Terrific song.
Vedder's voice works so well with these folk-type tunes.

Once I get past the fact that this is Eddie Vedder singing, I really like this song

Always dug this. One of those tunes where it seems like I know the guy in the tune's story...

Eddie Vedder is one of the few big rock "stars" who had remained genuine and genuinely decent and true to himself. I have a lot of respect for him. |

The lyrics and comments are very interesting.
I was never a Vedder or Pearl Jam fan until the "Into the Wild" soundtrack and ensuing comments here.
Pretty cool how RP can foster appreciation for artists that I never paid much attention to.

I used to hate Pearl Jam and as time has gone on I have developed such appreciation, especially after seeing into the wild and hearing that soundtrack.

Happy Listening!

Music lyrics are sometimes low but they make me think, not make me want to slit my wrists, nothing does. Don't think it , never do it. Celebrate life:) |
