i really hope eddie never tells us

i didn't actually know about storytellers... when is it aired? how about in the uk? can i download it? i am quite curious now. i mean i would definitely watch it and just hope that ed doesn't spoil anything. i like a little insight into the songs, just not so that it becomes one-dimensional. a trap i don't think pearl jam will ever fall into.

I would love to hear what the songs "mean" to them. I have my own pictures of what they are about. I have had my own pictures for every song I have ever listened to.

Ever watched the Bruce Springsteen Storytellers? Awesome. Even though he changed what I thought the songs "meant", they still felt the same for me, with just some more images.

Isn't talking about how the songs came about and what they mean, what Storytellers is all about?

i intend on watching the pearl jam storytellers. Learning the origin or meaning of the song will never replace what that particular song means to me. Pearl Jam's lyrics just relate to me like no other band's and they have been the source of immense inspiration and support for me. I will never stop loving this band.

In Immortality he says:
''Scrawl dissolve,cigar box on the floor.'' Kurt Cobain was found with a cigar box beside him with all his drugs in it.

In Last Exit he says:
''three days, and maybe longer
won't ever find me here
let the ocean dissolve 'way my past
four days, and not much longer...'' Kurt Cobain's body wasn't found until four days or so after he died.

And there are loads more I can't think of at the moment.I know a lot of the songs were written before he died but still..

yeah i know all of what you're saying but i maintain that he pulled Kurt into themes already running through the blood .. that's what i meant.

so much of the same thing was going on.. Ed said he saw a lot of himself in Kurt and he "always thought he'd go first"... i'm sure we all knew that though

Hehehe, you made that moment come alive for me

I wonder what it'll be like... Maybe they'll say more about where they were artistically, than what the lyrics mean literally if you see what i mean.

Can you believe I've never seen Storytellers before? Something to do with the fact that I've never had VH1 I guess
