Quite possibly the centerpiece of the gift that is Yield, this song is Stoney at his best. It is one of the greatest riffs he has ever written, and Ed provides some gorgeous lyrics to match. It seemed like they forgot about it on the past few tours, but now it's getting some Canadian love! So if you love this one as much as I, let's hear it!

i shut and locked 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
oh.. nothing's sound
i'd stay here 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 fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, diving
i surfaced when all of my being was enlightened
now...i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
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 a state of mind
i swallowed my words to keep from lying
i swallowed my fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, i was diving
i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
now i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding...
makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    Definitely in my top 5 (or even top 3). Of the boots I have, 7/3/03 has a majestic version.

    A life-changing SUPER HAPPY FEEL GOOD PJ song right here folks. Totally puts things into perspective. This song just completely stands out.

    I'm insanely jealous of ALL that have witnessed this magic live and cannot WAIT until my day finally comes. The song is absolute magic. A song that truely makes me SO damn grateful to be a PJ fan.

    that song saved my life, I was going through some really tough times with losses in the family and that song just somehow fixed it all....plus it turned me into the dedicated pearl jam fan that I am now

    This is a great song. I read an interview with Mike McCready stating that this is the hardest PJ song to play, and that he has to constantly watch Stone becuase of the constant changing of the chords and the difficulty of the chords and notes.

    This is a great song, and Eddie's voice just SOARS during the chorus...

    Wish they played it more live.
    Makes much more sense to live....in the present tense

    I've converted one of my friends firstly to liking Pearl Jam at all and secondly his favorite song now is IN HIDING! He says it's the best song he's ever heard. I think the song did that itself though. Those opening riffs just grab you and take you for a ride. Ahh, and that majestic solo from Mike. Mmmmm, I love YIELD. :)

    I Love Yield as well... but it is so hard for me to pick a favorite song on the CD... although in Hiding is one of my favorites it is hard fro me to say it is the best... when right before it you get a lovely masterpiece like low light... I find it hard to choose...
    Nobody sits like this rock sits. You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us how to just sit here and that's what we need.

    I agree with the people above who thought that In Hiding stands out as one of the best songs from Yield. :)

    "I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened"

    M-A-S-T-E-R-PIECE/.

    SUPER HAPPY FEEL GOOD TIMES!!!
