    Took me a while to figure out how I feel about this song, but I think I've got it figured out.

    This song sounds insanely mainstream, and I find it confusing that PJ would release a song like this. It's like they decided to switch genres completely. I didn't even know that any of them would ever listen to music like this, much less write it themselves.

    I think what is kind of saving me from hating this song is EV's voice. It sounds great. If it weren't for that amazing voice, I'm pretty sure I'd think that song sucks. But it is his voice, so the song doesn't suck IMO. But I feel like it's more the 12 year old girl in me - the one that still sings along to "Running Just As Fast As We Can" when it comes on, and then one who thought "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was a glorious movie because of that Brian Adam's single on the soundtrack. The adult Pearl Jam fan in me is confused. The 12 year old girl, though, thinks it's uplifting, and she will probably want to flounce around the room singing it into an invisible microphone at some point. But I'm not going to let her. :|

    One of the best posts I've read here. Fantastically put.

    Personally I've 2 conflicting in kids. One is adolescent saying 'Wow,one day I'll fall in love too.' Another in his best Beavis voice is saying...what the hell is this crap?'.

    Adult me can't get it yet but figures it'll be fun live though not at every show please.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Great song. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but I swear if PJ released Black now some people on here would say it was shit.

    Really looking forward to LB now :D:D
    Happy up here in my tree

    Vedder remains the master. The lyrics are superb.[/quote]
    Yeah, the lyrics are okay if you're into that kind of thing (I do not have a problem with very romantic songs), and the vocals are phenomenal... it's the music itself that is .... uuuhhhhh.... Not even sure what to call that kind of music. Makes me wonder what's going on in Mike's head. So thank goodness for the vocals! :thumbup: Hopefully now people will stop using Betterman at weddings. :lol: :fp:[/quote]

    People use Betterman @ weddings? I hope not.[/quote]
    Believe it. They just hear the chorus and figure it's a song for him - can't find a better man, man. Perfect. :lol: :fp:[/quote]

    Wow, that's stupid of them. Seriously, I would do some research, especially if I was using it as my wedding song.

    Being Vitalogy my fav PJ album of all times, and even though I like Better Man, I don't know why people, especially women, are so crazy about that song... what is it about? I mean, woman: can you be so damn fool?

    Oh, it’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get over
    When by the graces, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
    I studied your face, the fear goes away.

    I was there when my best friend passed 3 days ago...thank you, PJ :cry:

    Neither Black nor Ten is great to me, in fact, my first PJ show, I took a piss break during black, it was a long and hot day, I drank a lot, not only booze...

    Thank you pjsoul! I'm mostly in agreement with you; not really about the "mainstream" comment necessarily, but this song surprised me me as well:) I unfortunately read a comment under the youtube video that said "It's like listening to Bon Jovi" I think it skewed my opinion!! PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT COMPARING THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD TO BON JOVI. It's just that reading that comment and then listening to the song, I was taken aback by the sheer mellowness of it all. Eddie's voice is amazing, as well as Matt's harmonies, and I am in agreement that this saves it. The suddenness of Mike's waytoshort solo (as someone describing it as a siren which fits very well) makes more sense when you see him quickly exchange his acoustic guitar for the electric. I hope to see a kick ass solo live.

    Now I have that Brian Adams song stuck in my head, pjsoul!! (I DO IT FOOOR YOU) Wow, Bon jobi, brian adams, I need to duck and cover as some may not read my entire post and just start sending daggers my way!

    Love to Pearl Jam, can't wait for the new album, the tour, oh my!!!
