  Could it have a "political" theme? In the second verse, taking the lines "all the bills go by and, initiatives are taken up,.."
  find the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more..." literally. Republicans vs. Democrats? No compromise,
  blind political ambition, no care for the little guy?
  
  Obviously, "hold you, feel you..." goes somewhere else. I've just always listened to the song as a sort of "call to action"
  
  "what the fuck is this world...running to..."

  this is one of hardest songs to figure out exactly to me....I disagree with MikesLoveChild...I think that when you just look at the surface it is just like looking that the tip of the iceburg....when you get underneth the words and you scratch the emotional, deeper surface then you can truely take something away from the song...that is the great thing about pj...the lyrics seem simple, but there is SO MUCH more in them...

  I agree with the political theme,....that make perfect sense....
  remember back on MTV unplugged Eddie stood on his stool during this song and wrote pro choice on his arms...so I do think that there is a political theme going on in at least that one verse...
  
  I really think it is just frustration with life, and he just wants someone to "Hold my hand, walk beside me".....it is a frustrated love song....You know how when you get frustrated, things just build and build....I think he is just letting off steam about the world, day to day life, and his desire to be with this person (who seems like she just dumped him...)

  I've always thought it was about abortion. Eddie writes it from the perspective of a woman - pregnant and left by her boyfriend or whoever. "didn't leave a message... at least I could've heard your voice one last time." She faces "daily minefields" --- prochoices giving her hell which only adds to her trauma. And so on and so forth. That explains why Vedder often makes some prochoice comment before playing the song live. At a concert in 96 that I saw, he said, "My body's nobody's body but mine... you run your own body, let me run mine. Here's a little lesson about choice for everyone... 'What the fuck is this world...'" And like the MTV Unplugged show when he wrote PROCHOICE on his arm during the bridge and the whole... "There is something I don't mind... there's a choice in my time... and I don't think we're changing it and I could die to make a change for it.. there is something else I know... ANd I know how I want this... how I want to live... how I want to choose." Maybe it's unrelated to the song, but I don't think so. That's my 2 cents.
  
  I don't know what to say, so I'm just gonna say... I am a donut.

  I had a similar view as Laterdays, it was mostly influenced by the Unplugged performance and Ed's writing of "pro choice" on his arm and that additional verse. "I know, when I would not ever touch you Hold you...feel you...ever hold...never again..." to means the mother talking to the aborted child. However, the thing brought by others about the porch is also a great point.

  Okay I will give this a shot in the context of abortion....this is a story of a woman who is pregnant who wants to get an abortuion....as we all know ed does sing from the voice of a femal from time to time...(daugter, one time he sang last kiss as though it was a girl who lost her boyfriend, etc....)
  
  What the fuck is this world
  Running to, you didn't
  Leave a message, at least I
  Coulda' learned your voice one last time
  Daily minefield, this could
  Be my time, 'bout you?
  Would you hit me? (2x)
  Oh oh oh...oh whoa whoa...ow...
  
  I think this might be a potentiall abusive relationship due to the would you hit me line....however I think that line might be "would you HELP me"...I don't know really....but that part is not such a big deal...what this verse is saying is that the man that got her pregnant left her without even telling her...you know how it goes...sometimes assholes get women pregnant then run becuase they cannot take it...
  
  All the bills go by, and
  Initiatives are taken up
  By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
  And the cross I'm bearing home
  Ain't indicative of my place
  Left the porch (2x)
  Oh oh oh...
  Hear my name, take a good look
  This could be the day
  Hold my hand, walk beside me
  I just need to say...
  
  This part is about bills in washington...not money....all these bills get passed to try to prevent abortion...it is saying that the parties are split 2 ways...there is no middle ground...just a constant battle for the laws and regulations surrounding abortion...
  
  And the character feels like the is being crucified for wanting/getting an abortion...but she knows that she is not a bad person for it...she feels it is her body and she should be able to control it...
  Hear my name, take a good look
  This could be the day
  Hold my hand, lie beside me
  I just need to say
  I could not take a-just one day
  I know, when I would not ever touch you
  Hold you...feel you...ever hold...never again...
  Yeah... (12x)
  
  This part is where she is asking for help...she wants support but she feels alone in her desicions....she is alienated because of her choices....but she can't take it, she has to go through with it...
  
  the last few lines might be refering to the unborn child...she knows that she will never touch him/her...fell him/her....hold, etc....
  
  What do you guys think?....

  WOW...that abortion theory makes so much sense...I have tried to interpret this song for a long time...I knew there was a political issue in the song...but I thought it related to how people struggle everyday to make ends meet...when inevitably there will be no more middle...class that is...thanks to the way the government is running things...so I figured it all fell in line with the roller coaster of life, the constant stress, people getting caught up in life...struggling, and forgetting the the real menaing...
  BUT NOW...I see things so much clearer...THANK YOU...I feel like "finally the shades have been raised!"....

