The first time I heard this song I was driving on Winchester St. in Keene NH. That must have been 92 or 93. It was on an alt rock station, the call letters of which I have forgotten since. It sent chills down my spine. I must have heard the song thousands of times since. Still get chills. My mind also goes right back to that area, which I have long since left, making me another statistic in those who left small towns--or small cities which Keene is--for South Florida.
This so reminds me of my hometown, population 600. There was one general store run by an elderly woman for 50+ years. They don't accept credit cards, but you can put stuff on your bill.
i cant put into words how much i love this song and the video gives us nostalgia that stretches back to before most of us were even born great song great video pearl jam will have their place in the HOF soon enough
I went into a store once out in the middle of nowhere, and there was an elderly woman behind the counter. She was scared because there were some tough kids in there and they were giving her a hard time. I came in just at the right time and they left. She lived all by herself in a room in the back. Very isolated and vulnerable, she was. I felt extremely sorry for her. That's my sad story.
I remmember watching this video back in 2007 and thinking I would find love one day and be happy..now im watching it in 2011 thinking the same thing lol.
This is probably my all time favorite Pearl Jam song. It is so... Unique. That's a good word for it. The images in this video really fit the song. Great video.
When I first heard "Time" by Pink Floyd, I thought that it perfectly summed up the idea that this song has - how things decay and change and fade over time. This is like "Time" except with the more magnificent vocals of Eddie Vedder rather than the beauty of David Gilmour's guitar. Both are synonymous to the same idea, which make them both such great songs.
I am not from a "small town" in this sense, but this is a great song. I live outside of Buffalo, NY ... a once major US city. I have also driven all over the country and seen a lot of small towns dying. It's very sad what is going on, the way our economy works all of us young people are basically forced to move to a new huge city like NYC or somewhere down south to find a job. I'm afraid the real American identity could be lost in the future to a few select enormous metropolitan areas
@rbe6f Unfortunately that's where I see our country headed, too. I go to school in... I guess you could call it a large town in a remote area, but I'm from a suburb of Chicago. And yes, given our economy, neither me nor any of my friends back home are motivated to stay there, although I have fond memories of it. I can relate to this song in a lot of way.
@rbe6f our governments way of getting us all in a populated area we are easy targets if we are all together....harder to find us in remote areas.....think about it.....
@rbe6f Funny thing about that is that Buffalo/Niagara was once considered to be developed as "Metropolis" by King Camp Giliette (the razor guy) where the entire country would live there and live off the power of the Niagara gorge. The rest of the country would be used to farm. That was around 1900 when Buffalo was one of the largest cities in the country. That would have put an entirely different face on the USA.
Part of my job includes traveling around Texas; I'm always reminded of this song as I drive through many dying small towns. The young people escaped as quickly as they could, while the older residents survive as best they can.
@deathjr277 Recently, as I was driving south of Odessa, this came on the radio just as I passed through a town with boarded up & abandoned buildings. Talk about life imitating art.
@ChargerRT440 I'm from West Texas, so I get to see alot of the small towns dying as well. Its sad to see, but just driving through them almost takes you back in time. Great song
@jeffkeeper01 You're spot on with that! I want to stop to look around & talk with locals about the history; time constraints keep me from always having that luxury though. I was in Monahans not long ago & saw the old abandoned Sunset Motel. I was told it folded after I-20 bypassed it. But that has happened nationwide with the highway system when travelers were diverted & many towns suffered because of it. And yes, a great song.
Beautiful imagery to go along with the music. Thank you. Brings back memories of my own life and makes me wonder of a time before my own. Much appreciated.
It's a sign of the quality of Pearl Jams music that this song and others like Black, for example, get regular radio airplay when they were never released as singles. This song reaches into your past no matter where you are from and pulls at your memories of growing up. If you have any ounce of nostalgia, you will understand this song. Eddie Vedder wrote a timeless classic with this song.
For some reason, this song reminds me of senility--elderly people forgetting their family, friends, loved ones... I don't know why, but that's what this song reminds me of.
....And then she sees him, and at first she doesn't even remember who he is, and then she realizes who it is. She's just too embarrassed to say 'hello"
"It's kind of about a lady, and she's getting on in years, and she's stuck in this small town. Small towns fascinate me: You either struggle like hell to get out, to some people want to stay 'cause then they're the big fish in the small pond, and then others just kind of get stuck there. So here she is working in this little place, and then an old flame comes in, and he's probably driving a nice car and looking kind of sharp—not a fancy car, but he's moved on....
This song took Eddie 20 minutes to write when he had slept in the studio and woke up with a guitar next to him. They recorded it that day. A song as good as this should take years to write
This song almost makes me cry every time I hear it. They opened with it when I seen them live and me and a couple of thousand other fan sung every word. You have no idea what it's like to hear all those people yell "For I'm not my Former"....just an amazing song.
@Kawasaki271 now im efin jelous dude i went to go see the guns n roses concert with danko jones opening for skidrow and skidrow opening for guns n roses and i met this guy at the concert and he got to go backstage with eddie dude i was mad lol
awsome tune, one of the best from Pearl Jam and funny how it's not one of thier more over played tunes, maybe itès the title itès so hard to request a song with a name like that.
the song is about 2 teenage lovers from a small town, he upped and moved to the big city she stayed behind, he returns many many years later, they are both very old, but somehow they still feel that connection as they did when they were kids. just my opnion
I think of the old men women who ran the corner stores around my neighborhood ( East Boston) that I took for granted that they'd always be there...till they were gone.
Makes me take more time to be nice appreciate people I meet in passing.
this song still gives me chills. reminds me of old friends and lovers. just thought about it yesterday. reminds me of the music we had in the 90's. my god its been so long, never dreamed u'd return!!!
Beautiful song by a beautiful band (and singer). :) I love that you set this to old time photos of children. It's perfect. Everyone was young once. Great job. And thank you.

