In this song, the kid shoots himself at the end, ringing out a clear explanation. It tells you how many depressed students kill themselves at school yearly, and many friends become traumatized of their friend's death. 'School is important to your life!' Well, just stop and think of this song. Beautiful song and one of Pearl Jam's best. I love this song for its creativity on how to speak out on suicide by saying 'Jeremy spoke in class today' symbolizing that Jeremy was a quiet boy before he spoke out on himself with a gun. 'Jeremy' speaks the powerful story of Jeremy Wade Delle, a high schooler who shot himself in front of his class. Represents the kind of talent that few see in the band and is so lyrically brilliant that humming it is actually painful. If you show anyone what Pearl Jam sounds like, you don't have to show them anything but this before they love the band. Such an amazingly repeatable song shouldn't be seated behind Even Flow. This is a side note but I am proud to share my birthday with Eddy Vedder. These song are all on one album, is just unbelievable. Still though, even if people might disagree with the order, the top 4 song here are Pearl Jam's best song. The only reason is vote for Jeremy is because I thought it might go higher. I think this is their second best song all time behind Even Flow. Makes me feel alive every time I hear it.

'Now I hold the broken glass, of what was everything'. Decipher the lyrics, find the true meaning, and you will agree with me.

If you've been heartbroken, listen to this song. I really don't think this song needs much arguing to be considered Pearl Jam's best, and it also happens to be my favorite song of all time. This song becomes the integral part of my feelings, like it is being played within my head, my head moves uncontrollably with the beats and eyes remains closed. It touches your soul and your emotions flows with the beats and vocals. And the last verse is just what it says WHY NOT ME!īlack is by far the most emotionally powerful song I have heard. So the first verse is pretty much the meaning of the song. Then he ends the verse by saying that the main thing we near to live (air). Then he tells that he thinks she is so beautiful that the whole world revolves around her like the earth dose the sun. The canvis and clay are empty.then it tells how she didn't love him. The first of the first verse he's saying she was his inspiration and he's not inspired with out her. She tryed to show him love in return but it wasn't real. Its about a guy who loved a girl who just didn't feel the same. I've seen this song misinterpreted so many times.
