Pearl Jam - Man of the Hour

"Big Fish" soundtrack & 2004's hits collection

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in may.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.

And the sky breaks at dawn; shedding light upon this town
They'll all come 'round
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seems along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now.

This song reminds me of my dad who passed away suddenly 7 years ago. I miss him so much :(

And yet I have people tell me his voice sucks...they must be crazy...whatever I guess. He's definitely in my top 5 all time though.

seriously

Just finished watching "Big Fish" and was touched by its raw emotion embodied in a twist of humor. It was like a story within a story that was told by a great story teller. I hit some highs and lows while watching this movie and recommend it to anyone that has the time to watch it. I recognized the voice at the end of the movie to be the front man for Pearl Jam and had to watch the credits to see if I was right. Sure enough "Eddie Vedder" was hit when I did a google for the "Big Fish" soundtrack

Just watched big fish for the first time. Absolutely mind blowing, most emotion I've ever felt from a movie. I still have chills.

goose bumps during both end of the movie and song separately

[Wayne Taylor]

cause the only reason people post this shit is to get top comment..so shut the fuck up.

[Chris Dobbs]

The day guilt hits you, and your heart cry's for forgiveness will be the day you realize you should have kept some things to yourself. God strikes down the mightiest of men do not forget that.

[Chris Dobbs]

I think your comment was awesome I know how you feel I lost a dog that meant a lot to me also. In your end you will see that your friend will be there waiting for his.

I'll have this at my funeral

[Emily Dawson]

I'm a senior in high school and a well-loved classmate of mine was killed in a single-car crash at the beginning of the school year. He loved pearl jam and this song played at his funeral, I never heard of the band until that day and now I listen to this song just to bring back his memory. r.i.p. Nick forever a part of the class of 2013-3
