Did you know that Just Breathe went platinum last year?

Post by lecherouslittlestump »

Pearl Jam's first platinum song (in the US). Does this make it their best selling song?

Based on streaming sites, 'Just Breathe' is as popular as Alive, Jeremy, Betterman and Black. Pretty impressive for a band 20+ years into their career to come out with a big hit.

I had more friends ask me about Just Breathe than anything they had done since Last Kiss; many of them were surprised there was still a Pearl Jam.

Is there an unpopular pearl jam opinions thread? Or is that this entire forum? Anyway, I like Just Breathe.

Just Breathe was the song for my first dance at my wedding. I don't really like it but my wife loves it.

The suicide squeeze and pitching is much sexier though.

The suicide squeeze and the safety in the NFL are among my favorites.

I remember when fair weather pJ fans (mid-years) would bitch about Ed playing guitar. I scolded these young lads and told them that some of their favorite pJ songs were actually written by Ed. Now, I wish Ed would put down the guitar, give Matt a hand-job in the bathroom, and let Stone and Jeff come up with something that doesn't sound neutered.

why do you stylize it as pJ instead of PJ or pj?

I think I saw stylized that way years ago…like early 90s...and kept doing it.
