Which Pearl Jam song means the most to you?

Jeremy

Senior year I did a contest called Mr. Memorial and sung Jeremy in front of most of my senior class. I don't want to sound full of myself but I rocked the place out and ended up winning the contest. I am still known by many of my friends for singing Jeremy and It definitely was one of the better moments in my life. I also take pride in my song selection as I could have sung any pearl jam song. I plan on singing sirens the ultimate pjam ballad at my high school reunion full orchestra on staff (maybe that wont happen but nonetheless my story is true)

light years, corduroy, and the fixer I would add as well

Really I hadn't noticed.
I'll pick Who you are

The End
not nearly my favorite song (too depressing) but as my father was dying I was stuck on this song over and over for months. It still hits my like a train if I listen to it years later.

Release

But it wasn't until I was older that this song had an impact on me....I didn't grow up with my dad in my life...we have a relationship now....a friendship rather, but that song just expresses so much about how it feels to not have your father around...I feel....and the "Oh dear dad, can you see me now, I am myself, like you somehow...." I am like my father, even though I didn't grow up around him, I have things in common with him that are so weird and random that you would think you'd need to grow up around him to have...and "I'll ride the wave, where it takes me, I'll hold the pain, release me...." I'm along for the ride in this "friendship", but I don't dare let on that I still hurt over him choosing to not be a part of my life....and "I'll wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me, I'll open up, release me..." sometimes I find myself waiting for his approval, and wanting it so badly...even though I know it should really go the other way around...but this song means so much to me that I plan to get the lyrics inked on me with a custom wave...

Off he goes

Songs of every album speak to me in different ways. The first song that grabbed me was elderly woman as I was very lonely at the time, and the line I want to scream hello resonated with me. From then nothingman, off he goes, which I could to relate to in many ways I was on a self destructive path which would lead to a dark place which no code soundtracked , given to fly for the same reasons and with the recent passing of my mum, speed of sound, just breathe and come back mean the world to me. Thanks pearl jam it would be lonely without you.

I took the lyrics as literal advice, moved 200 miles, changed careers, started living life... Pearl jam give the best advice. Other tracks that mean a lot to me- Beegirl, Life wasted, Breakerfall, Sometimes, Small town, habit, Sleight of hand, In hiding, Release .. so many.

Great choice and tale, what is the story behind also choosing Bee Girl? Just curious!
