Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
So all you fools
Who sing just like him
Feel free to do so now
Cuz he's dead
Using, using, using
The using takes toll
Isolation
Just so happy to be one
Sad to, sad to think
Sad to think of him all alone
Lonesome friend, we all knew
Always hoped you'd pull through
No blame, no blame
No blame, it could be you
Using, you can't grow old using
So sing just like him, fuckers
It won't offend him
Just me
Because he's dead
Who sing just like him
Feel free to do so now
Cuz he's dead
Using, using, using
The using takes toll
Isolation
Just so happy to be one
Sad to, sad to think
Sad to think of him all alone
Lonesome friend, we all knew
Always hoped you'd pull through
No blame, no blame
No blame, it could be you
Using, you can't grow old using
So sing just like him, fuckers
It won't offend him
Just me
Because he's dead

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
There's no rationalizing, breking it down, or trying to find hidden meanings here people......Vedder and the late, beautiful/inspiring Layne Staley were once friends.....many of us just waited for years to hear the news when he would finally be at peace.....for Vedder it was on 4/20/02....along with the rest of us......NO VOICE CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE POWER, BEAUTY, AND PAIN-FILLED SOUL OF MR. Layne Staley!....I was at his original memorial service....along with Vedder, McCready, Cornell,Inez,andCantrell.....you are loved and missed Dark Angel!
This is about Layne Staley. Eddie is pissed at how people try to copy Layne's style to make a buck. R.I.P. Layne Staley.
Seether is actually pretty good, I've read alot of stuff about Shaun Morgan (the lead singer) and he's a pretty big Nirvana freak...
he says that he wants to try to keep what Kurt started going, that he wants to be in it basically for the sake of writing music,... there's no doubt in my mind that he's a hell of a lot more commercially appealing than Kurt, more Mainstream Friendly, but I think he's pretty sincere....
Sully Erna on the other hand.........
This song is so great. When I listen to it, I just have this image in my head of Eddie sitting in a dark room with his guitar just bleeding this out... I always wondered how Eddie took Layne's death. We all know his reaction to Cobain's death but him and Kurt were never close, like Eddie and Layne.
very heartfelt tribute to a fallen hero. it was so sad to see layne decompose. i wish he could of gotten help.
i've thought that about many of the new bands and how they try to copy laynes voice and style, and i share vedders views in this song. probably everyone does.
He has a good point, too. Yet, why isn't Layne given much more credit for his contributions? That's what he wanted. He wanted recognition for his talents, not his addiction.
i thought this was about Andy Wood. i don't know...
no its not about Andrew Wood...Eddie didnt know him but he sang on his tribute "temple of the dog" Ed was new in Seatle when Andrew died....and this song is about Layne....all these newere bands try to copy Laynes voice...cough cough Godsmack...alot of them try to copy Eddie Vedders voice and Kurt Cobains and Chris Cornell...they all had/have great voices and everyone wants to sound just like them but they cant
!992 maybe, but not 2002.
Ive never heard this song before....would love to now though!

Just listen to 'Bee Girl' off Lost Dogs if you have it. It's after the silence following Bee Girl. A hidden track.
