I've always enjoyed "I'm like an opening band for the sun."
AskPearlJam: PearlJama101-guest says: Who's idea was it for Eddie to play banjo on "Soon Forget"?
Eddie: I don't know whose idea it was but it was turned down.
Pretty much Indifference in it's entirety, but that's just the mood I'm in. My fave could change on any given day cause there are soooooooooo many great lines.
It's a hopeless situation and I'm starting to believe that this hopeless situation is what I'm trying to achieve.
I am so hooked on that song!
what's that from? cause it so describes my life right now :(
too many fantastic lines to count, but one that's always bothered me is 'once divided, there's nothing left to subtract', and i get it in the sense that (i think) he means it, but i'm a scientist and logic overtakes on this one, and mathematically, this line makes no sense
No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.

"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"
My favourate changes from time to time depending on moods, sircumstances etc, but for a long time i find that the last line in Immortality "Some die just to live" is so intense. In such a small pice of writing it says so much. So many of Ed's lyrics are amazing, alot of which make your hair stand up on end and send a shiver down your spine.
I could go on but here are some of my favourate
"Some die just to live" - Immortality
"It's instilled to want to live" - Insignificance
"I have wished for so long...
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road?
We all walk the long road" - Long Road
More of a verse but i thinks its awesome

"It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder ".....Ed.
"Triumphant are the angels if they can/a get there first..." (Tremor Christ)
"If you hate something, don't you do it too" (Not for you)
"All that's sacred comes from youth/dedication, naive and true"(Not for you)
"Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere..." (Immortality)
"I had a false belief/I thought I came here to stay/We're all just visiting/All just breaking like waves" (Push me pull me)
"When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him/By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact" (I'm open)
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
It's growing up just like me.
And the young they can lose hope cuz they can't see beyond today
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Constant recoil sometimes life won't leave you alone
It always changes for me, the other day all or none came on my ipod and "to myself surrender to the one i'll never please" really stuck in my head a simple line that in really relates to mas a person a lot of the time
"...I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky, but why...why...WHY...can't it be, oh can't it be...MINE"
"...I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky, but why...why...WHY...can't it be, oh can't it be...MINE"

yeah classic...to add to it....
I dont think these people understand.... oh they dont understand, no they dont understand.....they dont understand..... we belong together, together..

'this is a new song..... but it was written a long time ago....
its dedicated to the bastard that married my momma.' [start betterman]
