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.

"Could teach your kids with the lyrics!" Spot on mate. The lyrics, since the 90s, have taught me, my kids and grandkids so much. Awesome get!

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.

SUGGESTION, PEARL JAM "LOVE BOAT CAPTAIN" SAME SET. IT'S ABOUT THE 9 FANS THAT DIED WHILE PEARL JAM WAS PERFORMING, EDDIE EVEN MENTIONED IN THE SONG. IT HAPPEN JUNE 30TH 2000 AT ROSKLIDE. IT DEVASTATING TO PEARL JAM, THEY ALMOST CALLED IT QUITS BUT THE BAND THE WHO ENCOURAGED THEM TO KEEP GOING. IT ALSO HAPPEN TO THE WHO WHERE FANS DIED. OR VH1 DID A TRIBUTE TO THE WHO AND PEARL JAM PERFORMED REIGN O'VER ME AND THE REAL ME IT'S INCREDIBLE!! PEARL JAM NEVER DISAPPOINTS. MY FAVORITE BAND ON THIS CRAZY PLANET!! SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS I CAN'T SEE VERY WELL SO I APOLOGIZE. AWESOME REACTION DEAR! 😊💓🔥🤘✌️
