What does this song make you think of or what does it mean to you personally? Ive heard so many different interpretations of it, so thought Id ask you guys, as it would be interesting to find out :D

It makes me think of one of my aunties, who's had a little coffee shop in the same village in the same town in Brazil for over 20 years... and the bit that Eddie says ''I seem to recognize your breath', makes me think of her even more, cos she smokes a lot, and has done most of her life...I havent seen her in ages and this song makes me miss her... :cry:

    I swear I recognize your breath... my favorite most meaningful line also
    I love the song, very glad to hear it most times I see them, will never get old.

    To me on a personal level it means 'you smell like my lover'
    that is a very good comforting thing, almost can't find the right words to describe
    that feeling.

    When Eddie sings this song I've always felt it is for all of us ...
    the words tell of the lasting bond that will never cease, that we share with him
    and that is renewed when we see him again :D

    missing him I am

    saying that, the other day I was listening to pearl jam on my Ipod, and it was on shuffle, then when the song I was listening to finished, I thought, please let the next one be Nothingman! and gues what.... it was!!! :D

    It is for me a look back, a description of my feeling "in between" places and circumstances, one back home my past and my life as it is right now.
    I am not the same girl I was back home but I am having trouble letting her go...
