Except it does require imagination to make it awesome. It's a pretty song, I'll give you that, but Bluestate's right, the "Oh hymn" part is annoying. If that line wasn't the only one present in the verses, it would be more to my liking. Though, now that I think about it, it is rather odd for a Pearl Jam song to have a wordier chorus than the verse, no? That is a neat little subversion of expectations.

I don't know, it never sounded lyrically incomplete to me at all.

This is exactly what happened to me with Infallible. It's a good song, I just prefer the version in my head.
