Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the Earth reaches the Sun
Now, the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?
Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Woo
I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine?
Ah, yeah
Uh, woo-hoo
Man that is an easy TEN.
ELEVEN from me!!!

Quote from Jeff:
I have to be able to feel the bass. I've worked hard with our producers to make sure that when you play our records on your stereo, you can feel the bass. You might not necessarily be able to hear it all the time, but if you turn it up you can feel the movement in the low end—that it's moving the song. And when it's not there, it should be creating a dynamic.
*I wish I could have said that when I was in radio...
Damn! I was late liking this band. I hate missing liking bands when they're together.
GOOD NEWS!! They are STILL TOGETHER , touring & recording new tunes!

Well, you are in luck!!! They are still together & touring!!! GREAT TUNE!!!
Quite possibly the best rock song of the 90s and top 10 best rock songs ever!
ah ah ah ah !!!
I wish I were heart-broken and sing this line, "i know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?"
Understanding that it's your wish, I disagree.

Longue vie!
One of my favorite concerts was seeing Pearl Jam from front row center seats at the Great Western Forum in LA in '97. It pays to join fan clubs and get first crack at the tickets. Tenacious D opened for them. I caught a pick Jack Black tossed into the crowd. Good times.
Shits on empty canvas...
A W E S O M E !
Rating to me 8 - Most Excellent BUT WEAK
Dude... You're the one claiming to possess a horcrux.
That's the best part IMHO
Ahahahahahah! You made my day, thanks!
Obviously you never listened to any of those bands, right?
Nevermind was a production failure, making that kind of music 'shiny' just doesn't work. Incesticide is much better in that respect.
I'm not sure if "production failure" is the right term - that album sold around 30 million copies worldwide.
Your post leaves me somewhere between
and
Very harsh and crude...but often true. Occasionally Eddie's voice fits the music and lyrics perfectly but not that often.
Hey, at least he wasn't into ukuleles at this point in his career.
I remember being more taken with this album that Nevermind back in 1991.

Amen.
Godlike every time !
I agree. Still one of my all-time favorite guitar/piano riff endings!
Mine too, mine too...
Spread ! New age pilgrims let's go rubbernecking.
Pretty, Let's go get that big fish from local fish story,
Please, let's at one point wonder, can we wolf down all in two.
We sleep in bungalows, and even the air around us we remember.
Back to spreadsheets as serenaded by Eddie Vedder.
I just bought PJ 10 so I could add it to my Nano ($6 at Amazon!, you get the digital for free if you buy the CD). I deleted this song, and Alive, from my playlist right off the bat. Oh yeah, forgot to say I deleted Evenflow too.
You'll regret that someday,my boy.
For the most part I don't like Pearl Jam's stuff, or Eddie's singing. But the few songs featuring his voice that I like, I love. This is one of them. The last stanza really hits home.

Exactly! I've just shared this and wrote "Anytime, anywhere"
Well, this is not true for every listener....
Yeah, I have nearly all of Pearl Jam on my ipod. Never listen to it anymore.
RIP Mr Casem, thanks for all the fun you brought to my childhood and many of the years since.
did you all know that he did the voice for Shaggy in the 70's/80's Scooby Doo series?
THE best in my opinion!

Same here, but it was Radio Paradise that made the introduction for me.
I've heard it said that one has only the capacity to juggle a finite number of activities at any time, raising kids definitely qualifies as a double or triple time effort.
That is really interesting when you think of it because I know I do and prolly at lot of us take it for granted that we all think these hit songs are familiar to everyone. Much of the 60s music played here is new to me. I am sure to those who were in school at the time take it for granted the music is known to younger folks like me.
As a 50 something year old, I missed PJ when they hit the scene, busy raising kids and all. My daughter burned me a copy of "10" for my 40th birthday. I have been a fan ever since, great album, great band, great musicians. I love Eddie's solo work. Not sure why the angst, I guess it is some people’s nature.

So much kissing careful not to get cooties

That's how I feel about it, too.
I find Vedder's later solo work to be superior to his Pearl Jam days. Would much rather listen to his Into the Wild soundtrack than this overly dramatic song.
Well then you'd have to toss out about 75% of music based on your "overly dramatic" criteria. Understatement has its place, as does dramatics.

While I am a huge Smiths fans I can easily see why people don’t like them. However to say their stuff its 'repetitive muzak' I don’t understand.
So funny -- I find the exact OPPOSITE to be true! I would say;

I guess that means I better shut up now. Thanks for the info.
It still moves me, and I've heard this song live almost 20 times and the record version thousands of times.
Well, we now have the quite innovative PSD, the greatest invention since sliced bread IMHO. Let's hope RP is monitoring the PSD count. I'd like to see the PSD count posted on every song beside the rating.
Again, to repeat, this song is one of the best ever. I mean that. But at some point you just don't wanna hear it no more.

One of the hardest lessons that any teen has to learn is that love, no matter how strong someone feels it, it's the right kind of love unless someone returns it. If the person can't love you back the same way, then it isn't love worth having.
If I could have made my 15 year old self understand that, my teenage years would have been a lot less miserable. Effin' girls messing with a lonely teenager's heart just about broke an early me.
Only time and distance (literally, I moved about 250 miles away) has given me the perspective to see that.
It's funny, as a teenager I knew everything but clearly didn't understand anything.
