Pearl Jam - Thumbing My Way

Pearl Jam-Love Boat Captain

Daily Selections

Whoa. Two great songs from the Riot Act cd... PJ is in Chicago giving a concert that I cant go to tonight... but I will see them on Sunday, so I am trying not to be too bummed...

THUMBING MY WAY

i have not been home since you left long ago i'm thumbing my way back to heaven counting steps, walking backwards on the road i'm counting my way back to heaven i can't be free with what's locked inside of me if there was a key, you took it in your handthere's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad the questions linger overhead no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead i'm thumbing my way back to heaven i wish that i could hold you i wish that i had thinking 'bout heaven i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives choosing the shiny ones instead i turned my back, now there's no turning back no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead i smile, but who am i kidding? i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride i'm thumbing my way back to heaven thumbing my way back to heaven i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...

LOVE BOAT CAPTAIN... every time I hear this song I think of Rob Cash...

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.Love boat captainTake the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.All you need is loveIs this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.Hold me, and make it the truth,...That when all is lost there will be you,...Cause to the universe I don't mean a thingAnd there's just one word I stil believeAnd it'sIt's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago todayAnd if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...The wisdom that the old can't give awayHey,...Constant recoil...Sometimes lifeDon't leave you alone.Hold me, and make it the truth,...That when all is lost there will be you.Cause to the universe I don't mean a thingAnd there's just one word that I still believe and it'sLove,... love. love. love. love.Love boat captainTake the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..Love,.. love,...Love.

Pearl Jam - Soon Forget

A simple song filled with important words

The lyrics of this short song are powerful and should be thought of everytime your day seems to take a turn south... there are more important things going on. Second song of the day: SOON FORGET. Oh, Eddie is beautiful in this video...

"Soon Forget"
sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette
thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
what's missing? he's living a day he'll soon forget
that's one more time around, the sun is going down
the moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting,
putting people down he's pissing,
he's living a day he'll soon forget c
ounts his money every morning
the only thing that keeps him horny
locked in a giant house, that's alarming
the townsfolk, they all laugh
sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent
seems the more you make, equals the loneliness you get
and it's fitting, he's barely living, a day he'll soon forget
that's one more time around, there is not a sound
he's lying dead clutching benjamins, never put the money down
he's stiffening, we're all whistling
a man we'll soon forget

The countdown continues...

The song of the day (well, the first posted song today) is beautiful. In college my favorite line was "caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go..." Still love it to this day. I swear... life story! So first posting today is NOTHINGMAN.

"Nothingman"once divided...nothing left to subtract...
some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
nothingman... nothingman... isn't it something?
nothingman...
she once believed...in every story he had to tell...
one day she stiffened...took the other side...
empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
one just escapes...one's left inside the well...
and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...
nothingman... nothingman... isn't it something?
nothingman...
oh, she don't want him...oh, she won't feed him...
after he's flown away...
oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...burn...burn...
nothingman... nothingman...
isn't it something?
nothingman...nothingman...
coulda' been something...nothingman...oh...ohh...ohh...
