i watched that guy on youtube teach the opening riff. it's pretty great. something about it still reminds me of 'black', but also 'breath' more obviously. i havent even looked at the chords b/c someone on here pointed out everything is in weird tuning and i'm still trying to figure out e standard lol

The chords I'm using are in standard tuning from Ultimate Guitar

I think this playlist finally has a fifth song

Even Flow
Alive
Black
Jeremy
Waiting for Stevie

Waiting for stevie is a cool thematic response to Jeremy

i already like this song more than jeremy

David Karl Krusen should’ve taken drums on this one.

This song kicks way too much ass

That couldn’t be more wrong

Dave K’s sweet spot would be unspeakable here. He played Alive better than anyone. Isn’t that song fairly similar to this one?

The bridge would be different. Matt’s talent is really evident there.

The end of the song would have been a challenge but i think K would nail it. His playing maybe even could’ve brought out more feel from Mike. Could you imagine?

No

his drumming on the end of porch is the closest to it. I think Matt drives it in a way Dave K would not have. it would be interesting because it would be different, but this is one of matt’s best performances I think

Matt’s fill bringing everyone back in from the middle section into the verse precludes thoughts of any other drummer playing on this. Absolute perfection.

i try to listen to this song every day on the way to work. perfect way to start the day

By far the best part of the song.

Almost the first thing I said when I first heard it -- you can almost hear Chris singing it.

When the album first came out - I couldn't stop playing this song
Needed some space from it, so I purposely skipped it and avoided it
Yesterday, I put it on for the first time in weeks...
Whoa !! still a banger of a song !!
Easily my favorite on the album
Easily the best song they have released in 25 years

Isn't this the song where Andrew Watt was "jumping up and down" in front of the kit pushing Matt to give everything he had? Honestly, that one little bit of info made me love Wotman.

Top Ten Pearl Jam song for me and sky’s the limit.
