Pearl Jam is definitely not a band you will see on this blog often, if ever again. But this is a song that I just had to share. No matter what kind of music you listen to, I feel this is a song anybody can jam to and appreciate.
It's drum heavy and extremely mellow, well, until the guitar kicks in and Eddie Vedder starts wailing. I have no idea what Vedder is even howling, but it puts me in a trance every time I listen. My favorite line, probably because it's the only line I can understand: "Jesus greets me, looks just like me..."
It really sounds nothing like their typical music, although I haven't actually listened to Pearl Jam since their last quality album, Vitalogy, which came out in 1994. But like I said, this song is one of a kind and deserves a listen. Let me know if you disagree.

I love that PJ song. I had no clue what it was called. Now I have it on my work itunes. Holla! Veder is so angry. What does W.M.A stand for again?
ReplyDeleteW.M.A. (song), a Pearl Jam song from 1993's Vs. album, meaning White Male American..."W.M.A." was inspired by an incident that happened outside Pearl Jam's rehearsal studio in which Vedder got into an altercation with a group of police officers who were hassling a black friend of his but ignoring him.
ReplyDeletep.s.-the whole album is great.............. c