This is the kind of song that can appeal across all music types. Whether someone is a rock fan, country fan, or one who prefers classical, folk or blues, it doesn't matter. This song will make anyone stop and think.

this is such a good song, eddie puts into words what so many people think, its not a sad song but it toches you and makes you think, not like the crap that people sing these days thats only round for 5 mins ,this song is timless.
when they play this song live its so awesome because everyone screams "HELLO!" with eddie. Man I miss PJ concerts.. gotta get back to another one soon..
no problem man, enjoy your first. Had my first PJ at Vancouver BC 2005. Opening show of the 2005 canadian tour! What a mind blowing show to "bust my cherry" as some other PJ fans put it.
No other live versions of this song on youtube? I wonder if they play this ong live a lot. It is soooo goood. I was hoping for more than just this version. oh well.
Wow I love this song, but I have misheard it hundreds of times until my dad corrected me. =) Its kind of odd, because you actually get the meaning of the song when you actually hear the song.
I must have listened to this song a hundred times over the years but never really thought about its meaning. It really sums up how I feel when I go back to my hometown. Thanks for enlightening me guy :-)

no problem man, enjoy your first. Had my first PJ at Vancouver BC 2005. Opening show of the 2005 canadian tour! What a mind blowing show to "bust my cherry" as some other PJ fans put it.

for some reason, the version on my Vs. is just eddie, acoustic guitar. However, they played a version similar to this in Missoula in 2005.

Wow I love this song, but I have misheard it hundreds of times until my dad corrected me. =) Its kind of odd, because you actually get the meaning of the song when you actually hear the song.

I must have listened to this song a hundred times over the years but never really thought about its meaning. It really sums up how I feel when I go back to my hometown. Thanks for enlightening me guy :-)

Im 37 years old, and used to write for the NME from 1989-1993. I reckon I must have seen over a thousand bands back in those days (paid to do so).
This is the only Pearl Jam song I ever truly dug.
