3rd song in my series of Pearl Jam songs. Come back.

to finish the lyric:


And every night when Im waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I can swear that you're next to me
And its okayyyyyy


Quite possibly the bluesiest song form them. It has a 1960's blues sound to it.

    I love this song.
    It makes me want to cry. Always.

    When ed gets into the "I'll be heeeeeere" part, with Mike wailing behind him, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time.

    I'm dreading the day when I can relate to it so closely that I don't want to listen to it anymore. Ed has captured a very, very real emotion there in these lyrics. Among the best he's ever written.

    Although my vote for "bluesiest" Pearl Jam song will always go to Ledbetter .... which sounds as if it were actually a Stevie Ray cover.

    thats my favorite part. the way his voice sounds, yearning for the one person he can't have right now... it's such a heartbreaking song :(

    and the part you mentioned, "i'll be here.. come back" it's making me tear up just thinking about it :( the way he wails in such gut wrenching pain, the one thing in the world he needs and he cant have it, and he'll still wait as long as his life allows him... how can you not be moved even a little by this song? i've never been in love and i can still feel the emotion

    And the days, they linger on
    And every night, what I'm waiting for
    Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream



    And sometimes you're there
    And you're talking back to me
    Come the morning I could swear you're next to me



    love you bro
    PLAY THE GORGE IN 08 YOU PUSSIES

    On the dry and dusty road
    The nights we spent apart alone
    I need to get back home
    To cool cool rain


    LONG LIVE THE WHO! BE DEAD OR ALIVE

    i'll ride the wave where it take me, i'll hold the pain release meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Great song.

    However I think that Smile is a touch more "Bluesy"
