Alright people, I can't get enough PJ for years now, but I can't seem to share any of the enthusiasm that everyone else seems to have for Nothing as it Seems. Please, let me know why you all love it so damn much! I really need to know.

    Because of Mike's guitar solo, and it reminds me of Link from the Legend of Zelda!!! There, I got my 2 cents in.

    Yeah. I haven't quite figured it out yet. But the song makes me think of Link from Legend of Zelda. I mean c'mon, with Stone's part and Mike's part combined I picture Link standing in a dark forest looking all around with that ferry and him grasping onto his sword.

    Turn it up FULL BLAST, and just try to grasp what Vedders saying... what he means by his words... then you'll realize the music couldn't possibly be any more perfect for the given subject matter.


    Everything sounds so distant...

    In the end I looked like the rest of them.

    I love that song
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    The song is dark and a psychologically disturbing description of a man who seems to be narrowminded,empty and has no real feel (or knowledge of love and life) for the things around him. One way ticket on life , nothing else gets in his mind. The little that he needs, is home. Home is a hell of alot, but not to him.

    put on a pair of headphones, and try listening to each of the different instruments seperatley, starting with mikes guitar, then eddies voice, jeffs BOOMING bass, stones accoustic guitar and even matts hihat work...its an awesome song. loved it from the moment i heard it. try the album version with really BIG set of headphones, i think ull enjoy it more that way casue u can hear all the little pieces of the song.

    oh i almost forgot my favorite line.... wispers through a megga phone, the song has great imagery...

    I LOVE NAIS! It's my fav. song off of Binaural (barely made it over Grievance) The first time I heard it was through headphones. It was soooo amazing. Like jeff's_the_man said, you have to listen to every part. It always makes me emotional. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it. Am I the only one who gets emotional by PJ songs?? The music, Ed's voice.......

    Have you heard BENAROYA??? :eek:

    If so, and still nothing...I don't know man. Not much hope there. :p

    It either hits ya or it doesn't and there's not really anything we can do or say to change that. You can't force it. You do seem very intrigued though which I think is awesome.

    Perhaps try checking out this thread....
