Song of the Moment: Sirens

[harmless]

Not trying to be a dick but the line is "I danced in laughter with the ever after" i.e I courted death.

This song has gradually won me over--it's difficult not to be impressed by how perfect a facsimile it is of that '80's rock ballad style, intentional or not, so much so that I find myself nodding along at the astuteness of a lyric like "we danced with laughter in the ever after" rather than seething with rage at the idea that an otherwise sensible person would voluntarily record himself saying such a thing. Every time I hear it I feel like it's reminding me of a very specific song that I can't put my finger on (for some reason my mind keeps returning to "High Enough" by Damn Yankees, though I don't think that's it), but I think that might just be because it does such a thorough job touching on virtually every component of the genre that my mind is trying to convince me that it's already part of the great spandex pantheon.

Put it another way: imagine going to restaurant and seeing an extremely well-dressed man at a nearby table--an Armani suit, really expensive shoes, the whole works--who then turns his head to the side and you notice that in one of his ears he is wearing a huge dangly earring made out of big purple rhinestones. Of course you immediately dismiss it as garish, but you still spend the whole night staring at it. This song is the dangly purple rhinestone earring of the Pearl Jam catalog--a fashion faux-pas that you know could have the taste police swarming the place with warrants within seconds, but you don't call because in your heart you can't wish ill fortune upon such absurdity.

As long as they don't pierce thier other ear, or nose, or belly button....or a face tattoo

The song really needs to be at a lazy pace to work well. It's surprising because ATW is slightly slower (similar groove), but Matt got that one right more often than not.

Matt Cameron can't do that. He speeds up everything.

I stand corrected on my quoting of the lyrics. However, my larger implied point was that there are few combinations of the words "danced" and "laughter" and "ever after" that could be fit into that small of a lyrical space and not sound like they came straight out of a Carrie Underwood song.
