Immortality vs Hail Hail

Post by **stip** » Fri April 25, 2025 12:02 pm

Two of their most reflective songs - one in a more traditional presentation, though done as well as it is possible to do (Immortality), the other more surprising. But though they are both head songs, Immortality also ends up with a lot more heart. It is lost, forlorn, but it uses its body to cover that last dying ember of hope. Is it pearl jam's best song? I don't think so, but unlike Hail Hail I wouldn't argue with someone who said it is.

Probably the two best Pearl Jam songs, a fitting final.

Never even thought of them in the same space. That’s a mad thought
Trying to pick one and on the surface impossible.

But hail hail
