What is The Most Emotional Song Eddie Wrote?

  • Sleight of Hand has been getting to me recently, think its very emotional.
    Mostly all of Ten is extraordinarily emotional lyrically and musically, with Black, Once, Release, Alive, and Garden.
    Life reveals what is dealt through seasons
    Circle comes around each time
  • Let me sleep is a contender
    A restaurant with a smoking section is like a swimming pool with a pissing section
  • INDIFFERENCE IS BY FAR!!!!!!!
    I think that this is a suicide song and suicide is very emotional as in the effects it has on the person and his/her loved ones
    As soon as you're born you start to die

    corduroy is my favourite song.....I play it constantly.....he really seems to get places with it.....I feel something strong.....heh.....I love it....I can't express it......corduroy.....yes!!!!

    Yeah dude, I totally agree with you. Corduroy is such an amazing song, I just love listening to it. Especially the original version off of Vitalogy. The intro just gives you chills, I love the bass in the background of Eddie's guitar.

    It's freaky that it comes back to me now, but six years ago i was trapped in a terrible relationship and i remember how a friend of mine sat me down and played betterman. The lines..."she lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man..." the story of my life...i think it's his most emotional song ever!

    dirty frank
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.
  • Indifference, Corduroy, and Dead Man. He seems most tortured and powerful in these songs.
  • Mine are Garden and Man of the Hour...and many many more after that!

    Really, one of the reasons I love Pearl Jam so much is bc they're really emotional.

    this is a ridiculous question (ie: it asks for a singular answer and it's impossible to give fewer than a dozen)
    if you love somebody, set them free. if somebody loves you, don't fuck up
  • The reason why PJ is my favorite band is that there are emotions in every song, sometimes it's sad (Black, Fatal), upbeat (a lot on Yield), reflective (Sleight of Hand) sometimes angry (Why Go). I don't find that kind of emotions in most other bands. Not to say that it's not there, I just can't find it.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?
  • for me betterman is too much. sometimes i skip to the next song. but when i do listen to it, i listen to it on my own because its like, no one elses business. its so personal, i cant explain it.

    If I knew where it was, I would take you there, but there's much more than this...

    At the first,a'm sorry for my bad english.
    As for the most emotional song,I think it's possible to say only at live perfomance.The Heart and feeling are there. In the Studios,the songs repeat 100 times and They take for as the best.

  • I'm sort of embarrased to say my wife and I have recently seperated for a number of reasons which I won't get into. Any way, I was listening to Binaural the other day for the hell of it and actually listened to the lyrics to Light Years for the first time. I fuckin' broke down. No joke.

    Now you have to understand, I'm a drummer so I always listen to the drums first, the sound of the music, including Ed's voice as an instrument--but I don't always focus on the lyrics...my mind sort of makes up my own words without really verifying them. It's not that I don't like Ed's lyrics, because I do...when I say my mind makes them up, they really I really mean to say I follow along but couldn't sing word for word on every tune...more to the point, it's just that I really love the whole package together. I'm probably not making sense.

    Well, anyway, for the first time I understood the lyrics to Light Years and what a beautiful song it really is. Seriously. God that man is gifted.

    So this post is for my wife...talk about emotional...she lives Florida now.

    Nice post coutchboy. I think it's the emotion 'we' get from PJ songs. Everyone will have there own interpretation of a song/lyrics and that is the beauty of PJ songs...they bring out emotions specific to our life experiences.
  • Open Road?

    I dont even know if he wrote it, but Open Road is pretty emotional. I'd love to hear anyones comments on that song.

    Hey Lady, give me a break. The original post did not specify whether it was the most emotional in Ed's eyes, or the most in ours. Did it? No harm, no foul.
