Just Breathe of course had moderate success though. I got several compliments from friends on that along with "I thought they broke up?"

I believe Just Breathe is their biggest selling song in the States. Bigger than Last Kiss or Jeremy.

It probably could have been an even bigger hit if they gave it a proper video and did more promo for it.

I get it. You’ve chosen not to enjoy the song. It’s cool.

I was trying not to "classic B" you but you're leaving me no choice

I thought it was a funny and obviously ridiculous response to something a small child would say, and I ran it by Thejambi before posting to make sure it was cool. Thanks for reading my post

‘Well, son. When a mom and dad love each other very much, and want to make a baby as the good lord commands, the dad lies on top of the mom and rubs her sacred flower garden woth his spirit cone until the spirit comes forth in the form of a precious white liquid. Which the dad then scrapes into the spirit cone and rubs it onto the sacred lady garden in Order to plant the seed for the baby to grow in. And then of course the dad washes his hands very carefully ‘.

Jon Pareles, NY Times wrote:Introducing “Gigaton,” its first studio album since 2013, Pearl Jam has come up with what might have happened if Talking Heads had invented grunge when they made “Speaking in Tongues.” The beat is funky, jabbed by jumpy rhythm guitar, and Eddie Vedder’s vocal lines hop all over the place, leaping an octave or arguing with themselves in staccato bursts or turning to sustained melody: “Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore/When the past is the present and the future’s no more.” Even if its references are obvious, Pearl Jam is clearly pushing itself.

Coulda' helped me up

My favorite part right now.

I'm probably reading into this wrong. But a lot of these lyrics, to me, seem to be about the band not being happy with the way things have been going and so just kinda letting Ed do most of the work, and he was drowning because of it and were tearing him down by laying the blame on the leader of the band. Rather than voicing their concerns and grievances with the band, they just stayed quiet about it and basically gave up. Maybe it wasn't just Ed that's been the problem, but rather communication between them all.

The song is about Donald Trump
