Garden, Oslo Telenor Arena 29/6 2014

Kärlek!! <3 <3 <3

the direction of the eye
so misleading
the defection of the soul
nauseously quick

I don't question
our existence
I just question
our modern needs

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

after all is done
we're still alone
I won't be taken
yet I'll go...

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

I don't show...
I don't share...
I don't need
what you have to give...

Immortality

Jag hoppas på en odödlig konsert ikväll...
Spelad live 152 gånger sedan april 1994.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Eddie Vedder (hela bandet)

Vacate is the word, vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear, vessel stabbed next up volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere

A truant finds home and a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun, immortality

As privileged as a whore, victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor

A truant finds home and a wish to hold on to
But saw the trapdoor in the sun, immortality

I cannot stop the thought of runnin' in the dark
Comin' up a which way sign, all good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold, mom, auctioned forearm
And whispers in the sand
Truants move on, cannot stay long
Some die just to live

My father's son

Spelad live 5 gånger sedan oktober 2013.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Jeff Ament

I come from genius and I am my father's son
Too bad he was a psychopath
And now I'm the next in line

Then there's dear mother, yeh shirley
She's a work of art
Never got top dollar, but she gave us all our start

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowning me
Can I get a release?
I'm a volunteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
Got me tooth and nail

Yeh, How's about one conversation
With nothing else left to be had?
With this your young long lost son
And his never had dear old dad

Forget the insemination
And for that, I'm supposed to be glad?
What a pity you left us so soon
To climb your mountain of regret

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool dark and deep
Can I get a release?
Can I volunteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
I gotta set sail

All the bright lights shining
As you're trying to breathe in thin air
Cannot forget your hiding
Collected wounds left unhealed

When every thought you're thinking
Sinks you darker than a new moon sky
Far away lights rising
In the whites of your eyes

Now father you're dead and gone
And I'm finally free to be me
Thanks for all your fucked-up gifts
For which I got no sympathy

Now I'm living in a war torn place
Hear the bombs, a 5th Symphony
Thanks for this and thanks for that
I gotta let go legacy

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowning me
Can I beg a release?
Can I volunteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
I gotta set sail

You are

This broken wheel is coming undone
And the roads exploding
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you,...

Love is a tower
And you're the key
Leading me higher
When you let me in

Keeping us close,... so close
On down the line

Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you

You are a tower of
Strength to me
The darkening hour
Sees light again

Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are...

Love is a tower
Of strength to me
I am the shoreline
But you're the sea

You are.

Yeah, hey, hey
When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there's no love, I wanna try to love again

I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sleeping by myself

Idag är det fredag. Imorgon är det lördag. På söndag är det PEARL JAM KONSERT!!!
Denna låten kommer från början från Eddie Vedders soloalbum "Ukulele songs", men är också med som en Pearl Jam låt på deras senaste album.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Eddie Vedder

I should have know there was someone else
Now I'm alone I always kept it to myself
Now I believe in nothing
Not today as I move myself out of your sight

Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

I could never go to noone else
The hurt don't show but who knows, time will tell
Now I believe in nothing but the pain
That I can't see this turning out right

Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Forever be sad and lonely
Forever never be the same
Oh I close my eyes and wait for a sign
Am I just waiting in vain?

Oh I close my eyes and wait for a sign
Am I just waiting in vain?

Oh, I believe in love and disaster
Sometimes the two are just the same
I'm beginning to see
What's left of me is gonna have to be free to survive

Oh, I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

I believe in nothing but the pain
And I can't see this turning out right
I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Swallowed whole

I can feel the dawn
I can feel the Earth
I can feel the living all around
Round round round
All around, round round round

I could choose a path
I could choose the word
I can start the healing
Bring it now, now now now
Bring it now, now now now

Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end
Hear the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise
Get swallowed whole

I could feel the sun
I can see the sound
I could set myself right here and drown,
Drown drown drown
Drown drown drown

I can feel the rush
I could clear the clouds
I could set the needle, spin it loud
Loud loud loud loud
Loud loud loud loud

I can here the crash
I can fee the pound
I can feel the current pulling down
Down down down
Down down down down

Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end
Feel the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise
Gets swallowed whole

With no quiet to be found
Spirit lifted off the ground
And what lies beyond the grave
Might be welcome change
Time will come, come what may
With now rest in peace
Until that day

I could choose a path
I could choose the word
I can start the healing, bring it now
Now now now
Now now now now

I could be the sun
I can be the sound
I could set myself right here and drown
Drown drown drown
Drown drown drown drown

Whispered songs inside the wind
Breathing in forgiveness
And the chapter I've not read
Turn the page...

