I Like Music…
So, recently I’ve been given the opportunity to do some posts about concert tickets. It’s cool. But to keep it from being just ad copy, I thought I’d give it my own spin. So, here is the first of three music posts today, sponsored by Get Me In!. Enjoy.
One of my favorite bands is Pearl Jam. I’ve even requested that No Code be played at my funeral. So, back in the early 2000s, I was lucky enough to get some exceptional Pearl Jam tickets in the front twenty rows at Riverport. It was amazing. Easily, one of my favorite live shows. Pearl Jam is that kind of band.
But enough about the live show. I thought I would give you my favorite Pearl Jam songs and why (in no particular order).
- ‘Black’ – Every Pearl Jam fan loves this track. It’s about being brokenhearted. I love the bridge: ‘I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be the sun, in somebody else’s sky, but why, why can’t it be mine?’
- Vs. is one of my favorite albums and has three tracks I love. The opener ‘Go’ I like because it is so frantic. It rips out the gate and doesn’t stop.
- Later on Vs., you have ‘rearviewmirror’ which is as close as I ever came to adopting an anthem. I’ve documented my love for this song before.
- ‘Indifference’ ends the album. Somber and very dark. Really good for when you are in a sad mood and want to stew in it.
- No Code. I love the entire album.
- From Yield, I love ‘Given To Fly’ and ‘Wishlist’, both because they have hints of hope.
There are more, but that’s the early and mid-career stuff from Eddie and the boys. I would love to see them in concert again…
