Songs too sad to even listen to
The songs "Come Back" and "Parachutes" sometimes seem more sad than enjoyable that I can't even listen to them. ..the line about going to sleep for the "real possiblility I might see you in my dreams"...that is so sad! :cry:

Take Away the Music & Lyrics- Just the VOICE
It's been said and re-said but I feel the need to pay homage directly to the voice of Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder's voice stimulates a chord deep within; reaches depths nothing else has ever reached, in me. Often while listening to a song, his voice suddenly penetrates so sharply and clearly that is startles my senses for one…

a bad day...
Last week I had a day of days. Work, car, kids, school, money, the ex… Everything seemed to be working against me with the vigorous efficiency of a Black Flag album. I was ahead of the game though, planning my escape long before the smoke cleared and the minis were tucked in. Wine? Maybe. Movie? Maybe not. Vinyl? Without a…

I have never watched live at the showbox, have deliberatly left it ... It arrived today and it's…

Release - Jack?
Why in the second verse does Eddie sometimes sing Oh dear Jack or I think I have heard John once before as well. Here is an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbusoGxK ... AAAAAAABAA Great emotion in the second verse!

Single Video Theory
If you haven't already seen this Yield-era dvd documenting the band's creative process via rehearsal/recording sessions, you must check it out. (You Tube has it downloadable, in full.) It's cool to see the songs as works in progress, and to observe the band members bouncing ideas off of each other, working collectively.…

Need help finding PJ song lyrics
Trying to come up with a few lyrics for a new tattoo(or 2) :D Just heard it the other day and forgot already.... Something like......"I will keep taking punches until their will grows weak"?? Anyone?? Help....

Immortality
Just wondering if Eddie has ever done an acoustic version of this song at one of his solo shows. I was listening to the Benny version today, and marveling at the beauty of it. I think a version with just Ed and acoustic guitar would be absolutely breathtaking. :D

Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town....
What does this song make you think of or what does it mean to you personally? Ive heard so many different interpretations of it, so thought Id ask you guys, as it would be interesting to find out :D It makes me think of one of my aunties, who's had a little coffee shop in the same village in the same town in Brazil for…

quote to put on resume
I was thinking that I would like to have a quote about creativity on my resume, can anyone think of any PJ lyrics that would work well? It needs to be fairly short, hopefully inspirational and positive... I like the idea of having PJ in my resume since they're such an important part of my life, but I don't think a lot of…

Love Boat Captain
In the past this has been one of the "slow, depressing songs" that I skipped over. As I'm getting older, and wiser hopefully, I've mellowed a bunch and really gave this song a chance... How epic. This song is incredibly monumental to me, especially because I've been trying to focus on being positive and... Love. "It's…

Fans in DALLAS, TX?
I have lived here about 10 years and I have followed Pearl Jam since TEN (obviously 20 years)..I have traveled different states to see their concerts, enjoying amazing time with fans from all over USA. I just wanted to know if there is local fans to meet. Cheers!!!

Does anyone know why they don't play the song Just a Girl
According to Tenclub they only played it twice. And I think that if they did not played it at PJ20 in Alpine Valley, they’ll never played it again. I wonder why if it’s such a great song, one of the best in my opinion. I think it should have made it to Ten along with Breath!

Cover of Just Breathe I produced for a friend. Check it out!
Hey guys! I know I don't post here much, but as we all have in common PJ is a major part of my life and has been a huge inspiration for me. I am in school right now for audio engineering and hopefully one day I plan on being a producer. For a project, I had to record and mix a song for someone, and when I asked my friend…

Live versions of songs
I think it would be cool to have a collection of "best live versions" Post a video if you can! Here are a couple of my favourites based on what I've been listening to recently. Thumbing My Way - Benaroya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b8r4VOU52w All or none - The Vic 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ny2XqLutu4

Carrots, sticks, or Pearl Jam?
Music is a strong motivator, no doubt. Five times a week a take my PJ-loaded iPod to the gym and I'm invincible! Exercise can be a chore, but I actually look forward to workouts with my tunes in tow. Sunday's rotation: No Code and Riot Act. The changeup in tempos, the balance in all of Pearl Jam's albums keeps it…

Riot Act
What do you think the cover of Riot Act symbolizes? With the skeletons with the king/queen crowns?

...if you hate something
I love the line in Not For You that goes "if you hate something don't you do it too". What I am making a thread for is to discuss something I have been arguing with my cousin for a while. I think the sentence ends in a question mark (?) but he thinks it's a statement. Me: I think it's a meant to mean that everything we…

Feeling nostalgic on a Tuesday afternoon
...and wondering where all the time has gone! For all that MTV ever broadcast which made me cringe, I was always a fan of "Unplugged". This version of "Black" takes me back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcsYc6sAmys Seems like yesterday.

Does it get Amy better than.....
The first three songs from the Vitalogy album, I mean come on Last exit, Spin the black, and last but not least Not for you (my personal fav). I'm going to make a big call and say quite possibly the best opening to any album in the last 20 years or so..... I am hoping the new album is angry....ahhh an angry Eddie is an…

Songs for all ages....
I was driving home from my usual Friday night of dinner/hanging with my Memaw…yes I’m from the south so this would be my grandmother…when my son asked me to turn up the radio. This usually means turn it up so he can sing and 90% of the time it’s only him allowed to sing, but he wanted me to sing too. The cd playing was…

Light Years
Does anybody know a good version of Light Years. I was looking for a video that had Eddie talking about the meaning of the song. Kind of like the video from Pink Pop 1992...well basically I was looking for that video, but with out the fucks in it. So if anyone knows a video like that...

Pilates
Lately, the song, Pilate has really been catching my attention, especially the line, stunned by my own reflection, its looking back, sees me too clearly, never want to go there again. I get that line, but not really sure that I understand the rest of the song. Any ideas! :?

Lyric question- Release
Can someone tell me what the term 'windowsill' is meant to mean in this song. :? Cheers
