'better days' made me feel sick the first time I heard it - gave me vertigo! (and the last time) - I like it a lot, but it feels like something coming from way out in the ocean (I'm not much of a swimmer!)
It also has a kind of Buddhist / Mantra / chanting feel to it.
Like I say I really like the song, but it's quite intense, and not for when I'm feeling faint-hearted. Other times though I've just found it straightforward and uplifting. Kind of depends on timing and mood

Tai chi is just disguised as hippie nonsense; it is actually a hardcore esoteric martial art which allows you to 'hover' and also to repel attackers with your back to them - using a burst of radiated energy from up to 257 metres away. Have you never seen Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon....?

No, but I used to see a lot of people practising Tai chi in Golden Gate park. Does that get me anything?!
At first I wasn't crazy about this song. It didn't grab me at all. I'm glad I gave it a 3rd, 4th and 5th listen because it has taken me over and has not let go.

Eddie Vedder leads 'Eat Pray Love'

Following Pearl Jam's triumphant Hyde Park gig this summer, vocalist/guitarist Eddie Vedder writes and performs the new track 'Better Days', the first single from the soundtrack for the new film 'Eat Pray Love'.
The single and 'Eat Pray Love' soundtrack will be released on September 20th, while the Julia Roberts starring film adaptation of the best selling Elizabeth Gilbert novel opens in the UK on September 24th.
Continuing in the same vein as 'Just Breathe' from Pearl Jam's 2009 album 'Backspacer', 'Better Days' shows a softer ' yet just as accomplished ' side to Vedder and his songwriting.
Taking inspiration from world music, the track's globetrotting feel fits perfectly with the theme of the movie, which sees Julia Roberts' character sets out on a voyage of self-discovery through Italy, India and Bali.
'Better Days' follows Vedder's 2007 solo album 'Into The Wild', which served as the soundtrack to the Sean Penn directed film of the same name.
The soundtrack for 'Eat Pray Love' also features 'The Long Road', a song originally featured on the 'Dead Man Walking' soundtrack and for which Vedder collaborated with the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

wish we were all so lucky and wealthy enough to walk away from our lives to find ourselves...but I feel the true challenge is to find ourselves...stuck right in the middle of the quagmire...
I picked up the soundtrack when I was at Starbucks the other day.
Very nice soundtrack!!! Made my drive to work much more enjoyable!
Thanks for the Starbucks info--I had some cash leftover on a Starbucks Gift Card ..now I have the soundtrack! I love Pearl Jam fans! oh yeah...IMO, Better Days is beautiful.
(PS)The movie trailer doesn't nudge me to run to the theatre but the rumor is there are surprises I'm going to see it because I trust that Ed would not be associated with a lousy movie! and then there is Ms. Roberts :P who is awesome at everything.....
Thanks again mca47.....loving it :thumbup:
PEARL JAM in 2024! Dark Matter and MORE ! THANK YOU!! Peace Love & Pearl Jam forever!!

I'm running towards the day
let me sleep.
A whisper once quiet
Now rising to a scream
Let me sleep!
I'm falling, free falling
Words calling me
Let me sleep.
I'm soaring and, darling,
You'll be the one that I can need
Still LET ME SLEEP!
Not mocking, the words wormed their way into my head, now I am singing this way.
It also has a kind of Buddhist / Mantra / chanting feel to it.

Avatar is shit - fans should take up tai chi and roam the wilds - feel it for real!
