Damn I love htis song.
In my top 10 (Black, In my Tree, Off He Goes, Corduroy, Go, Given to Fly, Even Flow (wah!!!), Grievance, Dead Man) but at the moment I'm just in love with it more than the others

I love the solo, te changes, the lyrics, everything but especially when Eddie starts singing...
I cannot stop the thought, running in the dark etc. etc.

I just go off to another place.

    Thanks for posting!! You know I've been into this song a lot myself lately. I've really been digging Mike's solo and I'm starting to think it's one of his best!!!

    Your thread just inspired me to put in the Benaroya disc to hear my favorite performance of Immortality. Thanks! :)

    I guess it's one of my all time favorites... I get high just listening to it !!
    Like it's been said a few timew, the benaroya version is insane.. and yes, this thread also made me play this excellent version of one of the best bootlegs pearl jam ever made !

    The only sad thing is I never heard it live !!
    Maybe on the '06 tour !!??

    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.

    It makes references to kurt's death, like "cigar box on the floor..." A cigar box was found on the flood near Kurt when he was discouvered... I read this somewhere, I think on http://www.thskyiscrape.com in the song interpretations...

    i´ll never forget the time and feelings i had when i first heard this song, and specially this line...it makes me think of where i´ve been and what i thought when i heard of cobain´s death...and this line still makes me gonna cry...
    i hurt myself today,
    to see if i still feel,
    i focus all the pain,
    the only thing that´s real...

    From theskyiscrape.com:

    (...)immortality is defined as "ability to live by dying"(...)
    I´d never thought about this concept in this way...it´s so simple and a contradiction at the same time...

    until next time...

    I think Immortality is their best song. Period.
