    "Lets put and end to that negative bullshi# Marine thread"

    That's bashing the other thread... and while many find the other absurd, I also find it absurd to make a directly opposite "Eddie's lyrics have helped the US" thread. Don't get me wrong - they help a lot of individual people, but the spirit of this thread was bashing another thread - two negatives to make a positive, I guess...

    YOUR THE ONLY ONE THROWING A NEGATIVE SPIN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THERS PLENTY OF THREADS> NO ROOM FOR YOUR NEGATIVE VIBES

    Thanks very much for that. BTW, I didn't see this as bashing the other thread, but trying to bring to light why we all love to listen to the band.

    Thanks for being positive.
    Some people did see it as bashing. WHatever...... like I said its for people like you.
    PEACE

    Ed is a freedom fighter who gives tools to the people to find and push for their own freedom and to throw a wrench into the spokes of the great monsterous soul destroying earth ravaging machine that we all live in.

    My father died when I was 15 years old. Even after my parents divorce, we were as close as close can be. He died suddenly and I was not prepared for it all. I couldn't even cry or get emotional. I completely shut down and went on a wild downward spiral and could never get grips on what happend.

    It took years for me to even go to the grave site. I got rid of all pictures and anything that reminded me of him. In 2000 when Binaural came out it had been 18 years since his death. As usual when going through a new PJ album, I first listen to the music vs the lyrics. As I go through each subsequent listen the lyrics will start to hit me. When I got to examine Light Years something amazing happend. After all this time I finally cried! and cried and cried! Finally a song which truly expressed the loss I had and the feelings of change from him not being there. I didn't realize how much I had pent up and it was truly cathartic.

    I can only hope to be as good a father as mine was (I have 3 amazing kids) and hope that I aspire to be a person like my father or whoever Eddie was writing about in Light Years.

    I've used hammers made out of wood
    I have played games with pieces and rules..
    I've deciphered tricks at the bar...
    But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...
    I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...
    I've figured out numbers and what they're for...
    I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...
    But how could you be taken away?...

    And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...
    Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,
    Together... but we were... miles apar...t
    Every inch between us becomes light years now...
    No need to be void,... or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all.....

    And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    He is like a big brother to me, especially in high school. I would have him in mind while writing down my many thoughts. Sometimes I would write to him in my journal, and he will never see it.
    Bring it to a show get close and throw it on stage.

    Isn't it great that an artist can write something so personal for themselves and affect others so much.

    Love this song

    Love this song


    That song along with "Long Road" has really helped me through a very tough time. My Mother Passed away shortly before Christmas and these songs really have touched on many of the same feelings that I've been going through. Eddie Vedder has made my world a better place for the simple fact that he brought these amazing songs and wonderful words into the world.

    Well, I'm pretty sure he's not a threat or dangerous to the world or U.S., let's not forget he's only 5'6". :p

    I'd like to thank him for making me a fan of The Who, Neil Young and a believer of ocean/river/water preservation. :)

    The wisdom... the talent... the love :)

    "Do you see the way that tree bends?
    Does it inspire?
    Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
    A lesson to be applied
    Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

    Have you ideas on how this life ends?
    Checked your hands and studied the lines
    Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?
    Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    To find an approach and a way to live
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense"
    Won't let the light escape from me.
    Won't let the darkness swallow me.
