Hey I seen a post earlier that evenflow was about a homeless man. Just wondering if anyone has an idea or list of what each Pearl jam song is actually about? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
JB

    Good Luck.

    Seems the writer(s) responible seems to leave meanings a little vauge on purpose. Something about drawing the listener in and allowing them to decide for themselves.

    You can check here for many Pearl Jam song meanings - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pearl_Jam_songs

    There's quotes from the actual band members.
    Can't escape from the common rule...

    if you suggest particular ones im sure people here will help you, but a broad explanation of their catalogue is far too much for anyone to post.

    anyways, many band members have commented on songs theyve written, the liner notes of Lost Dogs explain quite a bit too. and some songs are plain obvious what they are about. im sure there are some songs that have not been explained, but thats the beauty of art.

    dissident was ruined for me a little bit when i heard what it was about. personal interpretation can be a great thing
