Not for You and how it changes
I love how Ed makes this song a true reflection of his life, for I have heard him sing it live 4 different ways now: "See my table it seats just 2" "See my table it seats just 1" "See my table it seats just 3" "See my table it seats just 4"

"Are you woman enough to be my man?"
Ive always thought the most powerful part of Hail,Hail was Sometimes realize, I could only be as good as you'll let me Are you woman enough to be my man? Bandaged hand in hand But for some reason that middle line has always puzzled me . . . Anyone have any insight as to its meaning?

KWS-"While we Cry" vs "Yellow Ledbetter...WTF!?!?
I'd like to know why Kenny Wayne Shepperd's "While we cry" sounds just like "Yellow Ledbetter" but no lyrics? The album it's on is Called Ledbetter Heights?? Is this a coincidence? Never the less... Both songs KICK ASS!! We all know KWS plays like a God... And our favorite Mr. McCready like wise... Just curious if anyone…

What songs do you like better live?
I have never really been a fan of "Do the Evolution", but hearing it live last month, I like it a lot better. I still find myself skipping the album version, but listening to the live version. What songs do you like better live than on the album?

"Room service Tray" - musical gift for E.V.
Hi! In 1997, SPIN released and article about PJ. In the end of the article, Eddie Vedder mentions he'd been working on a new song. But the song (as far as we know) was never released. You can read it here: http://www.fivehorizons.com/archive/art ... 0297.shtml We're a band from Brazil, and we've come up with some songs as…

Hard to Imagine
I have my own interpretation for this song, but I think it could be seen many different ways. What is your interpretation of these lyrics?---Hard To Imagine Paint a picture visions only grey Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames. I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long. It's hard to imagine. It's hard…

Alive has sexual mother/son undertones?
I was checking out the wikipedia entry on PJ and it discusses the song Alive as being a semi autobiographical song about Ed's life... involving a mother who makes sexual advances on her son, who resembles the deceased father. Anybody think there is legitimacy to this? I always kinda thought it seemed to imply a bit of…

Satan's Bed Meaning?
Could Satan's bed really be about the core of what PJ stand for? I feel it's about the music industry and how you can take an easy route and sell out with "easy/crap" songs. The description of how you make a band by getting "some flesh to stick so they look like us" - style over content ideas. Plus the whole Bill Hicks…

Who's truly felt the essence of 'In Hiding'?
I am so in love with this song. I am truly in awe of how Ed can convey such a powerful story with such few words....and be so dead on. Give it up for the power of In Hiding! *cheers and claps vigorously*

Save It For Later Betterman
The studio version of Betterman from the early vinyl release on November 22, 1994 and even a few days before that on radio helped push Pearl Jam even further into the hearts and minds of the public. However it is a double edged sword. Some love them for their hard-punk-fast-rockin jams and others for their mid-tempo or…

+++ Cant Keep +++
(( this is a LONG OVERDUE thread and I do apologize for the delay Can't Keep)) I love Can't Keep. It seriously is a song that takes you places. The way Ed draws out the chorus..."Can't keeeeeeeep me heeeeeeeere", really fuckin gets to me! Just they way he sings that it's like he's taken us away from where ever it is that…
