    all of the above, i must agree and of course *
    *sleight of hand
    *thin air ~ love can keep on moving in both directions
    *red mosquito
    *given to fly
    *state of love and trust
    *rats
    ....
    huh, i don't know, there are so many ....
    Pearl Jam pieces...

    This is how I saw it one day: Insignificance at the Porch of Mankind

    It's about killing yourself in front of all your classmates.......what's more intense than that?

    Indifference and Present tense.
    I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
    how much difference does it make

    Intense.... mmmm.... BLACK!!! definately!!!... RELEASE (two songs about pain and faith, both deep feelings...)

    TREMOR CHRIST and GARDEN (two intese songs by the way Eddie sings, with such a strength... I mean...)

    anyway, all PJ´s songs are intense...

    light years

    I'm a newbie and this is the first thread that i browsed...in entirety...and i was quite surprised at how long it took someone to mention "I got Id". "soon forget" is another unbelieveably deep song...

    There are some others that have really gotten the message across to me lately(some have been mentioned already).

    Just a few more home run hitters by Pearl Jam:

    Black-sorta describes my situation right now

    Present Tense

    Yellow Ledbetter-even if you don't understand what Ed is saying

    Green Disease

    Immortality

    MFC-also describes my feelings

    W.M.A.

    to be continued.....

    p.s.-Masters of War is a Bob Dylan tune, but it makes it no less meaningful.

    Satan's Bed and Breathe. Breathe doesn't seem like it'd be an intense song, but if you think about it, it sort of is.

    oh, come on, there is *nothing* more intense than i'm open. maybe that doesn't qualify as a song, since it's mostly spoken word?

    nah, it's a song, and it's intense.

    after spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared.
    he is alive, but feels absolutely nothing.
    so is he?


    now that's intense, people.
    you paid to get in, you're free to leave.

    Another "intense" spoken word song from Pearl Jam...
    "I'm Still Here"

    She said to me, over the phone
    She wanted to see other people
    I thought, "Well then, look around. They're everywhere"
    Said that she was confused...
    I thought, "Darling, join the club"
    24 years old, Mid-life crisis
    Nowadays hits you when you're young
    I hung up, She called back, I hung up again
    The process had already started
    At least it happened quick
    I swear, I died inside that night
    My friend, he called
    I didn't mention a thing
    The last thing he said was, "Be sound"
    Sound...
    I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit
    I just thought those would be such appropriate last words
    But I'm still here
    And small
    So small.. How could this struggle seem so big?
    So big...
    While the palms in the breeze still blow green
    And the waves in the sea still absolute blue
    But the horror
    Every single thing I see is a reminder of her
    Never thought I'd curse the day I met her
    And since she's gone and wouldn't hear
    Who would care? What good would that do?
    But I'm still here
    So I imagine in a month...or 12
    I'll be somewhere having a drink
    Laughing at a stupid joke
    Or just another stupid thing
    And I can see myself stopping short
    Drifting out of the present
    Sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
    And there I am, standing
    Wet grass and white headstones all in rows
    And in the distance there's one, off on its own
    So I stop, kneel
    My new home...
    And I picture a sober awakening, a re-entry into this little bar scene
    Sip my drink til the ice hits my lip
    Order another round
    And that's it for now
    Sorry
    Never been too good at happy endings...
