No Way

aNiMaL

Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me

All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my side nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for..

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way

Ooh... Let's call in an angel
Ooh... Let's call in an angel
Ooh... Let's call in an angel

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
No way, no way

Something I don't understand is why they don't play No Way. :?:
Hey Pearl Jam, it's a great song to play live! Next tour, give a chance to No Way!

Just wondering what people think's being said in the 'I'll stop trying to make a difference / I'm not trying to make a difference' ?

I'll stop trying to make a difference/I'm not trying to make a difference...NO WAY!

In my interpretation. It means There is NO chance I am giving up on trying to make a difference. I am not afraid. I am not alone. And neither are you. Don't give up. There are road blocks in front of us, but the only way to get better is to break through. YES WE CAN!!!

Wasn't it Stone who wrote this song?

They did play it live this last tour, but one thing I'm thinking is that the way it is on the record is just too good. Its perfection and I can't see how its possible for it to come out live the way it is on record, it would just have to be a different sounding song like it is to me on Single Video Theory. It sounds more bluesey than the beautiful darkness on the record.

I feel the same way about "Rearviewmirror". It will never be as good as it is on the record. I take it live as a different song then on the Vs. record, where it just comes off as so powerful, to me.

I love this song. I feel it's very underrated.

I just need someone to be there for (period)
I've always really liked that thought
