making me feel at the moment, but I'm gunna do my best to try!
It's fukin awesome! The lyrics are amazing and are so realistic (this isn't gunna come out at alll how I planned but who gives a shit!?)
*I wish I was the pedl brake that you depended on*
Now someone try and tell me that isn't great?!
I've said it so many times and people still disagree but Wishlist is one of THE best songs PJ have done and I thank em so much!
The song means a lot to me and I guess the fact that not many people like it, makes it even more special to me!
Does anyone else have a song that speaks to them like this (you may not know what I'm babbling about but if you do.... SPEAK UP!)
I know this has been discussed loads with favourite song/ most emotional song but I'm talking about a song that means a lot to you not just lyrically but that every aspect of it makes it special to you? Anyone hear what I'm saying here?

yeah... wishlist lyrics are fucking awesome..!!!
means a lot...
my fav part is
I Wish i was the verb to trust that never let you down!!!
amazing!!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 singing0 -

wishlist is absoltely one of the best songs, just amazing.
i like the lines:
"i wish i was a messenger and all the news was good" and the last line "wish i was a radio song the one that you turned up", just as the music starts to turn down...
wishlist is an awesome song, such a lyric...0 -

Do you guys have any other songs that are special to you? Wishlist is mine, as you mentioned... the lyrics are awesome and it just reminds me of certain things... each line is a reminder of something new!20-04-2006 04-09-2006 05-09-2006 11-09-2006 16-09-2006 17-09-2006 18-06-2007 21-06-2007 26-06-2007 28-06-2007 17-08-2009 20-05-2010 21-05-2010

Yeah, I like Wishlist too.
The guitars are great, so harmonically, and I love the lyrocs too.
I like the " I wish I was a sacrifce but somehow still lived on" line
but the " I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the greound with 50 million hands up raised and opened towards the sky"
the voice is rising in just an awsome way.
And the " I wish I was a the full moon shinig of your cameros hood" is beautiful too.
btw: In live concerts I think Ed sings, I wish I was a neutron bomb for once I COULDN'T go off( instead for once I COULD go off)
and he sings, I wish I was a LIVING THING at home behind the sun, (instead of ALIEN)
And in the live in the garden version of it he singssomething totally different in the part with the 50 million hands up raised and opened the sky, anybody understood that?BANZÄÄÄ
When he was six, he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine, he deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact, no trade-backs
So this is what it's like to be an adult?
If he only knew now what he knew then0 -
I love wishlist to.."I wish I was the full moon shining off your camero's hood".... I also love Low light, every time I hear that song I gives me goose bumps!0

"Heaven Coming Down"
with nothing to lose you'd waste away, obscure in exile
they've witnessed the times, you've gone astray
whose fault? now you're thinking...
theres's nothing to prove, a message from the crowd, to the shore...
and it feels now, just like heaven's coming down
your soul shakes free, as its conscience hits the ground
so strange are the ways, they all have changed, still life it stays the same
a break from the past, could make it last, maybe just a little longer
there's nothing to prove, a message from the crowd, to the shore...
you surrender, love under will, rest assured you're adored
and it feels now, just lie heaven's coming down
your soul shakes free, as its conscience hits the ground
this time, no tears, just one last chance to see you prove
stay strong, no fears, there is a change that's coming through
hold on my love, hold on...
Just when you think the whole world has turned to sh*t, this song comes on and makes it all seem ok - gives me a release. Thanks for letting me share it with you all."Things don't really change - they just move on."0 -

During the MSG version, he says "...of all you fuckin' New Yorkers' hands upraised before the sky.""This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."0 -
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on.
I wish I was a messenger, and all the news is good.
I wish I was the pedal break that you depended on.20-04-2006 04-09-2006 05-09-2006 11-09-2006 16-09-2006 17-09-2006 18-06-2007 21-06-2007 26-06-2007 28-06-2007 17-08-2009 20-05-2010 21-05-2010

I really dig the lyrics "I wish I was the suievener that you kept your house key on" There are alot of bases touched in this song. It is so simple and obvious that it becomes genius. It is one of those songs that just come togather by way of planetary energy.0

Yeah, the lyrics appear really simple but every time I look at them, another 'I wish' comes to my mind.
I love the meaning of this song, my own interpritation that is, and it's such a great song to cheer you up20-04-2006 04-09-2006 05-09-2006 11-09-2006 16-09-2006 17-09-2006 18-06-2007 21-06-2007 26-06-2007 28-06-2007 17-08-2009 20-05-2010 21-05-2010

i don't know, Wishlist has always made me feel sad. The tags Ed did this year were uplifting but the song always kinda makes me feel a bit upset."This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."0 -
Well I guess it depends how you look at it.
1) It's a list of things to look at and make you feel grateful for the things and the life you have
or
2) You can look at it and envy the life you want
This is just my interpritation but it can swing either way I think.20-04-2006 04-09-2006 05-09-2006 11-09-2006 16-09-2006 17-09-2006 18-06-2007 21-06-2007 26-06-2007 28-06-2007 17-08-2009 20-05-2010 21-05-2010

there are only a few pearl jam songs that give me the huge rush like wishlist. the part with the 50 million hands upraised and open to the sky always affects me. the image it provokes is powerful and deep inside i hope that i could see something like that.The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.

Greetings, earthlings ;-))
aaah, WISHLIST...to me it´s not a song but pure high level poetry disguised as singalong tune. I love all the images he used, and I always had the impression that all of them put together make a very good image of that poet´s inner self in all its capacities and priorities...There is so much grace in putting that in such a tongue-in-cheek-kind of tune!
