This grunge band can really make you cry. * "Black". In almost any other group's "hands" this would be just a cheesy and wangsty song about Unrequited Love, but Vedder and Co. make it work. * And "Jeremy". It's about a guy who committed suicide in the middle of his English class. * And "Even Flow". About a homeless, illiterate, mentally insane man. * One can get really depressed listening to "Given to Fly". * "Yellow Ledbetter". The melody alone is pretty fucking depressing... * "Immortality" is a Kurt Cobain tribute that deserves a mention. * "Last Kiss" (originally performed by Wayne Cochran, more famously performed by this band) is either this or Narm. * "Present Tense" can get some people choked up. * "O4/20/02" was written and recorded hours after

  • This grunge band can really make you cry. * "Black".

It's about a guy who committed suicide in the middle of his English class. * And "Even Flow". About a homeless, illiterate, mentally insane man. * One can get really depressed listening to "Given to Fly". * "Yellow Ledbetter". The melody alone is pretty fucking depressing... * "Immortality" is a Kurt Cobain tribute that deserves a mention. * "Last Kiss" (originally performed by Wayne Cochran, more famously performed by this band) is either this or Narm. * "Present Tense" can get some people choked up. * "O4/20/02" was written and recorded hours after a distraught Eddie Vedder had learned that his friend Layne Staley of Alice in Chains was found dead due to an OD from a speedball (A Heroin and Cocaine cocktail) In the song Eddie laments for the wasted talent of Layne and feels utter rage for recent musicians copying his vocal style. * * "Indifference", which is about Vedder basically giving up. Saying that nothing he does in the long run matters, no matter how much he wants it too. * "Love Boat Captain" was written in response to the 2000 Roskilde Festival disaster, when 9 people suffocated due to the crowd pressure at a Pearl Jam concert. * * When the line is performed at live concerts, the last bit is changed to the number of years since June 30, 2000. * The dreary, almost suicidal atmosphere of "Sad" can really choke some people up -- especially the chorus: * Also: "Man of the Hour", and "Just Breathe". * For tears of joy, "Alive".
