I feel retarded but I heard a song earlier on the radio and I swear it's a Pearl Jam song. I'm not a very big PJ fan so I am lost and I don't have much to go on.
It's a slow song and has a slow guitar intro ten breaks into the song. and I don't...and I don't wanna.... Is the only lyric I remember and I'm not even sure it's correct. Not much help I know but maybe someone on here does. |

Yellow Ledbetter?
"Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again' Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah And they called and I said that I want what I said And then I call out again And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know I said, 'I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag' Ah yeah...can you see them? Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave I see them, round the front way, yeah And I know and I know I don't want to stay Make me cry I see, ooh...I don't know why there's something else I wanna drum it all away Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know a-where there's a boxer or the bag' Ah yeah, can you see them? Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave I see them, round the front way, yeah And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay alone I don't wanna stay I don't, don't wanna |

I celebrate their entire catalogue, but need more input. Was it their homage to Hendrix "Yellow Ledbetter" ... ? If people can't understand the lyrics, they'll keep listening...... 
Looks like the theory is still sound 15+ years after the song's debut. 
 I thought it was an homage to Jimi, wasn't it?

I thought it was an homage to Jimi, wasn't it?Yeah - Hendrix was the first (that I know of) person to talk about singing in such a way that people couldn't understand the lyrics, prompting them to listen again. Yeelow Ledbetter was a nod to Hendrix in that regard - NOBODY could understand the lyrics, and the song came out before the internet was truly widespread, so it wasn't like people could 'google' it. |
