    Really, one of the reasons I love Pearl Jam so much is bc they're really emotional.

    this is a ridiculous question (ie: it asks for a singular answer and it's impossible to give fewer than a dozen)
    if you love somebody, set them free. if somebody loves you, don't fuck up

    The reason why PJ is my favorite band is that there are emotions in every song, sometimes it's sad (Black, Fatal), upbeat (a lot on Yield), reflective (Sleight of Hand) sometimes angry (Why Go). I don't find that kind of emotions in most other bands. Not to say that it's not there, I just can't find it.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    At the first,a'm sorry for my bad english.
    As for the most emotional song,I think it's possible to say only at live perfomance.The Heart and feeling are there. In the Studios,the songs repeat 100 times and They take for as the best.

    release is so emotionally meaningful to eddie that he can't ever write the lyrics down, isnt that right?

    i'll go with Release!

    I'm sort of embarrased to say my wife and I have recently seperated for a number of reasons which I won't get into. Any way, I was listening to Binaural the other day for the hell of it and actually listened to the lyrics to Light Years for the first time. I fuckin' broke down. No joke.

    Now you have to understand, I'm a drummer so I always listen to the drums first, the sound of the music, including Ed's voice as an instrument--but I don't always focus on the lyrics...my mind sort of makes up my own words without really verifying them. It's not that I don't like Ed's lyrics, because I do...when I say my mind makes them up, they really I really mean to say I follow along but couldn't sing word for word on every tune...more to the point, it's just that I really love the whole package together. I'm probably not making sense.

    Well, anyway, for the first time I understood the lyrics to Light Years and what a beautiful song it really is. Seriously. God that man is gifted.

    So this post is for my wife...talk about emotional...she lives Florida now.

    Karen if you read this...we were but Stones, your light made us stars.

    Nice post coutchboy. I think it's the emotion 'we' get from PJ songs. Everyone will have there own interpretation of a song/lyrics and that is the beauty of PJ songs...they bring out emotions specific to our life experiences.

    Hey Lady, give me a break. The original post did not specify whether it was the most emotional in Ed's eyes, or the most in ours. Did it? No harm, no foul.
