PEARL JAM

[Gabbry]

Visto che lo scozzese s'é infottato la testa con Amy.. ho deciso di aprire una discussione sulla mia personalissima Ossessione:

I Pearl Jam


Non voglio tediarvi con la storia della mitica band di Seattle, in rete trovate miliardi di informazioni.

volevo aprire questa discussione solo per far conoscere la loro musica.





e tanto per iniziare... ci è concesso di volare!

GIVEN TO FLY
Live @ Riverport Amphitheater, Maryland Heights, MO - 11 Ottobre 2000




GIVEN TO FLY
Pearl Jam - Yield - 1998 - Epic
Autori: Vedder/McCready

He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying.....whole

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

[Gabbry]

rimanendo sull'album Yield del 1998 passiamo a qualcosa di più punkeggiante...

DO THE EVOLUTION

leggendo il testo della canzone, scritta nel 1998 mi viene da pensare che c'é chi ha la vista lunga....

DO THE EVOLUTION

ed anche una versione Live, un po' più incazzosa come la fanno adesso (e ci piace di più)
Live at Ed Sullivan's Theatre (Pre David Letterman Show - Show Case)




DO THE EVOLUTION
Pearl Jam - Yield - 1998 - Epic
Autori: Vedder/McCready


Woo...
I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah
It's evolution, baby

I'm at peace, I'm the man
Buying stocks on the day of the crash
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling hills, I'll flatten 'em out, yeah
It's herd behavior, uh huh
It's evolution, baby

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, he's my clone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what I want but irresponsibly
It's evolution, baby

I'm a thief, I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir:
(hallelujah, hallelujah)

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, admire my clones
'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me
Nothin', why?
Because... it's evolution, baby!

I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
2010, watch it go to fire
It's evolution, baby
Do the evolution
Come on, come on, come on

[Gabbry]

e qui vi posto la canzone manifesto per una generazione di rokkettari, ALIVE!

Quando la intonano ai concerti viene giù tutto!


Qui erano dei Regazzini!





Adesso hanno messo il turbo e la canzone rende di più!

dal concerto di Milano del 2006 tratto dal DVD "Immagine in Cornice"
Notate al minuto 4.03" il "volo" di Eddie




ALIVE
Pearl Jam - 1991 - TEN - Epic Records
Autori: Vedder/Gossard

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him,
but I'm glad we talked...

Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...

I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...

Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Gabbry]

e dopo aver ascoltato il primo successo dei Nostri, passiamo ad una hit dell'ultimo lavoro di studio: Severed Hand

Anche questa clip è tratta dal DVD "Immagine in cornice" che la band ha dedicato ai fans italiani, intitolato proprio immagine in cornice perché realizzato completamente con il materiale girato durante i 5 concerti che hanno tenuto nel bel paese nel 2006.

La clip contiene anche l'intro del DVD prima della canzone.

SEVERED HAND
Pearl Jam - 2006 - J Records
Autori : Vedder/Gossard

Big man stands behind an open door
Said, "Leave your lady on the cement floor."

"Got some kicks, wanna take a ride?"
I said, "Yeh,..."
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I Said, "Yeh,..."

I've no fear but for falling down
So look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
A way home.

Tried to walk, found a severed hand
Recognized it by the wedding band

"It's okay, do you want some more?"
I said, "Yeh,..."
"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4...:
I said, "Yeh,..."

"Understand, I'm not falling down"
I said, "Look around, the room's taller now,.."
I can't close my eyes, cause i see the sound
In waves

In waves, lets me stay calm

If I don't lose control
Explore and not explode
A preternatural other plane
With the power to maintain.

Like a tear in all we know
Once dissolved, we are free to grow
"What is human?,... What is more?"
I'll answer this

When I get home.

[Gabbry]

Questa è una canzone del solo cantante dei Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder. Fa parte della colonna sonora del film girato da Sean Penn "Into the Wild"

HARD SUN



HARD SUN

When I walk beside her
I am the better man
when i look to leave her
I always stagger back again

Once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again

CHORUS
There’s a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

When she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
I see her inner charm
she just throws it back at me

Once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her rules back again

CHORUS

Once I stood to lose her
and I saw what i had done
bowed down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun

So I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and its still coming down on me
