I cannot get enough of this song right now. I've listened to it four times in a row and I'm gonna keep going.

figure I'll be burnt out on it eventually.

    I just discovered that it isn't.

    It never gets old.

    i know you'll be the sun
    in somebody else's sky
    but why, why WHY
    why can't it be, why can't it be MINE?"

    I love that part.

    YOU´RE RIGHT IT´S JUST BEAUTIFUL
    i hurt myself today,
    to see if i still feel,
    i focus all the pain,
    the only thing that´s real...

    Black was the song that really REALLY fell me in love with Pearl Jam. When I saw the MTV Unplugged...I video taped it and would watch Black over and over. LOL of course it has been many many years since I've done that..
    I have not burned out on the song yet...even for all the emotional content it has for me, it is still a favorite of mine.

    Black is my favorite song of all time. I have a playlist on itunes that is just 40 some different versions of it that i constantly playing when i am home. But i used to play it to fall asleep but i couldn't resist the urge to get up and sing along so i lost out on a lot of sleep. I'm actually listening to it right now at work. i don't think i could go a day without Black.

    It's a great song but I wouldn't say it's the best off ten, for me alive is the best song on that album. Purely for my own personal reasons I grew up thinking someone was my dad and found out that my real dad died when i was living the charade.

    oceans and garden are better? are you shitting me? IMO those are the worst songs on the album.

    yes, release comes close but doesn't quite unseat black for me.

    My favorite version of this song is when Ed improvises the "We Belong Together!!!!!!!" ending. The perfect version is on the "Alive and Kickin' '95" Bootleg. Fuckin' brillient.



























    p.s. 999 and counting!

    no, you can't burn out on it. it's not possible. to burn out on something it has to be something that is able to be burnt out. black is not one of those things.
    EVENFLOW MEMBER #009 and i'm LOVIN the new PJ!!!! avacado all the way!!

    i know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    i HOPE you'll be a star,
    in somebody elses sky, but why, why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?!

    I can't put in words how this song makes me feel, especially hearing it live, for me there really isnt anything better.

    the mix of the lyrics and the emotion that drive this song are just overwhelming, it will never get old.
  • BlackCorduroyBlackCorduroy Posts: 1,374
    This was probably the first PJ song I really loved. Its definitely one of my all time favorites too. And you guys are right, it never gets old!:)
  • Born2JamBorn2Jam Posts: 255
    Ahhhhhhhh, Black.

    The first PJ song I ever heard.
    Love at first listen.

    You never forget your first. And there's always a special place in my heart and ears for that song.

    I think I need to hear it now.
    LOUD.
