Thanks for writing this. We played this song at my dad's wake, and it was perfect.

To you maybe, my friend, but to me and many many others, this is sublime....

Peace

I've seen her mentioned in the past tense a few different times...  I'm really sad to hear that she left us, we messaged back and forth a couple times.  

Does anyone know what happened? 

God this is bad.

I'm hoping her wishes were honored. You are missed Cynaera.

I'm loving Pearl Jam more with every song I discover.  This one has me in tears... When I die, I don't want a funeral. Cremate me, scatter my ashes in Lamoille Canyon and save a handful to plant with a new garden that must be maintained (although if I'm dead, I won't know whether a garden ever got planted, so I'm counting a lot on trust here.) 

This stupid song prompted me to confront my brother with what to do with our parents' ashes (yes, we still have them.)  After much discussion, we decided that the rest of the family (a sister, a niece, a nephew) won't give a rat's spats what we do with the ashes because they each got their little half-a-cup full of ash to do with what they wanted. (Gruesome and creepy, really.)

So - bro and I decided that once the growing season is over and stuff is due to be cut back, we'll rototill the garden area, plant our parents' ashes (sans containers) in a special place in the garden, and then have a stepping-stone to mark the place. If their ashes enhance the soil, great. If they don't, it's still good, because Mom and Dad lived in this house for over 40 years, so it's their ground. They should be laid to rest where they were most at home - at home.

I hate Pearl Jam for making me go into this before I was ready.... I love Pearl Jam for the same reason.

Well said.

Eddie can sign Jiggle Bells and it would be interesting

God this is bad.

You are a zombie?  Cool!

I liked this to be played at my funeral.

Yeah, and then I'd kick 'em in the gut.
Eddie Vedder ruins PJ, which is otherwise a good band.
I don't like most of their stuff, but even the ones I like (like this one) are annoying to listen to b/c of his voice.

Like many who have commented, I am not a big Pearl Jam fan, but I really love this song and loved Eddie Vedder's solo work on the movie "Into the Wild". 

I liked this to be played at my funeral.

Once you put this song with the movie, you will never hear it the same way again. Its tough to listen to without getting emotional.

here it is...

i like pearl jam's music, and hate eddie vedder, but like eddie vedder's solo stuff more than pj's (which makes me hate eddie vedder even more). yeah, that's right.

side note: i sold all my pearl jam albums about 5 years ago after a super b.s. pearl jam concert, and still would never buy a p.j. or e.v. album ever again based solely on that show. never bought e.v. solo album in the first place. i'll even go one further and say: f temple of the dog. i dig temple of the dog, and cornell is my favorite rock singer ever, but e.v. is bitch.

end of rant.

It’s strange but I can almost instantly tell when a tune is Pearl Jam and almost instantly dislike it.

I really have given them every chance I can but really just don’t like them.

Strangely enough I do like some of Eddy Vetters solo stuff.

Pretty cool song from a very under-rated movie. I loved "Big Fish!" Danny Elfman actually found the original creepy "hillbilly banjo player" from the film Deliverance and cast him in a cameo in Big Fish. A few others, too.

Yeah, and then I'd kick 'em in the gut.

Usually I like PJ, but at times like this I wonder who told Eddie he could sing. I'd love to punch that person in the nose.
