Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example - I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.

I think that although originally Release was a personal song its magic is in how universal the message and feeling of the song is. I certainly relate to it on a major level. Inside Job is definitely another one for me. Indifference too.

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
The song changes thru out the years.... but right now it's "Hold On"
nice!

It does really vary for me, but right now, as I am dealing with an at-times out-of-control teenage son, it is Love Boat Captain. The line "And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away" plays in my head a lot and helps me maintain my balance and perspective when dealing with him.
And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes
Which songs is like, "yeah, that's really about how I feel, about my life" ???
I think in my case it is Leash
Thanks for making this thread, really appreciate it!
Mine would have to be either Rearviewmirror, or MFC. Both songs talk about just driving off and getting out of and away from a bad situation. I mean right now I'm at a great and positive point in my life, but those songs have always hit home for me. Always liked listening to them whenever I was in a position where I just wanted to go somewhere far away so no one could bother me. I always loved listening to them when I would go off on a road trip during summer with my girlfriend and/or friends. Made me feel like I could take a break from some of the things in my life.
It's definitely evolved...Why Go, Daughter, Rearviewmirror, Betterman, Footsteps, Not for You, All or None, Parting Ways, Inside Job, Parachutes...
I really feel like PJ plays the soundtrack to my life...and the music has completely changed my life. It came along at the exact time that I needed to feel some kind of understanding, some kind of connection, like somebody got it and it gave me hope at a time when nothing and no one else did...and it grew from there. I honestly have no idea what route my life would have taken if I didn't have these songs to help get me through.
"What a different life had I not found this love with you"
"I need your strength for me to be strong...I need your love to feel loved"

:thumbup: It's smething along that for me too.
I felt a strong connection to Rearviewmirror, All or none, Breath and the like in the past, now it's there with songs like You Are
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

our lives seem to have taken somewhat similar paths
And when I'm at a show all my senses are completely lit up. It's the one time I feel completely at peace, completely alive, completely full of life and energy. I always go to shows completely sober and feel so incredibly high (or what I imagine it to be like to be high :oops: ) I love other music and enjoy going to other shows, but it's just on a whole different level. I tell Tim I dread the day PJ stops making music and stops touring all together. It will be like mourning a death. I try not to think of it because...ONLY 3 WEEKS UNTIL CHICAGO!!!!

I Got Id, Nothing As It Seems; the live version of Arc.. for so many reasons, from the Who to Roskilde; Around the Bend kills me inside every time I hear it; Of the GIrl... that's so close to my hear.. just as release is.. but it really just gets the inside of who I am... and then, of course...sitting with a wheelchair.. I'm in HIding....
but Long Road and just about any song that takes me away in my head..
I did get a ticket-- the only speeding ticket in my life... listening to Dirty Frank. In the land of Enchantment- New MExico.
When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
"when something's gone ...
"when something's lost, I want to fight to get it back again"
"If there's no love, I want to try to love again"
I've been a Pearl Jam fan since I was 13 and first heard Ament's opening to Jeremy on the radio. To this day, Pearl Jam continues to inspire and challenge me to not just be better, but to be great.

I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
for the least they could possibly do
"when something's gone ...
"when something's lost, I want to fight to get it back again"
"If there's no love, I want to try to love again"
