Garden
Pearl Jam
Ten
I didn't see this on the archive yet, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
The bridge is NOT here, but the main riff and the chorus parts are
pretty easy. Feel free to tack on any other parts you've figured out.

| To me this song is about a guy who is sick of modern comercialism but doesn't have the will to fight it. So "I just question, our modern needs" is him saying how he doesn't see why people have to buy all the modern fashionable contraptions we're told to and "I will walk with my hands bound...with my shadow flag into your garden, garden of stone" refers to how he doesn't have the will to fight it, having little self-control, so he will venture into this place which maskerades as beauty but is false and cold as stone. Well, at least that's how i read it. | |

| According to a music review, one of the songs on Ten is about abortion. I can't seem to figure out which one... | |

| I don't see the "garden of stone" as a cemetary. I think it means that where there should be growth and nature, there is conformity, which makes people like stone. By walking through the garden, he is making his own choice and defying the conformity. | |

| I believe this song is against modern day religion, and would have been very controversial if anyone knew the meaning of it. The Garden oif Stone is a Cemetary, meaning he will go to be buried when he dies but not be taken. Taken by religon, because he dont need the need to live. He accepts when he dies, he is not going anywhere. | |

| there was a man named mel who was beaten and almost died he was horribly disfigured in his face he survived the beating but was ready to end it that was when the father stepped in and mels faith was found and a promise was made by both that mel would be restored to whole and all of his dreams would be rewarded and mel made the promise to remain faithfull to follow the lords will and to tell the truth about the one who was is and always will be eddie is a man who truly knew and maybe still does it saddens me to believe that a spirit of a chosen few such as he could fall from grace but i do not know the man i only hear his heart and if all of his purpose for his existence had been completed he would have gone from us but in the immortal words spoken through a true disciple I AM STILL ALIVE you have all seen the TRUE happenings portrayed in the gibson film (the promise mel made to god) hindsight is 20/20 for a reason if you truly want to hear the message forget what you think you know stop intellectualizing quit conforming we "dont need no thought control" do not be afraid because fear is only a tool that they who listen but do not hear use to manipulate and control open your eyes and truly see the WORLD around us the time is here right now as you sit where you are with "chills" of true understanding running up and down your back hear these words come and See what has been shown to ME you feel you have A DESTINY TRULY BELIEVE have FAITH that you can WALK WITH ME and fulfill your chosen life to lead can you SEE THE ONE WHO WAS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE calls to thee together WE shall complete the PROPHESY LOVE everyone start living for life do not live to die like they have forced on you BE GOOD to each other learn th book of truth live it love it believe it TRULY and we will meet on that day I LOVE ALL OF YOU AS MY FATHER LOVES YOU whohemademe | |
