She said to me, over the phone
She wanted to see other people
I thought, well then
Look around, they’re everywhere
Great song! Can anyone tell me where it's from? I have it on a bootleg copy of lost dogs disc 2 but I don't think it was on any of the foriegn copies of the album.
Seems the more you make
equals the loneliness you get
She said to me, over the phone
She wanted to see other people
I thought, well then
Look around, they’re everywhere

It was never released anywhere in the world. It was falsely labeled as a Japanese promo - but that was a flat out lie. This song only lives on as a true internet leak only.
I had my heart ripped out September 6th and I've been counting the days until I start to feel better. Listening to 'I'm Still Here' kinda keeps the wound open. But I can't stop listening to it since aNiMaL graciously sent me a copy of it. I can't believe how much of these painful lyrics I've been through in such a short time. The phone call, the significant other's midlife crisis, not telling people at first, the horrible thoughts, everything reminding me of him. I suppose the absolute worst was the initial shock.
I swear I died inside that night
No kidding Ed. My insides became lead. Hard, cold, heavy, sinking. Couldn't breath, it was like having an incredibly severe panic attack. I'll never be as scared as I was when he told me we needed to take a break from each other. Because I knew there would be no break. Just a silent gulf between us that gets larger until I fall in and can't climb out or until I jump off the precipice and learn to fly without him.
Sadly, I didn't have Ed's good sense to hang up afterwards. I call him every couple of days. Call my ex-fella I mean, not Ed, heh.
If everyone's break-up is like the one described in 'I'm Still Here' I'm surprised anyone ever puts themselves out there to risk the pain and crippling grief that comes from having your heart shattered. Right now, I can't even contemplate another relationship in my young adult life.
It's very moving and a friend I sent it too said she opened the e-mail first thing in the morning and was crying at her desk..
She's not long out of a bad relationship and I think the lyrics really struck home to her...
Me... I just wanted to share something beautiful with a friend...

Thanks aNiMaL, the song really is beautiful

Without a doubt the lows from a broken heart are as tremendous as the highs from being in love with someone who loves you back.
"Everything I see is a reminder of her"
That line always got me. How true that statement is, ya know?
Hang in there An. If you want to talk - shoot me a PM.
Someday, I would like to hear just where this song came from, when it was recorded, how it ended up on the net, etc. One of the great mysteries of the Pearl Jam universe.
That said, it absolutely knocked me on my ass the first time I heard it. And it still does to this day.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
That said, it absolutely knocked me on my ass the first time I heard it. And it still does to this day.
seriously. can remember it like it was yesterday although its been at least two years.
just put it on a few minutes ago, and haven't since march 20th according to itunes. the last time i put it on i was going through a breakup..and now as soon as i started it and heard the voice i immediately flashed back to the last time i listened to it and how depressed i was...yet somehow while the song overall sounds very sad, it managed to cheer me up. i sent it to another girl i was talking to after the breakup (on the aforementioned date) right before i signed offline and got a sweet message from her the next morning. she probably thought i was going to kill myself or something b/c of this song's tone...little did she know it was having the opposite effect haha.
anyways, it's truly a moving piece of work, and a thread well warranted.
"Last time I think we played that song here was like, a long time ago, and there was a bonfire in the back and people were like throwing each other into it...very exciting days but a huge fucking relief that that's not how it is tonight..." Ed Irvine Night 1 2003, after Deep
I love this 'song', moved me to tears when I heard it the first time and still does now, can understand why it wasn't released though.

Can anyone please PM me this song? That would be great. You'll send a link or a file or what? Didn't get it yet...
