    *May the Peace of the Wilderness be with YOU*

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    I remember in Brisbane, second show of '98... when they did Given to Fly... (this used to be my fave song for so fucking long)... I closed my eyes.. in this, my fave line

    'And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly'

    I got goosebumps.. i close my eyes, every time at that line now.. and still get goosebumps...

    how amazing is a song that when you hear it years later, it still can do that? many of PJ's songs do that to me too, and this is definitely one of them!

    watching SVT last week for the official yield night celebration was so cool, especially that part with mike explaining how it builds and then the performance of it. dammit i freaking LOVE this song....and this band :)

    I love the escapism of this song. Live versions kick butt,
    Thanks Pearl Jam!!

    adore this part:

    and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
    the love he receives is the love that is saved

    you can't help but sing along at the top of your lungs....at least i can't :)


    I hear you chiqui. Yield is my fav PJ album and given to fly is one of my fav from it and yes I actally do start singing at the top my lungs on that part-lol
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
