alotta pearl jam riffs are taken from cue's on classic rock records.. ex. this is mostly from going to california i guess... and yellow ledbetter being from hendrix's little wing
@organbank thats great, im sure your cousin would appreciate it. Its awesome music in every aspect,,, sometimes i feel pj are the only reason im still here... i owe them a lot..
Just thought I'd point out that it's kinda neat how mature the Pearl Jam audience is. So far no one has spelled like they were a 12 year old dosed up on too much sugar.
Anyway, I love this song, it certainly makes you feel good, and it's not a song that makes you embarrassed to say you like it. :)
On your first point, it can probably be said with a good deal of confidence that most of this audience you speak of have never heard of Pearl Jam in the first place. That isn't necessarily a bad thing :).
I honestly think it has a way way better feel than going to california...and at least for me it was really really hard to see the similarity between the two songs....anyway GIVEN TO FLY is one of the best PJ songs definitely..
loooove it

As of now, you'll have to take a listen to "Just Breathe" off of their newest album. That beats this out for "brightest-sounding" PJ song.

Pearl Jam is at their best when they play with the musical elements of 'tension' and 'release' like they do in this song.
