Real Rock Rock Reel

[Laura]

a/n: I had a blast at the Pearl Jam show last night. I tried to put my emotions into words but again, it's nearly impossible after witnessing such pure brilliance and perfection.

Real Rock Rock Reel (Your Music is a Movie in Motion)

this is when time disappears
moments are captured
and memories are made
every thought I once had
wastes away...

but life -
. . . it's just beginning now.

I can't see you in the dark light
but I can hear your voice
eating through a speaker with your
. . . more than stunning words
it nestles in my ear drum
and I sing along

you scream out in perfect tone
at perfect timing
in the perfect place
"come back"
and once you're gone -
. . . that will be all I speak of

and I seeked shelter on your porch
standing like a statue
moving to a rhythm
just thriving to get splashed down

but -

I didn't get to taste your oceans
or your big wave
and though I was never touched
. . . with one ounce of your sweat
I was never dry
and glad to be saved.


pearl jam references
the two last lines of the first stanza and the second stanza is kind of pondering to "Life Wasted" ... because everything that doesn't matter is wasted but life, definitely is not. Does that make sense?
"Come Back" is a song off their new self-titled record and one of my favourites off it.
"Gone" is a song off their new self-titled album again.
"Porch" is a song off their debut Ten.
"Oceans" is a song off Ten.
"Big Wave" is a song off their new record.

It's, well, not as up to what you usually post, but I guess I can't blame you for that

"I didn't get to taste your oceans
or your big wave"

I like that.

"and memories are made
every thought I once had
wastes away..." Those lines had an unimagineable reality to them. I liked it, well put.

I didn't get to taste your oceans
or your big wave
and though I was never touched
. . . with one ounce of your sweat
I was never dry
and glad to be saved.

You ever read a poem and came to the last stanza and thought "wow that was a perfect ending"? that's exactly what I thought here. Sweetness! I miss ya Laura, wish you'd come back to us!
