    Only he and his family know. The rest of us are only guessing I'd say. :p

    "wishlist" comes to mind, because there's a lot of insights in it about not just things he wants from life, but how he sees it.

    imo:

    thumbing my way
    the long road
    and sometimes.

    i think these give us a glimpse of what's inside the real ed and helps the connection between ed and the every day fan.

    but, In My Tree always struck me as somewhat autobiographical.

    Release seems so autobiographical and cathartic, especially given what we know about Ed and his family relationships.

    This is a great thread. It's changed my perspective on some songs.
    That's what I love about Pearl Jam and why I've been a fan for so many years. Their music is always changing form and I can find so many ways of relating to them.

    I like to think that "Porch", because it was in the beginning of Pearl Jam.....

    and then "Not For You" because it spoke of the craziness regarding being popular and famous..........

    also, I think (oh sorry, shoot can;t think of it's title.....) but the one about "hit me " oh is it "Save Yourself"? because well you know, talks about his life at the time it seems (just from looking outside in ;not knowing really).

    and also "Life Wasted" because it looks a lot like some hard thinking he had done at that time....

    but gosh a lot of the songs are so Eddie to me..........

    he is an awesome writer..........
    Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on The Creek......


    Together we will float like angels.........

    In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

    I would say Off He Goes could def be about him. I think the person he describes in the song sounds a lot like him. "Know one man, his face seems pulled and tense, like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds."

    I think Eddie would say that "Satan's Bed" best describes him. It's the kind of temptation that just follows him throughout his life and he battels with it continuesly. Torture.. Follows reward.. Follows torture...
