| Pearl Jam – Yellow Ledbetter Lyrics | 24 years ago |
| Of course to say the song was written by Mike McCready is a stretch. I think Little Wing came before it. It is written as a tribute to Hendrix in that sense. But obviously the words are uniquely Eddie's. | |
| Pearl Jam – Of the Girl Lyrics | 24 years ago |
|
It is clear to me this song is about a heroin adiction. The title "Of the Girl" is just a cleaver way of masking that fact. The first stanza deals with actually shooting up. Filling up the syringe, tieing off, and shooting up "with the love of a girl." Then there is a period of escapement. The second stanza is more about the effect heroin has on his life. A chosen path, the late nights, and devistation heroin has caused on his life (heavy the fall). He is tormented by his addiction. |
