Pearl Jam - Present Tense (New York '10)

[psusme1]

i get all teary-eyed and choked up when i hear this song... this was the BEST concert I have ever been to - maybe tied with Philly Spectrum 10/31/09... anytime these guys play MSG to the day i die - I will be there somewhere...

[blackcrow6667]

Why did they stop writing? Pisses me off that great bands do this.

[Shepherd492]

@blackcrow6667 They haven't stopped writing :) The new album is slated for some time in 2012, and they tour in either may or june (can't remember)

[countroshculla]

[Grauwegans1]

Best song ever by PJ

[Crystalship90]

2:38 - 2:41 ...chills

[steppenwolfsci]

This song was one of the songs they didn't play in Santiago last night, despite that, it was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in Chile.

Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?

 Leaning out to catch the sun's rays. A lesson to be applied.

[Catfaceization]

Why is Mike always in a hurry? Present Tense and Given to Fly, 2 of Pearl Jams best songs, Mike starts, and its so fast. Settle down Mike.

[SquallMonteZ]

@Catfaceization Yeah! You're right! And Even Flow too! In concert they put it too fast!

[khancharsi]

[RVMPT]

Present Tense (Lyrics) Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Vedder/McCready Lyrics: Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the sun's rays A lesson to be applied Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip? You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh Or you can come to terms and realize You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

[SECT404]

Have you ideas on how this life ends?

Checked your hands and studied the lines

Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?

Seems that needlessly it's getting harder

To find an approach and a way to live

Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh

Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

[snancy2008]

the sound of the bass guitar should be more clear and high at 3:30 !

[bubbamackdaddy69]

@snancy2008  I agree.... Jeff Ament rocks and people here on youtube can't really appreciate his stuff on this song

[majorkeybaree]

Well done NY. (clapping hands) If I could see PJ in NY I could Dye

[MrJimbob91389]

@majorkeybaree dye yourself pink?

[SECT404]

@majorkeybaree Get to NYC on the next tour and be sure to get tix for the second night. It's always better than the first!
