Song of the Moment: Sirens

[BurtReynolds]

Just curious, what kind of music would you like them to be playing now?

I'd like them to age with the grace of Tom Waits.
They went all Rod Steward on us.

Amiwrong?

Forget what you want(ed), do you still hate what you're hearing?

This is what I've been saying for years.

'Pearl jam didn't meet my personal list of demands for their new songs so therefore they suck and this is the worst song ever'

Go hug your mom and get over it. Or at least try grow the fuck up a bit.

What? Grow the fuck up? These guys plunged me into the middle of the 80's ffs, how much older do you want me to feel?

heh.

[OmegaprimeVKM]

all the time. But if it is from a director that I like and respect, and I wasn't sure what I thought the first time I'll wait a while and multiple views to make sure more doesn't reveal itself.

I would probably jump all over that kind of decision because frankly you shouldn't be basing your levels of patience on a prior track record. But not knowing you personally you're more than entitled to make your own mind up - what I think is irrelevant.

I've made my mind up now though. This band jumped the shark back in 2006 and they are now 3 records into their extremely steep decline. I will not pay £100 to see them play Sirens, The Fixer, Come Back, Johnny Guitar, WWS and Mind Your Manners whilst Insignificance, Can't Keep, Faithful, Greivance, You Are and other tracks of that ilk are forgotten relics of a bygone era.

I really wish the bastards toured Europe in 2003, when their live shows were at their peak.

I've seen multiple Pj shows in multiple tours and 2003 is without doubt bottom of the pile.
Just an FYI.

Perhaps but that was the point in time where all I was doing was listening to PJ and they could do no wrong.

This is probably where you faltered.

It's OK, I was 15. I grew into those shoes.

I find it cute that Lounge Lizard listened to PJ to feel young

[Thejambi]

It is a beautifully written song from front to back. With all the tracks so far these guys sound appropriate. They don't sound like they are trying to be something they shouldn't be or can't be. They sound competent , confident and committed to the songs.

This song sounds like a modern radio song drawing influences ranging from the 80's through the early 2000's.

[harmless]

Stick some weird alternative shit on this album and I think we have an absolute corker.

But I want something dark and weird, I really do.

[bodysnatcher]

so how close was that german dude's rendition of this song? (haven't listened)

[harmless]

Spot on I think. But it was only the intro.

[bodysnatcher]

can't wait to listen to this song on the train tracks

[harmless]

This song is going to really work, staring out over the sea from the cliffs.

[Heathen]

can't wait to listen to this song on the train tracks

don't do anything stupid, man

[OmegaprimeVKM]

can't wait to listen to this song on the train tracks

Tie me to them whilst you're there

I love this part

"It's a fragile thing, this life we lead.
If I think too much, I can't get over.
Wound by the graves by which we live
our lives with death over our shoulders.
Want you to know that should I go,
I always loved you, held you high above too.
I study your face, and the fear goes away.
The fear goes away.
The fear goes away.
The fear goes away."

I get some pretty intense panic attacks and when I just go sit with my kids and appreciate the hell out of them "the fear goes away".

[Chris_H_2]

Screw this. I'm going to listen to some decent 1980's music [read: Billy Ocean] to clear my ears.

[Strat]

I love nothing that loves me back the same so...

fuck this song!

[bodysnatcher]

the graves by which we live

RIP Pearl Jam

[Vindicator]

WHY did they neuter Mike's solo. It needed to keep going, I love it but it's so short!

[stupidmop]

Why is 'in a good way' winning? Are you all tripping? Am I?

[harmless]

Am I?

Yes.

[HardTI]

Why is 'in a good way' winning? Are you all tripping? Am I?

I feel like im tripping every time I see your new avatar. I swear that thing is watching me.
