![]() Vs. (1993) [ larger cover art ] |
I will light a match this morning so I won't be alone.
Watch as she lies silent for soon light will be gone.
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam.
Oh, I will make my way through one more day in Hell.
How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?
I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm.
Oh, I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired.
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind.
Hey, I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.
How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune.
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room.
How much difference?
How much difference?
How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?

| fatcatjb (Sunny Sacramento) | Posted: Apr 17, 2013 - 09:02 I'm not usually much of a Pearl Jam fan but I really like this song! (I am not a big fan, but I admire PJ as a band and as a phenom. They have a huge fan base and 20+ years of work. What sounds good to me does not define a damn thing, and the fact that Bill thinks this makes the cut speaks volumes) |

Its nice to know bands like Pearl Jam can continue their existence without compromising their integrity. I used to feel the exact same way about the boys. However, with the release of Backspacer, and the obvious attempt to appeal to the masses (even though it meant compromising the quality of the music with the exception of a few tracks), not to mention the fact they just doubled the cost of their fanclub membership, I have been having serious doubts whether the original integrity they once had is still there and active. Seems I detect more than just a tad of selling out a little, as well as a touch of the green disease, unfortunately. (and this is from a long-time fan.) |

Love this song. But, if I had to choose between the two, I'd take Tori, and let Eddie go down with the ship.

When it came time for Neil Young to do his part, Foster kept telling him he was flat. Finally, Young told him "that's my style, man." Imagine, David Foster correcting Neil Young's pitch. |
