Better Man by Pearl Jam

Mercurywaxing’s jam on 16 Jul ’14 (See all)

“Theme: Bad Relationships It's hard to do a theme about bad relationships without slipping over into abusive relationships. This song can go either way. I've heard it said he abuses her, but I read it that he's out too late with the guys, or cheating. For some reason, she stays but she doesn't know why. The image is from Pearl Jam's "Sleeping Alone" but I think it fits.”

Bit different from my usual jams. I was introduced to Pearl Jam via an ex-boyfriend (the only decent thing he brought to the relationship) and since then have had a massive Eddie Vedder crush. He will always be my Better Man!   5

Can you imagine writing a song & having that many people sing it back at you? Amazing. I still pine for Eddie. Better Man Pearl Jam.   1

I was never a huge Pearl Jam fan when they blasted on the scene in the early 90s, but I've grown to appreciate them more in my advancing age. This is definitely one of their better (corny pun intended), if not best, tune.   2
