    Here's what I went with:

    1. Tonight You Belong to Me
    2. Just Breathe
    3. Longing to Belong
    4. Future Days
    5. Society
    6. Last Kiss

    If I was going to include, Last Kiss, then I could stick to just five. She came into town this weekend, so I gave her the CD.

    I'll report back on her thoughts on the songs, and if her opinion of Ed's voice changes or not.

    Agreed! My daughter used that album for a music project in the 6th grade. And yes, she got an A. :smile:

    what part of Pearl Jam songs don't people understand? :confounded:

    Well, part of the goal included changing her mind about Ed's voice....so I'm sure that is where the Ed solo songs for the bill.

    That's exactly it. Of course there are much better PJ songs (or even Ed solo songs) that I could had put on there. My main goal is to change her opinion on Ed's voice. I know she will never become a PJ fan.

    NOT just breathe, anything but that.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    She hasn't even listened to it yet! I just sent her a text to urge her to give it a spin.

    Here's my mom's reaction:

    "I have to admit, this is not the Pearl Jam I thought I knew. The lyrics are meaningful and thoughtful. Thanks for slecting some songs that would change my mind about Pearl Jam! I also take back that he can't sing. He is quite good. If you hadn't made the CD for me, I wouldn't have known."

    I do not ever see that happening, but I also never thought she would appreciate PJ/Ed's voice, so I guess you never know.

    Took my mom to Elton John last year. One of the best moments I have ever had with my mom. I do not see her ever wanting to go to a Pearl Jam concert but there are definitely songs she likes. Mostly ones I do not though lol.
