Dance of the Clairvoyants vs. Who Ever Said

Post by **stip** » Wed March 27, 2024 11:46 pm

I love Who Ever Said so much, and 'all the answers will be found in the mistakes that we have made' is one of my favorite lyrics.

But Dance is probably the best song Pearl Jam has written since Vitalogy, excepting DTE

Though, you may not be wrong. I'd have to think on it as i really think Grievance is top 3 for me and probably a couple others worthy of that discussion. But, DOTC is really up there.

Dance, going away.

WES, good as it is, shouldn't even be here.

Who Ever Said is my favorite Gigaton song. It gets my vote.

One bad ear and one eye blind
It takes a village but don't take mine
Living forward in a backwards town
I feed 'em drinks just to watch 'em drown
Swallow my pencil and bleed out my pen
Surrender the wish we'll be together again
But I won't give up
No I won't give up on satisfaction, satisfaction
Give up on satisfaction
Pull myself aside on a sleepless night
Sadness blurs, I'm in need of a light
Out of balance, balance, balance this time
I'm feeling fading calling as I'm falling out of sight
As the silence gets louder my heart gets pounding
And ventricles pumping, working overtime
Our freedoms fraught with danger being circumscribed
A life cut short and circumcised
A rubble of commandments from the road, step aside
A rumble of commandments in the road, step aside

Best part of the album IMHO!!!!.

If I'm not voting just to be contrarian, I have to vote for Dance of the Clairvoyants between the two, but it's not my favorite song on Gigagton.

I'll say it has a lot of merit for being a really well-captured mood that's rare for Pearl Jam (last song that's close would likely be You Are).

Cracks me up how many lyrics that is for what is a relatively small part of the song. Dude went to TOWN with words on Gigaton.
