I seem to recognize your face

Not a huge pearl jam fan, more soundgarden, but this song is great.
Simply great
Eddie Vedder and Kurt Kobain. Both incredibly popular but no one can understand either of them.
In my opinion don't get mad
Pearl ham is the best band ever
Similar to Simon and Garfunkel similar time period which helps explain. The music is beautiful it is a soul felt music, much better then the pop today.
Sounds like maybe where Crazy Mary may have been flying around too. No L-O-I-T-E-R- I - N - G allowed. A different type of Elderly woman.
Always will love this song a classic
So relateable.
How do you recognize an old lady's breath?
l o v e.
In fact, this is about the only one that still elicits a decent emotional response from me.
One of their great songs that gets forgotten about because of the ponderous title.
Didn't fully appreciate this song in high school even though I wore Vs out. I like it more now. First show I went to was Pearl Jam In Murfreesboro , TN at MTSU in '93. Only time they ever covered Sittin on the Dock of the Bay.

typo in lyrics
I love this song. Its so deep and full of passion.
such an amazing song. Brings me back to my teenage years
It dredges up memories does it not?
waistill
I always thought it was "hearts and f*rts they fade, fade away"
Pearl Jam is too hard for me, but this song blows my mind!
This song reminds me of the hottest skater chick in high school...I'd smoke cigs and slouch...and pine for her. She was in love with a senior...he was a better skater. I was but a freshman. No car. Ah...memorie s .
