remember whemn i first heard this it was like a page rip out of my life story then heard the whole album and was floored the album changed my life THANKS :)
pearl jam forever . i cant start the day with out them . pearl jam has changed my life for the better . i started listing to them when they first came out i was 4 or 5 and been listning ever since and will always listem to pearl jam . what i like about them is the songs all have a meaning to them . u cant find this any more . pearl jamforever . keep up the amazing work guys .
Wow. I heard this song before, but I didn't know who it was by. Then I got into Pearl Jam, and now I know. This is the second song I heard from them before, the other was Alive.
@bobbob12g play in clear tone not distortion till the chorus.. then clear again . but really u should find your own way of expressing this song. thats what bering a muscian is all about!!!=D gl keep practicing
At this moment, I can picture it. It's why I sought out this song. Ain't it a bitch when you KNOW you're the better man? It's a shame she'd rather take the easy way out with a manipulative bastard than put forth the effort to change things.
@rudyrudyrudy7 I am a fat old man, you wouldn't really like me ' but thanks for the offer. Your a sweet heart and I hope you find that better man. Peace and Love
yes, here in portugal one guy sang this music. he is the better in idols. he sing very very good. please listen to Filipe. high and dry - filipe idolos/ nirvana Lithium - filipe idolos/ don't look back in anger - filipe idolos/ ouvi dizer - filipe idolos/ Sweet Child O'Mine - filipe idolos
Yes it was in Portugal where this guy performed it, in his own way without imitating, and everyone , or at least almost everyone, got amazed with his voice. It was during the Idols casting.
But NOTHING beats the original, even if I was one of those who enjoyed alot Filipe performance (thats his name).
É engraçado como de um momento para o outro toda gente conhece os pearl jam. Pois eu conheço a banda de Seattle desde o seu inicio, o vocalista chama-se Eddie Vedder.
realmente! Quando ele apareceu nas audiçoes e cantou pearl jam eu fiquei OMG e agr nao se fala noutra coisa, e so pearl jam praqui e prali.... As influencias
the last "Can't find a better man" is actually "Can't find a pelican" just listen closely it is pretty funny. And if you dont believe me go to google and look up the lyrics!
I think people misinterpret this song. A local DJ in my area said without any irony, "this is such a happy song," after this played. A friend said this was played at a wedding. Anybody who listens to the lyrics can't get a positive image from the lyrics.
Yeah, thank you! Sheesh, I'm tired of people thinking this a happy song! This woman doesn't love the man she's with but she can't find anything better. Now tell me how that's happy...
The next time I sing this I'm going to put the word "don't " in front of "take no more." I find the memory of this phrase escaping me because the meaning is a bit obscured, in the sentence the way it is.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm the better man... even when I'm drunk and I stole my own car... even when I need bail... even when I get caught copulating with myself...and she forgives me
I have my own personal interpretaion of this after being in a relationship with someone, its about feelings dying to such an extent that you stay with someone out of sheer fear of being alone with the thought that some day the spark'll come back. but it doesn't and it ends up being cruel for both people involved to still be in it eventually and it ends. to me thats what it means
i believe its the man who's cheating on her "its four o clock...pretends to sleep" i believe it means 4 a.m. and he just got back from another woman thats why she pretends to sleep like she doesnt know and she wants to leave
i think it's just about a man beating on his woman one too many times. she LIED and says she's in love with him? CAN'T FIND A BETTER MAN? easy. love this song
i would have to disagree and say that its about a girl that is on the rebound. "swears she knew it and now she swears he gone" she is with a guy she knows she doesnt love cuz she is on the rebound.
Since the song is about an abusive relationship, I believe that the word "red" resembles living in 'hell' or 'hurt'. Since when you think of hell, the colour red comes to mind.
is this song about domestic VIOLENCE?
