never thought it would happen but this song just kicked my ass.
had the i-pod on shuffle..was typing a letter. didn't really notice until the song was over. had to replay it. i've been skipping this song for years. just fell in love with it
was kind of a subliminal happening. i'm happy.

that leaves like 5 songs i'm waiting on..

    I always sort of liked it, but then heard it live in San Diego and now I really love it. It's a cool sounding song.

    No kidding..Always kinda liked it but live in San Diego totally changed my perspective on this song, in a very good way.

    I've always loved this song and I was a little disappointed to see that it was on Vancouver's set list and not played.

    I did not pay attention to the song untill they played it at Camden II 2006 during the accustic encore. What a great song, then I had the pleasure again in Philly. Iisten to the song and soak it all in.

    how funny...I'm the same as a couple of the other posting folks. Always enjoyed the song, but it never really 'hit' me till San Diego. Now it's a big favorite. Not sure what it was about that version, but it was just perfect, mis-lyrics and all.

    guess that's what is so great about this band. they can still win you over live. even with songs i already enjoy..like release. it's on a whole new level after seeing it live

    I understand what you're saying "Ties em off". I really don't care much for Parachutes and always skip it. I want to like, but just don't yet.

    I felt this way about most of my favorites at first too though so we'll see. I'm curious though, what are your other 5 songs that have yet to grow on you?

    I love how different it is from other PJ tunes. There's nothing else like it in their discography.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    alright let me think.

    big wave..don't think it will happen
    evacuation. it's close
    then the songs like sweet lew, black red yellow and whale song. although jeff killed sweet lew in philly. still don't care for it though
    think that's it.

    I had this same experience, but with the whole Avocado album. I used to think it sucked, but one day it just blew my mind. The great thing was that it was like getting a brand new Pearl Jam album when there was no album being released.
