    Binaural is awesome.. I Have the Hourglass Nebula tattooed on my inner arm.. to say it is my favorite would be an understatement.. SOH is my favorite off the album without question!! Great song, Perfect music for the amazing lyric.

    Hold on to hope.. I have been blessed and have seen it live twice. Grand Rapids '06 (most played song on my itunes) and Cleveland '10.. Hope you get it!!!

    Possibly my favorite PJ song. Definitely top 5. Music, message, atmosphere... Definitely a song I shouldn't connect with, but nothing is scarier than growing up to me, so this song just makes sense to me. It may sound dumb, but that's just how I feel.

    I like this song. Probably my favourite from Binaural. Great lyrics, great mood - eerie

    totally agree with your analysis of the song..... and your SG BMF sig :D
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    This is my fave PJ song EVER.

    I still got wood from the first time I listened it on the Benny Hall vinyl - and there's that fucking marvelous solo from Mike and Ed says "... Christ, he plays..."

    Listening to Binaural at night prolongs your lifespan. That's how good it is.

    There is a long running "joke" i have with my buddies in Backseat Lover (our Mass PJ tribute band)

    I have been trying to get them to play this song for like 2 years now!!

    they often take requests and i'm always in the crowd yelling SLEIGHT OF HAND!!!!!

    then they go and play last kiss and dedicate it to me (my least fav song PJ does) hahaha!! fuckers!!

    they seem to think it's a "set killer" or a "hardcore fan only song"....I tried to tell them that's just not the case! SOH gets love from MOST PJ fans...at least the ones who stuck around after the first 3 albums.
