I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

Dimis, u legend!!! It's my birthday today so I hope I have good luck and if I don't win I'll cry buckets
This is an Eddie quote I recently found online (and then found a video of it on good old youtube!)...it is helping me a lot these days:
"If you trust me at all, if you listen to me at all, which you certainly don’t have to, speaking from experience I can tell you that things change. You can believe me, you don’t have to, they probably won’t change unless you make them. The best way to change something that’s around you, something you don’t like, is to change yourself. I don’t think you want other people changing you, I think the only person you want changing you is yourself. So if you ain’t happy, if you’re reading magazines about Generation X-ers and thinking “yeah I’m one of them” well fuck that. Don’t let anybody tell you who you are. Oh no. No one can tell me who I am. I could tell you who I am but that would be a long story. I could tell you who I am and it wouldn’t fit in a Rolling Stone, it wouldn’t fit in a video, it wouldn’t fit, it’s my life. It’s your life. You’re the only one who knows who you are. I hope you know who you are. If you don’t know who you are figure it out, cause you are somebody. And I’m probably stating the obvious but I just thought I’d do it anyway. So if you feel like you’ve got a piece of duct tape on your mouth, if you feel like you can’t speak, take it off! Speak up! Speak your mind! Shout it out! Let ‘em hear ya! Shout out!"

oh, D... you've got some some precious karma coming your way, my friend.
since it is impossible for me to choose ONE lyric or set of lyrics, i will go with what is most relevant right now...
"everyone i come across in cages they bought...they think of me and my wandering, but i'm never what they thought...got my indignation, but i'm pure in all my thought...i'm alive"
...
most people i know can't understand my choice of job (waiting tables with a college degree...chosen BEFORE the recession), or what i do with my time... however, i see in their eyes a certain -envy- while they are essentially condemning me for following pearl jam and picking up and travelling (often for pj, but often NOT) and living my life as i choose, not how i "should". i think of this lyric, and it makes me think of everyone i know who are so financially/emotionally/otherwise tied down who looks down on me, but secretly also envies me. oh, how lonely i must be (*sarcasm*) to not have any ties, no kids, no relationship, no job security, no benefits... i'm also still under 30, and i am living my life to the fullest. i choose to (to paraphrase martin lawrence) "ride this mother till the wheels fall off". Life is short. And I am enjoying every minute of it.
any concert live the lyrics are crazi, The whole song of black LIVE, - i love the lyrics -i hope some day you have a beautiful life i know u'll be a star, in somebody elses sky - then when eddie decides to extend the song - this love i will remember for ever..i will remember for ever this love, that is why, i am lying when i am saying i don't love you no more, no more , no moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, do do doooooooo, we dont belong together ... we dont belong together ... see you next march eddie

Funny, I've never been called a guy before But I do appreciate the vote :thumbup:
I think the quote sums up what Eddie has given/been trying to give us over the years - a voice, the courage to have our own voice and a medium to help us realise who we are/can be. If that makes sense.....
if I keep holding out,.... will the light shine through?
Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fucking quarter out here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck? You're blowin' it for fucking everybody! Hit me with a fucking quarter again, and fuck it, I'm outta here! We're all outta here! Fuck you! And if anyone sees someone throw fucking change right next to 'em, you have my permission to personally beat the fucking holy shit out of 'em! Thank you very much! Fucking idiot! Ahhhhhh... That felt good!
I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me...
The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
At his show in Newark in 2008, he took some questions from the audience and I guy shouted out "What does Yellow Ledbetter mean?" Ed's response was something like: "Wait, you mean there's lyrics?"
Of course he then went on to explain what the song meant.
It was all very goosebump worthy.
Truly special night.
how talented our frontman...way to go.....thanks Eddie and thank you all guys...

The north is to south what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine
