The first Pearl Jam song i ever heard was 'Once'. it was december, 2001, and i'd just gotten 'Ten' as a christmas gift. i didn't know who PJ were, or what they were about. i was waiting for a connecting flight to Jo'burg in Madrid, and thought i'd kill some time, so i popped the disk in and started listening. by the first chorus, i knew that this was something... remarkable. anyway, the batteries died before 'Even Flow', so the whole plane ride home i was humming 'once' to myself, and i've been an uberfan ever since. ah, those were the days.
THE END IS NE

    I was at a 'indie' disco type thing in 91/92 and they played Alive. I remember just knowing that whoever was singing/playing this was/is really special. turned out to be true.

    I don't recall for sure since i was only 5 when Ten came out, but i'm sure it was probably Alive.

    Jeremy. My dad actually said to me one day when the radio was on.. I think I might have been.. 6. "You know Pearl Jam? Jeremy.. you've heard this song, Amanda." So, yes. Jeremy was the first. Thanks dad :)

    Alive on MTV when it was first released. There was a big buzz about the Seattle Grunge scene and whilst everyone was talking about Nirvana, lots of people mentioned Pearl Jam too. So i would always watch Alive to see what the band was like, never looked back since.

    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

    i remember sitting at my dads desk when i went to work with him one day and i had a little walk man with me, i remember hearing corduroy on the radio, didnt realize who it was till years later, but that was definitly the first song i heard. i wish i could relive the feeling of falling in love with them.
