Pearl Jam - NEW ALBUM COMING!
Pearl Jam was one of my favorite bands in the early 90's. They were a staple in my my CD changer, and I eagerly anticipated their concert in Golden Gate Park, San Francico. By the end of that craptastic 'concert', they were at the bottom of my LIST. Even my beloved "Bootleg Cd" I won from a now defunct radio station. I believe it was 98.5 KOME. I had gone with a group of friends, including an Ex boyfriend. I knew the day would not go well, when I had the urge to shove my ex out of the truck before we even got there. At the concert a smelly man kept falling on me as he was dancing around in a drug stupor. (Old hippie, this is PEARL JAM, NOT THE GREATFUL DEAD for crying out loud.) After a couple of songs Eddie bowed out to be replaced by Neil Young for the rest of the concert. Now, I am not a Neil Young hater, but I did NOT come to see a Neil Jam concert. Needless to say I was not pleased. I planned on leaving but my asshat of an ex was nowhere to be seen, and he had MY KEYS and sunscreen. He had gone off to 'see if he could get a closer look' and did not return until AFTER the concert was over. It was the beginning of the end of a doomed relationship. I got home hours later in a sour mood and sunburnt from head to toe (I swear my eyeballs were sunburned...)
ANYWHO! I was pleasantly surprised yesterday while Listening to Live 105. Pearl Jam had a new release, a new album coming out AND the song was available to download for FREE! Now, after years of Pearl Jam silence, I could only hope that they had not lost their edge. I assure you , if you were a Pearl Jam fan before, you will enjoy their new offering. We can only hope that the rest of the album is just as good. They have announced a World Tour as well.

WORLDWIDE SUICIDE
(lyrics: Vedder, music: Gossard)
I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet.
In the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see.
Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name.
Could not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again.
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's the same everyday in a hell manmade
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?
The whole world...World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face.
That the president took for granted.
Writing checks that others pay.
And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive.
So much to talk about. Nothing for to say.
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save
Does not equate, and the truth's already out there
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there's another, another, another, another
Another way
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.
The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide."
