And it's funny because the first time I heard this song, which was a very long time ago back in the 90's, I loved it, it meant something but I didn't know what exacly. I also didn't know it was written by Eddie for his father back then.
Then my dad died in 1998 and I remember the first time I heard after that I cried my ass off cause it reminded me of my dad so much and it became that PJ song for me, you know? I get emotional just by thinking about it.
Then I found out the meaning of that song for Eddie. It blew my mind.

Wow. Left speechless here. I'm so sorry for you loss :(
Right now, for me, it's Footsteps. Like so many PJ songs, it rings true.
Unthought Known, Down, Hail Hail, and Present Tense are always on my list.

Hearing it live for the first time in 2009 (Adelaide) was one of the greatest moments of my life. My dad passed away 10 years ago, and he'd be pretty proud to see me enjoying myself down under in Oz ("Ooooh dear dad...").

Just Breathe and Man of the Hour will have a special place forever.
From the first time I heard Man of The Hour it reminded me of my grandfather, a larger than life figure who meant so much to so many different people for so many different reasons. When he passed away in May it just seemed so fitting "a snowflake falls in May". I decided I wanted to speak at his funeral (very out of character of me as I have been somewhat terrified of public speaking) and used a line from Just Breathe in the speech and closed it by saying "The Man of the hour has taken his final bow, this is just goodbye for now"
In November of 1991, I was hit by a truck while crossing a street - I was an avid runner - miraculously, I survived with two broken legs, fractured ribs and vertebrae. THIS song became my creed as I healed and the doctors told me if I were lucky enough to walk again, it would be with a severe limp & complications. Above the expectations of many, I not only walked again, but climbed Mt. Warning In Australia eight months later!
Knowing the actual meaning of the lyrics did not alter my love for the song. For me it meant, and still does at age 45, that I am ALIVE - against numerous odds, I'm still alive - Thank you Pearl Jam, you have inspired me ever since!
Bravo for your strength and courage! I applause you!
I think Rearview Mirror is probably the most important to me lyrics wise. I have always loved Oceans though.
