DtE is undeniably one of the best songs in the catalog.
BoJ is not only the best song on Yield but it would have been the best song on No Code if they had put it there.

Interesting. My favorite song on Yield is Push Me Pull Me, with No Way a close second but I think Given To Fly is the best song on the album. There's something special about the track, from Jack's soft, gentle and powerful surf-like drumming to Eddie's lyrics, telling a story vague enough it means different things to different people yet with enough specific imagery to supply a vivid framework.
It's an epic anthem within four minutes. And after that last powerful climax, eases back, the music simulating a powerful wave breaking and the tide moving back from shore. It's inspiring and I think it's the heart and essence of Yield.

Do The Evolution.
Brain of J's great but I think Evolution is better.

I like this post. I don't even know that i disagree. GTF was my favorite for a long while. BUT, and maybe this isn't fair to GTF, it does lose a little something because it's a great version of something Pearl Jam does really well, and that there are many great examples of (Breath, Alive, Rearview Mirror, Corduroy, I Am Mine, Amongst the Waves, Seven OClock, Waiting for Stevie, etc). Given to Fly is towards the top of that list, but it isn't singular in the way DTE is.Knabetnuom wrote: Wed May 13, 2026 1:53 pmInteresting.

Ha!
I mean, DTE might get overplayed, but even then it is still better than Brain of J.
