Everyone sings this really loud on their own don't they regardless of how bad you sing.  Well everyone who was a grunge loving 80's teen anyway?

  And the cruelty of the person who dumped the story on him, ending with "so glad we talked."  A great song, like to sing it at volume driving on the freeway.

Isn't this song about child sexual abuse?
 
Actually, Vedder has said that this song is about a learning-disabled girl who suffers physical abuse because of her parents' impatience with her disability. When the "shades go down," the story shifts from the perspective of the outside observer to that of the girl's own narrative, the darkness of her inability to learn, and also the darkness of what goes on behind closed doors in her own home. Apparently the song is somewhat autobiographical, because Vedder has dyslexia and suffered some abuse from his stepfather because of his own impatience with Vedder's disability. There's a reference to his explanation of the song lyrics in a quote in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daughter_(song)#Lyrics), but since the source is from a book I couldn't find it elsewhere online; I do recall reading this same explanation in an interview with Vedder, in which he also discusses his own childhood and how this song ties into it, but cannot recall that source:

"The child in that song obviously has a learning difficulty. And it's only in the last few years that they've actually been able to diagnose these learning disabilities that before were looked at as misbehavior, as just outright rebelliousness. But no one knew what it was. And these kids, because they seemed unable or reluctant to learn, they'd end up getting the shit beaten outta them. The song ends, you know, with this idea of the shades going down-so that the neighbors can't see what happens next. What hurts about shit like that is that it ends up defining peoples' lives. They have to live with that abuse for the rest of their lives. Good, creative people are just fucking destroyed."

That's what the first verse was about. Eddie interpreted the lyrics in the second verse in this Rolling Stone interview with Cameron Crowe:

"The story of the song is that a mother is with a father and the father dies. It's an intense thing because the son looks just like the father. The son grows up to be the father, the person that she lost. His father's dead, and now this confusion, his mother, his love, how does he love her, how does she love him? In fact, the mother, even though she marries somebody else, there's no one she's ever loved more than the father ... Now the second verse is 'Oh she walks slowly into a young man's room... I can remember to this very day... the look... the look.' And I don't say anything else. And because I'm saying, 'The look, the look' everyone thinks it goes with 'on her face.' It's not on her face. The look is between her legs. Where do you go with that? That's where you came from."


Heavy stuff.

A 9 for PJ, and a 10 for Bill's typically extraordinary segue from Cake You Turn the Screws to this.

I have to say I've never understood the appeal of Pearl Jam either. EV's vocal style is just so affected (the Nickelback comparison is cruel but not entirely unfair). Having said that, what I heard of EV's soundtrack work for Into the Wild was relatively subdued and tastefu, as were Eddie's vocals on "I'm One" in a Who tribute of a few years ago. So, PJ = WTF? Recent Eddie = hmmm, not bad.

While I think they are awesome, I wouldn't say Pearl Jam is the best band ever. The competition for that is just too stiff (Beatles and Zeppelin (in no particular order) would be my top two bands of all time). As best US band ever, there's a lot of tough competition, also (Doors, Aerosmith, Allmans, etc., though not all of these would be on my list).

I'll just say that they rock, they're one of the best bands of the 90's, and leave it at that.
