Pearl Jam @ MindSay

All I taught her was everything.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why-
. . . why can't it be mine?

"Is something wrong?" she said.
Of course there is.
"You're still alive," she said.
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so...if so...who answers?

"Undone" -  Pearl Jam

Last stop on the west coast line.
South of the northern border.
One small corner on my mind.

Everybody they know me there.
Don't get any second glances.
Chances are that they don't care.

The world has come undone.
Like to change it everyday.
Change don't come at once.
There's a wave, building before it breaks.

Can't wait for ELECTION DAY.
Witness the occupation.
Corporations rule the day.

Well you know the pendulum throws.
Farther out to the one side swinging.
Has to sweep back the other way.

The world has come undone.
Another day and who can wait.
Change don't come at once.
It's a wave, building before it breaks.

All this hope and nowhere to go.
This is how I used to feel but no more.

The world has come undone.
Like a game if you can play.
Change don't come from one.
It's a wave, building before it breaks.

Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam covering Prince's 1999.

It doesn't happen too often, but every once in a while one of my favorite artists covers one of my other favorite artists.

This is Charlotte Martin performing Pearl Jam's "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town". It's on her forthcoming covers album, "Reproductions". Grab it exclusively at iTunes next Tuesday (November 6th).
