Is that because you have a black heart and ice running through your veins?

I used to hate it. I don't anymore, but it'll never be a favorite of mine.

I think Stone wrote the music and Ed wrote the words

I don't have the liner notes in front of me. But Wikipedia credits only Gossard for the song. Whatever. I was just gonna say I love the style of the song so much because it's Stone's aesthetic.

a good question to ask yourself is "are there wave references?" if so, it is Ed.

Note: "all lyrics by Vedder, except where noted". Stone is only credited in the music column.

I like these lyrics. They go well with the song.

I hope to say this again and again. And I have absolutely no problem with Parachutes being the pinnacle of PRAMG.

Parachutes is a thing of beauty.

What the HELL!!!???!!

PARACHUTES
-That stupid umbrella toteing my pony bumble bobbling sparkly giltterly shooting-star lovey-dove brown rotton cotton candy piece of fluffy turn muffin song. "parachutes"


I get this mental image of the penguin (Burgess Meredith) smoking a cigarette holding his umbrella as a parachute floating down through a nite sky to the earth slowly- when his umbrella suddenly turns inside out and he busts his ass thanks to a well aimed Batarang.


To quote Q (ST: TNG) "You obtuse piece of flotsam!"


vs. SEVERED HAND

The mighty blood soaked sword that is "severed hand"! Awesome riffs charge up over and over and butt up against each other in a fun happy angry rocker- perfect for the SG duck walk head bob, punctuated a blow your old front left car speakers out ear piercing, spine tingling, Mike McCready (brown and tan?) guitar solo organ squeel! So loud it hurts your spine. So enjoyable.

The song that my buddy (codenamed "StoneyG") called, back in 2005, "Porch 2: Recycled Riffs"

Seriously, Severed Hand is a very enjoyable raw rockin song. Parachutes plods and sings about some love bullshit stuff "What a different life I would have If I hadn't found this love with you" (or something to that effect is the line that punctuated the awfulness of this song. In this bear's opinion. Really out of place right in the middle of the avocado- cruising along at warp 5 to 1/4 impulse power in 0.02 seconds thanks to Parachutes.

From now on nobody is allowed to vote for Parachutes.
