I'm going to start to explaining why I chose this song.
The music that I like is more heavy than this song, this is an exception of the rule :D.
The song, Black from Pearl Jam, was important in a level of my life. Together, with my classmates, when we were in a party, they played this song, and everyone started to sing. A song with strong emotional content and easy to sing, ever in english xD.
I don't know much information from Pearl Jam. This is what I found:
Pearl Jam was formed in Seattle the year 1990.
Consist in five members(actually): Dave Abruzzese(drums), Eddie Vedder(Gutar, Vocals), Jeff Ament(Bass Guitar), Stone Gossard (Guitar), Mike McCready (Guitar).
This is an importan info xD, I'll copy textually:
"Pearl Jam took part in the Vote For Change Tour in 2004, aimed at raising John Kerry's vote in the US Elections (PJ are strongly against George W Bush) and played at many undecided states such as Boston. Eddie Vedder was quoted as saying that Pearl Jam would move to Canada if Bush won, and he did, but they remain in the US."And here is the lyric :D, I found a unplugged video, putted at the end of the Lyric ;D."Black"
Hey... oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her souls
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine...
(This songs make me feel good ~_~, He changed the lyrics in the video a little)
