aparently the words "around the bend" came from kew, melbourne..where mental asylums were..the streets are in a bending shape.. I have recently come from that bend, worked there and feel i got sent around the bend. This song make me feel good. I worked in palliative care.. this music makes everything nicer :)
I swear on everything, even God that i wrote a letter to Pearl Jam back in middle school around 1993, and i asked them to write a song called "Around the bend" Believe me or not, there's a song around the bend, he' says it in the lyrics. As i sit here and reflect what this song says and means to me, it is that anyone can make their voice be heard.!! Thank you Pearl Jam for the great music and the inspiration. You have given me a gift like no other, and ill never forget it!
A long time ago I used to program my CD player to play all the mellow stuff from No Code on rotation to fall asleep to. I got to "Off He Goes" usually and I was gone, but now and again I stayed awake just to hear this song. Wonderfully brilliant album and this is an excellent song.
I read that the lyrics where written as an exercise in double meaning.. a lullaby for Jack Iron's new child and the last thing a serial killer would say to his victim. Give it another listen with that in mind. If this is true, well done, Ed.
as i sit here starring at the clouds dance above me...as the sun goes down....i listen to this song and just smile and realize that life could be worst......so as long as i can see the clouds and hear the birds sing around me....life could be worst...
driving around my quiet mtn town at night, full moon, slowly cruising from place to place a little pot, maybe a drink, maybe a downer or two, when this song comes on the radio (this station plays 3 pj songs every night) but when this song comes on, life just seems complete... complete to the point of being surreal, it is like a movie and i am the main charecter
@Joefonzgoldenarms sounds beautiful. I've always loved my mountain drives after smoke grass and a few sips of methadone. AHH, what a soothing atmosphere.
don't hate ...everyone is free to decide....everything pearl jam stands for is freedom ......so even those who hate are entitled...so take the music only for what it means to you....and you alone cause it means something else to some one else......keep the peace
i hate when people compare pearl jam with creed. Pearl jam is one of the best bands ever. i like them way better then nirvana. no code and vitology are the best cds ever. If you notice every cd is so different but still very good. no code was their best cd by far imo.
hmm i agree, but i put in binaural with those two albuns. creed? well we talk about pearl jam, or nirvana (very different band, just dont compare) or radiohead, or the smiths, whatever, true band, real music, creed? creed is a...product
Your, totally right! They're different sounds. Eddie has a different voice than Scott.. their musical styles are different.. Who came up this comparison??
i adore the music my father listened to becuase its not like today with all these pointless shouting and screaming that yuo can understand anything from it ...so thats why i listen to soft music and stuff but i do enjoy some hard rock and metal now and then... Ill tell you one thing in my opinion there is no bad music ,all types are great, it just depends on the type you are looking for.
I love Pearl Jams Diversity Every albumn has contrasts Ten - Once/Oceans Vs - Go/Indifference Vitalogy - Spin the Black Circle/Nothingman No Code - Habit/Around the Bend Binaural - Breakerfall/Soon Forget Yield - Brain of J / Wishlist Riot Act - Save You / All or None Pearl Jam - World Wide Suicide/ Come Back .And mant shades in between. Got my delux edition Ten reissue yesterday...another chapter in the beautiful Story we are all fortunate enough to bare witness!PEARL JAM
the album was dissed becuz, the fair weather fans of pj were expecting another album like TEN or Vitalogy, this album had balance of music playing, the lyrics had substance too.. like Present Tence is my fav song too.. LONG LIVE PEARL JAM!
It's an album with a great mix of sounds, a lot o people hate this album, the reason? i don't know, maybe they like a hard music, but this album got the two sides, the soft sound like this song and strongs guitars like in Red Mosquito.
I don't see why people hate riot act. Nice sound, nice songs tat don't stand out but are perfect for that album. Riot Act and Binaural are heavily underrated. I think No Code is really nice, but there are some songs I can't get into.
I so dig these hyperactive artists in their mellower moments including neil young's 'harvest moon'...not to say I disregard their more emphatic material...damn this song is crazy-good!

Everytime I hear this song, I think of it as a lullaby. It's so soft and gentle.
It goes good with quiet rainy days.
PJ has such wonderful range. Not many could pull this one off. They make it look easy.

Nirvana's music is a little too depressing, in some songs. Or should i say, loud? Either way, Pearl Jam seems like the perfect type of music for me
