    Low Light, easily. I'm actually a big fan of jeff's lyrics. a bit more cryptic.
    I pretty much hate both the real ballads (Come Back, Parachutes) on avocado.

    I was lucky enough to see both of these songs live at the same show (Mansfield I 08). After listening to the boot again, Come Back has so much more emotion in it than Low Light. Ed Really belts out the end of Come Back and you can feel it so much more profoundly. Low Light is a great song but my vote goes for Come Back.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    Considering Low Light is my favorite song, not just by Pearl Jam, but by any band in the whole wide world, I think I will go with it.

    Now, with that said, I think, from listening to boots, that Come Back comes across better live, but I have never had the pleasure of actually seeing either song played live right in front of me.
    words seem so out of place.

    No contest - Low Light

    Low Light....

    When they played it at The Gorge in 2005 during the acoustic opening as the sun was setting behind the band, it was pure magic!!! And before then, I had never really truly appreciated the song. I vote Low Light.

    Come Back. Ive never really dug low light and Im not sure why. I normally prefer slower soft songs from pearl jam but I just find low light boring. I think that and push me pull me prevent yeild fom being perfect. Low light, pilate, ghost....jeff ament songs just have horrible choruses I guess.
    Get over here!
