    This song is indeed so, so beautiful. I can honestly say it's the PJ song that has helped me the most. The comfort this one gives is unsurpassed. This song takes tears of sadness and turns them into tears of joy, smiles..... makes you extremely grateful for every little tiny thing. It breaks my heart because of how close to home it hits but it heals it at the same time, ya know? I've never clung to a song so much. :( These lyrics are beyond powerful. Having them carried out by this gorgeous, sincere voice just pushes the comfort to an extreme. The music is also so gorgeous and perfectly written. It's very uplifting & heartfelt. This is definitely a song that is reborn after you loose someone. It helped me through/and continues to help me through a humongous loss more than anything or anyone. It just UNDERSTANDS like no one/nothing else. It SAVES!


    ::we were but stones, your light made us stars::

    ::no time to be void or save up on life
    you got to spend it all::


    *sigh*

    Words that are with me all the time.

    If I ever get to experience this one live I already know it's going to be beyond emotional...and just beyond... period. :o


    I can't possibly express how much I love this song and how grateful I am for this therapy, this strength that it gives us all. Fuel for the soul right here. A song to live by...a song that gives life.
    **THANK YOU SO MUCH PEARL JAM**

  • A wonderfull song.
    Turns your loss into a counting of blessings. Suddenly, you see the big picture.
    Binaural is such an underrated album.
  • I wish Eddie would take Evenflow out for a while and add Light Years.....

    it's my fav song that they sing!

    Light Years has only been played 62 times in concert and only twice in Australia so I wouldn't place a bet on it being played in OZ this year. I would go off if they do!
    EvenFlow has been played 572 times in concert.

    Come on PJ give us Aussies some LY and give EF a miss.

    Didn't Stone write this song? I seem to recall an interview with Ed where he felt he shouldn't even sing it because it was so beautiful he felt it should be Stone's to sing. Either way it is indeed beautiful and one of my all time favorite PJ songs. It gives me chills every time.

    Light Years (6 years old) 62 plays equals 10.2 plays per year.
    Even Flow (17 years old) 572 plays = 33 plays a year

    So even flow is played 3 times as much as LY. I would think that considering that even flow is a radio hit by comparing the two gives you good chances of it being played live. I'm just rushing through here though, you may have been speaking in specific contexts. Well, yeah, shit, I see you broke it down for Aussies (is that okay to say, I don't know). Anyway, I'll shut the fark up and stop wasting...

    Nope. That's Eddie through and through.

    You must be thinking of Thin Air. Ed's always expressing his admiration for that tune and that funky nerd who wrote it ;)
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    Yeah mate I did realise that Even Flow was a lot older but never really took that into account, it was more that LY has only been played twice here. Fingers crossed there are plenty of OZ dates coming up and I'm going to three shows so I hope I catch it. Cheers dude.
