Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture UknownSoldier Lead Player	#1 by UknownSoldier Nightmare at Aug 23, 1971 at 11:12 AM EST
	heard this is a story about bombs.....only love can break her fall....

No Picture Michael Average	#2 by Michael Vanderveen at Mar 10, 1975 at 8:40 PM EST
	I love PJ because of how well they can friggin describe other peoples' dillemas... they have damn good empathy... That was COMPLETELY me at one time, but I'm lucky now because love really did break my fall. Thank you Matt, because of you I learned there is more to love than just a fluttery heartbeat.... the truest love is built off of a great friendship. ^^

No Picture The Mexican Who Average	#3 by The Mexican Who's Living Under Satan's Wing at Sep 9, 1975 at 6:52 PM EST
	this song is about a girl who is on ... the end of the line, inches from the edge of some precipice (in life, not real). and the only possible way she can be bailed out of this precarious situation is if someone welcomes her into his life with genuine love (for her). "its like she's lost her invitation to the party on earth.." just sums her situation up... she is now a "nobody's child" with only her doll to cry to, no human shoulder. voted the best pearl jam punk rock song in an opinion poll by Vault, the official Ten fanclub.

No Picture Sam Average	#4 by Sam at Jan 24, 1977 at 6:53 PM EST
	She is bitter and everything once beautiful and everything she once cared about now just makes her angry. She was scorned in love and only a new and persistant deep love can "Break her fall"

No Picture Phillip Wanna Be	#5 by Phillip Doucette at Sep 11, 1978 at 11:36 PM EST
	it's been said that this song was written about courtney love. i don't know if that's true. but it's an interesting thought, i think. cool song, anyway.

No Picture Dan Professional Badass	#7 by Dan Hudspith at Jul 21, 1980 at 3:16 AM EST
	its weird cuz i feel like my life was over a long time ago when my love of my granda died and some how im still living i pry eveynight to god about wanting to die and almost everytime i think to myself how selfish i am when i pry like that when i know i should be lining as god has kept m e alive but everything diddapears when i talk to people like you people on this site cuz you understand what i mean by it through pearl jam. i sometimes listen to pj and think to myself fuck thats kind of like the situation im in now just because i can reach them in that way their such an amazing band to be able to reach me like that

No Picture Jesus Average	#8 by Jesus Christ at Jun 19, 1987 at 3:25 PM EST
	this is one of my fav. songs....its something i can really relate to right now...it means that theres a girl who's had her heart broken too many times and its no fault but her own and shes about to give up...but the only thing that can save her is being in love..PJ is the best

No Picture Vicky Average	#9 by Vicky Barnard at Jan 17, 1990 at 4:46 PM EST
	Popularity is not a prerequisite for greatness. As is the story of Pearl Jam.

No Picture Nathan Average	#10 by Nathan Delvecchio at Oct 11, 1995 at 1:17 AM EST
	It's pity that I didn't hear this song when I was in my deepest depression. I still fell like this though, and wait to find love that I need. Someday it will surely happen, never lose hope.

No Picture Sarah McKagan Musical Genius	#11 by Sarah McKagan (AKA - Lady Rock 'n' Roll) at Jul 30, 2001 at 4:56 PM EST
	same with me and "slieght of hand" that song is like the fuckin story of my life right now- there are so many of their songs that i can relate to but no one i know likes or gives pj any respect, thats also why i go to this site so i can talk to people that love this band as much as i do

No Picture Bobby Wanna Be	#12 by Bobby Warneke at Sep 3, 2004 at 8:53 PM EST
	A great song that isn't recognised much. Pity it could have been really popular.
