Pearl Jam – No Way Lyrics 12 years ago
Uh-huh. Stone wanted (was in a way asking) this gal to be there for him. Physically & emotionally to be present.
You may think it's all fun & games but it's not...it's hard work. Sweat & tears. (LOVE IS)

Keeping
it
together.

Stone deserves a woman who loves him, the man deep down to the core. And by making a difference in others lives over time, he makes a statement to this gal.

Inspiration is a beautiful thing! Bookmark that.

You are correct in a roundabout way. It is about activism and it is not. It's about a heated discussion between 2 people who were attempting to come together for the greater good.
The band at the time though was butting heads on which direction to go after the sudden catapult in fame. I remember distinctly the time period this song was written.
The human psyche comment you made- I don't know? - that may or may not be relevant in regards? Though from my perspective- ppl may enjoy their solitude-in the long run- everyone needs to belong to a tribe to survive!

Back to the song-
I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I'LL STOP TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
NO WAY

It's a play on words...classic Gossard, in a sense.

Again, the conversation was "You could be making a difference but instead you guys are arguing"
Then the song writing went in the direction of the romantic relationship that was problematic.

Believe what you want...but that's the gist of it.

THE POINT WAS-

He was in love with her and the outfit had special meaning BETWEEN the two of them.

This is not a gal he married, either.

Pearl Jam – Of the Girl Lyrics 13 years ago
Written by Gossard.

About a girl he has a hard time keeping off his mind.
Akin to a love addiction.
What's so special about this girl?!?!?!

Pearl Jam – Force of Nature Lyrics 13 years ago
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
She lets go

A gal that hiding the fact she loves the guy
There's something she wont release deep inside (her heart)
The lose control part likel stems from holding in her emotions so much/too often that when she finally does she's like a hurricane

The guy in the song is holding fast that she will return.
He knows that she truly loves him.
She just has fears/demons/something she has to resolve within herself to believe in the love.

Pearl Jam – Thin Air Lyrics 13 years ago
Song was written sometime in 1999, right? By Stone?
Ed said it in an interview it was about Stone experiencing love?
"Young Love" b/c Ed himself was at that time in a 17 yr relationship so he said that he couldn't have written it. Had that perspective.

"She's reached my heart in thin air"

A gal has touched Stone's heart but is gone (not a part of his life). She's disappeared.

I'd consider it a hopefully love song about lost love.
They guy is hopeful she will return.
He's optimistic.

I wonder whom Stone was involved with in the late 90s?
She probably is the inspiration.

It's a song about Stone and the frustration he was having with a relationship. IF you think I'm wrong, you might want to look up the Dave LEtterman performance of the song from 1996. Stone is dressed in a very odd fashion. I won't go in to details too too much but it's about him wanting to get a point across in a relationship. The song was a bit cynical/angry which actually in conflicts resolves nothing BUT the outfit he donned made an enormous impact of her heart. Enough said.

Exercising the will to lose control?

That line would be akin to the guy making this gal incredibly upset/frustrated by the relationship. (because he's been hurt by her coming

Pearl Jam – Force of Nature Lyrics 13 years ago
This song IS about a relationship. But not about a relationship where the girl is out partying all the time! (not that relationship at all) If you want a PJ song about that listen to MANKIND. This song is simply about a fella that is truly, madly, deeply head over heels for a gal that only he gets (read- understands/sees/hears). His friends don't understand the allure/attraction/devotion. Metaphorically, she is "the siren". She is STRONG WILLED. (a force of nature) Common man don't stand a chance? Means she wont have a relationship with just anyone. He has to be "different", the type people say "thinks outside the box". Not your everyday man.
The fella in the song is going to wait for this gal b/c he believes in his heart, she's the one.
His hope is liely to bring her back, too.
She's the type that needs to believe someone will hang in for the long haul so even if they go separate ways, he remains devoted to her.
IS IT SO WRONG TO THINK THAT LOVE CAN KEEP US SAFE?

Absolutely not!!!

This song is about a gal Stone was interested in dating. She said she wasn't interested and then also stated, "You could be making a diffrence in the world but instead you guys are fighting." This is during the time Eddie
