Two fires
I was in a rotten mood one day so I put "Ten" on. Oddly it put me in a good mood. It didn't increase my funk. So, since rottenness is fire stopped between the mind and heart, and Ten is music with fire, then it's as if two fires together neutralize each other. There's something said about that in Taming of The Shrew.

Bu$hleaguer interpretations please
Ive done a search and cant find a thread where people have commented on this song so if anyone has interpretations or ideas please comment. While the basic stance of the song is obvious, it has some great lines and metaphors in the lyrics. Im an english teacher and will be using Bushleaguer and some other political songs…

W.m.a.
He won the lottery... I can't believe this song has been played in it's entirety only a handful of times. It is such a great track. Whenever I hear it tagged on daughter I get all excited. I just wish the WHOLE song would get played. Oh well, people didn't think we would ever hear Dirty Frank live again either and look…

Glorified g
First of all one of their strongest songs. It´s a masterpiece! I heard that Eddie refused to play Glorified g after he found out that Dave A had bought a gun. Is this true? How come they started to play it again?

Dead Man
I love this song!! this song stops me in my tracks no matter where i am... its just so damn haunting, its hard to think when i hear this song...there is a calm in Eddie's voice and the creeping sounds of the guitar compliment the lyrics beautifully! to me, it speaks to the realization that we all have at some point that…

I Got Id
I had a revelation the other day while listening to I Got Shit. I always preferred the title I Got Shit, mainly because it's more fun to say than I Got Id. It was no mystery why the song title was censored, shit is one of those words you just can't say on the radio. It never occurred to me why they chose to call the song I…

Now im single and every song is reminding me!
Isnt it strange,when youre going through an emotional time (happy or sad) pretty much every song you hear (especially pearl jams) is relevant to that situation. I have just separated from my partner of five years, and on the day I was,of course, listening to pj, and I hear some lyrics" I know,life could be different if I…

Typewriter/Gunshots?
At the end of Binaural you can hear what sounds like a machine gun or a typewriter, but it sounds more like a silenced semi-automatic. I can come up with an explanation for the typewriter, but what if its is a gun? what does it mean? anything to do with riot act?

Who loves "Breath" !?!?
I haven't been here that long, so forgive me if this has been discussed before. But i've seen a lot of love for other songs, but no love for "Breath" yet!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! especially the part in the middle when it gets a bit heavier... Come. Here it comes. There it goes. When it comes. Where it goes. Where it comes.…

Wedding Song
My sister recently got married, and she is a Pearl Jam fanatic. She's the one who got me into Pearl Jam in the first place, so I am thankfl for that. But to get back to my point, she used Soldier of Love, from 07-03-03 in Mansfield as her last dance song. It was just so beautiful. Do you know anybody who's used any Pearl…

Gremmie out of control
There's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control! Still, it's a great song imo and I don't understand why I see so very few (if even 1) Gremmie-appreciation thread. Give it up for the gremmie. (btw, wtf is a gremmie?)

Last time a song made you happy
I just wrote on the thread "last time a song made you cry" and I figured we needed an opposite thread...because lifes like that! For me that would be Eels with "Mr E's beautiful blues": God damn right its a beautiful day..ahah! May sound strange but thats my funeral tune right there... :D p.s. Kushikushun means "Lets be…
