I’m also a dad but I have to say this is my least favourite Pearl Jam song ever.I LOVE the new album apart from this song, and I can’t believe they didn’t have a better song to put in its place. It’s such a basic melody and the lyrics are so cringe it’s embarrassing. These guys are good enough songwriters that they can be more subtle in their lyrics - this sounds like it was written by a random blues dad for his daughter’s surprise 21st birthday party.PJ has been my favourite band for 30 years now but I’ve never enjoyed Ed’s solo stuff (except Into the Wild). This is 100% an Ed solo song.0

I'm a father to 3 girl cats, lol. But even if I wasn't, I still think this song grooves. I also have this track in my bottom 3, but I still enjoy this song very much.
This album is so good that I still love my least favorite songs on it. None of them are skippable IMO, and join to the other songs so nicely.I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning0 -
I usually do not enjoy the cheesy/lovey songs but I really love this song! 2 daughters who also love PJ. One will be with me at night 1 MSG the other at night 2. It’s going to be a moment. Hope we get it both nights!5/3/92 Omaha, NE

I love a lot of the songs on the album, but can't get into this one. I have been skipping it. It ruins the flow for me.

Father of two daughters similarly aged to Eddie's and actually laughed out loud in the theatre at this song as it's just so cheesy.
Sure I can relate to the lyrics, but they are executed so poorly because of how literal they are. Almost like a B-Side for a pop country artist.
All that said, the melody feels like a direct rip off of some old song with just a few tweaks to make it his own and I'm having a hell of a time placing it. Anyone else figure it out.1993-08-12 - Edmonton, AB, Convention Centre

The Beatles write basic lyrics and melodies and it did them just fine. Absolutely nothing wrong with this particular song. Some people don’t like it and that’s fine, but don’t act like every song needs to be this complex thing.I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.0

Father of five and just can’t get into this one. For me, This and wreckage are the two clunkers on the new album.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

The song is just ok. Lyrics are a bit clunky. The problem is it doesn't really fit on the album. Should have saved it for Lost Dogs 2.2003 - Las Vegas

I like the song, from a dad's perspective. I prefer Ed's solo song "Skipping" from the Every Mother Counts album in a more sentimental parent way
https://youtu.be/0cEYZUO9XR4?si=hnEXg2kKbodEBZjn
But I dig them both for different reasons, though I think it helps connect to those kinds of songs when you are a parent. Does not mean they are not enjoyable if you don't have kids, its just...different.0
