I hate this song. I think this song is so awful and boring. I don't get it at ALL. I love Pearl Jam's beautiful and slow songs but this song isn't beautiful its just plodding and boring.

nothing disappoints me more than hearing this song open a bootleg. Its like...'next'

I legit think this song has no redeeming qualities there isn't one part I like. Maybe the part where he says 'down down down down' or something.

I don't get why people find this song to be good, I just don't get what I'm not hearing in it.

kill yourself asap

[PHATJ]

Mikejasond strikes again.

[Jorge]

It's not a super exciting composition, but it still gets me

[Norah]

I love that d.

[stip]

Used to be a 4 for me. Now a 3.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

It's supposed to sound like a church bell ringing slowly on one note like when someone dies.

That's why it plods along, you heartless cunts.

love this tune. the first pj song i ever saw live.. for that and other reasons, it's pretty special to me.

however, i'm not a fan of the way eddie's been singing it oh.. the last 6-7 years or so, where he feels the need to "go big" at the end. no need for that.

but that's a nitpick.. still love hearing it at shows

god-tier. would vote higher than five if I could.

[Iholdthepain]

This song makes me so goddamn emotional!

Just heard the story of how it was written again (7/7/06 San Diego). What an amazing story...

Also, Hartford 2013, after the Sandy Hook tragedy...

the televised benefit for New Orleans after Katrina with Neil and Mike...

I love this fucking song!

[Norah]

Wasn't the Neil and Mike thing a 9/11 benefit?

[Iholdthepain]

Yeah, whatevs...

[Leatherhead]

Get stoned. Maybe put on some headphones, or go for a drive, and just listen. Stop worrying about judging everything so much.

This is simple part might be my favorite in all of the catalog:


I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today

[PHATJ]

4 Stars from me. Very good, but not one of PJ's best.

[daft twat]

Love it. I've said it before, but the Chicago 2009 version was amazing.

[evenslow]

[Monkey_Driven]
