Oh my god! brokenarrow is actually going to ask a serious question!/images/shocked.gif!

Yfke was nice enough to lead me to a tune on Napster titled 'Broken Arrow' by Eddie Vedder.
Ok, so I went through the whole rigamarol and actually downloaded Napster succesfully....
(after downloading the current 8.5 Beta version or whatever the hell it's called, only to have it not work....found their forum....read that I needed to uninstall it and download the 7 Beta version or whatever the hell it's called.....
and I don't know how many hours later.....
Have the tune!..............................
.......................................
..........whew.............................

ok, so here's the question.../images/smile.gif/images/laugh.gif

It's not Neil Young or The Bands version of Broken Arrow....as a matter of fact, I don't think the words broken arrow are even in the tune..of course it's not always easy to understand what ed's singing!
crowd: "what broken? gasp**~~~ shock~~* Ed? No...we ALWAYS know what he's sayin'!!!!!!!"
/images/laugh.gif/images/laugh.gif/images/laugh.gif

It starts off...
"I am yours, but I will fight...
I am yours, ????????????
crossroads, in my way?
lead me to my ??????????????????

anyway...the word 'crosswords' seems to be part of the refrain or chorus...
sounds kind of U2-ish.......there are even synthesizers in it...
It was definately recorded in the studio...

anyone know what this song is?
It's quite nice!! Has an 80's feel to it.../images/smile.gif

Hi...that song is called 'Crossroads' and its from Bad Radio...here's the full lyrics :

I am young, but I will fight
I am young, oh, yet I refuse

Crossroads
This is my language
Leave me to my own

I've said
(away, away, away) (x2)

I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away
(away, away, away)

I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away
Oh, sing it, sing it
Crossroads
This is my language
They lead me to my own

(away, away, away)

Oh, I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away, yeah
I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away
Please, please, please
Crossroads
This is my language
Oooh, lead me to my own
I say

Whiteeman stand
Top of a mountain
Wearing emotions
That I'll never wear

I'm gonna post this on Synergy aswell to clear up the confusion!

Thank You so very much Seany....

I'd never heard it before, and someone has titled it 'Broken Arrow' on Napster????
why, I don't know...

is there any way to clear it up on Napster also? I'm a novice at this type of stuff, but the title should be changed over there as well!/images/laugh.gif/images/laugh.gif

I had a feeling they had never covered that song..../images/wink.gif/images/wink.gif/images/wink.gif

Many Thanks!
