ROCKING HORSE OF TIME!

Fun fact:That song was written and recorded in 20 minutes.

The song is about Vedder's biological father, who he never really got to know. It's an incredibly emotional song.

"Oh, dear dad, can you see me now. I am myself, like you somehow."
Fantastic line.

"I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me"

Have you heard his delivery of these lyrics? It almost gives me goosebumps.

Have you heard how he uses the phrase
ROCKING HORSE OF TIME
and rhymes chill with windowsill in no relation to the song?

Windowsill and chill creates an atmosphere and gives you a vague kind of setting. As in, he is perhaps leaning on a windowsill and there is a chill.

Rocking horse of time creates a pretty picture in ones mind, and probably says something about... you know, he moves on. Time keeps rocking along.

Lol that just sounds incredibly dull, cheesy and cliche to me.

Alex/ · 06-03-2010, 04:11 PM

"to me". That's great. To each his own.

I've never met a Pearl Jam fanboy until now.

First time for everything, right?

Trudat.

I like meeting fan boys, defending what they love to the bitter end, even if I don't agree - you've got to admire the commitment.

Even if the lyrics suck, you can't really understand him to begin with, so it doesn't mean anything. The moaning goes along nicely with the music.

Release? Maybe it's just because I've heard the song so many times, but I can understand it pretty well.

He's definitely more understandable than Chris Cornell or Kurt Cobain.
