Release

Note on 2/9/24: This post used to have an embedded Pearl Jam vid. Now, though, Pearl Jam doesn't allow embeds. You can go watch it on YouTube, and I recommend you do. "Release" in all its glory from a March 4, 1992 show in Holland. (Sidenote: I've seen PJ a couple times, including the legendary May 1992 "Day on the Hill" show at my alma mater in Lawrence, KS -- ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK! Stick "Pearl Jam Day on the Hill" in the YouTube search for the deets. I was sitting on the hill.)

 Lovely day here. Bike ride, beach volleyball, a little golf yet to come.

And in the midst of it all, one of my fav Pearl Jam songs.

That voice, my god sing to me all night long. Sing what it says to me in this song. Release me.

I see the world
Feel the chill
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the words
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain

Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me

Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me
