"ITW" during my Mom's funeral. Thank you, EV..
My mom died on the 28 oct 2009. She was only 58. Her favorite record of all time was "Into The Wild" by EV. I am Pearl Jam fan since the beginning of the band, however it was my brother and my Dad's idea to play her favorite CD during the service. This music has never had so much meaning to me before.. Thank you, Eddie, on…

The meaning of Speed of Sound
sorry if this was a post before, i'm too lazy to check...i just want to share what i think the meaning of Speed of Sound is i think it's about someone who is off fighting in a war and waiting for his/her time to go back home. It's moving so slowly and he just wants it to come quickly and that he goes back home alive ("and…

Grievance
So in heavy anticipation of Philly this week (and sadly only able to attend one show - the 30th), I've been pulling out some of the old CD's and spinning them (more than is probably appropriate, actually). This weekend, Binaural got a few turns and Grievance is the song that got me thinking and screaming the most. And then…

Force of Nature lyrics
"Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole" This is pretty much the only mention of the female in this song. Could "wonderland" be whats pulling the woman away from the man? Meaning- is wonderland the "grass is always greener" kinda thing?

Which songs do you always skip?
As great as Pearl Jam are, I'm sure that everyone has a few tracks that they think are pretty awful. I've given each in turn it's fair chance but they just don't work for me. Thought it would be interesting to see different opinions. Anyway, here's mine: Mankind Gorified G Hey Foxymop... Leash Indifference Garden

Ed's vocals
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that Ed's vocals on Backspacer and Into the Wild seem a lot more expressive compared to say binaural and riot act.

Do Eddie Vedder's new songs have deeper meaning?
The album is unbelievable and the songs very deep. But I've come to notice that many are related to death or sickness and being just a human being underneath everything. So my question is, do you think Eddie is going through some kind of sickness or someone close to him is? or is Eddie and Pearl Jam just this damn amazing…

"I shit and I stink, I'm real join the club!"
I heard this today for the first time in a few years and I love how raw, down and dirty Ed can be about stripping off your pretenses and just being human. I find it to be common thread through many of his songs particularly since I think he dealt with his 'fame' issues in a lot of his songs and in a lot of ways tried to…

MFC
Yippee! Time for a road trip! If I had a car I would go, sure, but for now it's all in my head. I'm driving really fast down scenic highways in New England, in a forest green jaguar, a mocha in the cup holder, and PJ on the CD player. SWOOSH, VROOM, ZOOM- - =

Thumbing MY Way....
Sorry for the ramblings, but I feel I have to tell this story as well. I'm feeling so much love for PJ right now! Late 2002 my Grandmother passed away. She was 96, she she'd had one hell of a ride. Nan was my rock though. While my Mum tried to bring up three sons by herself (which wasn't hard enough for her so she had a…

Anyone feel like we r a unique group that can't be classifid
Those that LOVE PJ, there is never a discussion, but those that I know of that don't get it, I feel like I have to explain the creation of the universe. Why? IDK but that's what I feel ends up happening. PJ saved me in SOOO many ways when I was growing up that I JUST CAN NOT EXPLAIN. If there was to be a movie of my life,…

Where The Wild Things Are
One of the greatest kids book ever has been made into a live movie directed by Spike Jones opening 10/11. Today while running I hit repeat for Unthought Known like 5 times and realized what a great soundtrack song this would have made. Feel the sky blanket you,... w/gems & rhinestones,... See the path cut by the moon,...…

Cheap Trick Vibe!!!
I think the song...Gonna See My Friend , has a Cheap Trick vibe to it...I could definately hear Robin singing it. Maybe Jeff's checkboard guitar has something to do with it!! What are your thoughts...

who is save you about?
Here are possible candidates i think it's about: layne staley: drug problem chris cornell: alcohol and depression problem mike mccready: maybe alcohol, but he's been clean for a while and i think 'habit' was more about mike johnny ramone: bein a republican yet bein eddie's buddy ANYBODY HAVE THEORIES, I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM!

Riot Act - Title
Story book keeps from hurting me....read your children the riot act or the NIV. This is the hardest song on the album for me. It's terrifying. Jeff I know little about I'm ashamed to say - always blinded by Ed's light. Can somebody tell me what was said about the meaning of NAIS at the time please. That song helped me a…

Sad and Hard to Imagine
OK, I just really "discovered" the greatness that is SAD. the lyrics that really caught my attention - he lit a match, he laid in bed hoping their dreams will bring her back, it's sad and his loneliness is cruel, it's sad he could only love you, it's sad holding his last breath, believing he'll make his way if she's not…
