How to be happy and true,

Taking on-on-on-

Taking on-on-on on-on
There is alight when my baby is in my arms,
Then play the chorus four times.

| To add to Edley's point: Knowing Pearl Jam's love of The Who, and Quadrophenia in particular, I can't ignore the melodic similarity between the line "Take it on, on, on, on, on" and The Punk and the Godfather, which is a debate between two different generations. It seems to me that the person he is singing to is from another generation, so quite possibly his daughter. | |

| There's a dark tension seething just below the surface of this song that suggests it's not as it seems. A melancholy tale of murder hidden in a love ballad? | |

| actually if you think about it its about having sex and thinking about its effects on a relationship...like will he do harm to her? or will their love for one another move in a different direction than it used to...although the first two lines make it seem like its after sex...anyways yeah...beautiful song | |

| This song is actually Stone Gossard's song. It is more about Stones life than Eddies, but it also relates to Eddie. | |

| I was just noticing somthing. Going back to what Edley said, after reading that comment, I just listened to the song to think about what was written, and noticed, at the very beginning of the song, when there's that tambourine-thing being shaken (not a tambourine.. can't remember the name right now!), it kind of makes me think of a baby shaking a rattle or something, because it isn't really in time with the music. it seems a bit out of place, but looking back, i don't think it would be complete without it. | |
