A whisper through a megaphone...

Listening to Pearl Jam Live at Benaroya Hall Oct.22 2003

Aaah, new Pearl Jam record to listen to... this is an acoustic benefit show they did in October 2003 (proceeds went to YouthCare in the U.S). This is fantastic.. it's played in a theatre and the acoustics really suit the stripped-back acoustic sounds.
I'd like to share some lyrics with you from the Pearl Jam song, Man Of The Hour (from Tim Burton's Big Fish soundtrack)

Man Of The Hour

tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
crash, then on their way
father, he enjoyed collisions
others walked away
the snowflake falls in may
and the doors are open now
as the bells are ringing out
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
nature has its own religion
gospel from the land
father ruled by long division
young men, they pretend
old men comprehend
and the sky breaks at dawn
shedding light upon this town
we all come 'round
cuz the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
goodbye for now
and the road, the old men paved
the broken seams along the way
the rusted signs, they're just for me
he was guiding me, love, his own way
now the man of the hour
has taken his final bow
as the curtain comes down
i feel that this is just
goodbye for now
