My favourite songs from Ten are Alive, Release and Jeremy. Just looking at those first two, I read somewhere in an interview with Eddie that ALive Once and Footsteps are a trilogy (as they were the three songs he got on the demo.) They tell the story of a guy who has a troubled childhood (Alive), a violent adulthood (Once) and an early death (Footsteps). See if you can figure out the story and If u ewant more info ask or look for a website whose adress escapes me atm but is all about Eddie and his lyrics (under 'Eddie Vedder' search in google). If you have heard this idea before or have just looked it up or have an idea yourself, does anyone think release fits into this? basically, all three songs are about a guy and all his troubles go back to his mum. I wanna know if u think release is relevant. I think it it, but let me know (Only if all that makes sense)

    Release is about the death of his real father who he never got to know, hence the line: "oh dear dad, can you see me now? i am myself like you somehow. i wait up in the dark for you to speak to me....."

    Oh man i love that song. Hope that helps!
