Pearl Jam: The Fixer Video and Lyrics

Update: Now that the video is out, this is too good not to share.  Enjoy…

A bit off topic from a typical post here, but we’re all about shedding a little light on darkness.  Like previous posts have said, whatever it may be you are seeking in your life, you can attain it.  Find the inspiration that works for you and take the action to reach it, or if it’s something you’ve lost “fight to get it back again.”  These lyrics are right in line with those ideas, so seemed worth sharing.

Click below to listen to “The Fixer,” the new single from Pearl Jam’s next album, “Backspacer.”  Also, our take on the lyrics are below.

When something’s dark let me shed a little light on it
When something’s cold let me put a little fire on it
If something’s old I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something’s gone I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

When something’s broke I wanna put a bit of fixin’ on it
When something’s bored I wanna put a little excited on it
If something’s low I wanna put a little high on it
When something’s lost I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

When signals cross I wanna put a little straight on it
If there’s no love I want to try to love again
I’ll say your prayers / I’ll take your side
I’ll burn as a way to make light
I’ll dig your grave / We’ll dance and sing
What’s saved could be one last lifetime
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
