Pearl jams music makes people feel whole.

JaqRoy

in my opinion whenever i hear one of pearl jams songs, i feel like life makes sense. Thats how much i love them. To tell the truth, i never knew who they were until about 1 year ago, and i have liked them recently more than ever. like eddie said in one of his interviews " a song is like a wave it all needs to flow together to make sense to flow smoothly and last" hes so smart.

CityMouse

it DOES make one feel whole. good observation.

Once on some stupid vh1 thing billy corgan said
"there's freedom in pearl jam's music"

that too .

i have to completely agree with the idea that their music completes my soul- without it, I wouldn't necessarily be nothing, but I certainly wouldn't be the cool cat that I am.
On another note, I constantly have their songs stuck in my head too- it's really funny because every morning I wake up with a new one and sometimes two at once... I know... how could that be possible? Trust me- it is LOL
When it's not the jam stuck in my head, it's mother love bone

lol- yeah, i tend to think i'm a cool cat and maybe a couple of peeps around here would agree (ahem larmen & lukinfan HAHA) just joking
Nah- I used to be heavy into being a 10c member, had a bunch of pj vinyls, loads of super rare stuff and remember staying up until the break of dawn recording monkeywrench radio (hence my nick on myspace)... but i have since had 3 kiddos and therefore absolutely no cash whatsoever... i however pay my dues by collecting 1000's of photos, creating sites dedicated to them (which are under reconstruction at the moment), and speaking wonderful words of them for hours upon end

so what was it about them that hooked you to begin with? particular song? moment? sorry if you wrote that already and i missed it.

I would have to say that what got me hooked was the song yellow ledbetter, when i borrowed the rearviewmirror greatest hits cd from my dads girlfriend, i listened to it once and everything hit me like a bomb. I kept listening to more songs and more songs, and then i got hooked. I just constantly talk about how interesting they are and how good pearl jam was at rock honors. Nobody seems to understand, i dont have any friends that love pearl jam as much as me, but i can only wish. See im in high school and nobody understands the true meening of music, which is representing feelings, and making peace of mind in a tune that everyone can enjoy. I started buying cd after cd and i just couldnt stop, my first cd i bought was vs. which is okay, but i like rearview mirror best.

Don't feel too awful bad- you are like us, a rare yet amazing breed. A true treat to those who are priviledged enough to know us.
I was the so-called "freak" in high school for being the *gasp* pearl jam fan... yet i wore them proudly. You're right- people just don't understand... and you know what's sad? After being a hardcore fan for over 15 years now, I still to this day have never met another pearl jam fan in real life. No- I haven't been to a show just yet. Been too damn busy raising my family (not that it's a bad thing) but my hubby just doesn't understand. He's an old school Dead Head and when pj played the Asheville Civic Center in 2004, which was 10 miles from my house, I still couldn't go- he refused to let me buy a ticket. I could go on and on about how he just doesn't understand.... I may not have experienced the Boys live, but at least I have my several hundred mp3's to bow down to LOL

PJ is the soundtrack of my life.

Occasionally a Pearl Jam song will get my special lady in the mood, and then Pearl Jam's music helps me feel hole

blondieblue227

i know......it's weird isn't it?

i've been loving pj ever since i heard them in 92. something just clicked in that moment. it was like magic. i like all of their songs since 92. how amazing is that? then on top of that slowly i found what great men they are.

words can not describe, you know?

This Broad Okay! I will always have Pearl Jam in my head. I just saw them on June 20th and been jamming on their music non stop. I'm going through a mad Vedder-stage, where I just want to hear his voice. That since the VH1 Rock Honors, as most people mentioned about "Real Me." Got my club memebership back in '98. Joined right after I saw them in Aug '98. I was so blown away. I screamed so loud and during "Even Flow" right as Mike ended his solo and Ed starts to sing again, I jumped high in the air (wanting to be like Ames) and landed on the left ankle.(Right on beat,which was perfect way to get hurt, in style) It hurt so bad but I didn't want to leave. They played "Jeremy" right after "Even Flow" and I started cry so hard. I stayed to the end until everyone was off the stage, hey it was my 1st show and I wanted to cherish every waken moment.

I know where you are coming from. My first CD album that I bought was VS. back in '94. I borrowed Ten and VS. (they were on cassette tapes) from my best friend's sister. She was hard core into them. A few girls in high school liked them like the whole (Forgive Mike McCready for saying this) "grunge scene." I got into them one my own, with the help of my friend's sister.
It's funny how you like some of the same stuff as other students, but you're still on the outside looking in. I want to a all girls Catholic high school, and I kinda don't want to admit but Pearl Jam was like my best friends. Always there when I needed them. They helped me fill that void, such as friends. Damm that is so "Sad." I also greatly understood "Jeremy" also most everyday in English class I would daydream and think of the video.

Yeah i just dont understand how someone could not like them. There lyrics are so deep and graceful. its like listening to a poem but in music form. Yeah i just wish i had a friend who liked them as much as me so i can share my thoughts with someone. i dont know anyone who likes them as much as me. Does anyone own the no code cd? because i thought that the photographs that eddie vedder and some band members took were so cool, i put them on my wall. Also, is anybody in the ten club and can tell me about the details?
