    It's definitely evolved...Why Go, Daughter, Rearviewmirror, Betterman, Footsteps, Not for You, All or None, Parting Ways, Inside Job, Parachutes...

    I really feel like PJ plays the soundtrack to my life...and the music has completely changed my life. It came along at the exact time that I needed to feel some kind of understanding, some kind of connection, like somebody got it and it gave me hope at a time when nothing and no one else did...and it grew from there. I honestly have no idea what route my life would have taken if I didn't have these songs to help get me through.

    "What a different life had I not found this love with you" :)

    :thumbup: It's smething along that for me too.

    I felt a strong connection to Rearviewmirror, All or none, Breath and the like in the past, now it's there with songs like You Are :)
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    :D our lives seem to have taken somewhat similar paths :)

    And when I'm at a show all my senses are completely lit up. It's the one time I feel completely at peace, completely alive, completely full of life and energy. I always go to shows completely sober and feel so incredibly high (or what I imagine it to be like to be high :oops: :lol: ) I love other music and enjoy going to other shows, but it's just on a whole different level. I tell Tim I dread the day PJ stops making music and stops touring all together. It will be like mourning a death. I try not to think of it because...ONLY 3 WEEKS UNTIL CHICAGO!!!! :mrgreen:

    Off He Goes-I always need to be doing something productive, and sometimes I take on too much.

    I Got Id, Nothing As It Seems; the live version of Arc.. for so many reasons, from the Who to Roskilde; Around the Bend kills me inside every time I hear it; Of the GIrl... that's so close to my hear.. just as release is.. but it really just gets the inside of who I am... and then, of course...sitting with a wheelchair.. I'm in HIding....
    but Long Road and just about any song that takes me away in my head..

    I did get a ticket-- the only speeding ticket in my life... listening to Dirty Frank. In the land of Enchantment- New MExico.
    When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

    Oh man! Changes often. Right now it's Down.
    I've been fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam live.

    I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan

    I've been a Pearl Jam fan since I was 13 and first heard Ament's opening to Jeremy on the radio. To this day, Pearl Jam continues to inspire and challenge me to not just be better, but to be great.

    Off he goes...for many years i went down a self destructive road..and forgot about my dreams and family ..I came back after a dark trip inside and no code soundtracked this , off he goes for me represented my wayward mind and could relate to it greatly..everyone's interpretation of a song is different that's what's so great about music, it can be profound and deeply moving..and for me off he goes resonates still today.

    Better Man, Nothingman, Present Tense, Down - it's been a progression. I would have just put Better Man, but that would mean I was still that person in that situation, it's easy to think of yourself that way, it's the true evil of abuse, changes how you perceive yourself, but Nothingman is the break, Present Tense is the struggle after and Down is the everyday fight to not be swallowed by the darkness and not let the light escape - he may have lost the bolt of lightning, but guess who has it now.
