Song of the Moment: Sirens

[harmless]

The previous song is MFS, before this one. And yes he did.

[harmless]

I'm just suddenly remembering the line "Oh, she walks slowly across a young man's room" and suddenly there are echoes of Alive in these two songs... MFS and Sirens.

I'm just joining imaginary dots but maybe the guy is ill?

Maybe that's the story in the song, sure. I still don't get "If you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand...".

[LetMeSleep]

Just Breathe has that too. The final line, Meet you on the other side.

And Sirens echoes a fair few lines in JB as well.

I read to really read the lyrics again. And learn em.

I like that the lyrics are actually open to discussion. The Backspacer songs weren't conducive to that.

Did these new songs give us a key to that, or are we looking back and now being able to make connections in retrospect?

They needed the logical extension, I guess...

Sirens was number 1 on iTunes yesterday.

Boom's solo at 2:18 is amazing!

[stupidmop]

I think hes just morbid and thinks about/worrys about dying alot. Just breathe mentions dying, the end and speed of sound both end with the narrator dying. The fixer has that verse about digging eachothers graves, swallowed whole has that bridge about death being welcome shade from life.

So Man of the Hour is a pretty great song.

For some reason this seemed like the thread to mention that in.

[Birds in Hell]

Sirens was number 1 on iTunes yesterday.

I'm not sure that's true.

[LuNY]

This song is so good. The vocals in the very beginning are amazing. Then it just builds, it is a classic. The final "if I think too much I can get over...." is a genius performance.

Most overlooked in the catalog maybe?

The radio edit has ed starting to sing right over the opening beat