Oceans

Åååååååhhh!!!!

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Stone Gossard

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Guide me towards you
Know something's left
And we're all allowed to dream
Of the next time we touch..........

You don't have to stray
The oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
I will be...
I will be...
There once more.........

Given to fly

Spelad live 402 gånger sedan november 1997. En favorit.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Mike McCready

He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh

He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

In my tree

En annan önskelåt på konserten! Å andra sidan... om jag hade fått önska låtar så hade de aldrig fått sluta spela... :-D

up here in my tree, yeah
newspapers matter not to me, yeah
no more crowbars to my head, yeah
i'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah
wave to all my friends, yeah
they don't seem to notice me, no
all their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, (tem-pted)
up here so high i start to shake
up here so high the sky i scrape
i'm so high i hold just one breath here within my chest
just like innocence
(eddie's down in his home)
(oh, the blue sky it's his home)
(eddie's blue sky home)
(oh, the blue sky it's his home)
i remember when, yeah
i swore i knew everything, oh yeah
let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
it's growing up just like me, yeah
i'm so light the wind he shakes
i'm so high the sky i scrape
i'm so light i hold just one breath and go back to my nest
sleep with innocence...
up here so high the boughs they break
up here so high the sky i scrape
had my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse
of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
baby got it, still got it

Yellow Moon

Vackert. Hoppas att de spelar denna på konserten!

Here far away
One could feel the earth vibrate
Moon changing shape and shade
as we all do under its gaze
Yellow moon on the rise
Yellow moon on the rise

Round we go, where we stop no one knows
So tonight the moon I go
Yellow moon on the rise

An echo that rings a bullet unchained
one life, one grave joins the parade

At night the sky grows dark with fallen stars
who comes so far a headstone and grave
the colors turns grey, the black and white fades

Yellow Moon on the rise
Yellow Moon on the rise

Yellow Moon on the rise
Yellow Moon on the rise

All the thoughts you never see
You are always thinking
Brain is wide, the brain is deep
Oh, are you sinking?

Feel the path of every day
Which road you taking?
Breathing hard, making hay
Yeah, this is living

Look for love in evidence
That you're worth keeping
Swallowed whole in negatives
It's so sad and sickening

Feel the air up above
Oh, pool of blue sky
Fill the air up with love
All black with starlight

Feel the sky blanket you
With gems and rhinestones!!!
See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on

For you to walk on...

Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing left...
Nothing left, nothing left
Nothing there, nothing here...

See the path cut by the moon
For you to walk on
See the waves on distant shores
Awaiting your arrival

Dream the dreams of other men
You'll be no one's rival
Dream the dreams of others then
You will be no one's rival

You will be no one's rival...

A distant time, a distant space
That's where we're living
A distant time, a distant place
So what ya giving?
What ya giving?

Infallible

Kanske till och med köra flera låtar om dagen denna sista veckan...? :-) Jag kan nämligen inte bestämma mig för vilka låtar som måste väljas bort...

Keep on locking your doors
Keep on building your floors
Keep on just as before

Pay disasters no mind
Didn't get you this time
No friends left at the crime

Our ship's come in and it's sinking
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible
Oh we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin here at the ending

Want a third second chance
Put your faith in big hands
Pay no more than a glance

All good things come to an end
This could be good as it gets
How's the view from the fence

You think we've been here before
You are mistaken

Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man

When progress could be plausible
In the verse we curse ourselves
By thinking we're infallible
Oh we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin here at the ending

Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man

Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible
Oh we are tempting fate instead

Time we best begin here at the ending
Here at the ending
Keep on locking your doors
Keep on building your floors
Keep on just as before
