Biography

Alternative Rock (Modern Rock) band from Seattle, Washington (USA). Inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. Formed from the ashes of Jeff and Stone's previous band [a=Mother Love Bone] and the [a=Temple of the Dog] tribute project (featuring [a262214] on a number of tracks), Pearl Jam were catapulted straight to international superstardom with the release of the album "Ten" and the single 'Alive'. One of the Seattle grunge scene a-list bands, their star faded considerably when that scene fell out of fashion. This appears to have suited the band fine as they've continued to record increasingly experimental music with their line-up almost intact (they have had a number of drummers over the years - [a712166], [a518880], [a365506] and, now, the drummer who played on their original demos and with Temple of the Dog - [a284484], who also plays drums for [a=Soundgarden]. In 1995, they played as the backing band on [a=Neil Young]'s "[Link]" album and the subsequent tour. Among the band members' many side projects over the years are [a=Brad] ([a377057]); [a=Mad Season] & [a888052] ([a275980]); [a=Three Fish] & [a2990495] ([a377056]); [a=The Wellwater Conspiracy] ([a284484]). Fan club: -[l64797] (label entry). -[a6976748] (artist entry).

LYRICS

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 soul
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 had
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 that I will be

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why can't it be can't it be mine
