“Pendulum” is a somber song from Pearl Jam’s 10th studio album Lightning Bolt released in October of 2013. It creaks eerily back and forth like an old abandoned swing hung from a dying tree...

    Love this song. They should create more dark somber songs. That's their bread and butter.

    I loved how they opened the shows I saw in 2013 with this tune... I figured for sure I wouldn't hear it this run and was really pleased when they broke it out at MSG. It's a gorgeous tune and really suits Ed's voice nowadays.

    To steal a line from Jeff Ament who helped write it: This song is pure stoke!
