PEARL JAM- OF THE EARTH (NEW SONG OR IS IT?)

Posts: 586
edited June 2010 in The Porch
I googled Of The Earth which was played in Dublin on June 22, 2010. What came up is an article from 2005 when PJ was about to tour and was making Self Titled album.

The link- http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1502710/20050520/pearl_jam.jhtml


Ament singled out two other tracks as his current favorites. "One is called 'Of The Earth,' that's a song Ed wrote that is kind of a cross between early Peter Gabriel/ Genesis and Sleater-Kinney with, like, the Who's Live at Leeds or something.

According to this interview/article, Of The Earth is an Avocado outtake.

    Hmmmm....

    Ament singled out two other tracks as his current favorites. "One is called 'Of the Earth,' that's a song Ed wrote that is kind of a cross between early Peter Gabriel/ Genesis and Sleater-Kinney with, like, the Who's Live at Leeds or something. There's also a song that Stone brought in that Ed wrote some great lyrics to [a song] called 'Parachutes.' That's probably one of my favorite pieces of music that Stone has written in a long time. It's got a beautiful melody."

    The title sounded familiar to me too but I was just chalking it up to some residual thought from a future life or something..Thanks for clearing that up

    Anyone got a link yet?

    Wow when was the last time the band played a song live that they hadn't yet released? Pretty sure it has been a very long time. I'm thinkin the 90's.

    Did Ed say anything about the track before/after it was played? I can't wait to hear it and I guess this is making that new EP that's supposed to come out sound more real.

    Before it was played, Eddie said that it was so new it was barely a song. That would suggest it has been reworked since it was recorded for Avocado.

    It sounded great, Mike pit in sone great lead work. There were some interesting tempo changes. A few people have posted elsewhere that it sounded like In The Moonlight. I didn't hear that at all.

    Overall, pretty great. Dublin has always had a treat or two!
    When we found the things we loved,
    They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
    We tried to pick up the pieces,
    And get away without getting hurt,
    But they caught us at the state line,
    And burned our cars in one last fight,
    And left us running burned and blind,
    Chasing something in the night.

    Wasn't "The Fixer" from the Avocado era also?

    I remember Mr. Ament talking maybe 5 years back how they should start doing a better job of carrying over material from era to era instead of not looking back and always starting fresh.

    It's not just a Pearl Jam thing. "Tough," by U2 was "around for a long time," according to Mr. Bono, before it became "Sometimes You Can't Make it...", which is a terrific song, but didn't need that very first chorus.
