I would say Jeremy, because uhh, well, my name is Jeremy
But as far as helping me through hard times...
Alive or Release

Coming back to life

Hold on - if I'd literally held on to my certificate last night things would have been different!

Boom The Cat

Alot, theres alot.


Breath: It's one of those songs that has a get up and go factor, I'm like that, I dont let anything hold me down, I just get on with what I want to do.

corduroy:

Read what I said in the *what you like/dislike about the PJ song and why* (corduroy)

Daughter: lets just say I know what it feels like for someone to be dissapointed on me.

Given To Fly: I love heights I prefer heights to low places, I used skip lessons to sit on my school roof and admire the air

Lightning Crashes: Because when I'm down and I play this, I CAN feel it coming back again

Long Road: As I dont want to be married/have kids I'll be alone most of my life, and the line "I have wished for so long, how I wish for you today" kinda brings out a side of me that craves to be loved. But I guess it wont happen.

Man Of The Hour: whenever I leave something for a long time/for good I take a final bow..

Who You Are: Because everyone has a place in the world

Wishlist: Because I know what it's like to wish for something, see long road.

I know this isn't pearl jam, but anyone who knows me on MSN would see that my screen name is,
"no matter what you say, no matter what you do, no matter what Im always right there behind you..."
From our lady peace: right there behind you thats for everyone who I know letting them know that whatever happens I'll be backing them all the way.

I think the most significant Pj's song, to me, is I am mine, because none has the right to tell me what i have to do and to think! I am mine!

"She dreams in color, she dreams in red-
Can't find a better man"

Betterman played like a soundtrack in my head as I tried to come to a decision about my marriage. Ultimately, I asked for a divorce.

Ms. Haiku

Not for you.

It's hard to meet people without imaginations, and yet they have opinions, too. At times I realize I have become like the people I hate to meet, at times I realize I'm not. Oddness, for sure.

Parting Ways :(

Ms. Haiku

In hiding. Well, if the lyrics are about hiding, then In Hiding. I'm finding out more and more that lyrics have a little something different than a title may suggest.

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was escaping from a man who was another man's Hit Man or just big guy whatever. My oldest sister was in it, trying to help me escape, and my twin was in it trying to help me escape. When I woke up I wondered if maybe I was relying on them too much to escape something that I should not have been escaping. So, anyway I thought of In Hiding-time to stop escaping or find out what I'm In Hiding from.

Kinda obvious, but "elderly woman" makes me think of what it may be like if my first love and I play games until we are both old and once again single. It makes me think of walking into some shop or something, and seeing a lifetime full of "what ifs" flash before me.

"Smile" What a great song, actually makes me think of a different time when I had a really great friend who I could just think about at most points of the day and smile, it helped alot that I was listening to that song most of the time we knew each other.

Footsteps is me really badly when i have been in my deepest darkest depression...."I've got scratches all over my arms one for each day since i fell apart" the best line from that song.....

"i got ID" for me is like a perfect verbal portrait of me at 17/18 and an experience i had in that time period..

Pj can really write some stuff that just speaks to my soul and i find comfort and solace in.....

Took the words rite out of my mouth :-)

I'd say Yellow Egg Beater because I do not know any of the words of that song but I love the flow of it and I do not understand me at all but I like the flow of myself.

I am mine mixed with Who we are

Because I always thought that we are owners of our lives ( "I know I was born and I know that I`ll die - the in between is mine") and no one can do nothing about it. I mean we have to trust in what we are and never feel less than other person ("We`re all different behind the eyes - There`s no need to hide")

It`s not an selfish think it`s just we have so much sorrow around us (just read the newspapers) and pressure to be a successfull person, that all we have to stand up well and be a good person it`s yourself with your own values.

have a good life

Mine would have to be Black right now

My long time girlfriend and me just split up becuse of a real bad fight with my brother and it really affected me and my relations with my brother and family, it kind of sent me spinning. Hearing that song gave me hope that we will get through this and I've smoothed things out. The song that fits my life changes like every week so it will be something diffrent soon.

pearl jam are the first band to make me cry. ever. In june, my grandfather passed away. for no real reason, i bought RVM in july. the first time i heard man of the hour, i crumbled. the lyrics just hit home everytime, and it makes me want to do what he would want to make him proud of me. i modified my old guitar recently to have the lyrics on the back, as well as his birthday and deathday. hearing man of the hour at the end of big fish also hit home this loss.
various other tracks include present tense, which makes me want to go out and live my life and achieve all i know i can achieve and take every chance. i am mine is another indication of this. the raw emotion of release really gets to me. lyrically i cant really relate, but hearing all of eds emotions in the song make me tingle. given to fly makes me want to find inner comfort and happiness in life. i experienced a feeling like that last night for a split second. thanks to pearl jam, i know thats waiting for me. i just have to find it. and i know what will be in my cd player when i do

id rather be here with an animal

as opposed to the police, as my cousin will attest. the cops really didn't asses the situation very well. they rolled in swinging nightsticks and the innocent got it as bad as the guys doing the brawling, including my cousin. and what makes the least sense is now he's charged with felony assault on a police officer, for trying to protect his face from a nightstick.

id rather be....

it's hard to name only one, but i have to choose only one, right now, i think I Got Shit is the one.

Right now, Sleight of Hand is pretty much where I'm at - except for the suicide thoughts at the end of the song, so don't worry.
