Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
she lets go
Common Man he don't stand a chance no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
no way to save someone who won't take the rope
and just let's go
One Man Stands the edge of the ocean
a beacon on dry land
Eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the dawn
hurricane has the trade winds blowing
gale force shaking windows in the storm
shipwreck from a love that he calls home
one light on
Somewhere there's a siren singing
a song only he hears
all the strengths you might think would
disappear resolving
one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
Eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the
darkness leaves the dawn
Makes me ache
Makes me shake
Is it so wrong to think that
Love can keep us safe?
Last I saw he was out there waiting
a silhouette in the black light full moon glow
in the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore
somewhere there's a siren singing
a song only he hears
all the strength
that you might think would disappear, resolving
one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
eyes are closed, you cannot know
but his heart don't seem to roam...
grow...
home....
Hey, a solid 500 bunch of ya rated this a 6 or less. Methinks you're listening with one ear tied behind your back. Just the opposite I, this is one of PJ's best tracks. 8 on you.
I gave it a TEN! Thanx RP!
This band has a few OK songs, this one isn't one of them. Tedious and labored
Wrong. This song is alive.
Jeez Eddie, I really thought you nailed it finding a Mandolin at an Opp-shop.
Whooops, I never thought to check this release date - no matter, it's a crap song.
Sounds like a medicore Red Hot Chille Peppers song
almost every song by rhcp is mediocre--so does not say much
What he said. Poopoh to those for whom this is a mediocre PJ song. FWIW, not agreeing. You say a 6.4 tomato, I say an 8 nugget.
OK, so say what to the Red Hot Chillies are a mediocre Pearl Jam?
YES
but without the dippy dippty rap shit AK uses when he cannot make up relevant lyrics
Hey, at least he's trying to sing here...
Their brush with Grunge back in the day became a career for them!
I had front row seats stage right for the Stones at Key Arena in '05 and
Vedder was about 10 rows back from us. Said hi to him.
That's the work of Dan Perkins - aka Tom Tomorrow. He does the weekly comic strip This Modern World.
it's a good one!! ..
He knows what you did — he saw you when you thought no one else was around.

I don't think that's the case with this song. Have you looked at the rating distribution? Most of the votes are 7, followed closely by 8. The relatively few haters that have voted don't seem to have had much of an impact on the rating of this song. The song is ok but nothing great.
we all do.

Exactly. I think this album is their best effort in some time and this some gets an 8 from me.
This isn't bad, but I'm just not excited about them anymore.
I'd love to see them live...sounds great.
And I agree, a band has to build and grow, if they worry too much about moving on they become stagnant.
Saw them a couple of years ago here in Columbia. Excellent show.
This song gets better everytime I hear it. 7<8.
Saw them twice on their four night run to close the Philly Spectrum. Played about 120 different songs over the course. Played 40 songs on closing night. Best live rock band on the planet bar none.
New record has several very good songs. Overall not as strong as the self-titled (Avocado) record.
But these folks who are still looking for them to re-do Even Flow and Alive really don't understand how a band sustains a creative life.
They mature, build on their core sound and explore various aspects of their interests.

agree, only really good song on here is Unthought Known, and I'm one of the hugest PJ fans out there. The "Into the Wild" soundtrack was so freakin' awesome, methinks Ed may be saving some of the better songs he's written lately for his next solo release, perhaps
"Among the Waves" is a great tune
Their lead singer should try something other than monotone.
Couldn't be more clueless.
At their worst - Pearl Jam is still better than a wealth of bands out there. I agree though - this record doesn't seem to have the teeth of earlier releases.

No doubt about it, haters will hate. On the other hand, I'm a big fan of Vedder and PJ, but I think this particular song is like a mediocre parody of Pearl Jam. There is nothing remarkable about it, other than how far they have fallen from their former greatness.

Agreed, this happened with a lot of outstanding bands, as RHCP, as well... I guess you cannot be always good
Hard to believe Pearl Jam is still going strong after almost 20 years.
Cheers!
Totally agree! I heard "Amongst the Waves" for the first time when they played their first night at the Gibson here in L.A. The whole show was amazing.
I think they came close to matching Ten on their last album. This is also a very good record, but on this one they actually sound like they are having fun. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a Pearl Jam album; there are lots of meaty riffs and there is the omnipresent serious devotion to their craft, but they also sound comfortable in their own skin. Rock on Pearl Jam!

If you don't like what this station plays then go back to reading and regurgitating whatever Pitchfork tells you to.
Relax dude, don't be so anxious to jump to conclusions. FWIW, I love RP, but I think this song sucks. No need for all the defensiveness and hostility. Sheesh!
Scary: once again we agree. . .
yep, indeed. All their songs sound exactly alike. Angsty and heavy. Doesn't this guy ever have even a mildly happy thought? Lighten up, dude?
yep
"Damn it Jim! I'm a doctor, not a train engineer!"
I really wish he would have said, "Christ Jim! I'm an actor, not a doctor!"

Yeah. Was thinking, can't PJ do better than this?
I'll take Abby Normal in the middle!
"Damn it Jim! I'm a doctor, not a train engineer!"
Huh? Toasted? Salty? Crunchy?

Agreed! I like this new one. Can RP rest "Alive" and "Black" while we listen to the new album? ......please?
YES

Eddie sings like he's the perennial winner of the Participation Trophy at a very rural state fair...
