Send "Long Nights" Ringtone to Cell


Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before

I've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall

Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...

I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know

I've got this light
And the will to show
I will always be better than before

Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground

    General Comment:Incredibly powerful song. I cry when i hear it. Not sure if it would have such an impact if i hadn't seen "Into the Wild"--i saw the movie first, so the song will always have the association with Alexander Supertramp (but it might--Eddie's voice, the speed, the eerie chords...).

    General Comment:It's best described as the feeling you get on a long night, I guess.

    General Comment:this song really shows off eddies voice and how flexible he can be with it. but the music and his voice make it sound kinda eerie and its a perfect to go along with the theme of the movie. it gives me chills!!! i love it!

    General Comment:I think this song is about the fact that when you are alone, it does make a lot of things easier. It allows you to forget the past *because you don't have people reminding you of the past*.

    General Comment:I love this song, fits the (also great) movie perfectly!!! My fav song on the album...
    "Finding yourself" is all it's really about, not much more to say....
