| This song ties with "Oceans" and "State of Love and Trust" as my favorite PJ song. To date, the band's only played the three songs in one set once (on 10/28/96) in London at Wembley Arena. How I'd love to hear that show before I die, or at least have the group throw them back into a set again, but it's about as likely as lightining striking twice. "Oceans" and "Sometimes" are great openers, much preferred over "Release" or "Of the Girl", though "Long Road" is fine by me. Amazing version on the Mansfield 7/11/03 official boot. "Sometimes" is not the opener, it's the third song in the opening acoustic set. Rivals the album in in value. Another version I have in San Francisco 7/16/06, when Ed forgets the lyrics after the opening verse, and just tells the crowd "I forgot the f-cking song" (to mad applause), and later apologizes for forgetting the opener for the first time in the band's history. What is this song about? I don't think it means much about anything, perhaps about how life encompasses triumphs and mistakes, and how Vedder is just another man (who even forgets the words... sometimes). No, it doesn't mean much about anything, but it sure means a lot to me. | |

| The first song heard on No Code when you listen to the album.... Any fans who were expecting another Go, Once, or last exit were immediatly kicked in the ass with this song.... Sometimes seems to be about questioning occurances in your life that are beyond your control.....I love this song.... | |

| Well I don't necessarily think this song is about being afraid of a higher power. I think it's more about questioning your existance and asking the famous question of "Why are we here?" Everyone is supposably here for a reason, and Vedder is trying to seek and do his part, just like everyone else. He's just another "book on the shelf" wondering what his part is. Anyways like Nasus said, its a cool song but its pretty creepy. | |
