[Verse 1]
Can't know what's high
Until you been down so low
The future's bright
Lit up with no where to go

[Chorus]
To and fro the pendulum throws
We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

[Verse 2]
Understand what we don't know
This might pass, this might last
This may grow
Easy come easy go
Easy left me a long time ago
I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold
Nothing works, works for me anymore

[Interlude]
I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I-I, I-I
I-I-I-I-I, I-I

[Chorus]
To and fro
To and fro
To and fro

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.
