    One of my all time favorite songs! I get the chills everytime I play this song
    Nature has it's own religion, gospel from the land.

    Bump for a chilling song... And a fantastic show! Raw emotion in the voice and I agree it's mesmerizing how the guitars talk to each other.

    So, I was just listening to this and didn't really know if it was considered a PJ original. It is listed here on the website as being a cover, so I guess it's considered a Rockfords song? I'm still confused, but it is an absolute gem.

    mislabeled. it's a PJ original.

    Simplified, it is a DSUS and hammers on to a D then Csus2 then to a Bm#5 to a A5. Then the second part is E5, then C then E5 then A5, then he goes back to the above comment. The solo part can be done in the d minor pentatonic scale. Then little thing that sounds like the ending of "black", all he is doing on the G string is hitting the 5th fret then 7th fret, then a full bend to the 9th and back to the 7th fret to the 5th fret, then 4th fret.

    Fun Fact, this was actually a song minus the words from The Rockfords. (Mike Mcready side project) Vedder didn't know the lyrics. So he Improv it. Thats why it never made it on an album.

    My favorite era of the band. It was still new to them, there was no YouTube so you could take chances on stage, they experimented more, etc...
