Pearl Jam "Black"

Have I ever mentioned that I love Pearl Jam. Ten is one of the best albums of all time. I love this version of Black, Eddie sings it with such power and emotion.




Hey... oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...
Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

Aah... uuh..

Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]

The Who --- "Love Reign O'er Me"

Without a doubt, one of the greatest bands ever. This has always been a favorite of mine. I'm also adding the Pearl Jam performance of this song from VH1 Rock Honors The Who, which was a really good show.

Pearl Jam - "Even Flow"

Another really great band. I maintain to this day that Ten is one of the best albums made, from beginning to end, just awesome. Eddie Vedder's vocal power combined with an incredible band, just pure power.
