Had a dream last night that PJ announced a new single, but I woke up before I heard it. Sorry team.
An email I sent to my best friend and fellow PJ traveler some years ago about a dream I had:
"Last night i dreamed up a new, fully realized Pearl Jam song. In the relevant part of the dream, I was sitting at my computer browsing some PJ bootleg site and listening to songs from a show they'd played recently. I clicked on one, and when Eddie was introducing it to the crowd he said it was based on Train Dreams, a novella by Denis Johnson, which I read a few years ago. So, i'm listening to the performance and following along with the lyrics on some other website where someone had transcribed them, and, well, it was all amazing. I don't remember details of the book at the moment, but whatever the lyrics in the dream were, they were brilliant and poignant and altogether some of the best he'd written in a long, long time. He had younger-Eddie voice, like from the 2000 tour, which is the tour that has my favorite Eddie voice and general PJ sound. It was a short song, no more than three minutes, and if I had to compare it in tone and tempo to something that exists for real, I'd liken it to the lovechild of "I Got Id" and "Sad". It wasn't a slow song, so, tempo-wise, take three parts "Sad" and one part "ID". Lyrically and vocally, though, it would be three parts "Id" and one part "Sad". Or, put another way, weighted toward the last two stages of grief more than the first three.
I was aware the whole time that I would never hear this song again, and I tried to somehow remember the last, say, four lines, but everything is gone. Lyrics, melody, music, everything. But it was so fucking good."
