it's not the same without you up here
can't find my wheels
your absence is what breeds this fear
warm breath and all it steals
you can't know how it feels to be in here
all the dark horse fields, befriendin' me
playin' ain't the same without you here
we've come to hate the golden rule
cannot seem to make the dots connect
the morning light don't show you near
you can't know what it's like to bleed from here
the blackened world goes white, it goes nowhere
oooh hoo..
death ain't the same without you, dear
i make the others run and hide
new york streets seem to make it worse
all this noise inside the quiet
i can't hold on, the weight you bear
my body's broken fast, please lift me up
you can't know what it's like to be inside
your fading melodies can't beat my need
i'm not the same without you here
how can i quit to be there
sit and stare
stare..
begging for a prayer
- lyrically, one of the best songs ever, & I just love the sound & emotional singing - best song from the Riot Act sessions, in my opinion

"you can't know what it's like to be inside" - the way ed sings that - *dissolving*
and at the end, "i'm not the same without you here" - damn. goes straight to the heart.
much love to this song - thank you mr. ament
that line was in my sig for a long, long time. i looooooovvvvvvveeeeeee this song. beautiful.
yeah, what a wonderful tribute to them ay?
and to compound the beauty, i LOVE what ed said about it in the liner notes for LD:
"if life is a cruise ship and death is to disembark to another shore, then this song is what it's like to be on land while your partner remains out at sea"
*sniffle* DAMN!
i really love those lyrics!
That is why I'm singing
my friend and i cover it when we jam!
Jeff is my idol.

yeah this prompted my jeff-lovefest over at the porch tonite haha
but memories...they eat me
I've seen it all before,...
bring it on cause I'm no victim.

Nothingman,
Low Light,
Nothing As It Seems,
Otherside etc...
I've always thought his lyrics were good, but never realised how good they actually were..the lyrics to all of these are very impressive..
*The less said about Sweet Lew the better though
it's true though, jeff writes some really gorgeous lyrics. very picturesque, painting with his words.
really such a beautiful song, i hope they play it on the next tour!

it is a very beautiful song, and I adore the hell out of it. Just reminds me of my love right now, who is only a few hours away. A great song about missing your partner in life

I am SO in love with this song.
I made a thread for it back in 2003
<http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=8745>
...but this song can seriously never get enough praise.
I also had a NON-STOP campaign for this beauty back then too...it carried it's way over to this year and as much as it hurts my PJ lovin heart that it hasn't been unleashed yet... I know that the timing just wasn't right. The hope will never die cuze I know the boys WILL bring it to us when it is.
I've said before and I'll say it again...Jeff may not write songs all that often but when he does?! Good lord. This and LOW LIGHT are by far 2 of the most gorgeous works of art imo and I'm forever grateful to the mighty man for sharing these gifts with us all.
OTHER/SIDE really is something VERY special. I have yet to meet one person that isn't just completely taken back by it's radiant, infectious beauty. It's seriously one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard. Words, music, ED'S VOICE...just everything. It's just so soothing. As Jeff said in the LD booklet~~> a song about "everlasting love"...which is definitely something I possess for this heavenly creation.:o
THANK YOU JEFF!
and THANK YOU + Pearljamslion + for spreading more love!
