Faithfull by Pearl Jam

After 15 years, Yield may now be my favorite Pearl Jam album. This after viewing the documentary Pearl Jam: Twenty. It's a must view for any fan, diehard or casual. It helped me understand what's are the factors , experiences and circumstances that made Pearl Jam that band it is today comparing it to the band of the 1st two albums.

After viewing the documentary, this is the song that I most remember from it. Instead of hearing"mediocrity" and "soft", I now hear the grit, truth and emotion in this Pearl Jam song.

Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it

M.Y.T.H. is…
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are everything
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you

No Way by Pearl Jam

My favorite Pearl Jam albums are the first two they released, Ten and VS. I tried to listen to other titles one day on my way home from Makati and decided to try to listen to the Yield Album.

It was a breakthrough in hearing these songs again and No Way was one of the strongest "Pearl Jamm-y" songs of the lot that could be placed in the first two albums. It has the same grit and angst.

Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me

All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my sciatic nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for..

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way

Ooh, let's call in an angel

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I’m not trying to make a difference
I’m not trying to make a difference
No way
No way, no way
Let's call in an angel
Who's calling an angel?
