What were all those dreams we shared
those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made now
left beside the road?

    This is the best opener/closer combo of any Pearl Jam album. Selftitled's was pretty good, too. What a band. Aging like a fine wine.

    I didn't like this song at first, sounded too melodramatic for my taste.. but it really grew on me. Great song and beautifully delivered.

    very emotional and disturbing song... "more than friends I always pledged cause friends they come and go" - this line ALWAYS sends shivers down my spine......
