I am Mine
Pearl Jam's new single ready to roll
by: cece kegg-smith

Seattle -- Pearl Jam has announced the title for their long awaited seventh studio album named, Riot Act. The CD originally slated for a November 19 release has been moved up a week to November 12.

According to the a band spokesperson;"everyone's so excited about it, so, why wait?"

The first single "I Am Mine", will find its way to your favorite radio stations and web sites by September 13th. If you are into purchasing the commercial single, backed with a non-album track "Down", it will be available October 8.

Take a look at the brilliant lyrics for "I Am Mine" though. The times have definitely made this band reflect on our trouble times. Eddie Vedder sings the song in an inward style. It truly is a gem of modern times.

I Am Mine - Pearl Jam

the selfish, they're all standing in line
faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
me, i figure, as each breath goes by
i only own my mind
the north is to south what the clock is to time
there's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
i know i was born and i know that i'll die
the in-between is mine
i am mine

and the feeling, it gets left behind
oh the innocence lost at one time
significant behind the eyes
there's no need to hide
we're safe tonight

the ocean is full cuz everyone's crying
the full moon is looking for friends at high tide
the sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
i only know my mind
i am mine

and the meaning, it gets left behind
oh the innocence lost at one time
significance behind the eyes
there's no need to hide
we're safe tonight
whoa!

and the feelings, they get left behind
oh the innocence broken with lies
significance between the lines
we may need to hide...

and the meanings, they get left behind
oh the innocence lost at one time
we're all different behind the eyes
there's no need to hide

Pearl jam's front man Eddie Vedder shows a great deal of passion and peaceful defiance. His supporting cast show the necessary ability and skills to create a great sense of synergy, while creating beautiful music.

After hearing "I Am Mine", and looking at the track listing, I can honestly say; that I can't wait for Riot Act to come out. This one could very well be their best album ever.
