Is this just another day, this God forgotten place
First comes love and then comes pain
Let the games begin
Questions rise and answers fall, insurmountable

Love boat captain, take the reigns
And steer us towards the clear, here
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough
All you need is love

Is this just another phase?
Of earthquakes making waves
Trying to shake the cancer off?
Oh, stupid human beings
Once you hold the hand of love
It's all surmountable

Hold me and make it the truth
That when all is lost there'll be you
Cuz to the universe, i don't mean a thing
And there is just one word i still believe
And it's love...

It's an art to live with pain, mix the light into grey
Lost nine friends we'll never know, two years ago today
And if our lives became too long
Would it add to our regret?

And the young they can lose hope
Cuz they can't see beyond today...
The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey
Constant recoil
Sometimes life don't leave you alone

Hold me and make it the truth
That when all is lost there will be you
Cuz to the universe, I don't mean a thing
And there is just one word and I still believe
And it's love... love, love, love, love

Love boat captain, take the reins
Steer us towards the clear
I know it's already been sung
It can't be said enough
Love is all you need... all you need is love
Love, love...

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.
