In hiding

Ayedavanita

GREAT song!!! One of my favorites! Like some of you I've gone into hiding many times as well. Eddie must've been there 'cause he hits it with the line a few of you have quoted about coming out of it. "It's all state of mind" I've heard him sing "three days" "three months" whatever and however long it takes. Anyways....I'll give it some love!

Love the backstory we got on Single Video Theory about the little tape recorder and Stone trying to get the band to fall in love with it while Eddie tried to come up with just the right words.

It's perfect. I'll never get tired of hearing it. Never forward past it.

Nature's perfect song.

Yeah isn't that really cool the way he gave us a little insight into the process of it all, that clip is so honest and real, too bad they don't play it more often.

yeah, actually it got as much or more than any other tune on yield, except for maybe Do the Evolution, but that was mostly on MTV, it is a great song and should have been in heavey rotation, and should still be to this day

Thanks for the reply. My memory is bad, or the radio station sucked. It's what I get for not beginning my PJ devotion sooner!

Thank you for mentioning this song, it is in my top three favorite Pearl Jam songs of all time. It is one of those songs that fits whats going on in my head so well, that if I try to explain my situation to someone, I could do no better than to just sing them this song. Just BEEEEEE, yourself. "I get it, there's a picture of a bee on it."

I shut and lock the front door.
No way in or out.
I turned and walked the hallway, and pulled the curtains down.
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every plug around.
But nothing's sound. Nothing's sound.

I stayed where my last step left me.
Ignored all my rounds.
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls.
They were upside down.
I swallow my words to keep from lying.
I swallow my face just to keep from biting.
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving.
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.

I'm in hiding.

It's been about three days now since I've been aground.
No longer overwhelmed.
And it seems so simple now.
It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind.

I swallowed my words to keep from lying.
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting.
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving.
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.

I'm in hiding.

This is a signature PJ tune.