  ...Whew!!!! That blew me away! This is like a think-tank where scientists, philosophers etc....share their thoughts and come up with a "Law"....
  
  ........Abortion, of course! I don't know if any of you remember it, but Eddie was on the Cover of 'SPIN' magazine a whiles back....maybe it was the end of '92 or early '93????? I can't remember...He was sitting next to a chain link fence outside.....
  .......He was interviewed in Glasgow, Scotland and the article was about abortion, as a matter of fact, Eddie may have written the article himself....
  .He was refering to a young girl in Ireland, who at the time had been raped by her father, and how the Irish government had to make the decision on whether or not she should be allowed to go to England for the abortion...That story made major headlines all over the World....
  ........He was also talking about the necessity of Pro-Choice...not as a form of birth-control, but as a very serious, perhaps life changing decision. Never once did he take the issue lightly.......
  .......But the saddest part of the article.......
  ........He spoke of his own experiences, the choice he and a girlfriend had to make. They chose an abortion. He reflected on how different his life would have been, how he surely wouldn't have been in Scotland writing an article about pro-choice, touring, writing music/poetry for people to enjoy etc....
  .......He said he would probably be working at a gas-station trying to make ends meet.............
  
  ............Now this song makes alot of sense.........Especially with the Unplugged goings on....The writing on the arm, the added words etc.....
  
  
  ......This thread has to stay cool now, we need to just stick with the tune..
  cause I've seen this issue get very ugly on the old board, OK?

  I think its a call for action...

  I don't see the abortion connection at all....sorry.
  What I do see is a call for action against a system that continually screws the public...in one way or another...its about stepping up & out against the powers that be, regardless of the particular issue at hand...during the 92/93 tour during Porch, Ed sang excerpts from The Rollins Band "Tearing" - "They don't mean to do it, you don't mean to do it. We're tearing each other apart. Fucking tearing each other apart. I see you, I see you, I won't forget you..."
  
  Also, during the Yield tour's stop in West Palm FLA, he sang something along the lines of "This is our last dance, its our last chance..etc, etc..) Either referring to the fact that the tour was ending or as a greater, more political, revolutionary statement.

  Do not worry how other's interpret the song, instead focus on what the song has always meant to you I'am sure when Eddie was growing up he did that to Who songs and just like you he may have had a totally different view point on one song than somedody else, do not let others ruin the song just because we all have different viewpoints and differing opinions on one song or another we are all right if the song in question has any meaning at all to us individually because that is what music is.

  Re: song interpretations

  This post shows exactly why I don't like videos (well except for the few PJ has made!). Songs should be left to individual interpretation. But sharing those ideas is a very good thing. I always thought of "the porch" as a metaphor for not participating in life, just sitting back thinking that you can't make a difference. When you "leave the porch" you take control of your life. And that works in any interpretation - abortion, politics or a lost love.

  hey all!....i have been tryin to post but my username was screwed up...ive loved readin the posts on the songs the last few days....
  For porch i definately think abortion is the main focus but..maybe we should analyze what the reference with the porch is...if we could do that it would prob be easier to figure out ledbetter and breath
  i left the porch...i suggest you step out on the porch...and a letter sitting on a porch...the comments on the porch so far have made some sense but i thought if we concentrated on that we could figure somethin else out
  by the way will we do the ten b-sides before vs?

  I've taken notice to something...the repetitive use of words in PJ songs. The words porch and OCEANS really stand out to me. He uses the word porch in Yellow Ledbetter too. Did you ever notice the feeling of relaxation you get when you sit on a porch? I don't know if that has much to do with "Porch" but Yellow Ledbetter always gives me a 'sitting on the porch' feeling. Haha, I'm probably not making much sense right now and that's usually why I don't openly analyze songs here in the message pit. I just let the mood I'm in at a particular moment analyze the song for me. That's how I've solved many mixed emotion problems I've had lately (granted, the problems aren't solved yet but I feel better dealing with them now). Wow did I spill there or what? Sorry if I didn't make any sense but hell..I needed to post, I've been missing from the board for a while

  this isnt really realated to interpretation of the song, but when i read your thoughts on the porch itself, namely that its "where the little things in life are so appreciated," it hit me really hard for some reason. i think my heart skipped a beat. past moments flashed before my eyes, when my family and I would just sit out on the porch talking and laughing and getting along really well.
  
