    Well whoever the song was about, definitely was not aware of the true painting of Eddie's love.

    I'm not really interested in who this song was about for Eddie.

    I know who it's about for me.

    oh really who;s it about for u?
    My ex and I loved this song. We were in our old apt. and he played this tune " I know someday u have a beautiful life..i know u'll be the star in somebody else's sky....why..why..can't it be..why can't it be..."

    that was deep.

    the masterpiece which is black means something to all of us i think, it was the first song that got me hooked on pearl jam and the end is soo beautiful i never get tired of hearing it, it almost gives me.....hope that i am not alone.

    I tried before. Was gonna play it at an open mic night at this club. I couldn't do it though. Some things had jsut happened in my life, and everytime we tried to practice it I got teary eyed and my voice would quiver. That song just means too much to me.

    Staind have a habit of covering Black live... and they don't do too bad a job really. I remember hearing that they'd been doing it and being horrified at the prospect, but it was a pleasant surprise to hear it. Obviously no match for PJ, but a pretty good effort at what must be a really daunting song to cover.

    Exactly. Ed put his heart & soul into this song (as did the rest of the band) and I can feel it every time I hear it. As artists/muscians, they put their thoughts, feelings and talent out there for themselves and for others, hoping some of us out here will at least understand, possibly relate to it. Well, I can relate...and damned if I can make it through this song without tearing up and breaking down over my (now) ex.
    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.
