One of their great songs, along with Yellow Moon, Swallowed Whole, Pendulum, Severed Hand, Comatose and Inside Job, maybe a BS tune, this one keeps Pearl Jam relevant to true music fans, unless one isn't into it of course...

I like this song a lot. I'm kind of amazed at the love it's getting here.

PJ made some pretty good tunes before 2006, too. You should check some of that out.

I love this song and don't know why it doesn't seem as popular as it should be. This song is great it just floats along like a real parachute and Im along for the ride.

You're right for once, this is a wonderful song. It's probably the most acclaimed S/T song on here tho.

I don't even remember my post a few up but I agree with the sentiment previously in this thread. This song imo is better than any song that came afterwards.

great song. Only complaint is the song ends just as its peaking. Maybe that's not a bad thing after all.

Even my wife likes this song. Has aged really well too, which is more than I can say about most of S/T.

I’d love to see this song at a show with you so you could get me a beer while this plays.

I recently listened to Pearl Jam/avocado straight thru and it really is a good album.

This song is the first breather/change of pace and it's great.

Probably the only song I really like off that album. Such a weird change of pace but welcome one.