  I'm not sure what to think of the song as a whole. Personally I've always sensed a lot of anger and stress, just with everyday life and everything that goes along with it. I also think it probably has to do with a breakup... not as much sadness as in black, but more rage. Someone else said something about relating the song to abortion, the lyrics written from the pt of view of a woman, and that also seems to make a lot of sense

  You got to wonder why this song about abortion is titled "Porch"...what does it all mean?...I think someone did post that we should analyze the meaning of the word Porch in a few of PJ's songs...It is a good idea, but I my brain is too mushy for that much thinking today!...Good 'Ol Eddie...always giving us food for thought!

  First and formost, this song kicks friggin' ass!! I love it!!!
  
  Next I would have to agree with most of you who say this song is about the hustle and bustle of daily life even with a touch of romance thrown in there. But I would have to add that it is from the viewpoint of someone that is close to the end. "Ain't gonna be any middle anymore" It makes me think of an apocalypse, or revolution.
  
  Well, that is my short and sweet of it.... Everyone else?

  When I first read the subject title of your post, I thought "could this be about American Pie?" I've enjoyed looking through these posts and have thought about porches for some time now, since the general theme seems clear to me already. The symbolism behind a porch is its contradictoringly simple. To me, porches are places for reflecting, relaxing; they are cocoons of peace and of safety, things we commonly associate with comfort, stability and freedom. After all, where else can one graciously step outdoors while staying indoors, being not quite in the home and not quite out of it, in a ~neutral~ territory that can be both an open connection to the Outside and a pleasant outlet for the Inside?
  
  Peace.

  By the way, don't mind the errors on my previous post... unfortunately I've lost the habit of proof-reading (and it is rather late) What I meant to say is that a porch is within two worlds, and that for this reason its definition seems contradictory, although the concept is simple (and one that appeals greatly to me). And as a side note, I would like to add that I never had a porch, I have lived my whole life in a building, my country does not hold any tradition of having them, and especially in the concrete jungle of Sao Paulo, Brazil, I rarely spot one. Nevertheless, I have promised myself I will one day have a porch to perch on.

  To me, Porch is relaying the idea that in this society, we are moving much too fast. We can't even focus on what we need with human emotion and touch. As we fly through life, without taking the time to smell the roses, we can't help but feel that something's missing.

  The best live version of porch in my mind is the version from the 4/3/94 atlanta concert. Thr long extended jam is awesome. Thats just my opinion and I could be wrong.

  That abortion theory.. hell that is GOOD. (although still a little lost on how 'porch' fits into it). But i do also agree that every song can have more than one interpretation, and if you believe in your own, then that is true enough.

  One of my fav. songs. So glad to hear discussion about it. IMO, the song is whatever you get out of it. But, to add to the abortion/pro-choice interpretation, don't forget Ed said something along those lines during the SNL '92 version of Porch.

  I'd like to throw a spanner in the works of this one by presenting a new theory, well, my take on it anyway. Again, as with OCEANS - I reckon the telling part is in the final verse. I believe the person is speaking of a loved one with a terminal illness, probably AIDS. The entire song just seems to have a feeling of pending tragedy about it. The person is feel the anguish of knowing that their lover will leave them any day now and they cannot take the pain that comes with feeling that the last time that they see them could be their last. 'Hear my name, take a good look, this could be the day' - the person is urging the dying partner to take him/her as their last vision/memory in death. The safety and warmth of those days sitting together on the Porch are now gone. You have left the Porch, you have left our world, you have left me.

  To me it's about deciding to be free.
  Enjoy nature and share the glory.
  Simple, yet comforting.
  I love Porch!!

  my fav. PJ song (along w/ Breath). Great raw power and honest emotion come flowing thru this classic tune. Like many PJ songs it has different meanings, usually dependent on your mood/emotional situation. Normally, I view this song on par w/ Black in its lyrical content. I usually think Porch is about a relationship that has just ended or is about to end and it comes from one perspective, from one of the people in the relationship and how it is affecting them. However, after losing some very close people to me, I was listening to this song one night and it sounded different to me. It sounded like the song was talking about the permanent loss of a loved one (i.e. death). The lines "Would you hit me, would you hit me hard" really sunk in. I took it to mean "what would the loss of someone close do to you, how would their death/life affect you." In all, Porch, to me, is a very sad, longing song concealed in a powerful rock song.

  Live Free or Die!

  Ive always believed Porch to be about Abortion. and ive always felt it was from the mans point of view. ( dont know why. ) ... I think "Porch" fits in because the porch is a warm safe cocoon, just like the womb. Is leaving the porch being likened to a termination?

  And we're all allowed to dream of the next time we touch.

  My voice was pretty much gone by the time they hit Porch at Boston I...but I lost it on this line....vocal cords fried....love this song and yes, it has to be played LOUD!!

  believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
