    I absolutely LOVE this song... maybe also because i recognize myself in it!
    it's easy to confuse a great design with life's ripercussions

    I love reading about someone hearing a PJ song for the first time.
    Takes me back.

    That's a great tune. Probably one of my faves.
    Like tina said......I see myself in it.

    BTW, anyone know what the hell "id" is???
    I usually refer to the song with the alternate title 'I got shit'
    because I never could figure out what 'id' is.

    'Id' is one of Freud's parts of human subconscious. The 3 parts as he theorized were Ego, Super-ego, and Id. Id is the selfish, or pleasure seeking, part of the human unconsious. Go do a Google on Freud and Id. You'll get better info than I can give you here.

    btw, as far as I'm concerned, the song is called I Got Shit.

    Wow. Thanks.
    I never would have guessed it had that deep of a meaning.
    Then again, I should have.....coming from Vedder and all......

    I always thought it was "I Got ID"..... like I got identification if you need it!! I figured they picked a random word to take the place of the word "shit" so they used ID for whatever reason...... just as easily as they could have used any other word in the English dictionary.

    The nature of the title is somewhat muddied. I have heard Ed say I.D., Id and Shit.

    On the Merkinball single it is listed as "I Got Id", so I would say that that is the legal copyrighted title. Call the song what you will, it kicks ass.

    I just rediscovered this song yesterday and am now absolutely obsessed. SO SO GOOD. So emotional. So beautiful.

    "If just once i could feel love stare back at me"
    "Never held you in real life"

    I love rediscovering pearl jam songs, they're like a fine wine, they get better with age.

    That song is definitely one of my faves. I might even buy RVM just to get the studio version of it.

    "Empty cup in the middle of the sea"
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    First heard this song on one of the bootlegs from the 2000 tour. Liked it immediately and loved it even more when I finally heard the studio version on RVM. Definitely one of my top 10 songs...

    I think this is about the only PJ song that i actually prefer the studio version to the live.

    One of the best ever done by the PJ's. Cant beat that opening line,

    Oh yeah... what a song,
