Is there a Pearl Jam song about creative inspiration?

As in I wrote this song because I was so inspired by such and such and such. I can't really think that Given to Fly was because I thought it was about smoking pot, but I could be wrong. Poets write poetry on poetry writing, do song writers write songs on songwriting - in particular is there one in the Pearl Jam song list?

    as much as i like your theory, i dont think GTF is about getting baked, but if it is, it just became my favorite song ever... to answer your question, i think writers block might be about what you are looking for

    What album is "I'm Open" from?

    Yes, you're right, if I remember correctly Eddie Vedder at a Seattle concert said that he wrote the song "Given to Fly" while stoned, not about being stoned. Sorry about writing it the wrong way.
