Farin Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I promised to nominate a song by a certain band when I make my comeback and I'm very willing to keep that promise Also, I would like to dedicate it, not to a particular person, but to about half of the regular crowd in the Songfacts forum In Hiding ~ Pearl Jam (1998) [spoilerq:1]Lyrics[/spoilerq] [spoilera:1]I shut and locked the front door No way in or out I turned and walked the hallway And pulled the curtains down I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around But nothing's sound, nothing's sound I'd stay but my last tab left me Ignored all my rounds Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls They were upside down I swallow my words to keep from lying I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I.. I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing I'm in hiding I'm in hiding I'm in hiding I'm in hiding It's been about three days now Since I've been aground No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now It's funny when things change so much It's all state of mind I swallowed my words to keep from lying I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I... I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened Now I'm in hiding I'm in hiding I'm in hiding I'm in hiding ...[/spoilera] ....................................... and the second is a, imho, great Rock song - without guitar! ( ) My Doorbell ~ The White Stripes (2005) if anyone wants to make me a "Welcome Back" present: the best thing you could do for me is listen to the songs thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 A couple renoms: Mr. Soul -- Buffalo Springfield .. the recorded version collides with incompatible 'live' video clips. Bummer. White Wedding -- Billy Idol .. in this case, the Final Fantasy overcoat seems to play better than Billy's original video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
