Rob, you are dying ...and far away from me in miles and mind, but always in my heart..... I am stroking your hair...like you took care of me.... as you say, (said), "forever and a day..."
I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE can notice this.... But I bet 10.000 bucks that Eddie took PART OF the music from the BLACK BIRD by the BEATLES, listen to it carefully ... when he sings "slide up next to me"... Its the same melody as "black bird singing in the dead of night, take this broken wings and learn to fly, all your life, you were only waiting...and so on" Except its slightly modified, but its still there... Of course i dont mind him...
@SincereART It's 3 double note variations on a G Major chord, hardly unique to a song from the 60s... I can think of tons of songs that use the same chords. If you want a genuine example of plagiarism, Given to Fly sounds very like Going to California by Led Zeppelin. But Led Zeppelin outright stole some of their songs off others too.
Soundtrack k můj život má jen jednu píseň.Konec je soundtrack k mému životu. Myslím, že teď už víš proč .........
"I waited all day. you waited all day.. but you left before sunset.. and I just wanted to tell you the moment was beautiful. Just wanted to dance to bad music drive bad cars.. watch bad TV.. should have stayed for the sunset... if not for me."

Weird how I'm the only one to think this, but perhaps he's singing from his dad's point of view? "It's my fault now I've been caught a sickness in my bones"- his dad had multiple sclerosis. "I just hate to leave you here with the kids on your own"- his divorce.
To me this song is an apology to his wife and children. He was "Eddie Vedder" before he met his wife and now he has to continue to play the character as well as being a devoted husband and father to his 2 children. He now realizes that his time is running out to do both and this song tells his side of the story.
it´s amazing how a band can be even better after all those years!! Eddie, we are waiting for you hear in Brasil. I have to see this alive!! Then, i can die happy and in peace!!!

I am a 34 year old man, tough guy and a devout Pearl Jam fan. This is the the only song I have ever heard that makes me cry like a little fuckin baby. I mean tears actually flowing down my face, runny nose the whole pussy bit. Amazing song.
i wrote in an article in some magazine that this song was written after he thought about him dying... and as i'm a huge pj fan, i can surely tell ya, that he definately sings and plays from the heart. there's no acting. :)
my insinuation about eddie being an actor was purely ironic ; of course he's singing and playing from the heart, no doubt . Even in this performance, with a sore voice, it's so beautiful......
To oct4gon, yes only 185 views. If they want more fans, then how about making the new record available "to the masses" . I understand you guys don't like big companies, but big companies provide jobs for people, even ones who distribute RECORDS.
I've never been a rabid fan of any band but there's just something about PJ that resonates with me. You know a song holds up when the lyrics alone give you chills.
You know, PJ will go down in history among the best: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Eagle, I can go on. The quality of this writing (as is so much of their stuff) is timeless. Oh how great it would have been for Eddie and John Lennon to have met and collaborated!!
Its my fault, Now I been caught A sickness in my bones How it pains to leave you here With the kids on your own Just dont let me go Help me see myself Cause I can no longer tell Looking out from the inside of The bottom of a well I yell Its hell But no one hears
Slide on next to me Im just a human being I will take the blame Bust just the same This is not me You see Believe Im better than this Dont leave me so cold Or buried beneath the stones I just want to hold on And know Im worth your love Enough I dont think Theres such a thing
not alot of ppl know that they played in austin. i knew. i really wanted to go but wasnt able to. i love pearl jam. this song proves that they better with age.
