    Nothing man

    I was 18 going away to school and I felt my GF didn't care I was leaving and the lyrics were so perfect for that time in my life. I was driving to southern California from Sacramento thinking. "She don't want him, she don't need him after he's gone into the sun burn burn burn nothin' man...."


    Release

    My estranged father and I have so much in common yet are not physically close, e is terminally ill and will pass any day month or year soon. He inspired me to love and feel music.

    Low light

    just because....

    . 'Black', 'I Am Mine' (particularly off Live on Ten Legs), 'Nothingman', and 'All or None' (off Boston 7-11-03)...not to mention every (though few) live performances i've seen to date.

    There's nothing like the power of music and especially Pearl Jam's music. We're all really lucky.

    Just watched Come Back from the extras features on PJ20, that song still gets me.

    The Long Road does it nearly every time. Come Back and Black haven't actually made me cry but there's some gut-wrenching power about them which echoes really deeply.
    Pearl Jam+ Social Distortion, dear God, please make this happen again!!

    Well it all depends on my mood at the moment but... I remember a long time ago crying with Garden, Relese and Just Breath.

    I guess my life is just a movie and for every Good or Bad moment the soundrack in my head is always a Pearl Jam song :D

    Yees, so many times! When I was 12/13 I had lots of troubles at home and I used to listen to "Alive" and "Footsteps" all the time... I guess I cried everyday listening to these songs, and they are still very important to me. When all the problems got solved I tattooed "Alive" on my lip, maybe I wouldn't be alive now (haha) if it wasn't for their songs (:

    when i was watching the pj20 movie the other day, and the footage of roskilde festival, when the scene where the camera flashed to eddie's reaction, i found myself shedding a tear also.

    I've been close a few times but recently, they definitely made me cry. I'm sure a lot of you have already heard about nothingman4's story about the most recent Calgary show but for those of you who haven't, I'm going to regale you:

    A few years back, our cousin was killed in an oil rig accident, which shook our family up big time. We all got tattoos in his honour, each of us with different lyrics which reminded us of him. I chose "There's just one thing left to be said, Say hello to Heaven", as Chris Cornell was the last concert I'd seen with Sean. His brother, Ben, picked "We were but stones, your light made us stars" from Light Years.

    Anyway, back in September, Mike (nothingman4), my roommate and I were on the patio in Calgary, waiting to go get our TenClub tickets, when Mike McCready walked past. We all ran out to talk to him, got our pictures taken, etc. Before he left, nothingman4 asked McCready if they could play Deep for Sean. He explained the situation of Sean's death and mentioned that there would be a lot of his family in the audience. McCready said he'd see what he could do but couldn't promise anything.

    Fast forward to that night and Ed says "Back when we only had 9 songs, we used to play this one a lot but we don't play it much anymore. However, there's a young man out there who wants to hear it. This one's for Sean." and they busted into Deep. I was a wreck.

    And THEN after they finished with Deep, completely coincidental, Ed said, "This one's for Sean, too" and they busted into Light Years. I was a blubbering mess. I don't know how that all happened to work out like that, but it did. They definitely made me cry that night.

    Wow that gave me the shivers. Thanks for sharing that story.

    Sure, certain musics means a lot to me, we agree in a special way to see the world. Release, Footsteps and Off He Goes made me cry a lot here in Brazil!!!!!

    The use of "Just Breathe" at the end of PJ20. The film was an emotional rush of feelings and memories for me anyway, and "Just Breathe" was the perfect cherry on top.

    I cried last night watching The Fans Are Alright, at the part where Cameron Crowe is reading one fan's story to Eddie and Hard To Imagine starts playing, just beautiful! :cry:
