"Sirens" is a song by the American rock band Pearl Jam. It was released on September 18, 2013 as a digital download as the second single from their tenth studio album Lightning Bolt.[1][2] In its first week of release, the single sold 13,000 downloads in the United States.[3] Guitarist Mike McCready said the song was inspired by Roger Waters's The Wall Live Tour, when after attending a concert in 2011, he "wanted to write something that would have a Pink Floyd type feel".[4] The lyrics by singer Eddie Vedder concern his worries on mortality and what the future holds for the next generation.[5][6]
