Parting Ways

edited May 2009 in The Porch
So I've broken out binaural lately, once the summer comes Pearl Jam just always feels right in the car. I've come to the conclusion that Parting Ways is so underrated, and is pretty much just a perfect song. It's so simple, yet so genius at the same time. Plus if anyone has ever been a serious relationship that ended, it pretty much sums up that feeling perfectly. Just wanted to give a deserving song a shout out.

    I particularly love the version from All Tomorrow's Parties, March 2002, Royce Hall, UCLA.

    That's the one where he brought out the guy with his violin to accompany him on the song. It was just EV on that big fat red electric guitar and the violin. To me, that really bumped the heartfelt emotion of the song. Gorgeious version...highly recommend it, if you have not had the pleasure yet.

    The lucky dude was a student, maybe high school age or jr college looking. Ed said he met him off the coast while surfing, found out they both played 4 stringed instruments. They practiced after school. Lucky duck!

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    Hey, I agree with what you said about PJ and summer! PJ is best with the windows open and cranked and at night on my deck with a case of beer!

    I really kinda passed this one over until they did an incredible version in Nashville '03. Definitely worth a listen.
