[Verse 1]
Comes the summer rain
Cue the lightning and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
In meditations, lifting out in the sound

[Pre-Chorus]
The more mistakes, the more resolve
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

[Chorus]
Stars align they say when
Things are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us 'round, 'round
Seven seas are raising
Forever futures fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, 'round

[Verse 2]
Accelerate the change
Feeling equal and opposite all the same
Momentum rearranged
Shout, the echo, returning back but now changed

[Pre-Chorus]
The rusted shapes refuse to fall
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

[Chorus]
Stars align they say when
Times are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us 'round, 'round
Seven seas are raising
Forever futures fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, 'round

[Post-Chorus]
Hear the sound
In the distance now
Could be thunder
Or a crowd

[Outro]
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
