It looks like a slow jam.

I like how Stone is staring directly at Matt's hands.

I can't quite believe PJ have piqued my interest again, but they have. I need more rumours and speculation though or I'm gonna go crazy. Is anyone game?

I don't know how to do screen grabs. But I think the new song we have is called Sirens, and I think that the lyrics will be to do with messages of propaganda from the heavens and from Christian TV. To line up with the ariel / lightning conductor / weathervane artwork.

Sirens is gonna be about Firetruck sirens. Ed is finally gonna come clean about his obvious desire to be a fireman. This is Pearl Jam's farewell tour, and when it's over Ed is gonna join the Seattle Fire Department.

The last night of the tour in Seattle, during DTE a huge fire will erupt midstage at the "2010 watch it go to fire!" line. Mike will run circles around the fire and do scissor kicks while Jeff stands on the outskirts of it doing his patented head nod. Out of nowhere, Ed will descend from from a fireman's pole, grab a hose, and put the fire out. As he puts the fire out, the band will kick into Sirens. Ed will pass the hose along the front row of the crowd for them to drink from it a la Crazy Mary. At the end of Sirens he will ride off in a firetruck and Stone will front the band for a cover of My Hero by the Foo Fighters. It will go down in history as the greatest Pearl Jam show ever.

It's about mermaids but the word was too long and didn't fit the metrics so Ed switched to the similar sirens. So it's about sirens riding high among big waves.
