    M.Y.T.H. is
    belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
    we never listen
    voice inside so drowned out
    ...so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream, where i'm not ugly and you're looking at me...

    I got a Faithful tattoo because I love this song soo much!!!
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    I will not respond to this thread until the spelling of FAITHFULL is fixed. :)
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    i've been absurdly obsessed with faithfull myself lately....it sure is an oddly structured song.... verse-chorus-jam-chorus-verse....i agree the live feel is what makes it over the top great.

    i am so Faithful and thankful to this song...this album which was my first Pj cd (two years ago) and i feel like telling my story:

    i would like to start by saying that i am happy with my beleifs and i dont want to change anyones mind if they dont agree with me. all i hope for is acceptance.

    this song was one of the first that really hit me and changed my way of thinking about religion. the principles of religion are a beautiful notion, but in my case the basic form of love, tolerance, having faith in people was not present at my childhood church. my family discouraged my curiousity when i came home with questions that they just couldn't answer.
    i beleive that religion can be detrimental under the wrong circumstances, as it was in my case. my religion caused me to not care so much about what I can do for people and myself, for me this was harmful. after i stopped praying, attending church and reading the bible i could concentrate on making myself happy as well as helping others. even without religion, the important values can still be maintained. right now, i dont need religion to love the world and every part of it. All i need is Pearl Jam.

    this song to me represents the feelings that i have towards religion. children being taught something that has no evidence is real and arent supposed to question, fear is a part of ones relationship with God, we are taught to be afraid of someone who also loves us and looks out for us? people stop listening to their instincts out of fear that they are wrong.
    i have probably infuriated a few people by now but this life is short and i'll say what i can when i can.

    thank you Pearl Jam for the song Faithful. a burden has been lifted and a life has been changed:)

    Wow! That is some deep stuff threecrookedhearts6! I totally feel you though, Pearl Jam = my religion. ;) This song always uplifts my soul. It doesn't matter what you believe, it only matters that you believe....

    I just listened to the MILANO version for the first time! (((:D))) SUPER HOLY FAITHFULLNESS! The crowd is soooooo loud! They are singing the shit outta this baby! I didn't think it was possible for this song to lift me any higher but this beautiful crowd has done it! :o *flys away*

    Beautiful song. Nice surprise in Vegas this year.



    M.Y.T.H. is
    Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
    We never listen
    Voice inside so drowned out
    Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
    And everything is you
    Me you, you me, it's all related
    What's a boy to do?
    Just be darling and I will be too
    Faithful to you
    If You Give, You Begin To Live

    But You Might Die Trying

    I too have listened to it for the past couple of days. For me it's one of those songs you re-visit and have an entirely new apprecaition for. Same with Brain of J...it was just so so for me when it came out but now I totally into it. Yield is so solid...Love it!

    And I also heard it again as part of the soundcheck in Pistoia!

    So so good! :)

    I'm through with
    SCREEEEEAMING!
    :D:D:D

    Too much happiness! How does it feel this good???
    I always have the SVT images in my head too (of course) everytime I hear it...which just brings the happy even more. Aww Ed smiling as he's singing along. :D

    lgt, guess what version I'm currently stuck on?? ;) hehe. I cannot stop listening to this boot!!

    Ooh and Low_Light03 I completely agree. Getting this song in Vegas MADE that entire show for me. No really...THIS SONG made that entire show. The way it was done? Get outta here! The super spiritual triple shot...

    <<GIVEN TO FLY into MARKER IN THE SAND into FAITHFULL>>

    Hallelujah PJ! :o
    Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!

    Such a beautiful song... it reminds me of what I believe - of my family that's like a sanctuary to my heart, of my friends that are just there beside me sharing my beliefs, of all the beautiful things in the world that I want to see, to hear, to taste... in short it reminds me of all the things that make me think when I woke up every day: ''Oooh I wanna live today!!!''







    (Atheists Are Jolly People:-)
    En mi vida,
    el oscuro me mantiene
    cuando yo te vi
    en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

    Estrella de la mañana
    Samael te persigo a ti
    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    I'm currently listening to the PHILLY '05 version and remembering when a gorgeous soul called me from the show and let me listen to one of the GREATEST songs on the planet. ((:D))

    Aww ezekiels_oblivion....that was really beautiful.
    :)

    *sigh*
    I truly worship all that this song does. :o


    I noticed that PJ did another super spiritual combo of FAITHFULL & MARKER again in Aussie!
    Love it!

    i think This song is about faith.
    Each person has faith in something, it keeps us alive and going.
    I get the feeling in this song that we're believing in things that we shouldn't believe in, that we are too gullible...
    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
