    i love this song to bits, i so wanna see it live for mikes solo.

    lyrics are so coincidental with cobain, especially the cigar box on the floor.




    ps i may be wrong but isn't it ' "vengence has no place" he swears to her'

    That song has an amazing beat. It's definitely one of my faves!

    I wish I could hear the song live-HINT!!! Actually, the more I think about immortality, the less I understand what the song is about. I haven't dived deep into the meaning, but it seems to be about the present as opposed to any question of the future - what do you think?

    Definitely in my top five. The most beautiful music.

    I think this is one of their very best. I've said that I think it's up there with the great, classic rock songs, like Stairway to Heaven, Love Reign O'er Me, and All Along the Watchtower, etc. By boyfriend scoffed, but Immortality has a groove and a sound and lyrics that are classic and enduring and... immortal. Not to mention how AMAZINGLY perfect Eddie's voice is for this song, and add to that the legend that swirls around it regarding Kurt's death. Just an incredibly great tune. IMO. ;)

    Definetly one of Ed's finer lyrical moments in my honest opinion.

    A trap door in the sun...in the sun I feel as one. If I recall correctly PJ were kinda disillusioned with fame etc by this time. Espcially after the Atlanta concert and Kurt's passing.

    The songs ends on a very upbeat note though...doesn't Mike use a Doboro on the track?

    love this song, it makes me think of kurt, and of the tragedy of live.

    when the song starts, i wish to cry, but the song still leaves a little smile on my face when it ends,
    and then i think to myself: "that´s why i love this band so much"
    i hurt myself today,
    to see if i still feel,
    i focus all the pain,
    the only thing that´s real...

    Vitalogy beginning to end was IMO Ed's best lyrical work...i like the darkness of it...that was the album that got me hooked on PJ

    This JAM??? HOLY SHIT!!!!!


    I hear ya wakeupscreaming, always makes me think of him as well....that last line? :( Damn!! And YES, completely agree about the last thing you said too. I often do find myself crying along to this one, but with a smile on my face. That solo really is not of this earth...completely takes you away/takes care of you. :o

    All hail the immortal IMMORTALITY!

    Listen to "Immortality", read the lyrics, look at this picture, and tell me what you think.
