    Yeah this is probably my favourite off Binaural.

    3rd favourite Pearl jam song behind Long Road and Smile.

    You can feel the passion in Vedders voice, the lost person was obviously very close to his and the bands heart. If I recall i think it was a lady who worked for Sony who passed away shortly before Binaural was released.

    i've used hammers made out of wood
    i have played games with pieces and rules
    i undeciphered tricks at the bar
    but now you're gone, i haven't figured out why
    i've come up with riddles and jokes about war
    i've figured out numbers and what they're for
    i've understood feelings and i've understood words
    but how could you be taken away?
    and wherever you've gone
    and wherever we might go
    it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
    your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
    we were but stones, your light made us stars
    with heavy breath, awakened regrets
    back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together..
    but we were miles apart
    every inch between us becomes light years now
    no time to be void or save up on life
    you got to spend it all..
    and wherever you've gone
    and wherever we might go
    it don't seem fair...you seem to like it here
    your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
    we were but stones, your light made us stars
    and wherever you've gone
    and wherever we might go
    it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
    your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
    we were but stones, your light made us stars

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this song

    I hate to bring interpretation to the song but I think this may be about Kurt Cobain. Eddie and Kurt had a tumultous relationship but on the day he found out Kurt's suicide, Ed trashed a hotel room. He was quoted as saying that it should have been him. I think that the line your light made us stars reflects the country's attention to Seattle and the movement at the time

    CAll me crazy

    Yeah, i never thought about it being Kurt. He could have wrote that song about anyone personal in his life though.

    i think i've listened to that song over a hundred times.. mostly because i put the album on repeat. it's like, the only cd i listen to when i drive. and i drive a lot. damnit. but yes, the song is superb.
    There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.

    Definately one of PJ's most beautiful - it'll certainly always bring a tear to my eye no matter who it was written about. I think the lyric's are so heart-felt, it could be alot of things to anyone who hears it.
    Don't give blood, and take it back again.

    hi Midget town and mr pjamas. Did eddie said it should of been him after he heard of Kurt's tragic suicide.? I remember it was courtney love who said in an interview with a German music mag that she wished it had been Eddie Veddar.

    Not too sure if she was taken out of context. If she was not it was a terrible thing to say.

    Light years - fantasic song - full of emotion.
    eddie would go

    Hey Johnathon, i'm not sure if it was Eddie who said that it should have been him instead of Kurt. I've a copy of n interview around the time, and in it the interviewer told Ed about a local magazine article in Seattle which said in the headline: "Why couldn't it have been Eddie Vedder". This was quoted from Courtney Love. However Eddie replied by saying, "That's nice. that's really nice. That makes me feel really good. I wonder why she didn't mention that when I phoned her last night and offered her any help or support I could give her..." Eddie said that he always thought it would have been him first, but never really said that it should've been him first. Sorry if my useless facts have not helped you.
