I'm So Thankful
I am a fan of Pearl Jam. I have been listening to them since 1991 and have been hooked since seeing them live in Mesa, AZ in 1993. If you know me, you would know that I have a hard time even nominating a type a food as a favorite. So for my soul to choose something and be a fan of it for all these years is mind blowing! I…

She Dreams in Red
So, let's open this up again. What do you remember as the meaning of this line was said to be? This chick, who blogs on examiner.com blubbered something about the above mentioned line referring to "colorful dreams of passion" which is completely ridiculuous to me. I've never heard that before. As far as I remember, this…

Happy Lyrics
Does Pearl Jam even have any?! hah kinda sad when you look at your music realizing every last one of your songs is depressing, even if it has an upbeat tempo...

Re: Present Tense...
From a comment posted on songmeanings.net... "I heard that Eddie was having trouble writing lyrics for this one and basically built up from the initials of his hero; Pete Townsende. Taking P and T and then building a whole song around the name Present Tense. This might not be true, I can't remember where i heard it, but if…

Not For You..
Damn I love this song! Do you all think it is about him and the media invading his art? It is so angry I love it, a nice way of saying F off!

all five horizons
Black has gotta be about my favorite song in the Pearl Jam catalog, but I can't seem to figure out what the "five horizons" are? Can someone enlighten me?

Binaural - Writer's Block
I always forget about this track and then I'll be listening to Binaural and the album ends and for a minute or so it'll be quiet real quiet in my apartment and then all of a sudden I'll think I'm under attack and wonder where the heck that sound is coming from and then I calm down and realize that it's just Writer's Block…

lays dormant------THEN ATTACKS!
This happens often.... What current Pearl Jam song has for you always been "ahh, so-so", and then all of a sudden it jumps up and bites your face off. Well, that's a little overboard, but you get the picture... The current for me is "1/2 Full" from Riot Act. I always thought the song was "good", but just today, I realized…

Down
One of my favourite songs. Love the lyrics, I find them uplifting.

Legal Papers
I was listening to my Benaroya Hall performance the other day and started laughing my ass off... I was reminded of what Eddie said.... Ed was saying (not verbatim) something to the affect that..... right before they play I believe in miracles... "This guy came in a couple hours before we played and said hey is your name ed…

Is it realized.......
I would first like to introduce myself, for I am new to this place. My name is Amy, I wish all of you, the best and peace. If given only one chance to express my feelings about this group, I suppose it would be, to wonder, if they really know, if they realize, the impact they have. On the people they have touched with…

Posed to endure . . .
"Posed to endure what I could not forgive." I hate the truth in that line. As long as I hang on to the anger, it hurts me so much more than the other person. It forces me to endure the situation and the raw pain associated with it over and over again. How can one person write words and phrases that so deeply touch my soul?…

Dirty Frank
I still laugh when I hear this song, even though it's kindof gross. I still think it's genius, you know. :D

what does the song...
Garden mean? Discuss.

Sleight of Hand
There are moments when i listen to Pearl Jam where i analyse something in a song, which springs me from my seat because i feel i finnaly cracked what Ed was saying. Listning to sleight of hand the other day, on a few cones of some really strong stuff the meaning of some of the lines in this song became much clearer. I…

Get right is awesome

The Meaning Of "Alive"
As many of you, I'm sure all of you love "Alive" and it's such a great kick ass rock song with Mike's sick ass riff! It's a hell of an awesome song and listening to the song, I always interpreted as being a positive message, like Eddie finding out about his biological father's death and finding out about his step-father…

YL an anti-war song??
Found this in Wikipedia (I know, I know----you take that site with a grain of salt) BUT I thought this was interesting about YL and thought others might not have heard this either: The song title "Yellow Ledbetter" is derived from the actual name of an old friend of Vedder from Chicago, named Tim Ledbetter.[2] The lyrics…

a hippie Pearl Jam song?
my best friend is a vegetarian and has a whole new outlook on life saying she wants to be optimistic, and somehow she's doing it and shes feeling all inspired by Bob Dylan and such and I just really wanna send her a Pearl Jam song, just can't think of a good one to fit her. Any ideas?

Ten: Each song and how it is connected to my life
Just as a little side note, I'm sixteen and mom influenced my becoming a PJ fanatic. Ten: 1) Once - I have virtually no control over my actions (ADHD) 2) Even Flow - Karma, simply said, what goes around comes around. 3) Alive - When Vedder wrote this, I believe, he had in his mind at the beginning the fact that he lost his…

Alive and incest?
Direct quotes from Eddie, circa 1992 state: "It's about incest; and it's about murder; and you know all those good things. And if you can picture it in your mind, the third song takes place in a jail cell. So this is our own little mini-opera here." --EV, 6/18/92 (http://www.fivehorizons.com/songs/dec99/index.shtml)…

corduroy
before any big event in my life . . . i have to listen to corduroy. whether it was a final in college, a job interview, or getting ready for my wedding, i have to hear that slow build up capped off with "the waiting drove me mad, you're finally here and i'm a mess . . ." for me, that song is all about stepping up to the…
