Song of the Moment: Ghost

[darth_vedder]

I like You Are, but rhyming ooh ah, with you are is pretty unforgivable

I adore YA, but this is a fair complaint.

I actually agree with this too! But who cares, You Are is fucking awesome. It is my favorite RA track.

Yep. I mean sometimes, you just gotta put Ed lyrics to the side and enjoy the ride. I love Who You Are, even with the lyrics about moss and aforementioned verses.

I mean, Ozzy rhymes "masses" with "masses" in War Pigs, but that is still a great song.

I actually love that rhyme, because he uses two different meanings of "masses." Awesome.

Im not a big fan of that line in War Pigs its true, but the rest of the lyrics make up for it. I would have loved to hear classic Eddie sing this song. Stone or Mike...not sure who...puts 'quotes' from it into one of their songs (forget which one, alive?), so somebody likes it.

Ghost is 3rd on Riot Act behind Cropduster and Get Right. And right above Help, Help.

We are the same, you and I. Get Right, Cropduster, Ghost, and You Are are my top Riot Act songs. But I don't really hate any of that album.

Love You Are. Dammit, this band needs to include way more Matt songs on their albums.

[VinylGuy]

Yeah, You Are is fucking great.

Another one i had the luxury of seeing live.

[Leatherhead]

This song is so good. Please oh please Pearl Jam, more of this song made into other songs!

[LetMeSleep]

Wrong. The flow of Riot Act 1-6 is perfect.

And this song fuzzes me up nicely. It's grown from an album fav to a catalogue fav.

[coptheriotact]

Ghost is a top 5 song for me, Ive always loved the Cropduster > Ghost combo which was always called filler etc..

[dad]

that guitar tone fucking rules. and Matt's drumming during the bridge...hell yes.

[Ms Harmless]

dirty riffage, great song

[Jaeti]

This song has grown on me a lot over the years. It was one of my low points on Riot Act for a long time, but I really dig it now.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Jaeti]

That bridge solo is of my favorite solos in the catalog. Feels so off the cuff and just rips.

Yeah, I think that one day that part finally clicked with me in a new way, and then the rest of the song opened up, too. Just took a while.

pearl jam sucks now

[VinylGuy]

i also love the lyrics

It doesn't hurt when I bleed
But my memories, they eat me
I've seen it all before...
Bring it on, cause I'm no victim


thats badass
