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

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...

Yellow Moon

Vackert. Hoppas att de spelar denna på konserten!
Bara spelad live 18 gånger sedan oktober 2013...

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Jeff Ament

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

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

Pendulum

En vanlig öppningslåt sedan Lightning Bolt släpptes. Spelad live 19 gånger sedan oktober 2013.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament

Can't know what's high
'Til you've been down so low
The future's bright,
Lit up with nowhere to go,
To and fro the pendulum throws

We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

Understand what we don't know
This might pass
This might last
This may grow
Easy come and easy go
Easy left me a long time ago

I'm in the fire but I'm still cold
Nothing works works for me anymore

Ah ah ah ah ah
To and fro the pendulum throws
To and fro the pendulum throws

To and fro
To and fro

Mind your manners

Andra låten på tionde, och senaste, studioalbumet Lightning Bolt. Denna låten kommer garanterat att spelas på konserten i sommar!
I texten blir organiserade religioner kritiserade för "so many of the things which have come out of those organizations– like the abuse of children and then its cover-up."
Låten är spelad live 34 gånger sedan juli 2013.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Mike McCready

I've got an unfortunate feelin'
I've been beaten down
I feel I don't believe
And now the truth is coming out
What they've taken is more than a vow
They've taken your innocence
And then they throw them on a burning fire

All along they're sayin'
Mind your manners

I caught myself believin'
That I needed God
And if it's hard for some
We sure could use it now

Try my patience
My patience tried
This world's no longer good enough
That makes me wanna cry

All along they're sayin'
Mind your manners
Silence save him

Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve a mystery
Right around the corner
Could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else

No longer sayin'
Mind your manners
Always burning

Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve a mystery
Right around the corner
Could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else

Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like it
Livin' Hell
Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like it
Livin' Hell
Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like it
Livin' Hell

Livin' Hell!

Intervjuer till Lightning Bolt

Ligthning Bolt är ett mycket hårdare och argare album än många av deras tidigare alster. Detta förklarar Eddie Vedder så här:

"If you're paying attention to what's going on in the planet,
I feel like I can find something to be angry about pretty quick"

Sirens

Låt nummer fyra från senaste albumet Lightning Bolt. Redan en favorit!
Låten är spelad live 27 gånger sedan oktober 2013, och kommer förmodligen att spelas på de flesta konserter det närmaste året. Lika bra att lära sig texten med en gång alltså ;-)

Hear the sirens
Hear the sirens

Hear the sirens
Hear the circus so profound

I hear the sirens
More & more in this here town

Let me catch my breath & breathe
And reach across the bed

Just to know we're safe
I am a grateful man

The slightest bit of light
And I can see you clear

Have you take your hand, and feel your breath
For fear this someday will be over

I pull you close, so much to lose
Knowing that nothing lasts forever

I didn't care, before you were here
I danced in laughter with the everafter

But all things change
Let this remain

Hear the sirens
Covering distance in the night

The sound echoing closer
Will they come for me next time?

For every choice mistake I've made
It's not my plan

To send you in the arms of
Another man

And if you choose to stay I'll wait
I'll understand

It's a fragile thing
This life we lead

If I think too much I can get over
Whelmed by the grace

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, true

I study your face
And the fear goes away

It's a fragile thing
This life we lead

If I think too much I can get over
Whelmed by the grace

By which we live our lives
With death over our shoulder

Want you to know
That should I go I always loved you
Held you high above, true

I study your face
And the fear goes away
The fear goes away
The fear goes away

Aah ah, oh oh
Aah ah, oh oh
