There is something about this song. I remember when it came out alot of us were surprised because it didnt sound like a typical Pearl Jam tune.

But there is something, even now 3 years later, that causes the same goosebumps to rise, as they did when I first heard this song.

And in a world where everything is offkilter, where wars seem to consume everything, where the world is in flames and the pollution is murdering our planet.

When Ed says "Its okay", I find peace in that. I get comfort from it. And I believe it. If only for that moment. It will be okay. Just as he says.

The whole song is spectacular, but from 3:37 on, the tune is absolutely sublime.

    Have to be the one to remind you guys that this song is possibly the worst song that PJ has ever released. I so rarely get to use the term "Worse Than Hitler" so I guess that Comeback has that going for it. I will give it this though: when played in succession, it makes The Fixer sound like Stairway to Heaven.

    Come Back made me cry the first time I heard it and when it's sung right it still does.
    I'm not sure why some songs are like that, but it DOES pull up the goosebumps and tears.

    To me, comeback isn't my favorite tune, nor is it my least favorite tune, nor is it just an average PJ song to me...

    I put Comeback on a completely different scale. It is it's own category and deserves to remain it's own category. I feel if people were to compare this song to any other in PJ's anthology, they would be foolish

    there is just so much to this song it's crazy...i love this song

    really appreciated it more once I saw it live

    nice to hear it in Chicago night 1, though for a sad reason

    I'll admit that it is tolerable live. But only because any live PJ is typically pretty good. It's definitely more entertaining than the Wings -- lol.

    Haha -- no Lemaire this year but no Gaborik as well. Going to see Chicago and Pittsburgh in Minny one weekend in January.

    In keeping the thread on topic -- Come Back is, as Shaq would say, horri-awful -- a combination of horrible and awful.
