There’s a story to this song. In June, 2000, tragedy struck when Pearl Jam played at the Roskilde festival in Denmark. During their set, nine people were crushed and killed when the crowd began surging forward. The band, understandably, was absolutely devastated by the event. They seriously considered quitting entirely. They struggled to move forward. But they did. And, apparently, Eddie Vedder wrote this song the night before their first performance after Roskilde. It was a reassurance, to themselves, that everything would be okay. Beautiful, meaningful lyrics.

Try the Pearl Jam song Inside Job if you want a longer song with deep lyrics.

I really love your way of feeling Pearl Jam’s music. I agree, lyrics are 100 % poethic. My english is not native, so sorry for maybe not expressing myself as I wish to. I recommend you PJ’s cover Love, Reign O’er Me (by The Who). It is AN extraordinary experience. Thanks and peace.
