Leash- That song has always meant standing up for yourself , i was bullied as a kid and one day i just stood up to him and that song always puts a smile on my face especially the line "GET OUTTA MY FUCKIN' FACE "
Aye Divinita cause it sounds like it was meant for the Georgian bay Niagra escarpment type area that I grew up in. Lots of big open spaces and vistas overlooking the fresh water Lake Huron, with amazing forest terrain as well. Still my favourite piece of music ever.
"Daughter"...my father was very abusive. I have since left him behind in my life and have moved forward. "Rearview Mirror"
for the same reason.
Daughter as well for me. My father was an abusive alcoholic and I got the brunt of it all. I too have left my father behind. My life is so much more peaceful now. I have my husband to thank for supporting me through everything! Love you honey!!!!!!!

Me, Stone, Brandon O'Brians, Jimmy the Greek, and Michael G. were partying at the fab Mandalay Bay resort, spa, tennis club, and casino. The following transcript occurred word for word. True Story:
Stone: Yo' Geraldo, pass the cheese nips.
Me: Get the nips yourself, you spoiled child of a manchild.
Jimmy the Greek: [throws box of nips] Take the Nips and the points, you idiot.
Stone: Don't treat me like this. I'm a huge rockstar.
Brandon O'Brians: Name one song that's good that you did.
Me: Well, I did co-write "Imagine" with Yoko Bono.
Brandon O'Brians: Not you.
Me: Do you mean me or my iconic mustache? Please be specific.
Jimmy the Greek: If Lombardi had your iconic mustache, he'd still be songwriting today. Take the Falcons and the points!
Stone: [sees attractive woman]: I wanna gets me some of dat!
Me: [sees girl, too] Hey Stone, check it, check it, check it one time. Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy. This girl is mine!
Jimmy the Greek: Oh, the great douchemaster gets busted by one of his own songs!
Michael G.: Can someone get Pat O'brien on the horn to confirm that?
Five years later, Ms. Pat "Mustache" Summitt became Mrs. Iconic Mustache.
so, this song means a lot to me. Here are the lyrics.
"Bawitdaba"
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy

My name is KIIIIIIIIIIIID...Kid Rock

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glancers and the topless dancers
The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers
The G's with the forties and the chicks with beepers
The Northern Lights and the Southern Comfort
And it don't even matter if the veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
And all my heros in the Methodone Clinic
All you bastards at the IRS
For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks
For the shots of jack and the caps of meth
Half pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all tricking out in Hollywood
And for my hoods of the world misunderstood
I said it's all good and it's all in fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Love Someone)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Kill Someone)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Love Someone)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Come On)
For the time bombs ticking and the heads that hang
All the gangs getting money and the heads that bang bang
Wild mustangs the porno flicks
All my homies in the county in cell block six
The grits when there ain't enough eggs to cook
And for DB Cooper and money he took
You can look for answers but that ain't fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone
What
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Come On)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Love, and for the hate
And for the peace.... WARRRRRRRRRRRR
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
(Come On)
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy
The ocean is full cause everyones cryin
the full moon is looking for friends at hightide
the sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied
i only know my mind
I am mine...
I was once in a relationship with a girl that had different religious beliefs than me, but at the time I loved her so much and tried to be "faithful to her."
Release - I was in the Atlantic in Oct. of 2000. Unseasonably warm, for one week, lots of bad karma in my life at the time, and I felt like I needed to reconnect and center myself. So there I was drifting in the waves, totally awe struck by the fact I was in the ocean in Oct., when this feeling came over me. I can't explain it, I can't describe it, except peace comes to mind. I left the ocean that day a different person. And here we are almost 5 years later and that day still stands out as a defining moment in my life, and I am able to remember vividly that feeling, that environment. - Glorious! - I hope I never forget it. Release takes me to that moment every time.
Man of the Hour - My father died before I was born. This song is so emotional for me, but in a good way.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine. I Am Mine

a lot of thinking lately for me on where my life is heading and got me thinking about what i wish i was and where i was
taking pills to get along, inventing wars to call your own.....
....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......
Well, I dont know what the inspirations were for the people who wrote the songs but I think most artists want you to gather your own meaning anyway. For me, "Present Tense" pretty much always aplies to me, you gotta have that mindset, whats in the past is past. Also, "Deep" was good for me a while back cuz i was just feeling miserable and overwhelmed with all sorts of shit at school, personal and academically. I was just "in too deep".
I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

I guess for me, It has been a fifferent song , as I grow up, and as new Pearl Jam has come out. So, when I was 13, It was oceans, and Jeremy, but then when Vs. came out, it was Rearvie Mirror, and Indifference, then tremor christ, and corduroy, and than in 1996, It was Off he goes, and In my tree, Then it was the whole Yield Vibe, and Binaural, I was all about Light years, and of the girl, and insignificance, Riot Act, LBC, GD, All or None, you name, it's like Pearl Jam is the soundtrac to life.
we can dream, and we can make dreams come true for others
For me ( a relatively new fan of PJ ) i love the song "Daughter". I was seeing a fantastic girl at the time who introduced me to the band. I'll never erase the memory of her banging the car steering wheel (in time )and shouting at the top of her lungs!! The opening chords and lyrics do it for me, from that moment on i was HOOKED!!
Dirty Frank - Hahahahah actually, I'm using it as inspiration to write a poem "Clean Glenda" which is Dirty Frank's little sister. Should be interesting if I put it from where it is locked in my brain to paper and pen.
There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
PearlJams songs, lyricly, are the only band that in my 35 years of being a music lover, that have consistantly spoken to me in a deep way.. that made me feel like on some level, someonje else "gets" what i am feeling and been thru......So many songs.....just click with something inside me...
Ditto.
Thank you for saying exactly what I feel.
"This band has provided many people a soundtrack to their lives.." ~ CitizenRick
Like a lot of you have said, there are a lot of songs that have applied to my life. Black and Grievance are a couple of the ones lately. Black because it has helped me to deal with the loss of my father over the past few months. Grievance because every time politics are talked about, I get so pissed off at the people running and governing this country.

I Am Mine - I find it impowering.
Those are just a few.....
