PJ music is full of images!

What do the songs mean to you? Pearl Jam's lyrics and interpretations here.

PJ music is full of images!

I like the picture of the homeless man who can't stop laughing (dark grin) when he's happy (Even Flow). It's a very surrealistic scene that we all have experienced at one time or another. Tragicomic but true. Can you think of other images derived from PJ songs?
Ooh, yeah! All right!
Were [Pearl] jammin
I wanna [Pearl] jam it wid you.
Were [Pearl] jammin, [Pearl] jammin
And I hope you like [Pearl] jammin too.

That strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly.

I imagine my father as that spot - now that cancer came crashing like a fist to the jaw and delivered him wings.

That whole song totally changed meaning when my dad died a few years ago.

Another reason to love their music and how it can change throughout time depending on where you are with things. (For them too, as Ed has said about 'Alive' and the transformation its meaning had for him.)

Rusted signs, left just for me. He was guiding me his own way.

"I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
And in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass.."
"...And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show."

Crazy Mary

What was does the road bend?

It has always gone straight ahead from my feet and bent to the left. My dad's head has always made it bend to the right.
