Pearl Jam Album: “Light Years/Greivance/Soon Forget [US CD]”

Obviously, you've heard the song 'Light Years,' so there's no sense in talking about that...but the live version of 'Grievance' makes this single more than worth it...more energy and punch than the album's version, this song really flies live. And the timid little version of 'Soon Forget' is quite charming in itself. Another great Pearl Jam single...

This has got to be one of the few PJ songs where Ed Vedder really lets people see what he feels in a simple way. The song is written more as a tribute, than a personal track. It deals with the loss of someone very important to him in life, and someone of great influence.

This song is also great because it was composed by the whole band together. Its probably the most touching and commercial song in Binaural. And because of its format and sentiment, it could be a hit like "last kiss" was.

"Grievance" and "Soon Forget" are live tracks with excellent sound. These are sort of a preview of the Bootlegs that would be released a few moths after the single.

ok i just bought light years at the mall.......i mean for 4 bucks you get the incredible "light years", the pounding "grievance", and the brilliant"soon forget"....im one of those guys who gotta get all the singles so with the live tracks this is a must and it doesnt dissapoint! ..first of all ''light years'' is a beautifally written song about a lost friend ..its one of those singalongs and u will find the song really sticks in your head..the lyrics are beautiful...next is "grievance" live....this even rivals the studio recording of grievance..the guitars and vedder's screaming vocals are brilliant...."soon forget" live is great too ..im sure this one will entertain fans at concerts for years..its just vedder and a ukelele....vedder even messes up at the end but corrects it....a terrific single to add to your pearl jam collection.
