Footsteps. Some of my favorite lyrics in a PJ song.
"i've got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since i fell apart"
"and if there's something you'd like to do, just let me continue to blame you"
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." - Thoreau

I personally can't decide myself, prob the reason I started this topic. Just listened to Times of Trouble today, I remember hearing this first and liking it over footsteps. However with time I have become so big a pearl jam fan and in love with footsteps myself that I can't say. Footsteps seems more touching however the way times of trouble builds up to "if somebody..." is probably the best part of the two.
Both. Because they go hand&hand for me.its almost part1 & part 2. Sometomes foorsteps lead to time of trouble.2 amazing songs..... without temple of the dog would there be any pearljam .you better stop me before i begin. And if i behave will you arange a spacios quarter. Please make it nice.where the ocean meets the land.....
I love both, but if I had to make a choice I think it would probably be Times Of Trouble. Chris Cornell's voice is unbelievable on that album, and Times Of Trouble is definitely one of the best songs on it.
I wish Cornell would bust this song out at one of his solo shows, I'd kill to hear it live.
I went to a couple of Cornell solo shows a few years ago, and he called me out from the second row at my first show for the shirt i was wearing. When he saw me two nights later wearing the same shirt, he asked me what I wanted to hear to which i replied "Times of Trouble"....he smiled, and said They {his touring band} can't play that one.
I LOVE footsteps, but Times of Trouble is probably my favorite off of Temple of the Dog, and Temple of the Dog is probably in my top three records of all time.

Hella busy, I think I'm going back to Chicago around that same time this year again. I'll catch up with you here soon on facebook bud!
I gotta lean towards Footsteps, while the riff is the same and Mike has said it was the inspiration. Times is about heroin and death and while that is part of life and the tune its too sad and dark. Not that Footsteps is uplifting but I think its about a girl who sucks.... Although I heard on the DVD its about Stone and Eddie fighting.. To each their own, but I would rather blame someone than drift away _
I think I would definitely have to go with Times Of Trouble. Both are excellent songs, but as a few people have said already, Cornell just owned on the ToTD album, probably one of my top albums of all time as well. Footsteps is a touching song though, I was fortunate enough to hear it live at the Newark show about a month ago. Man this was a tough call!

why: cornell's voice
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Footsteps: "I've got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since i fell apart"
I can wholeheartedly support this^^^
Times of Trouble: "If somebody left you out on a ledge. If somebody pushed you over the edge. If somebody loved you and left you for dead..."
But damn if I can't support this^^^
I'd probably go with Times of Trouble, but in the end, just because I heard it first. Either way it's a patented Gossard Win®!
Footsteps: "Footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
Ooh, pictures on my chest... It was you. It was you..."
Times Of Trouble: "I saw you swinging
Swinging your mother's sword".
Now that I'm thinking again, I would probably say Times Of Trouble.
I enjoy skinny-skiing, going to bullfights on acid...
Haha yeah Gossard FTW
I'll go with Times of Trouble, but both are awesome
I'll not lose my faith, it's an inside job today
St. Louis 5/4/10 Hope for many more!
