“Nothingman” from Vitalogy. There are probably many ways to interpret this song, but as this album was the soundtrack to my senior year of high school, I can’t help but think of it in light of my mother’s death.Most meaningful line: “I am myself / Like you somehow.” “Release” from PJ20 soundtrack. Vedder’s ode to his deceased father is cathartic for me.Most meaningful line: “She dreams in color / she dreams in red / can’t find a better man.” As with most of their most emotionally resonant songs, this one comes from Vedder’s relationships - in particular, his stepfather. Never released as a single, “Better Man” is one of the band’s most popular songs.
Most meaningful line: “And now my bitter hands / cradle broken glass / of what was everything.” Dark, brooding, evocative, emotional…it checks all the boxes. “Black” from Ten.This has always been my favorite PJ song.In honor of their recent induction into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame, here are my Top Ten Favorite Pearl Jam Songs: I was a freshman in high school when they burst onto the rock / grunge / alternative scene in 1991. I’ve been following Pearl Jam for the past 25 years.
