    comeback is the saddest, other side is a close second though. sad is sad...is sad is sad. is sad sad? sads sad.


    4. parting ways
    3. sad
    2. other side
    1. comeback

    somebody said sleight of hand but that song makes me feel so great. the situation is described so perfectly that i feel like its a guide to not falling into the trap that the protagonist does. i feel the same way about all those yesterdays.

    Lots of good mentions in here. To me, Parachutes has always had a sad tone to it. I'm more of one that listens to the tone and feel of a song than the lyrics really, so I could be wrong. But it just sounds like it could be a sad song to me, lol.

    Footsteps gets me, "I've got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since I fell apart," is an amazing, you can feel the pain.
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    Other Side -- "death ain't the same without you dear, I make the others run and hide"
    Yellow Ledbetter -- always been rather bittersweet for me.
    Better Man
    Come Back
    Force of Nature
    I Got Id -- "if just once, I could feel loved, oh stare back at me"
    Last Kiss
    Man of the Hour

    Has a super sad, emotional set ever been played in concert?
    Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?

    I'll not lose my faith, it's an inside job today

    St. Louis 5/4/10 Hope for many more!

    I think it is safe to say Pearl Jam has to hold the most songs that touch people in so many ways. It seems these guys dont just put a song out to fill space on thier Album.
    Some words when spoken...Can't be taken back...
