    My favourite Pearl Jam lyric (and song) is

    "You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets
    or you can come to terms and realize your the only one who cannot forgive yourself oh
    Makes much more sense to live in the present tense"

    that thought alone wakes me up every morning.
    “I don't know what this means. I don't think it means anything.”
    -Eddie Vedder

    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    Even out, it's a precious thing to bear.

    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    ...when he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
    by nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
    no tradebacks...
    so this is what it's like to be an adult
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    i don't question our existence,
    i just question our modern needs
    die on a hilltop.. eyeing the crows,
    waiting for your lids to close..
    but you want to watch as they peck your flesh..
    Ironic that they go for the eyes first

    The witing drove me mad, you're finally here and I'm a mess!!!

    How appropriate as I've been waiting all my life to see them and I finally got to a few times this European tour. Sums it all up!!
    If Pearl Jam was a beer, they'd probably be the best beer in the world!!

    uh huh!!
    I love this part:

    He floated back down cause he wanted to share
    His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
    By faceless men, well fuckers... he still stands.

    how does one write such beautiful words...poetry

    This love with you
