When you are in tough tough times, which pearl jam song(s) makes you feel better?
For me :) It is Present Tense or Force Of Nature, Excluding the 2 obvious ones : Alive and Release Me

And to all fans, HAVE A GREAT WEEK :D

    all of them!
    but Present Tense got me thru a very tough period in my life and I am forever grateful for it (among other things).

    Present Tense got me through the loss of my father...when they played it at MSG 08 I i was literally in a trans.

    after break ups, Black is played a lot,

    when i just can't fall asleep i turn on All Those Yesterdays...i usually use it when i'm restless at night due to something like a break up...

    Different ones for different times, I guess.

    Although at the moment when Force of Nature comes on I have to do a little dance.

    I really don't listen to music to get me through any tough times at all if anything music makes me really sad when i'm bummed out i'd rather go for a walk thru the forest or beach or watch some sports ...

    Amongst The Waves has to be one of the most uplifting PJ songs ever.
    Also in a weird way, I Got Id also makes me feel better. I've been living the lyrics to the song for quite a long time already!

    i don't know why, but whenever a sentimental mood strikes me, i get a song stuck in my head and i listen to that song on repeat, then i tend to pick up my guitar and try to play it...that's how i mostly learn my songs...anywho that's usually how i get through a sentimental mood.

    That is a good question...
    There are so many for different reasons...
    Alive has always been an extremely powerful song for me. Since I have some deceased family members the song makes me feel as if I'm living for a purpose or maybe even for them since they can't do it on their own? Does that make sense?

    Also, Indifference makes me feel that things can't be as bad as they seem....

    Oh,and Porch makes me feel as if I can walk through a fuckin brick wall!

    Got Some for sure makes me feel good
    but Indifference is from a time in my life of utter hopelessness- 93- when I just did not want to be here anymore-
    its good to remember that so when I hear that song now
    it makes me realize how much better I am and my life is
    really glad I stuck around.

    Different times, different reasons:

    RVM -- for when dealing with my kid's issues and the know-nothings who try to "help" drags me down

    Down -- when I'm down, LOL

    In My Tree -- Can't even describe that mood

    Given to Fly -- again, dealing with my kid's issues and worrying about his future

    Unthought Known -- for the same reasons that the rest of you who love it, love it
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I'd go with World wide suicide. It's a great wake-up and go song. Gets me pumped up. Rockin' in the Free World is a great song for when I'm feeling low. It just gets me pumped up again right away. :D
