That man has written some pretty strong lyrics. ;)

I was listening to "Light Years" the other day and thinking it's a shame more people aren't familiar with this song.

i've used hammers made out of wood
i have played games with pieces and rules
i undeciphered tricks at the bar
but now you're gone, i haven't figured out why
i've come up with riddles and jokes about war
i've figured out numbers and what they're for
i've understood feelings and i've understood words
but how could you be taken away?
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars
with heavy breath, awakened regrets
back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together..
but we were miles apart
every inch between us becomes light years now
no time to be void or save up on life
you got to spend it all..
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars

 

"no time to be void or save up on life
you got to spend it all.."

That is one of the most awesome lines I have seen!

I also think that if people actually listened they would actually realise that  ;DPearl Jam's albums post Vitalogy are hugely underrated, I mean alot of bands would be hugely envious of Pearl Jam's discography....Including the mighty My Morning Jacket!

heh, you can hear some PJ sounds in two MMJ songs

run thru and gideon

Absolutely, lots similarities to Ed's vocals from Gideon...Very In my Tree like with some Given to Fly and also Hard to Imagine.

But then again there is also some U2, radiohead and The Who sounds as well.
