I've been listening to this songs a lot lately, I think it's because I can relate to a situation I am in right now. Anyone else like it, or can relate it to how they feel about someone/something?

    Defintately.. the feeling I get from this song is kinda how I feel about someone.. especially the line "every inch between us becomes light years now.."
    bitchin song.
    There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.

    Have you heard the original rough version? it sounds TOTALLY different but still awesome. If you can get your hands on it, I totally recommend it.

    great lyrics
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    no time to be void or save up on life...you've got to spend it all.

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    Unfortunately, I haven't given this song much credit until just now when I read the lyrics. I can definitely relate to this. There are alot fo people that are no longer in my life that I miss and their light is still shining from light years away. It's weird how time can be a distance...

    the quote in my senior yearbook was, "no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead." kinda a metaphor for high school, at least in my mind.

    i reckon as far as lyrics and poetry goes its up there with Eds best efforts... proof theyre only getting better with age. Binaural is a masterpiece

    Light Years is one of the best Pearl Jam songs IMO.

    this was the feelign i was stuck in for about 4 months at the begining of the year. i use to cry listening to this song and thinking about this.

    i love pearl jam so much because they make a song for like everysingle kind of situation i have wrapped myself into. lately crown of thorns and otherside have gone really deep into me.

    this was my favorite song for the longest time.
