Don't forget about this little gem on Riot Act. Like Inside Job, Immortality and Release this is among their best for songs that close an album.

    I love that song, but it nearly always makes me cry. It's sooooo good, helped me through love sick times a lot.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    I was listening to it today in fact, realised just how much I love it
    and I love the whole album too - took a while for me to really get into Riot Act but lately it's been one of my most played

    Definitely this is one good song for listening when you're alone. All or None is so fricking intense and deep.
    I love the Benaroya Hall version, but I think Mike messes up in the solo, am I right?

    It's interesting that you posted about this song-I was listening/rediscovering Riot Act today and found myself sitting in a parking lot realizing how powerful this song is. I'm going through a heartbreaking divorce right now, and I find that there are alot of songs (and most of Ed's new album) that really resonate with what is happening personally in my life.

    It's a great song and Ed captures the pain perfectly:

    It's a hopeless... situation
    And I'm starting to believe
    That this hopeless... situation
    Is what I'm trying to achieve

    But I try
    To run on
    Towards
    All or none,... all or none

    Here's the selfless confession
    Leading me back to war
    Can we help that,.. our destinations
    Are the ones we've been before

    I still try
    To run on
    Towards all
    Or none,... all or none

    To myself I... surrender
    To the one I'll never please

    I still try,.. to run on
    But I still try,.. to run on
    But it's
    All or none,... all or none.

    My sons godfather was just diagnosed with Lukemia. I sent this song to him because I felt it is what he is going through. It is a personal battle with himself and he is going strong right now. We are all hoping for the best for him knowing that he is going to get ALL!
