    It's SO true magnus!!! You aren't overanalyzing by any means. I think we'd all agree. I mean I've said over and over in this thread how I love the irony of this song....don't be fooled by that title. The song LIFTS YOU UP!!!! Such a happy one! And yeah, it really does continue to just "rise". It's fuckin beautiful and really damn clever all at once. :D

    Kaddi....

    *hugs*

    Sorry to hear things are so rough. It's awesome/perfect to have a song like this to turn to though. :)

    Keep that head up girl!

    ~>It can be done<~

    HOPE just flows non-stop outta this badboy! Damn! The whole thing just inspires strength and hope beyond belief. And right on for them playing it the other night at the awards. :D How can anyone possibly have "too much" of this song and the positive feelings & overall burst of life that it fuels you with?!? I just can't see it happening. What a perfect song to represent PJ and their "impact" too. :) We all know PJ, alone, is seriously theraputic... but DOWN specifically?!!? Doing extra, extra things. :o Fuckin a-mazing!!!!!!!

    Down is my fav PJ song of this millenium. I'm sure it should have been a single instead of a b-side.
    Ooooh - they have the internet on computers now.

    Mikey should definately write more songs - this song is awesome.
    I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
    how much difference does it make

    yeah i know what you mean Kaddi, it has been one HELL of a year for everyone I know, including myself. :(

    BUT yes, this song is a GREAT way to lift your spirits up whenever you have a bad day, bad month, or even bad year. Hell, I went through a break-up, literally broke, jobless, etc., etc. But this song really does bring my spirits up and I agree Kaddi, "won't let the darkness swallow ME"

    *HUGS to everyone who is having a bad year*

    Just remember guys, listen to this song, it will LIFT us up whenever we are DOWN :D

    It's a good one, hard to believe PJ are so great that's a b-side.

    such a GREAT, positive song and a great motivator too :)

    holds me down
    rise, life is in motion
    i'm stuck in line

    that part gets me moving around like crazy!!! Just got this song ONCE, at Bridge School, but damnit it was a GREAT experience to hear it acoustic :D

    This song def. should of been on Riot Act. The band said it suffers from "doesn't sound like the rest of the album" syndrome, but I think it still would of worked.

    :D

    A Pearl Jam song that SAVES and INSPIRES beyond belief.

    Ahhh and now everytime I listen to it I have flashes of the Down montage going through my head. Makes me smile even MORE! :D

    I agree. Evolution doesn't 'fit' well in Yield to me, but I love it. The album isn't the same without it.

    Down is so inspirational to me. It's cool to see something with a little different attitude to it compared to the anger/angst in most of the other songs.
