  • Awesome video. I love this song. It sounds so different from most Pearl Jam. And the background vocals!

    The backing vocals are cool, but they sound a bit out of key.
    It's a great song which I hope they do more often, but they do have to exicute it better.
    I feel these songs by Jeff don't get enough attention by the band.
    It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

    Tonedeaf so I don't really notice those kind of things. But they do stick out on the mix. :)

    I reckon I wouldn´t have heard it at the gig either. Perhaps because I would be singing along and would probable more out of key than Mike was. Or at least I thought it was Mike and not Jeff who was out of key.

    I feel Jeff has a really cool way of writing lyrics (e.g. Help Help, NAIS, Lowlight) and make songs with great atmosphere. He should write more stuff for the band.

    In deed, but also if you take in acount the songs he is partly credited for. Indifference, Tremor Christ, Oceans, Army reserve.

    And of course Sleight of hand, Infallible, Pendulum. Oh but you were talking about the lyrics.
    Oh well the same can be said about his music. It is atmospheric and he should do more of it.

    It is a good version, but for some reason I prefer the on from Clarkston.

    I was up in the club section on Stones side, it sure wasn't that enthusiastic for Help Help, everyone were back sitting in their seats. Especially after Corduroy and Given To Fly. I sure enjoyed it though. :)
