They are yeah.
I just read that in some group, so it could've been anywhere, I jut assumed the guy meant the US
Is that info available for its performance overall?

You need to stop stating stuff you read "from some guy" as fact.

I'm wondering if these remaining tracks will drastically alter the record as a whole.
Edit: that was meant for the other thread, hang on.

Listening to these lyrics, one thought repeats in my head: It's going to be hilarious when Ed and Jill break up.

We'll either get a great album out of it, or the end of the band.

In other news, the Sirens video has over a million views already. 1,052,640 when I last checked. That's impressive considering it's been out for just 4 days.

Don't pay much attention to those numbers. 857,324 of those are 76 10C members playing it over and over to help them decide weather to revoke their membership over the song or not.

Impressive. But, how many of those can be traced to Harmless' IP?

For what it is worth, I just checked and Sirens is the top rock song on iTunes in the US. LB is also the #8 album on the rock chart.

Or for that matter, mine
However, you could say the same for every video/song every band ever releases. There are always the hardcores who will view them multiple times.

By the way, I think I have an idea what these lines in the song mean, or might mean:
Every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand
The choices/mistakes could be Ed continuing to smoke or drink or something more serious which we are not privy too. Maybe Jill threatened to leave him over said issue. The last line follows from the previous ones, i.e. her choosing to stay with that other man. He'll wait for her but he'll understand if she doesn't come back. I don't think it's a departure from the rest of the song. He's addressing his insecurities over the relationship which could end due to his mistakes or his impending death.
I understand the fear he talks about here very well. A friend of mine just lost his younger brother (24) in a horrible car accident a few days ago. That kid had his whole life in front of him. You just never know with life.

Your possible explanation of those lyrics works for me; I didn't see that last line connecting with the previous one. Although, didn't Beth (?) cheat on him? Maybe this song is like a throwback to her and that experience, which is then resolved in Future Days, about Jill. Maybe.
