Pure perfection!!! I am wondering out there if this song is as important to you as it is to me....
Conversations getting dull
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......

I absolutely love this song, one of my favs if you can't already tell from my board name. The lyrics are so touching and the music is just gorgeous.

I love this song, it totally reminds me of one of my friends growing up who has a restless spirit, I think of him almost everytime I hear the song.

I love the song. Reminds me of myself sometimes.

quite a few lines i love in this song..

And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned!
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned

the way eddie sings those are just awesome.
Binaural is the best album. 2000 is the best tour ever. Bring back the Ayotte!

current favourite pj song

"He's been taken... where? I don't know... off he goes
With his perfectly... unkept hope... there he goes..."
I don't want to be the fool that's behind me but I am...

I'll Hold The Pain... Release...

Funny story. Ive always been a PJ fan but about a year 2 years ago I took singing lessons because I wanted to sing a song at my wedding. At time my PJ warmth had cooled because Id heard so much I was listening to other music. Anyway I wanted to learn Seethers version of Immortality. My teacher at the time was helping another student learn how to sing Off He Goes. Id never really paid attention the lyrics until he showed them to me. I was shocked how good they were (Off he goes). “Perfectly unkempt cloths”. Stuff like that

But its kind of funny I learned Seethers version…which is basically the same
