Pearl Jam – Got Some

• 0
  General Comment:I agree first part is about junk on the radio and no one out and about. PJ's got some if they need it. Real rock is already gone from radio except for the same old, repeated - now worn out - hits on classics stations. If you're fortunate enough to have a real independent station I'd support them all you can. My town has none. LA lost theirs. Not too many young bands are putting out real hot rock anymore. Too much junk. The good stuff is suppressed. As the Kaiser Cheifs say, "it's cool to know nothing" while your brother goes off to drop bombs or get shot or kill someone. Humans need to wake up to how they're being preyed upon and manipulated.

  General Comment:I`ve just created this account to write that I spent last 03 minutes 03 seconds dancing like hell to this song.
  Oh - I`m 30/male and I have that gut feeling that I just got some of a great earth shaking rock song from Eddie Vedder.
  
  Cheers

  My Interpretation:I'm getting the feeling that this song is actually directed at the fans or rather, just the people that listen to music today. There isn't any good rock music anymore, especially on the radio. But, Ed Ved has got some rock music. And you better come and get it now because, lets face it, he's getting old and won't be able to rock anymore.

  Song Meaning:It's for when it's not flowing, you're not feeling it. The lights gone out of your life or in your room you can't even recognize yourself in the mirror. "Every night with the lights out where you gone? What's wrong" And you can't get it going. "You can try but you can't turn on YOUR rock song" And the rest of the song is a 'Here you go. We've got one.'--a rallying point. The guys are just trying to cheer you up, share some of that rockin spirit "got some if you need it" "Carry on" "EVERYBODY get it on". And i suppose it could be considered a commentary on the fragility of the moment, the aspect of having to seize the inspiration when it's there "get it" "before it's gone"
