Can the word sound
till you've been down so low
The future's bright,
lit up with no where to go,
to and fro the pendulum throws

We are here and then we go
my shadow left me long ago

Understand what we don't know
this might pass
this might last
this may go
easy come and easy go
easy left me a long time ago

I'm in the fire but I'm still cold
nothing works works for me anymore

ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhh
to and fro the pendulum throws

Pearl Jam came on the the scene with Ten like a runaway freight train. they evolved and have kept evolving in good ways. I think this is a GREAT TUNE!  Thanx RP!

I like this song, but really  just wanted to say that this set has had some mighty fine transitions from song to song.  Each song flows into the next in mood, style, and effect. That's why this is my favorite station.

That slow burn and those cryptic lyrics. So good.

Killing the positive message with an imbedded negative one.
"I like this song"  would have sufficed.
The original comment gives more info - they are not a Pearl Jam fan but like this song. A valid comment in my book.

Then I'm thinking it must be the only PJ song that you've heard.
Do yourself a favour - go buy a couple of records.  You'll like them.

But that would not have been sufficient to express their disapproval of the rest of Pearl Jam's material, which seems to have been the primary ambition for their post.

are people not getting that the narrator here is missing something she never had. Much like the desert never had water (or hadn't in a million years, I'm not a geologist)

She admits she "can't move on", the lyrics show she never had this person.

"I look up at your house, and I can almost hear you shout down to me, where I always used to be."

the guy (or whomever) clearly did not want to have this person in their life.




still, love this song!
 
Hi MediaGrrl, looks like this posted to Pearl Jam and not your intended Everything But The Girl tune...

I just bought a Wadia 321 DAC and I am demoing a RogueAudio Tube Preamp.  The Wadia was a huge overall improvement for all things digital.  The Tube amp sounds good on somethings and questionable (for me) on others.  

The way this song sounds on the Tube set up makes me want throw down cash for it now.

The only flaw to this beautiful and haunting song is the abrupt ending. Wished it lasted longer with a better finale.

I bought the delux vinyl of this Album.  Cost me some coin but it was totally worth it.{#Good-vibes}

Any chance of playing Buttercup by Brad?

Intriguing lyrics, meditative percussion... I'm surprised by how dark and vulnerable this track is for PJ. Really diggin' it

I kind of glossed over PJ in the grunge days. Wasn't really my thing and radio overplay didn't help. But now when I hear some of the B-side stuff I am intrigued. This is a pretty great son, and then I see it is from a new album? Need to take a closer look at PJ, definitely.

way cool voice, imo!   Vedder has the ability to season the groups' music to a consistently great sound   Happy New Year All!

Wow, 

What a great seque from Sivert Hoyem to this track by Pearl Jam... really fits and keeps the mood going.   Love RP. Thanks Bill and Rebecca
Posted 11 years ago by gusthemonkey    [ Reply ]
Good song.  Thanks for playing, RP.  Looking at the comments, there are a surprising number of PJ/Vedder haters.  Personally, I've always been a fan of both.
Posted 11 years ago by AbileneTexas    [ Reply ]
I still think 'Siren' is the best track from this album.

However, as a weather fanatic, I really like the album title!! {#Umbrella}

Very cool... haven't enjoyed PJ in quite a few albums... this is heading in a good direction.

I usually change the channel as soon as I hear Eddie Vedder's voice but I like this song.

I just don't get PJ - why would anyone listen to them if there was ANY other choice?  Oh, wait...  there is another choice...  like 1,000,000 of them at any given moment...

Would be better if Eddie could actually, you know...sing. 

Sometimes his limited abilities actually work with the song. Not this time. Interesting sound for Pearl Jam though.

More crap from PJ.   Thank goodness for the PSD button

The album cover reminds me of the head of one of those cute little minions from Despicable Me...except it's red...and has lightning bolts making it look rather angry.

Don't know what to make of the song yet.
