Their best album closer, with Indifference second. Now (that I'm older), one of my top 5 PJ tunes

Sometimes I think it would be cool if there was a version of "Parting Ways" with Ed O'Brien on guitar and Phil Selway on drums, with really nice harmony vocals from Neil Finn, and then it occurs to me, "Wait a minute, there is a version of 'Parting Ways' with Ed O'Brien on guitar and Phil Selway on drums, with really nice harmony vocals from Neil Finn!"

There was a guy on the old board (Porchball maybe was his name?) who did a lovely cover of this.

The tension gets me everytime. Along with the subtle playing and the great lyrics and vocals.

Just love it.
That’s a really great description. :heartbeat:

Binaural is fucking exquisite.

That cover we were talking about is the best interpretation I've ever heard of a Pearl Jam song.

5 star song for sure. Really like the "volcano ready to explode at some point" reference in strat's post - this song just nails a certain kind of tension, like when a relationship begins to unravel.

Love that 7 Worlds Collide version. Pearl Jam should jam it out in the middle like that.
