Hey Byrnzie thanks for the sited tour reference of Come Back.
I have noticed that they don't play this song all that much. It is lovely live.I heard it May 9, 2006 at the Toronto show.

They have at Lisbon , but I didn´t have the ticket ( I´m not economically viable) so I stayed outside Pavilhão Atlântico. I tried to sneak in, when they were playing "come back", suddenly I felt it was possible to get inside and clime into stage to sing " Inside Job" like if they were calling me to do it ,I know it sounds insane, but if the bouncers weren´t there, I swear to you I would have walked right trought the crowd and asked to sing the song, like a sick man in need for healing, but I know my karma is to keep blowing chances away till the day I die, so nothing happened like since the day I´ve been born . I guess some persons got to keep living the shity life so people like you can have the " days of my live ", if eveybody was has happy all the the time how would they know that happiness exists, so be happy and eat well like my momma keeps telling her cat, and let the god of synchronism sort who´s gotta live and those who gotta remember others they are alive.
Or Maybe I should apologize the world for being a shit for brains and keep writing diearria like a comatose kind of worm so that´s all.
Keep living in your world don´t mind if I can´t reach it.

Citizen db bick, I have enjoyed Pearl Jam's albums since Ten. My first show was last September 2005, then the second time around on May 9 ,2006.Cheer up. Fuck Karma! You can do anything you set out to do.Use that conviction and make a diffrence for yourself. Be kind to yourself and others, everyone you meet is fighting some type of battle. Love and peace

I sincerely hope that Ed's friend comes home safely...

I`ve lost both my parents, and many other people I've loved (and still do). The lyrics reflects exactly how I felt, at first all the time -every fu**ing minute-, and how I now feel when I think about this stuff. When I read the few parts from the lyrics you've posted here...Waw..I just can't explain how much they mean to me...To dream about my mom, there are nights that I go to bed wishing I could see her in my dreams... And I remember, when my father had just passed, thinking that he was going to walk through the door every time I heard the elevator door...Or waking up in the morning to get that overwhelming feeling of distress that hits you when you remember what happened.
Well, anyway...I think this particular line "please say that if you hadn't to go I wouldn't have lost you another way" means that in some way he still needs a reaffirmation of their friendship...It's like if somehow he feels small next to him, and it might be because he's talking about someone who he loves but also he admires... And there's also something else...I'll need to explain something first...when you loose someone (at least, in my case) you get angry at them, and you get angry at life, and you feel (in a very selfish way) like they didn't care as much for you as to stay near, with you, keeping you company ant taking care of you...Well, it's too personal, I know...but that's what I love about this band..It gets too personal all the time! So I interpret there's something about that feeling in this line...
You can see that Ed really loved this man, that in some point Johnny must had given him the support he needed, or something similar.
Ok, I dont' really know Ed, so i guess I shouldn't be writing about this things without real cause knowledge, it's just my humble opinion!
Sorry for my english!!
